Once again, this deck lost a close game against one of Casey's decks. But this time, it was more on account of shared pressure from both opponents. I took too much damage, and it was a close game that anyone could have potentially taken, but threat assessment, turn order, and topdecking all...

This deck pulled off a major upset in my second game last night. Despite casting numerous draw spells, I stalled out. I had both Impact Tremors and Furious Assault, so the creatures I did cast were able to dish out damage to both opponents, with extra damage pointed at Bryan, as he was playing a...

After three weeks away, I finally got some Pauper EDH games in again. There were only three of us last night, but the games were good. I led with this deck. Although I was off to a slower start than my opponents, they both had to focus on each other somewhat, which meant my midrange threats were...

At this point, I think the number of people I'd trust less to manage a Magic format than Carmen Klomparens has shrunk to zero.I guess the silver lining to this cloud is that once Carmen Klomparens is gone some day, if Legacy still exists, whoever takes over it will be able to safely unban a card...

Yes, there really is a new B&R announcement already. Yes, we just had one like a month ago. Yes, I know. https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/banned-and-restricted-august-10-2026 Standard Badgermole Cub is banned. Stormchaser's Talent is banned. Gran-Gran is banned. Pioneer No...

This is my twelfth Pauper EDH deck. So by now, I hopefully know what I'm doing. I think that this one is probably pretty strong. Elves are good even with this deckbuilding restriction. Commander: 1 Abomination of Llanowar 1 Arbor Elf 1 Corrupted Conviction 1 Costly Plunder 1 Deadly Dispute 1...

I originally planned this list with regular basics, but when the time came to physically slot some basics in, I went with snow-covered basics for flavor. The commander is a frostbeast, after all.

As of this time, there are *zero* decks helmed by Kjeldoran Frostbeast on PDHrec. I'm hoping to correct that deficiency, because this little guy is adorable. Also, I might be addicted to Banding. Send help. Commander: 1 Kjeldoran Frostbeast 1 Alluring Scent 1 Armadillo Cloak 1 Avenging Hunter...

It hadn't even occurred to me that Muxus was never printed in a Modern-legal set. If we're putting it and Goblin Recruiter into MH4, then I'd like to sneak in Food Chain as well. Hell, if they do that, I'll even play Modern.

Played this deck for my final game against Eric and Casey on Wednesday night. I came out swinging and Eric's Xerex deck couldn't protect itself. I was ahead, but then Casey managed to make his Abominable Treefolk a 10/10 and Eric managed to make a huge army of 2/2 knight tokens while bouncing...

Second in a series of three games this Wednesday. This deck did a remarkable job holding off a superior opponent in the form of Eric's deck helmed by Emil, Vastlands Roamer. Both commanders care about differently named lands, but mine gets discount on its ability that lets it kill itself and his...

We only had three players on Wednesday night and got three games in. Each player got to walk away with one win though, so that's cool. First game I played The Drake Equation. Eric tried to simultaneously put pressure on both Casey and myself, so Casey was using his new slivers deck mostly...

Hey, it's another test. Wow. Test! How very testy.

With how much I've used Goblin Recruiter in EDH, I find it even more disappointing that the card is still banned in Legacy. It's so painfully obvious that a lot of the new stuff is easily more overpowered than anything Recruiter could ever accomplish. Free Goblin Recruiter!

The example for this that I really find striking isn't even from Legacy this time, but Pauper. Seeker of Skybreak was part of the game for over 28 years and created zero problems for any format ever. New Marvel set comes out with a blatantly overtuned equipment at common and Seeker immediately...
