I Love This
This is going to be really good for the ground water.
It seems the crust flap wasn't secured on this stuffed crust pizza
Like new drawing set, really nice find.
I'm not sure if I'll be keeping this or gifting it to another artist in the family, but I couldn't pass it up for 10 bucks.
Mad Dan's Den is sweet and you should check it out
This place is in the middle of nowhere, so I'm thinking a lot of you haven't seen it yet. This furniture and appliance store would actually make a great base, considering it's surrounded by a tall fence with 2 openings that need to be gated. It's also conveniently located in the center of the map, making it a perfect place to branch out from and explore the surrounding towns.
Even if you aren't looking for a new base, this place is worth checking out for the convenience of having so much furniture and appliances to choose from. Sim players rejoice! The house plants alone are worth the trip!
New to Pauper, coming from EDH, feedback appreciated
I usually build a lot of bracket 3 EDH decks, and I'm trying to branch out to have more opportunities to play Magic. Last time I went to the LGS, the only open table was playing Pauper.
Feedback on my first Pauper build would really be appreciated. The strategy involves filling the graveyard with larger creatures by cycling and milling, attacking with unblockable creatures or deathtouch weenies that no one wants to block, and sneaking out the commander during combat to reanimate the big boys in the graveyard. Once Karai is out, there are ways to give her evasion and protect her at instant speed.
Mainly, I'm curious if the deck seems weak, powerful, or comfortably between. Are there aspects of Pauper that I'm overlooking? Thank you in advance for any feedback or advice.
Carry out Bane's master plan in Magic: The Gathering
- Cast Villainous Syndication (Bane's "master plan")
- Cast Armed Assailant. Tap it to put a plan counter on Villainous Syndication.
- Cast Common Crook. Tap it to put a plan counter on Villainous Syndication.
- Cast Bane, Lord of Darkness. Make sure you have 20 or less life so he's indestructible and survives the plane crash.
- Cast Dr. Pavel, Nuclear Physicist. Don't worry about his triggered ability, that comes later.
- Cast Merciless Enforcers. Tap it to put a plan counter on Villainous Syndication.
- Cast Martyr for the Cause.
- Cast Deadly Cover-Up (feel free to collect evidence if you feel that it helps you carry out the master plan). When Martyr for the Cause dies from Deadly Cover-Up, proliferate the last plan counter on Villainous Syndication. When Villainous Syndication is sacrificed, bring Dr. Pavel back from the graveyard. Hopefully, Time Bomb was milled while tapping villains for Villainous Syndication. If so, you can bring Time Bomb from the graveyard into your hand when Dr. Pavel reenters the battlefield.
- Cast Time Bomb.

EDHREC says there are only 61 "toughness matters" decks in Orzhov colors. Here is one of them...
[[Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim]] really seems like an under-appreciated commander option, but I had a blast brewing her. I resisted the temptation to use the [[Sanguine Bond]] 2-card combo what would push this into bracket 4, instead exploring seldom used options, like [[Daru Spiritualist]] and [[Nomads en-Kor]] to gain infinite life with Ayli's sac ability.
There are so many neat cards out there which fit right into this obscure toughness matters/aristocrats/lifegain strategy. Until brewing this deck, I've never even seen [[Proper Burial]], [[Foul Renewal]], or [[Severed Strands]]. If this sort of deck piques your interest, check it out on the Archidekt link. There's a full primer to fill you in on how it all comes together. If you have any questions about the deck, I'd be glad to help.
Not. Really. Liking. This. New. Pathfinding.
I'm trying the new pre-release version and Fritz sure is taking his sweet time to stop and smell the flowers. Every step, in fact.
Any fun stories to share about this card?
I feel like Stunning Reversal would lead to some memorable moments, and I'd love to hear about them. Anyone try this with a [[Mister Negative]] type effect?
Full commander deck + sideboard and tokens using only artwork from Gustave Doré

This turned out to be a pretty big project, so I'm very eager to finally share it with the MTG community. The goal was to showcase Gustave Doré's artwork in a functional bracket 3 commander deck. The decklist on Archidekt uses their custom card feature so I wasn't stuck using the original cards to playtest, switch out cards in the sideboard, etc. If you're interested in printing these off for your own use, I'd recommend using the full resolution images instead of saving each card from Archidekt.
While viewing some of these cards in various resolutions, you may notice a moiré pattern. This is caused by converting an etching with thousands of fine lines into a digital medium. I've tried to avoid this as much as possible, but you'll still notice it on some cards. Once printed from the full-resolution images onto physical cards, this moiré effect should be much less noticeable. I can't confirm that just yet, as my print order has yet to arrive.
There should hopefully be enough cards in the sideboard for you to customize the deck to fit your playstyle. The 99 that I'm currently using in the Archidekt link seems to be playtesting quite well. The deck's strategy is pretty straightforward: Put big enchantments into your graveyard and put them onto the battlefield with your commander's ability.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you notice any typos or mistakes I may have made.

Rearrange your landless library for 3UG
Honestly, this one could be really good in the late-game, when you no longer need lands, but you do need your wincon.
This is basically Vampiric Tutor for your entire deck. Since there are no lands in your deck, you can put your entire deck at the "bottom of your library in any order". This trick also works with [[Goblin Charbelcher]], by the way, and I did make a landless deck a while ago to exploit the trick.
