Thereâs few things better than taking your opponent down via Black Devotion and hitting them over the head with Gary and friends.
Ferocity of the Hunt adds a new layer and many fun interactions in the deck
Order of the Ebon Hand is Dispatch-proof.
Is there room in the meta for Mono B Control/Devotion?
I really feel like Ferocity has what it takes to be a card in the format.
What do you think?
I want to start collecting and maintaining pauper decks for me and my friends to play. What are two decks that are fun to play against each other where neither has a huge advantage?
Hey how do I make this deck concept work ? So I wanna really cut off my opponents resources and force them to take damage if they do anything basically. I'm not really wanting to be competitive, I'm wanting to just have an interesting deck that makes people go "wtf this shouldn't work , why is it working" . Problem is I can't tell if this deck is working in my basic draw tests . And I'm looking for some feedback, I'm thinking it's missing a clock but that's what brine giant is for to close out the game in the later half
So I'm not really sure what to do with this deck or how to improve it without changing it's core play style and theme
The whole point of Jeskai Ephemerate is to use [[Archaeomancer]] to loop [[Ephemerate]], which them lets you loop all your other spells.
I'm a newbie to the deck - how does it survive against graveyard hate?
I can imagine lots of [[Counterspell]] and [[Annul]] to prevent your opponent from sticking a [[Nihil Spellbomb]]/[[Relic of Progenitus]]/[[Soul-Guide Lantern]], or from resolving a [[Heritage Reclamation]]/[[Thraben Charm]].
But against a [[Faerie Macabre]] or a [[Bojuka Bog]], do you just take it on the chin and resolve to commit less cards to the graveyard in games 2 and 3?
Wanted to get a sense of lgs with Pauper in New York. Tyia!
Recently had this exact match-up in our friend group and afterwards my friend and I were discussing at length who we think is the beatdown in the match-up, to understand sideboarding better. We couldnât really come up with a definitive answer, so Iâm asking the council. Who plays the beatdown role and who plays control here?
I play a more aggressive Wildfire variant, with 4 Gixian and 1 Hydra. Game 1 I was able to stabilize and draw out the game, got very close to winning it despite a momentary 4-47 lifepoint discrepancy - then died to a Kaervekâs Torch on the deciding turn. After that I wasnât sure - do I board in my Ancient Grudges to disrupt the early mana fixing and play beatdown, or do I board in my Weather the Storm and maybe even Breath Weapon and/or Thorn of the Black Rose, take out my Gixians and Hydra and play control?
Hey so I'm working on a dimir stax deck that I posted about early and I'm refining my list down, and I'm looking for the best 1 mana stalling/ survival piece I can play
I'm debating between [[serrated scorpion]] [[hard evidence]] [[campfire]] , and [[sinister possession]]
I'm looking for the quick turn one/ two play that'll slow their beat down so can start putting up my "if you do anything you take damage" enchantments up
After seeing the dimir control list thatâs been floating around and making some impact in the meta, I thought I would want to make a mono black control list that didnât revolve around devotion most of the other lists do.
So this is what Iâve come up with so far. Itâs definitely not perfect and needs some edits before I take it to my locals.
Some areas I want to edit are with the amount of mass removal with cards like [[Drown in Sorrow]], maybe a copy or 2 of [[Suffocating Fumes]].
Also unsure about how many copies of [[Gurmag Angler]] is the right amount. Iâve tried 2 and 3 but Iâm struggling to find the sweet spot. Same with monarch effects. I currently run six but I find that late game they can clog my hand up depending on the board state.
Any advice or general thoughts would be great!
Hereâs the decklist:
So I was looking for some options for Dino Combo using [[Frilled Deathspitter]], and then I ended with an idea I just cannot put the pieces together but, [[Krark-Clan Shaman]], [[Confessor]], [[Marauding Blight-Priest]]. So the idea is to focus on Frilled combo and use the Confessor to gain some life because the is A LOT of discard on the current meta and also you can use artifacts for discard and draw or [[Pursue the Past]] and [[Thrilling Discovery]]. Then if you manage to have the vampire on the board its basically damage each time you gain life and if you bring the Krark with something that give him life-link you will gain a lot of life against decks like fairies or rally and also deal a lot of damage.
[Update]
I ended going on another use and abusing discard to gain life.

If you have any comments ill be more than happy to read
With Modern decks wanting to close out the game between T2 - T4 and Standard decks wanting to close out T4 - T6, is it healthy for Pauper to close out T3 - T5? Have we crept too far or is this good for the format?
It seems a lot of the âfunâ decks have been pushed out of the meta almost entirely for lists that are more grindy and ready to close out games earlier. Rakdos Madness has been pushed for Mono-R Madness, Kuldotha pushed for Rally, Dredge being removed almost entirely, have we entered a new state of the format where brewing is only reserved for new set releases? Iâm curious to know what others feel about the state of the format especially after the Zeta legality announcements.
So as the title says I kinda need a strong Non-Initiative Threat for Bant Ephemerate. My deck on the lower end runs 4x Coiling Oracle 4x Arboreal Grazers and its main threats are [[Goliath Paladin]] and [[Avenging Hunter]] and I have just found that too often opps are grabbing the initiative from me and snowballing from there. Like its hard to recover from Stolen Initiative.
Im facing down a bunch of kinds of Evasion from Bramble Wurms, to fairies, to hydras.
One person suggested my own Hydras since they are a good scaling threat but im wondering if yall don't have other suggestions, maybe even ones that maybe work with [[Ephemerate]] itself.
I am not on a Familiars list, its kinda just an honest midrange-y stompy-y deck.

Idk how this could be playable but a) i am dumb and b) this sub never ceases to amaze me lol

Hi everyone! đ
I'm a beginner MTG player from Brazil, and I'm reaching out to the community for some feedback and playtest help with a budget Boros (Red/White) Pauper deck I put together based on the Avatar: The Last Airbender set (TLA/TLE).
Being on a tight budget, I can't afford to buy cards blindly or spend money recklessly. My main goal right now is to build a fun, functional deck that I can enjoy playing without breaking the bank. This list is the absolute best I could construct given my current budget and a self-imposed restriction of using 100% Avatar-themed cards.
The problem is: I don't physically own the cards yet, nor do I have the collection digitally on MTGO or other platforms to run proper playtests myself before buying.
If anyone has a few minutes to test this list on Untap.in, Cockatrice, Tabletop Simulator, or paper, or simply analyze the mana curve and synergies, I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks a lot in advance to anyone willing to help out a new recruit from Brazil! Any feedback, tips, or budget tweaks are more than welcome. Cheers!
