Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

[InflatablePie]

P.EDIT: Pie, if we drop the conscripts, I know of another sexy little 5-drop we can use to take its place that fits perfectly with this deck...

$40-$50 for a playset and by the time you get the extra cash to drop on cards Gatecrash will be out and you'll probably change the deck up by then <_<

But if you got one or two of them somehow I guess they'd be okay

[Sudo_Nym]

I've also got Jarad, Lich Lord. Worth it as a miser one-of?

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/gw-29-09-12-2/

is the list I'm working on for my FNM'ing for the near future. Probably going to trade for some overgrown tomb once I get my Temple Gardens and the last Thragtusk I need to finish the list.

The Black splash is for Sever the Bloodline out of the sideboard to deal with Miracle'd Entreat the Angels.

[bv310]

Hey Reck, what are the chances you're going to GP Charleston in a few weeks?

[xRECKONERx]

Slim to none, why?

[bv310]

They're doing Pauper side events and I was going to give you some lists to go win some boxes with.

[xRECKONERx]

Oh well if you wanna give me lists for that maybe I'll go...

[xRECKONERx]

Seriously, I've never touched Pauper. But it'd be fun.

[bv310]

What do you like playing? Aggro, Combo, or Control?

[xRECKONERx]

I like aggro the most but I can play whatever.

[xRECKONERx]

Also keep in mind my card resources are limited since I've only been playing since m12

[chamber]

You'll be at a GP (lots of vendors) And the most expensive pauper decks are probably going to run you like 10-20 dollars for the whole deck.

[xRECKONERx]

Well in that case, hit me with it. I prefer aggro decks but can play whatever.

[InflatablePie]

Hey bv, mind shooting me the lists, too? I've been interested in pauper but no one around here really plays it and I don't feel like signing up for MtG:O just to play pauper. So if Reck ends up going I'd be down for tagging along; it might be fun.

Prefer combo, control, aggro in that order but it doesn't matter too much to me what I play.

[bv310]

For aggro, the standard right now is Stompy:

4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Skarrgan Pit-Skulk
4 Young Wolf
4 Quirion Ranger

4 Silhana Ledgewalker
2 Safehold Elite
2 Wild Mongrel
1 Shinen of Life's Roar
4 Rancor
1 Bonesplitter

4 Groundswell
4 Vines of Vastwood
3 Gather Courage
2 Hunger of the Howlpack

17 Forests

Very basic goal: beat face as much as possible


For combo (my baby archetype, I can talk this much more), there's 3 that tend to be very effective: Storm, WeeFiend, and Infect

Storm is inevitable. If you let Storm be, they win. period.

4 Rite of Flame
4 Manamorphose
4 Dark Ritual
3 Cabal Ritual
2 Seething Song

4 Lotus Petal
4 Chromatic Star
4 Chromatic Sphere
4 Ponder
4 Sign in Blood
3 Ideas Unbound

2 Duress

4 Grapeshot
2 Empty the Warrens

4 Ancient Spring
4 Geothermal Crevice
4 Sulfur Vent
Sideboard:
4 Red Elemental Blast
3 Echoing Truth
3 Goblin Bushwhacker
2 Empty the Warrens
2 Duress
1 Seething Song

Storm suffers from the weakness to a couple cards. Echoing Decay/Echoing Truth are rough against the Empty the Warrens builds. (I want to play Storm, but I have no money for it). It's GOOD



Infect is a more interesting matchup. It relies on playing an Infect creature early, and pumping it to 10 for lethal. Apostle's Blessing/Vines of Vastwood are your protection, Invigorate literally wins you games on its own.

Lands (18)
18 Forest

Creatures (14)
4 Glistener Elf
4 Ichorclaw Myr
4 Blight Mamba
2 Cystbearer

Other (8)
4 Apostle's Blessing
4 Gitaxian Probe
Pumps (20)
4 Rancor
4 Vines of Vastwood
4 Mutagenic Growth
4 Invigorate
4 Groundswell
SB (15)
4 Nature's Claim
4 Hornet Sting
4 Sandstorm
3 Seal of Strength

(I <3 Infect. Shit be cray yo)



Next is the Tier 2 combo, WeeFiend. It's been my personal baby since I started playing Pauper. It plays nearly the same as Infect, but most of its pump spells are also cantrips.

Lands:

4 Terramorphic Expanse
8 Island
8 Mountain

20 Lands


Sideboard:


0 Sideboard Cards
Creatures:

4 Kiln Fiend
4 Wee Dragonauts
4 Delver of Secrets

12 Creatures
Other Spells:

4 Assault Strobe
4 Mutagenic Growth
4 Distortion Strike
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Ponder
4 Vapor Snag

I personally prefer Shadow Rift or Artful Dodge over Distortion Strike, but it's personal preference



As a bonus, here's a list that's near-totally untested. It's the one I'm running now, and have been eagerly waiting for RTR to commit to: HEXMASK

Creatures (16) :
4 Slippery Boggle
3 Gladecover Scout
4 Silhana Ledgewalker
3 Aura Gnarlid
2 Totem-Guide Hartebeest

Mana Enchantements (6) :

2 Wild Growth x 2
4 Utopia Sprawl x 4

Creature Enchantments (16) :

4 Ethereal Armor
4 Rancor
4 Armadillo Cloak
4 Ancestral Mask

Removal Enchantments (4) :

4 Journey to Nowhere

Lands (18) :

6 Plains
12 Forest

Sideboard (15) :

4 Sandstorm
3 Oblivion Ring
3 Circle of Protection: red
3 Circle of Protection: black
2 Soltari Visionary

I hate the sideboard from this list, but it works. Sandstorm is wicked-strong against a lot of decks.


One thing to worry about with everything, Diabolic Edict. Edict effects exist in the Mono-B Rats deck, and it sucks. Same with targeted and non-targeted discard. Thos ehurt, and the Mono-B control list has it in spades.

Also, mono-U and/or UR Cloudpost will both beat you by running you out. Post drowns you in card advantage, and then sets up Ghostly Flicker + Mnemonic Wall/Archaeomancer + Spellstutter Sprite to lock you out.

[bv310]

Related story: for Storm, there is an alternative that focuses on Goblin Bushwhacker/Empty the Warrens instead of Grapeshot as primary wincon. You can find that list elsewhere, I like it less than the one I posted.

[Glork]

Reck/Pie, remind me to look through my piles of boxes of cards or these. I'm p sure I have like 20-50% of most of these deck lists already.

[xRECKONERx]

Please do, Glork!

@bv310: I thought Pauper was common-only. You can use uncommons?

[chamber]

It is common only. But the card just needs to have been printed as a common at some point, most recent printing doesn't matter (Assuming you are talking about rancor).

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, was talking about Rancor. I actually think I have a playset of those already.

[bv310]

It is common only. But the card just needs to have been printed as a common at some point, most recent printing doesn't matter (Assuming you are talking about rancor).

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

But yeah, there's a handful of cards that have this. Rancor's the only important one that comes to mind.

Also, there's a format called Peasant where you get 6 uncommons. This was where I found out that Force of Will was an uncommon.

[Glork]

Okay, Reck/Pie. I took a look through some of my cards, and here's what I've found so far... I've bolded it below.

Note that I know I have at least one more massive box of cards somewhere among my still-packed stuff that I can't find yet. It has a lot of older cards (Mirrodin block and earlier), and should be able to cover a few more of some of these decklists.

For aggro, the standard right now is Stompy:

4 Nettle Sentinel

4 Skarrgan Pit-Skulk

4 Young Wolf
4 Quirion Ranger

4 Silhana Ledgewalker
2 Safehold Elite

2

Wild Mongrel (have 1)
1 Shinen of Life's Roar

I've got... some of Stompy/WeeFiend, and actually most of Storm, aside from the mana base. I should be able to find some Seething Songs, maybe 1-2 Cabal Rituals, and REB, Sign in Blood if I can find the rest of my collection...
I don't have much of anything from Infect, because I didn't play any paper magic between Zendikar and... well, now. I'm also missing a lot of WeeFiend for the same reason, it looks like.

tons of them, actually. For instance, serrated arrows.

I don't have a sideboard yet, though I think Nearheath Pilgrims is going in for RDW matchups, and probably Sundering Growths to deal with Oblivion Rings. Did some playtesting today against a friend of mine and I have too much mana and no way to deal with tempo/wipes. I'm thinking throwing in some Thalias is a good move, but I dunno. Thoughts?
