Sign me the gently caress up, same name here as in game. Do we need to keep using the same deck forever? I don't see what goes wrong if we just bring a different deck each week or use the same one, it isn't like decklists are going to be public. Also Cloud of Faeries should have been banned back when Cloudpost bit the dust.

Cactrot posted:Decided, I'll be playing Slivers because it is a fun and cool deck. Did you figure out a way to draw exactly 2-4 lands and never 1 land or 5+ lands? Because I couldn't. It's probably much better now that it doesn't get wrecked by Cloud into Sprite but it was just too vulnerable to flooding for me to get Slivers to work.

ScarletBrother posted:I broke down and bought a pair of Oubliettes when I found some sub $14 and also got a grip of Chainer's Edict before the buyout. Does one of you fine goons have a Mono Black Control list featuring Hymn to Tourach? This is for a paper event where the TO refused to ban Hymn and Goblin Grenade. Loaning a buddy goblins and I want to Hymn fools, but I don't know really what to cut for it. Thanks in advance! If Goblin Grenade is legal, I suggest going with a deck with 4 Hymn, 4 Witches, 4 Crypt Rats and 4 Tendrils of Corruption, and a bunch of swamps. Hymn is insanely powerful, far more powerful than anything else in Pauper, but doesn't really fit in with the 2-for-1 creature theme of the current MTGO MBC decks. If Goblin Grenade exists, you should move away from too many edicts, and switch to more targeted removal.

TheLawinator posted:I could see sorin's thirst being a possibility depending on the meta. I'd be tempted to go with pestilence over rats because of the constant threat of grenade. With Hymn I'd think about running 2 in the main 2 in the board maybe swapping out a piece of removal or not running an unearth package. It definitely trends more towards a faster deck. At minimum just replace any wrench minds with hymns obviously. Goblin Grenade is a Sorcery, and if you are getting to five mana (Pestilence plus at least one activation) you're probably going to beat Goblins assuming you can dig yourself out of the Death Spark hole. Hymn is not a card you only run 2 of - for two mana you get an easy two for one, with the random chance of screwing your opponent. Hymn is basically the perfect two-mana play for MBC - you put the opponent down resources for little mana investment and can then cast your sweet 3 drop creatures or some removal to put them further behind, or to start to stabilize. e: suicidesteve posted:A very special announcement on how to report your score suicidesteve posted:I got it 2/1. Game 1 Compulsive Research decked him, game 2 I got Delved to death, and game 3 he timed out with no board and a hand of lands. I kinda wish I'd lost so I could play a different deck; this one is friggin' miserable.  The Shortest Path posted:Is there anything worth playing Dark Ritual for in Pauper? At one point I tried to make Black Aggro work, and could not beat a reasonable Delver draw and could never beat MBC or Burn. Dark Ritual is fine if you can get some sort of combo working, but there's no Hippie or Necro to ramp out. Hellsau fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Mar 9, 2016 |

If we want to do this, do we need to make a custom match in the "just for fun" room and make our opponent find us? I was lazy and just challenged my opponent, and if it was looking like we'd run out of time for a third game I'd just make a new match.

Hellsau wins. Hellsau 2 - Frozen_flame 0. U/B Control is truly great. Kuldotha, you can grind all you want, I'll just sit over here playing my value creatures and then suddenly Capsize lock! Or Ghostly Flicker - Chittering Rats - Mnemonic Wall lock! It helps that Frozen's draws were clunky and slow - Skyfisher bouncing Chromatic Star isn't optimal.

Okay, can someone please tell me why people are playing creatures in Burn? It turns some of your best matchups into some of your worst matchups, and specifically destroys your mirror match by turning a dead card (Searing Blaze) into the best possible spell. Keldon Marauders is whatever since paying 2 mana for a slow 2 damage is horrendous but not nearly as bad as playing a Goblin Fireslinger and suddenly turning on the 3 dead spells in your MBC opponent's hand, or turning on Tron's Firebolts. Curse of the Pierced Heart is incredibly good for Burn because it gives you some staying power and can help you win games where you draw 6 mountains. Keldon Marauders is Best-Case Scenario mentality (5 damage for 2 mana!) and Goblin Fireslinger is the greediest Curse of Pierced Heart.
