I'm going insane- Need help
Pauper forum
Posted on Nov. 23, 2013, 8:27 p.m. by flyguy
There is a massive pauper tournament at my local store this Saturday. Since I play budget, this means I can finally have a chance at placing well. So I went insane. I made lots of decks and am going to test them. However, I need help testing them all. Here they are:deck-large:Azorius standard pauperdeck-large:standard pauper sliver
Orzhov extort standard pauper
deck-large:Standard Pauper Dimir Milldeck-large:Selesnya weenie enchantments pauper standarddeck-large:RDW standard pauper super-aggro
And the heavily favored two...
deck-large:standard boros pauperdeck-large:Standard pauper gruul aggro.
Feel free to playtest these against each other or your own brews. Post any results on this page or my profile. Thanks a ton. If you would like, post the results with a deck you want me to upvote (Some incentive).
Thanks again.
Thanks sadiuh. However, it looks like everyone else at my store made that same decision. I might try selesnya or orzhov instead. Thanks again.

If you have lifegain in your selesnya then that should screw up the boros decks. There won't be any true control decks because pauper doesnt allow them (no planeswalkers, sphinx rev, supre verdict) so you wont have to worry about having mid-range / slower creatures.

So would Nylea's Disciple or Solemn Offering (for Pacifism ) help at all? Also, can I just play a lot of extort in orzhov to finish it off?

No you have Centaur Healer , that may be better because you can get it out earlier and start blocking those Rakdos Shred-Freak s and others. Maybe sideboard Solemn Offering - to kill off Ethereal Armor . Extort in pauper can be very strong. Kingpin's Pet is very good in a format where alternative (and better) fliers aren't permitted. Ethereal Armor on a Kingpin's Pet , in pauper is ridiculous.

I build one of these using Rubblebelt Maaka , Slaughterhorn , Skinbrand Goblin , Scorchwalker , and Zhur-Taa Swine . Using Spire Tracer and Gladecover Scout as your main attackers. Then I use Rancor , Giant Growth , and Madcap Skills .

Thanks to everyone who commented. I really appreciate your help. I tried to think about all suggestions and edit as much as I could. I ended up going with orzhov. For results, see there.

Boros seems to be the best one. Selesnya and Orzhov are up there to. I would just go with boros.
