Played this deck for my final game last night. My opponents had both expressed some statement about bringing the power level down after the previous game, but the lie detector revealed those statements to be lies. I struggled to protect myself as they took freakishly long turns and ramped out...

After the other players in my first pod went home, I jumped over to a table where two more players were also leaving and joined, grabbing this deck because I hadn't played it in a while. One of my opponents seriously pulled his commander, which I never asked about or bothered to look for, from...

I managed to recover from an initial manascrew, use Vedalken Plotter to get a swamp, and used Dream Thrush and Grixis Illusionist to achieve full domain for Nael before I died. One problem was that I actually managed to get some blockers, fog effects, and other combat-focused protection. But my...

I was rusty coming back to this deck. I think I should have tried to set up an infinite combo, as I'd drawn into both Goblin Matron and Boggart Harbinger early on. But I just didn't go for it, and my puny goblins were far to small to deal with the huge beaters that my opponents ramped into or...

I wasn't even going to play this deck last night because I remembered it being kinda overpowered. But the opponent who slaughtered me in the first game warned against my idea of playing the Grub deck. So I pulled this deck out and dominated the table. First turn Mishra's Workshop into Chief of...

I played this deck again for the first time in months. I was rather outgunned and had a slow start. So when one of my opponents popped off with a long turn that also presented Soul-Guide Lantern as a threat to my graveyard before I'd even activated Lluwen a single time, I conceded. Boring.

Even though the long five-player game with Scrappy Paupers took forever and we didn't really have time for another game, four of us stuck around after midnight for one last game. I went back to this deck, and it did, well, exactly what it was meant to do. I opened the game with Dark Ritual into...

Played this deck in an epic five-player game last night over the course of about four hours. Initially, I played a lot of do-nothing artifacts and couldn't get much of a board state going. Some of my potential blockers were being picked off and I was stuck on only three lands for far too long...

I got to play this deck for the first time last night, but I had a mediocre start with no black mana and Casey's Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos deck picked me off along with the other two opponents at the table. So, not much to say for this one yet.

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...
