Hey guys! I've been having some real fun with the new set, I've went to the release, a draft, and 2 standard tournaments so far but it just hit me that this set, as well as Theros, has put some pretty awesome pauper cards into play. I've read over all of the new cards and noticed that they would be pretty fun to play in pauper, but I've yet to make any decks yet. So feel free to post any of your new decklists, strategies, or just individual card discussion here, I'm eager to make a killer pauper deck soon!
Thanks!:)
Yeah that's my strategy right now, I throw stuff like Aqueous Form and Thassa, God of the Sea ability and Holy Mantle and more stuff like that to make him unblockable and then some stuff to power him up a lot like Righteous Authority , Ethereal Armor and just a TON of enchantments, with a bit of protection spells for daxos in case he gets caught in a mess before I can save him with enchantments. Then drop a Sphere of Safety for the lols.
Although I was kinda wanting to build a new commander, those suggestions still help me a lot because I'm keeping my daxos deck and I have none of those cards in my deck yet and they would fit in really well, thanks!
So I'm pretty excited about Born of the gods and I've decided I'll put a bit more money into magic and make some new decks
I'm thinking I want to go G/W aggro or G/U flash or midrange
I need decklists and ideas, I want to stay under 300$ for this deck (college is pretty expensive, haha)
While I'd rather have the colors I mentioned, feel free to post a decklist you just think will be really fun. My current decks are just mono devotion decks and are really effective yet pretty boring, I play in tournaments every other week on average but I mostly like playing with friends so any fun-to-play deck is welcome!
Also I'd like to keep as little ravnica block & M14 in this deck as possible so that I don't have to completely change it when M15 rolls around, I know that's pretty far off but I don't buy cards really often
Thanks!
I've got a blue white commander that does alright, but all it is is Daxos of Meletis with a whole lot of enchantments to throw on him and make him a power house to deal out 21 commander damage fast, while this is effective, It'sbland and I kinda just threw it together with spare cards.
Anyway, I need ideas and decklists if you have 'em. Any color, any function, the only concern is price, which shouldn't be so much of an issue in EDH. I'm looking to stay in or under the 100$ range
Thanks!
Sanguine bond definitely seems like a good addition to a mono-black devotion, would it's effect cause double life lost with grey merchant? If so, that's awesome. Crypt incursion doesn't seem like something I would be targeting my graveyard a lot with though, my mono-black is centered around grey merchant and killing him and bringing him right back over and over again with cards like Grim Return, Whip of Erebos and Corpse Hauler
Greetings Dennin. The best way to deal with fast decks is to just stop their aggression with early removal spells like mizzium mortars or something. Even in mono blue you have Sensory Deprivation which destroys mono red decks that don't run Fanatic of Mogis. Another way to deal with it is lifegain, but generally speaking lifegain isn't a great way to win the game, so it isn't hugely viable. There is, however, one really good lifegain card in standard right now (that no one runs because it's just unnecessary), and that's Heroes' Reunion. I'd need to see a decklist to give more specific card recommendations though. I have two decks in my sig that are quite cheap if you want to check them out. Good luck!
Sorry I couldn't get a decklist up, my friends aren't around at the moment and I don't think they want me getting advice on specifically dealing with their decks, haha. Life gain and sensory deprvation do seem like good ideas for a deck as well as the decklists you have, they will definitely help me out here. Although mizzium mortars is actually one of the cards in my friends' decks, so I'm fighting fire with fire there, and yeah I am dealing with fanatic of mogis sadly, but it isn't really a problem with my black deck cause my grey merchant is a bit more devastating, it's just all the burn that I can't do much about.
Hello there,
I'm moderately new, a little over half a year to playing magic now, so I have a pretty decent understanding of the game, but what I just can't get a good hold of is deck building. I play a few tournaments every now and again, and I do pretty decent for the amount of money spent on my decks as well as my battle experience, I have typical (but cheaper) mono blue and mono black devotion decks. But what I really like is playing with my friends when we're together, and almost all of my friends have decided to build red aggro and burn decks, and my cheap little black and blue devotion decks can't deal with it very well, I need some assistance with taking out decks like that, they always burn me and everything I have before I can do anything about it.:-/
They use cards such as Boros Reckoner, Rakdos Cackler, Guttersnipe, Magma Jet, etc
Budget is a bit of an issue (keeping under about 100$), but deck color and type is entirely variable, I love playing with new decks and learning how to use them, as well as refining my existing ones, although I'd rather not fight fire with fire in this situation because they're decks are a bit expensive and I don't see a cheaper copycat deck denting theirs. Also the deck needs to remain standard if at all possible
since Rapport only gives life and nothing else,Realms Ramps you to nothing, Crusader... well you already got Wayfaring Temple, Riot and maybe all other fog effects (except Deliverance) since they are not all that usefull in your deck. and also instead of wildwood you can play Serene Remembrance to rebuy your token making cards. There are more that we could change but I will not intrude too much into your deck
I'm open to change anything, so you're not intruding on my deck at all, thanks I'm not all sure about Midnight Haunting though, it just seems like too much mana for not that good of tokens, I could be wrong though
I'm relatively new to magic, I competed in a tournament Friday and went 4 wins to 6 losses, which isn't bad considering it was my first tournament, and about my eighth time battling ever, but the wins were due to strokes of luck, 2 of them I was battling a guy that was using a friends deck and didn't know how to use it. but anyway, here's my deck, I need help building it, keep in mind that it has to be standard tournament playable
2 Druid's Deliverance
3 Riot Control
1 Avacyn's Pilgrim
2 Arbor Elf
4 Fog
1 Predator's Rapport
1 Plummet
1 Thragtusk
1 Boundless Realms
1 Wildwood Rebirth
1 Collective Blessing
1 Armada Wurm
2 Trostani's Summoner
2 Wayfaring Temple
1 Growing Ranks
1 Alive//Well
1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride
1 Cloudshift
2 Frontline Medic
1 Crusader of Odric
1 Odric, Master Tactician
2 Sphere of Safety
1 Captain of the Watch
3 Pacifism
Lands
11 Plains
2 Selesnya Guildgate
4 Grove of the Guardian
9 Forest
So you can probably tell I'm running a token/life gaining deck
Also, I'm new to this site, so if I listed anything wrongly, please let me know, thanks!:)
