In this deckbuilding challenge the only rule is that your deck MUST contain a full playset of Fungal Colossus. What is the most efficient, most powerful deck you can craft around this card?
Hey Pauper enjoyers,
I've been wanting to buy Utrom Monitors on MTGO, but have been waiting for the prices to drop further. So far, they've only gone up if anything - do we think they will eventually go down in price, or is it looking pretty stable at this price?
Thanks!
Thanks to the YouTube Channel of the Bristol Pauper League, and in particular to one of their players ( Jack Staveacre), I've discovered this Izzet combo deck: https://mtgdecks.net/Pauper/izzet-storm-decklist-by-jack-staveacre-3053197
The goal of the deck is simple: have [[Goblin Electromancer]] on the board to discount all of your spells, play as much Arcane spells as possible to fill your GY, and then hit your opponent with a lethal [[Ire of Kaminari]].
As for the sideboard, which the decklist I've linked doesn't include since it was played in a bo1 tournament, I would go for something like this:
4 [[Pyroblast]]
3 [[Negate]]
3 [[Hydroblast]]
2 [[Cast into the Fire]]
2 [[Tectonic Hazard]]
1 [[Annul]]
What do you guys think of this deck? Could it be viable to play in a local LGS?
I saw an Izzet Prowess brew on YouTube, and ported the list to moxfield:
https://moxfield.com/decks/2GdDaVjM20WADkQEHAeaWw
The objective of the video was to only use niche or underused cards, purposefully avoiding the pauper staples, but I wanted to see what this deck could be with those rules abolished.
How would you improve this prowess deck?
Pretty much what the title says! I want to run this basic Mono White Heroic in my local pauper league, but I got curious about making it a little less plain (pun intended).
Do y’all have any ideas for this experiment?
Hey all, long-time MTG player who used to play Pauper back in 2018/2019 (I stopped right around Covid-era for no particular reason) and I decided to dip my toes back in to the format! I love data and thought I would get a "vibe check" from the Pauper community as a fun way to connect with people again as I make my return to the format.
To that end, I made a Google Survey that asks some questions about your experience with the format + magic as a whole, your favorite decks, and a handful of other topics along those lines. It's only 18 questions long and takes 5-10 minutes to complete. I'd love to hear from you all in here and report back in a week or so with the results, so if you don't mind taking some time out of your day and answering these questions that would be awesome! 😄

Hi guys, fairly new to pauper mtg.
i found this decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/ZCAtEiBEy0ylI0guOUNYjw
This I found interesting and I would like to go at it from this angle,
and I really wanna play with Page, but the lotus petals kinda screw me over.
any sensible replacements? Maybe a spirit guide or a blood pet that can do the trick?would love some recommendations thanks in advance!
Hello Paupers!
Disclaimer: Have started playing Pauper not too long ago, so haven't played against all meta decks yet and this is my first actual brew.
Firstly, i really fell in love with the concept of [[Impact Tremors]] effects together with spawn Tokens after seeing Will Lupica perform well with it at Paupergenesis.
I wanted to know more about it and luckily Princes of Pauper and Will did an extensive podcast about the deck.
One of the main talking points was cutting [[Lightning Bolt]] to make the deck more sinergy focused. However, they both couldn't really think of any creatures or other cards they really wanted to add.
Now there's a few options for token payoffs to be found, but IMO nothing as strong as [[Mirkwood Bats]]. It gives us so much extra reach and it being a flying creature with 3 toughness is relevant too. Plus more sideboard depth. The obvious downside is having to play a suboptimal landbase.
Notable inclusions besides Mirkwood Bats:
[[Brood Birthing]] 2 copies of this card, used for lategame payoffs if you have multiple Tremors type effects in play. Big burst of damage + a ritual in 1 card
[[Crop Rotation]] This card fixes mana, can potentially exile gravesyards at instant speed with bojuka, it can make a token fetching for Garden, or deal 1 damage with a tapland
I would love to hear your opinion about this deck and hear any considerations for changes!

Enjoy!
[[Lakeshore Apothecary]] is a really strong card imo, and i like card like [[Enter the Enigma]] in ann artifact shell do you think that could work? i wanna go more in an evasion varsion of the deck i'm open to suggestion.

Is this really a pinnacle kill ship? Can anything in pauper survive its trigger of 10 dmg? [[pinnacle kill ship]]
I've been working on this brew for a minute and would love some thoughts. The idea is to combine the arbor elf package with Sunscape Familiar to enable ramp and cast some cool big stuff pretty early.
I've tried to include a few cards that can be cast early if needed, but are great as top end bombs (Boulderbranch and Mirrorshell).
I know this won't rise to a truly competitive deck, but I'd love if I could optimize the mana and early game to at least be capable of playing fun 40% WR style matchups against my friends more meta decks. Any input or suggestions greatly appreciated, though obviously I'll want to stick within the main deck theme.
The one card I want to include, but need to figure out what to cut is Snap. It feels like a must include if I'm running ramped lands and Sunscape. Plus the early interaction should be helpful.
An MTGO grinder has been getting results with a deck with an 80 card main. This breaks with the usual logic behind 60 card decks.
They seem to be getting some decent challenge results. We don’t see all the bad leagues and there aren’t many trophies.
Is this sneakily good? What’s the deal?
I'm a Pauper noob. I understood the strength of many cards that aren't intuitive thanks to video, community (great community guys) and such. But something that still evades me is [[Makeshift Munitions]]. I'm not saying that I think it's a bad card, I'm just not seeing why is that good that you find it around so often in decklists, even maindecked here and there. Sure, never a playset, maybe a copy, but it's clear to me why you would want a single copy of [[Pulse of Murasa]] in Jeskai Wildfire. MM in the decks that run it? Not so clear. And again, not in a "Under my evaluation this shouldn't be so appreciated" way, more in a "I'm clearly missing something, tell me what's that something" way.
Edit: I won't be answering every single comment as it would be "Thank you!" to all (upvoted you all at least), but here it is, thank you a lot guys for all the comments and explanations, once again wonderful sub
The event was fully sold out and had $2,000 of store credit in prizes. It fully filled the first room (pictured) and had to spill into a second. Mox Boarding House is owned by Cardkingdom, and this is the second big event they’ve done like this at the Portland location. Hoping for a third!
Hey All,
I discovered this card -golem foundry - and i love the idea of making a deck with it in pauper!
I was thinking a deck that let me play/draw ton of cards ad drop a lot of artefacts and generate ton of golems (maybe affinity mechanic?).
Any of you has any suggestion? I saw Tron Altar, but i don’t like the combo idea (in general).
Thanks a lot!
What is my opponents main win con
If I could remove a card from their deck what would it be
Which sideboard cards do I have that interfere with their win con
Who's the aggressor. Who can play passively
Based on the colors they're playing what sideboard cards do they have against me. How can I reduce their effects.
I’ve been rotating a few different strategies lately and keep drifting back to the same one just because it feels good to pilot. Curious what decks other people keep returning to for fun, even if something else is currently better positioned.
Today we have 2 spicy feature matches for you - kicking it off with Lewis on Mono-White Heroic vs Heidi on Temur Landfall! These matches were played Best-Of-One so we're bringing more videos than usual this week!
We've also started channel memberships - you can support the channel and league from only £0.99 a month, no obligation to do so of course! We appreciate your views and kind comments regardless!
[[Remove Enchantments]] does a lot of bouncing and is a wall of text but destroys all Auras attached to attacking creatures your opponents control so if I blocked a [[Llanowar Elves]] enchanted by a [[Nyxborn Hydra]] with a 2/2 then cast Remove Enchantments, would it destroy any Nyxborn Hydra on their attacking creatures and then have the Elf die because it no longer has the pump from the aura? Seems like a good way to get around Bestow.
