Hi everyone! I wonder if someone has some experience against the new monach decks. Any tips to face the mu after sb?? Does sb need any changes to adapt this new meta?
If you want to push your SB against Boros Monarch, I would increase the number of Stormbound Geist and maybe add a second Gorilla Shaman. To win the "value fight", countering their Hawks and Skyfishers goes a long way (don't forget to hold a Counterspell for their Palace Sentinels, unless you can immediately take over the monarch). Most of the time it's not worth to use countermagic to protect your threads, there are more creatures in your deck to draw. But keeping them from getting value with their 2-for-1 bounce creatures will lead to a situation where your opponent will run out of gas and you don't.
Nice primer, a good resource for someone like me who's just looking to get into Pauper with UR Delver.
A small nit-pick, in the Match-up and side board section, your card names in the "in/out-section" are linked as e.g. "-4 Lightning Bolt" instead of "-4 Lightning Bolt" which makes the popup not happen.
Thanks for the feedback! I‘ll fix that when I have time. Until then, welcome to pauper, the mtg format with the most intense games. Izzet Delver is atm the deck to beat in pauper. Enjoy the ride!
Cavalry Drillmaster in white weenie along with Kor Skyfisher to reuse the ETB effect
Goblin Instigator as another token generator in the goblins deck
Elvish Rejuvenator as ramp AND tron search in tron decks
And here's a link to a great article from Alex Ullman on the M19 cards seeing play: https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/core-set-2019-is-making-an-immediate-impact-on-pauper/

Cut one for new Tezz.
Scholar of Stars for Affinity?
This card has potential in dimir control builds.
Agreed.
Adamant Will
This card could see play in the Heroic deck
This Naturalize/Explore hybrid could see play in the SB of tron decks.
Tragic Poet
This card might see some play in enchantment based decks, most probably in a Tortured Existence deck that plays also white.
Rat Colony looks like fun, but Nausea and Electrickery destroy this deck after SB.
