I've talked to the PDH Homebase staff about how they feel on Partial Paris and alternate mulligans and they were generally against it (the consensus on most PDH gray areas are to abide by standard EDH rules) but as a house rule I don't see a problem with an alternate mulligan. What kind of Mulligan were you thinking would improve the format?

Just somthing to make things clearer, thats all! Since I don't play EDH, I have absolutley no idea how the mulligans work :)

cards with Lieutenant should be banned. Loyal Unicorn is busted.

To be fair Loyal Guardian is actually very strong while the others range from fair to meh. Given my experience with the format their abilities only provided one pretty strong commander with the rhino and nothing ban-worthy. The unicorns ability is a very fun, fair deck but has enough fragility that its not really dominating.

Plus it mono white. And mono white struggles with card draw and ramp. There is pretty much non of those in pauper for mono white.

I'd argue that the Loyal Guardian is better strictly because of its color

Zada, Hedron Grinder is way more powerful than the Loyal Unicorn imo

griffstick and Podkomorka. Very good points! Now I need to build a few more decks and see if I can break these cards.

griffstick I like Zada, Hedron Grinder , but I like Gelectrode more. It has blue and does direct damage.

Not sure if the list is done but can Devoted Druid be a commander?

@RNR_Gaming: Yes, it was printed at Uncommon in a Masters set.

Giant Tribal for the win.

Looking for the Compendum rickdangerous?

I find that the appeal to this format is that there aren't any cards on the banlist...yet. Are there any notable cards on the watchlist right now? And what is the guiding principal for the banlist?

@Enral: We are trying to be as hands-off as possible with the ban list in this format. The cards that would be on our radar would be the same as most other formats: cards that warp deck construction, reduce deck/play variation to a singularity, and that are so oppressive that they drive players to stop playing. Cards that are on our radar/requested to be looked at by the community include Peregrine Drake , Rhystic Study , and Pestilence . Personally I don't think any of these cards are overly oppressive and while most Blue decks will run Study and most Black decks will run Pest decks are not built around them and the chances of seeing them in any given game is slim. Drake is ubiquitous with combo in PDH but can be stopped with common removal and grave hate and frankly running Drake in a deck not dedicated to the combo just makes your deck less consistent.

Dont forget Whispersilk Cloak

Yeah and Whispersilk Cloak . Hexproof/shroud is very powerful in commander, as is unlockable, so it slots into basically every Voltron and Stompy deck. Most people are probably not running Artifact removal (aside from a couple equipments and Mana rocks there isn't much worth targeting) so your only real chance to stop it is killing their commander before they equip. Wizards is getting better at printing useful modal removal at common ( Caustic Caterpillar , Return to Nature , Wickerbough Elder ) but it is all Green and running straight Artifact hate has bad returns in PDH so we'll see what the future has in store.

The future of PDH is so promising. I really like the pused uncommon legendary creatures we keep getting too. Mardu could really use some help in that department

Imperious Perfect - first print uncommon, so it is legal as a mono-green pauper commander right?

Imperious Perfect has 5 different printings at uncommon so yes it can be your cmdr

So pdh does not follow pauper's banlist? like is Arcum's Astrolabe legal in pdh?

@bruhdy: Pauper EDH does not follow the Pauper banlist and currently has no banned cards.

Also, are there any colorless pdh commanders? Wondering for Cogwork Assembler and just messing around with it.

Also Ruffigan thank you. I was wondering if that has changed. I am following the PauperEDH Reddit page but couldnt find any updates on the banlist question.

You're welcome. I have had good success with Sandstone Oracle and seen good lists for Lesser Masticore, Burnished Hart, and Sorcerer's Broom. I haven't tried the latter three but the Oracle is surprisingly strong, you just ramp hardcore to get the Oracle out and refill your hand and try to kill it in combat to do it again.

Great to see someone taking this format so seriously, its practically unheard of where I am (East UK) I gather you play this as a multiplayer format? Dont you find the games drag on a bit long, that's why I mainly play it 1v1, well that, and there's only one other person who plays atm xD

We do mostly play multiplayer. When the decks are tuned I think games last 30-45 minutes which is shorter than a lot of commander games. They can drag on if people are playing commanders that don't do much, or if they're not running ways to get damage through.
