I really enjoyed the story, even though a pretty cool Planeswalker had to have a meeting with an axe. It feels pretty odd to watch Elite Inquisitor, now that I know he was a Planeswalker.
Let me ask you this, because it WILL happen: what will you do against a red deck running Scuttling Doom Engine and Shrapnel Blast? Or R/G, for that matter.
I'd probably just kill the engine and hope to not die. If I have already sideboarded, Nylea's Disciple will keep me alive.
There are so few artifacts/enchantments I want to get rid of in my local playgroup that I don't have Exile spells for them. If they become more common, I'll just throw in some Fade into Antiquitys...
Looks good. I'm not happy that I cut Setessan Tactics, but I'm figuring whatever I attack with, if blocked, will end up dying, anyway. Depending on the deck's first FNM, that will be a deciding factor. I'm nit sure I like Soul of Zendikar. It's reach is nice, but paying 5 for a 3/3 seems rather steep, especially compared to just about any other monster green could cast for the same, or less cmc.
My favorite color is green. I enjoy playing overwhelming creatures that my opponent has to answer, or get wrecked. My favorite thing in Magic is ramping and I love lands.
Black is my least favorite color. Every time when there is a choice to be good or evil (in a video game for example), I always choose good. Black just reads "evil" to me. There are zero black mechanics I enjoy, so I just don't want to play black.
Even though I have some foil basic lands, I just love the look of Zendikar lands. I have 10 Mountains, 10 Plains, 10 Islands, 10 Swamps and about 40 Forests. I need to get more of them, because I usually use them in drafts too!
The story was interesting. I didn't expect Jalira and Yisan to be thieves, but it was a good kind of surprise. I have no opinion about the new/old Sliver discussion, but it was interesting to know more about them.
Hello! Pretty much everybody in our playgroup has a some kind of Pauper EDH deck and so I decided to make one too. UG is my favorite color combination, so I'll go with it. I've played "normal" EDH before but I didn't enjoy it too much. But seeing others play with their pauper EDH decks and it looked pretty fun!
1. I haven't played that much EDH so I'm not sure how useful Hexproof or similar abilities are in that format.
2. The plan is to (hopefully) cast Coiling Oracle on the second turn and get the cards/mana flowing. Should I have more 1/2CMC creatures or can I count Coiling Oracle to be my second turn creature every time?
3. I have a few counterspells to help casting my big guys or protecting them from removal. Is that amount enough or should I add more? If so, which spells?
4. Should I add more pump instant/sorcery spells or are those enchantments enough?
The price was a big surprise. Normally when a set comes out, everything gets cheaper. Luckily I already traded two at the prerelease : )

Yeah, Arbor Colossus seems to be superior in almost any situation. If I need a mana sink, there are Polukranos, World Eater, Hydra Broodmaster and Genesis Hydra...
Time and playtesting will tell which monsters should I keep and what amount of them.
4x Courser of Kruphix
4x Elvish Mystic
2x Genesis Hydra
2x Hydra Broodmaster
2x Nylea, God of the Hunt
3x Polukranos, World Eater
2x Soul of New Phyrexia
4x Sylvan Caryatid
2x Voyaging Satyr
2x Chord of Calling
3x Setessan Tactics
Sorcery
2x Life's Legacy
Planeswalker
3x Nissa, Worldwaker
Land
22x Forest
3x Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
4x Arbor Colossus
3x Mistcutter Hydra
4x Nylea's Disciple
4x Reclamation Sage
I'm going to test Soul of New Phyrexia in the main deck to see if it has any effect. If it doesn't, I might replace it with Scuttling Doom Engine, Arbor Colossus or Soul of Zendikar.
Black is my least favorite color. Every time when there is a choice to be good or evil (in a video game for example), I always choose good. Black just reads "evil" to me. There are zero black mechanics I enjoy, so I just don't want to play black.
Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!
