4-1 with Sultai Teachings in #mtgpauper. The deck was a lot of fun. Format is hyper focused on midrange grindfests, terror, spy, and burn. It has decent matchups vs midrange, and spy. Burn it depends on the variant, and terror is likely unfavorable, but winnable. Fun deck overall.

5-0 Trophy in #mtgpauper with Flickerfinity. Deck is super fun, and I have been liking it post bans.

4-1 with Reanimator in #mtglegacy post Entomb bans. Worldly tutor + surveil lands do a good enough impression, that I did not notice much of a difference. I'm not sure the deck is good, but it is pretty fun! Tamiyo and the ring + spy effects will need to be banned at some point.

Happy about the High Tide ban in #mtgpauper. The deck was a problem, despite the fact that I won a lot with it. I think the PFP did an excellent job in giving it a chance with an unban, and then rebanning it when it was deemed too good. Got 6 months of high tide fun, so overall it was a good time.

tinkering with Esper builds of tron. I think mystical teachings might need to get cut to make room for it. Blade + flicker + relic is quite powerful at controlling the board. Maybe this list might be okay.

first 3-0 trophy in this seasons vintage cube! I had a crazy game with giver of runes giving pro colorless + deathgreeter giving double strike + arwin + brisly bill giving +1/+1 counters to get in for exacties off a trample forth token. I Also got to counter coveted jewel with mana tithe.

Another 5-0 Trophy with High Tide in #mtgpauper. 20-0 with this deck. I beat the dreaded mono U fae in this league too. I dunno, I feel like people have just given up on beating this matchup and are praying for bans.

5-0 Trophy with High Tide in #mtgpauper. I believe this should be banned in the next announcement. The high tide unbanning was a good thing to try and I applaud the PFP for it. With that said, it warps boards and I still win. I feel other cards should go with tide but that is a future discussion.

5-0 with my first league back with high tide in #mtgpauper. Opponents had no meaningful interaction and died. Beat Affinity, UR Fae, Jund wildfires, Pinger Burn, and UB Terror. If people have 9 - 10 sb cards for you and still lose, it should be an indication that a deck is a problem maybe.

Still tinkering with Tron in #Mtgpauper. I got a 4-1 after misplaying and losing a match I should have won. Trying out sb Chrysalis. Card's awesome. It has a home moving forward. It dodges 1 mana interaction and is a house vs a lot of decks. It crushed affinity and Terror. It also lowers the curve!

Ran it back for the Trophy! 5-0 with Ardent flicker tron in #Mtgpauper. I got to steal the monarch and initiative, and kill people with my ardents! I did not mind them being weak to krark / munitions when they are awesome at dodging pyro. Low curves and ensuring tron are the key for tron to thrive.

4-1 in #mtgpauper with flicker tron. Could have been a 5-0 but I timed out and did not play fast enough. Ardent feels better than wall at the moment. Makes cards like pyroblast much less significant vs us. Also it continues the theme of lowering the curve, which is needed. Also they can attack.

5-0 Trophy in #mtgpauper with Flicker Tron. Deck performed well. Beat Burn, Burn, UR Terror, Cat Pestilence, and Jund Wildfire. Deck felt solid. My takeaway is that in current pauper, your deck must consist of spells costing 1 - 2 mana or it is bad. Mulldrifter is sadly too expensive. RIP friend.

4-1 with Boros Synth in #mtgppauper. Luxknight Breacher is nuts! feels like a slightly better version of glitter in some ways, and slightly worse in others. Regardless, Boros feels back on the menu, as you can kill quite quickly when needed. Wedding invitation means they are just dead half the time.

4-1 in #mtgpauper with Tron. Goodbye mulldrifter hello 4 flicker 4 relic. 4 flicker was a thing during astro and is good now. I feel like all your cards need to cost 1 or 2 mana in this format, or they are not playable. Pauper is all about low curves these days, and most decks only play 1 - 2 drops.

3 am #mtgpauper league 4-1 with gay fams. Deck's still very based.
July 26, 2025 at 8:18 AM
4-1 in #mtgmodern with lantern control. Deck was fun!

Played some vintage cube and got a trophy! This deck probably had some of the best mana I have ever drafted. All 3 on color fetches, all 3 shocks, all 3 duels, 1 surveil, 2 fetchable splash shocks, and 2 on color fast lands. my mainboard was 38 / 45 cards I drafted, that is a near record for me.

High tide 5-0 trophy in #Mtgpauper. I Beat Madness Burn, Rakdos Burn, Go wide Burn, Terror, and Cawgates. I think moving forward I will shave 1 giga and 1 archaeologist for 2 hydroblast to deal with the pinger strategies. Overall deck felt solid.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

4-1 with Tron in #Mtgpauper. I beat burn, Jund, Boros, UB Fae, and lost to madness burn after drawing 6 lands in a row. 😅 Deck feels good still in the current meta, I think this could have been a 5-0. Format still feels solid overall.

Trophy in vintage cube with @cera-sizzle.bsky.social. Jund with the best sideboard card, time walk! Cast it a total of zero times.
