Jan 16, 2014XBM Yosho posted a message on Primer constructionThus far it looks pretty solid. I agree with Obermeir on the inclusion of a Peasant section. It won't be a large section to add but it does give additional options.Posted in: -spooky- Blog

Jun 14, 2013XBM Yosho posted a message on Banned from the casual forum for 2 weeks.I am very much with you Cz on calling people out on bad advice and the like, I do my very best to keep the paper Pauper/Peasant section alive much as you do with multiplayer, I gave it a rules thread, started the Primer sub-section and I actively call people out if they throw something horrid out there. I certainly hope I don't get a vague ban one day because of it.Posted in: Cz Blog

Please understand the rules of a certain format before making blatant posts. This format falls under paper, paper Pauper is an unofficial format thus it has no such restrictions officially. The only official form of Pauper is online. However if a playgroup wishes to enforce a ban list they can.
Those are some good options! Strip Bare is a pretty beast card and War Report is a pretty bonkers sideboard option for anything artifact related.

As I have said before, if a discussion must take place on the matter please direct it to the corresponding thread HERE.

I am sure you saw this deck within my Soldier primer, but I figured I would post it in here to be added to the primer as an example deck, tweak it, and or just talk about it.
XBM Yosho's Pauper Equipment Soldiers
Pretty straight forward, slap down your creatures and rely on your equipment to activate the abilities. Use your fetch lands to double proc your Adventuring Gear for a deadly strike or massive life gain.
4 Auriok Glaivemaster
4 Deftblade Elite
4 Kitesail Apprentice
4 Sunspear Shikari
4 Veteran Armorsmith
4 Veteran Swordsmith
4 Bonesplitter
4 Adventuring Gear
4 Bone Saw
Instants
4 Unified Strike
Lands
4 Evolving Wilds
16 Plains
2 Dust to Dust
2 Circle of Protection: Red
2 Circle of Protection: Black
4 Standard Bearer
2 Unmake
3 Sunlance
I would agree that they should be added. Regardless of personal tastes the fact remains that this format has no ban list thus all information should be available for people to do with as they wish.
The primer is coming along nicely, some spoiler tags here and there to shrink it a bit and it'll be great!
You make a good point, it is easily the best equipment available. Perhaps since it employs black mana it wasn't added.
Though this also further expresses my point of branching out a bit into other colors. Decks like my Equipment deck that feature both Cranial Plating and Horned Helm make for a lot of fun. A deck that has green mana in it makes Horned Helm even better.
Well considering as this is more based off Equipment then soldiers you can always just rename it [Primer] Pauper / Peasant Equipment.
My Soldier Primer focused more on the tribal aspect and each soldier helping and pumping the other. This one basically has nothing to do with soldiers if the truth were known. You're not using Daru Warchief's in Peasant, you're not using Ballyrush Banneret's or Veteran Swordsmith's in Pauper.
Maybe you can refocus it a bit and branch out into other types of equipment decks and suggestions not just pertaining to soldiers or mono-W. That way you can also add decks that are little power houses like my Equipment deck in my signature. That deck has some beat face power.
I agree, normally Auriok Sunchaser would be the choice but perhaps depending on the meta Carapace Forger's extra point of power and toughness are enough to warrant the use of him.
I personally prefer my version of the deck though.
As far as Terrarion is concerned, it fixes two mana and grants card draw, so I can see the benefits.
For instance you don't really build a deck around Mother of Runes, you just sort of add her into your already crazy White Weenie Pauper deck in place of Benevolent Bodyguard. The core of the deck remains the same, but she is just a better version of that card.
As for the cards you mentioned, I don't know if I would actually build a deck around those. I would prefer to add something to an already proven deck that would just make it better such as Vampire Nighthawk, Hypnotic Specter or Demonic Tutor. One card you almost always have to consider for the uncommon slot over a lot is Aether Vial.
Not really a constructive response, I'm sure they're decks out there that are built around something though.
1 Drop:
You can basically just copy and paste my support section into yours, they are basically the same.
Support:
Path to Exile Along with the above, it is the best white removal spell in the game.
Brave the Elements You have an army and can deal enough damage to win? Cast this and they can't block you anymore, GG.
Skullclamp A nice pump aside from the -1 toughness, worst case scenario you get to draw a card from it.
Aether Vial Excellent for Peasant Turbo-Soldiers!
I will add a section into my Primer linking directly over here if they want a more in depth look into what an equipment based soldier deck would be as I didn't really want to delve into myself.
Running three mana in Pauper is going to be somewhat difficult. It will slow the inherent speed and massing ability of Slivers a bit. I don't really see a way to get around it other then using Lotus Petal, Naya Panorama, or the traditional Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds.
Are you sure you want to play three colors?
1: Change the name of the thread. Go into the advanced edit options and change it to [Primer] Pauper / Peasant Steel Soldiers. It will make the section look much cleaner.
2: Under the one drop section you need to put a space in between the rating and name of both Ardent Recruit and Auriok Glaivemaster.
3: Under the three drop section you need a space in between the rating and Veteran Swordsmith.
4: I personally wouldn't undercut Sylvok Lifestaff, I would give it a rating of 3 and a sideboard description.
5: You need a space in between Circle of Protection: Red and the rating.
6: Some of the ratings are lower then others, so you should arrange the cards in each section from best to worst.
