5-0 Trophy With Flicker Tron in #mtgpauper! After several 4-1's it feels nice to get the trophy finally. Beat Rally Burn, Madness Burn, Madness Burn, Mono U Terror, and Gruul Monsters. Not an easy league, but I got lucky when needed and the deck was built to beat faster decks. It went well.

4-1 with Bonders in #mtgpauper. Bonders has felt great in favorable matchups, and horrible in fast / bad matchups. It's a nice card to have, but currently I have found myself using it's ability infrequently as I have to spend mana on other things. Good unban overall, Lists will be in flux.

5-0 Trophy town in #mtgpauper with Flicker Tron! I beat Rally Burn, Madness Burn, Mono White, Jund, and Cycle storm. List has felt really good. I like that ent let's us get into board stalls and turn the corner. Gaining 3 life was very relevant. I also got to dodge red blasts which was huge.

back to back 4-1's with Flicker Tron in #mtgpauper. My philosophy is that we need to play to the board which Ent does well. Also, cards like mulldrifter + mnemonic wall get hosed by pyroblast which is everywhere, so instead play ardent + unfathomable. Deck dodged hate and raced.

Has anyone else noticed mtggoldfish's website going to crap? Random things keep breaking / not working. Things like card price graphs, mtgo vs tabletop filter, not being able to search cards if they are in old sets, and card filters in deck search to name a few.

Trophy with Bant Fams in #mtgpremodern. Deck is fun!

Current list I am jamming in #mtgpremodern for familiars. Deck is quite fowl.

First Trophy with storm in no banlist modern on mtgo. Format is super duper fun. I do not think cruise is optimal, but I just wanted to play cruise + probe in UR storm to remind me of the huey jensen pyromancer's ascension storm combo and feel something.

5-0 in #mtgPreModern with UW fams. I cut the counterspell + swords package, and just went with mana leak + 8 familiars. It made the deck feel much faster, which I think is what the format is moving torwards. Beat Burn, Goblins, UW control, Bant winter orb tempo?, and goblins.

Trophy with Natural Order elves in #mtgPreModern. I really like my take on the archetype. Natural order felt insane, and I am not sure why people do not play it in elves in this format. Kamahl + hermit is very close to craterhoof. Overall the deck just felt super powerful.

5-0 10-0 with UW Familiars in #mtgpremodern. Deck felt solid overall. I think the increased land + familiar count and moving frantic to the board has made the deck more consistent. Feels very good overall.

some 4-1's with UW fams in #mtgPreModern. I added 1 land and 1 familiar and shaved on impulses. I think this helps give us more t4 kills as we have more access to familiars, and 1 more land has meant that mulligans are less painful. Still a lot of room to explore in UW familiars I feel.

5-0 Trophy with UW Familiars in #mtgPremodern! I beat Enchantress, Mono U Stiflenaught, BW Control, Iggy Pop, and Artifact prison combo with sphere / tangle wire / winter orb. This shell felt pretty resiliant / grindy. I like it overall. Still need to tinker with it more, but it feels okay.

4-1 with UW Familiars in #mtgPremodern. Updated the sideboard for the meta now that parallax tide is banned. Burn is quite popular in the leagues and sb chills payed off. I like the 1 of meditate as a card draw tool when you have to combo or you will die. Unsure if I want a disenchant in the sb.

This aged well lol. premodernmagic.com/blog/ban-lis...

Been Jamming even more SUPREME vintage cube. Format is very fun, but things like forces / thoughtseizes / rings / stock up / power / restricted cards drive you in a direction. 3rd for trophy leader. 1881 Limited Ranking, almost getting 1900+ ELO there. Super fun format, glad we get it once a year.

Multiple Trophies in SUPREME vintage cube. I love this format so much. It is the black tar heroin of vintage cube. I have gotten three trophies so far, this was by far the craziest trophy deck. I trophied with UB reanimator, and two mono U tinker shells. Love this format.

first 5-0 ever in #mtgPremodern with UW familiars! I was able to beat 2 UB psychatog, the rock, and 2 UW Replenish. I won games where I had no cost reducers and a lotus vale, and games with no vale and all cost reducers. Deck feels very powerful, happy to get the first trophy with it.

In terms of my Overall feelings on Pre-modern, I think the format is cool, but the land destruction needs to be taken down a notch. I'm not sure that includes banning parallax tide or what, but chronic LD is a bit of a turn off given how bad and unbalanced the format mana is.

4-1 with familiars in pre-modern. I think this list of familiars is pretty good! I went through a ton of different iterations (hence the deck name), and landed on this one. I have been able to beat all of the format pillars, so it might have legs?

we actually life in hell

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.

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.

Trophy with @cera-sizzle.bsky.social in vintage cube! Dimir reanimator!

trophy in vintage cube with @cera-sizzle.bsky.social Boros with a light splash.

5-0 trophy in #mtgpauper with another high tide build. Beat high tide, burn, walls, artifact gardens, and 6 land spy. Deck feels good.

5-0 Trophy with high tide combo in #Mtgpauper! Been really liking the sideboard augurs + archaeologists. They block burn creatures and ninja's from fae, buying a lot of time in our bad matchups. Beat Spy, Tide, Walls, Walls, and Jund Wildfire. Format is very open and fun.
