Brought this deck out for my final game of last night. It was the only normal four-player pod. I got hit by disruption from every side: countermagic, removal "in response" when I tried stuff, and eventually my options narrowed. A timely Gray Merchant of Asphodel brought my life total back up...

In Barbed Sextant we trust. This deck finally scored a win. I was in a packed pod: five players. I managed to use Shield Sphere and Welding Jar to hold off some early attacks, but one opponent became the archenemy at the table. When I was desperate, I activated Barbed Sextant a bunch and filled...

Last night I played Diseased Marsupial against the same opponents I'd just beaten with my latest deck, Impoverished Memory. And circumstances were very, very good for me. One opponent got stuck and wasn't really a threat. The other kept using damage triggers to wear away at both of us. And he...

So I got four games in tonight, and this deck was the first one piloted. I ended up winning all four games, so it was a good night as far as that goes. As for this deck? It's about what I expected. It can't generally keep up with the higher power found in faster-paced PDH pods, but against more...

I built non-Pauper EDH decks helmed by Quintorius twice. It's a fun commander. So now I'm trying it in this format. My initial list might be a bit rough. We'll have to test it and see. I'm not really comboing off here, but the hope is to have an inexorable flood of spirit tokens joining the...

I participated in a Mystery Booster 2 draft on Saturday. After the event was over, a few of us played some Pauper EDH. Most of my PDH decks are in a BCW long box, which I forgot to bring with me. So I was borrowing deck toward the end of the night and trying them out. Helped a friend test his...

After losing two games with this last week, I finally brought the deck to the table with the full 40 copies of Slime Against Humanity. Despite lousy topdecks (I was able to get Ashnod's Altar, cast Gamekeeper, sac Gamekeeper to the Altar, and cast Battlefield Scrounger (which I'd topdecked). My...

Played this deck again after it sat in a box last week. I was excited, because it's still my favorite of my Pauper EDH decks. Well, despite some strong early plays, such as a first turn Unearth for Street Wraith and an early Mortician Beetle, my opponents kept killing enough of my creatures that...

This was the deck I'd put the most work into recently, and the revisions paid off. Last night, despite overlooking a Suture Priest initially, I set up the Peregrine Drake + Archaeomancer + Displace combo to make blue mana. After two loops, I cast Aether Tradewinds to get Suture Priets off the...

By fate of a die roll, this was the first deck I played last night. I kept an opening hand that could make a lot of mana, but didn't have any payoffs. Well, I didn't draw any. It was the "wrong half of the deck" problem. After falling behind all game, I managed to cast Galvanic Relay for 17...

In the thread for my Pauper EDH deck helmed by Iridescent Drake, I mentioned that this card took me down a rabbit hole. What I have here isn't so much of a question as it is a complaint about WotC's neglect of more formalized rules management for certain awkward, older cards. I'm used to...

Tested this list some more. Anxious to try to slot in Dizzy Spell and Displace before I play it again (should be able to play it again tomorrow). But it feels a lot better. The High Tide lines actually complement the main combo instead of just splitting my focus. Volrath's Curse took me down...

Played this deck twice last night. I was curious to see how well it held up without drawing into Empty the Warrens. The first game went really poorly. I stormed off and cast Galvanic Relay with six copies and the original, but whiffed on that. I kept taking damage and stalled out. In the end, I...
