Maybeboard


Pauper EDH/Commander deck centered around using/abusing the guildmage's abilities, tending toward cheaper creatures, +1/+1 counters, and token creation. Flood the board with buffed creatures, draw cards... Profit!

Pauper Commander is played with an uncommon creature as your commander (instead of a legendary one) and the rest of your deck must be common (Pauper). It's nice because it's super cheap to build and not filled with degenerate combos/board wipes/tutors. No race to create an expensive broken deck that locks your opponents out of the game, unless you really want to. I intentionally left out Aerie Ouphes because it technically infinite combos with the Guildmage (although only to kill all fliers.) Many of the Guildmages are interesting to build with, but look around! There are a lot of interesting uncommon creatures. You'd be surprised how many interesting common cards there are, too, especially when you have reliable access to a specific creature.

Combos:

  • Persist (+1/+1 counter from guildmage cancels with the -1/-1 counter, so they're immortal for a turn)
  • Undying (+1/+1 counter can be eaten at instant speed, so they're immortal if you have enough mana)
  • Token generation (pump all incoming tokens with counters)
  • Evolve (eat any spare +1/+1 counters for some card draw)
  • Proliferate (spread the counter love!)
  • Mana Acceleration (more mana = more counters = more cards)

Cards in the sideboard were considered, but I think the cards I included are better.
