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...

Lost another game with this deck, but it was generally better. I feel like I misplayed this one more than the deck failed me here. After an opponent exiled my Expedition Map to stop me from being able to assemble the Urzatron, I used Chromatic Sphere as a draw engine. I built up a modest...

I built this with 6 copies of Slime Against Humanity and 34 basic Mountains as placeholders for the rest to test the deck. Picked up 9 more copies last night. In my first trial run for the deck, my friend seated opposite me was pondering how I'd try to kill Gamekeeper and whether he could stop...

Played this deck last night. Even after the revisions, I still had no trouble at all ramping into prodigious mana production. I didn't have much else, and one of my opponents countered my Bramble Elemental. I followed it up with Gnarlback Rhino and used Rabid Bite to kill his commander, which...

I had a few Gamekeeper ideas for this format, but going all-in on Slime Against Humanity was my favorite. The premise here is simple: ramp, kill Gamekeeper, and attack with gigantic slimes for the win. Commander: Gamekeeper 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Battlefield Scrounger 1 Conjurer's Bauble 1 Fog 36...

Might as well write another takedown of yet another stupid explanation by Carmen Klomparens... Blatantly pushed Modern Horizons cards flooding the format and wrecking the old metagame, while cool cards that should have been unbanned years ago and were banned in a totally different era languish...

Well, it's been over a decade since the last time I played Undercity Informer in Legacy, but I still have fond memories of that, and All Spells was always a Legacy deck I wanted to keep in my back pocket, so to speak. But WotC can't help themselves: the era of ignoring Legacy completely is long...
