Dimir Faeries Pauper Deck Tech & Sideboard Guide

Image
Dimir Faeries is one of the oldest decks in Pauper, and while in the past it lost some popularity while Monastery Swiftspear was around, nowadays it is back with a vengeance. Today, I will cover my preferred build, each deck card, and what has worked for me with the deck. Dimir Faeries Pauper Deck List How to Play it Dimir Faeries is a Tempo Pauper deck that relies on cheap creatures to gradually generate a card advantage to disrupt and outvalue your opponents to win you the game eventually. In the next bit, we will discuss the key creatures and their role on the deck. The Creatures While the deck has a few creatures, each has its unique role. In Faerie Seer ’s case, its primary role is to be a cheap flier with an excellent enter-the-battlefield ability to let you manipulate the top of your library. Most of the time, especially with hands with tight mana, it can help you dig further to find lands. It also has some good synergies with other cards like Brainstorm that can help...

Jund Dredge Pauper Deck Tech & Sideboard Guide

Image
​ Table of Contents Pauper Jund Dredge Deck List Jund Dredge Pauper How to Play it Jund Dredge, as its namesake keyword says, is a deck around the Dredge mechanic, which lets you mill cards from the top of your library in exchange for putting the card with it on your hand. The idea behind this is to mill as many creatures as possible to finish things off by reanimating a Lotleth Giant , which damages an opponent based on the number of creatures in your graveyard. In layman's words, that's the idea, but as you can imagine, this deck has to run large quantities of creatures to excel at its intended purpose, and because of this, we will go through each of them to see their role in the graveyard. The Creatures ​ First on the list, we have Satyr Wayfinder and Blanchwood Prowler . Both of them let you put cards into your graveyard when they enter the battlefield, and the upside is that you can put a land into your hand among the cards revealed. ​ ...

Pauper Meta Report - TOP Decks of 2024 so Far

Image
​ Pauper is currently a format dominated by robots, or so it seems. The recent buff for the Azorius Affinity Archetype, Novice Inspector, has proven to be strong in a deck that values the extra body and artifact it provides. Over the last two weeks, the upgraded versions of Affinity have risen in popularity, but the meta still sees the same contenders trying to beat the robots. Let’s take a look at the current Pauper top 10 Archetypes: Boros Synthesizer ​ For a while, Boros has been one of the most popular decks in the Format; however, it's not performing exceptionally well. It does have access to eight copies of Thraben Inspector, but the deck is significantly slower. Against decks like Golgari Gardens, it is destined to lose, and control decks can out-grind them as well. The slight advantage this deck has is access to spot removal and Dust to Dust, two things All that Glitters decks particularly hates, but dedicating too many pieces to one deck usually hurts against the m...

Pauper Meta Report - Pauper is about to Change NOT because of WOE

Image
  Pauper Brews Table of Contents Wilds of Eldraine releases on September 5th Wilds of Eldraine's complete set has finally been revealed, and while it has some cool cards like  Troublemaker Ouphe , it doesn’t seem like it will impact Pauper Heavily. Out of 101 commons, just two or three seem meta-relevant, but as always, time will tell if anyone can break it with these limited tools. That being said, one exciting announcement last week may bring new decks to the format, along with the release of Wilds of Eldranie. Unfinity First Batch on MTGO In an effort to unify the Online and Paper meta, MTGO developers will be adding two commons to the online client, with the hopes of adding more in the near future. The first card is  Embiggen , which I’ve seen mainly on Infect decks in the paper meta. Still, some people are also toying with the idea of a DIY version of  Dark Depths , involving  Wind Zendikon , any indestructible land, and a couple of...
