Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on July 31, 2014, 12:19 p.m. by 241543903
Helo guys, welcome at the not so new EDH made after the moderate sucess of Gods of Theros challenge. This challenge's gimmick is Pauper EDH.
RULES:
- Submit Pauper EDH legal deck in this thread (What is it?)
- No Sideboards. If you have some card that interacts with it, you are allowed to have 5 cards.
Deadline is August 15, but it might be expanded if someone needs to. After deadline, I will make Swiss bracket and start performind matches until the winner will be revealed.
BANLIST:
You can't have those cards as a commander:
HAVE FUN!
Pauper means common deck and common/uncommon commander. Those uncommons are banned as a commander as they are broken and unfun in this format.

Based on the link he provided, Uncommon Commander, 99 Commons.
All of my PDH decks were built with multiplayer in mind. Need to make adjustments before submitting.

Oh boy, I was already working on one of these. Just need to finish it.

I meant cards like Golden Wish that pick card outside the deck and put it into play/hand. I doubt if there are any common cards like this, but a typed that to prevent later possible inconvenience.
July 31, 2014 2:37 p.m.
Are we using the rule where if a card has once been printed at common it counts as a common. Elvish Aberration for example - says its uncommon, but has previously been common in some sets!
July 31, 2014 3:28 p.m.
According to the page I provided: Yes. If something somewere were a common: legal.

Thanks for first submission. Unfortunately for your adversaries, 10 poison counters is enough to kill.

@ChiefBell - You're the worst.
Jk. Its all a part of the game, and if I didn't have answers, well, I'd be a bad player.

Also, can the next challenge be mythic rares only? That would be cool!
August 7, 2014 4:36 a.m.
@biggestmtgnerd: Thanks for submission but I don't think it would be fun tu be honest, it would be too restricting. If you are sure it will be fun though, I can add it to the next voting, but I am in doubt that it will be picked. Thanks for giving ideas though!

There are currently 438 mythic rares, of which only a few are banned, and 115 legal mythic rare commanders. I'm sure it will be interesting.
August 7, 2014 11:11 p.m.
BTW I've realized that biggestmtgnerd gave 2 submissions. Which of them should I use?
August 8, 2014 8:39 a.m.
biggestmtgnerd says... #30
Why not both? If you have to use only one, use the triton shorestalker one. It's more efficient, and besides, my auger of bolas one seems pretty unfun.
I'm so disappointed that countryside crusher is a rare, not an uncommon. Otherwise I would just do 1 fatal frenzy and 98 mountains.

Alright, I got something together. EDH is still pretty new to me, so here goes:

Hello! As you see, today is the deadline. However, I can't use the PC till the Sunday (17.08), so deadline is a bit expanded till. But no worries, blood will be spilled.

I am eager to see the results of this challenge. Everything proceeding OK? Do you some help with anything?

Hello! My life was pretty screwed up since that, causing that biggest reason I literally FORGOT about this challenge. Fortunately, I've decided to revive it (bigg shoutout for NorthernRaven here!). So, I'm finally tapping 4 plains to give a Breath of Life into it, enjoy the brackets!

Excellent... I even playtested against ChiefBell's deck.
Scytec says... #2
Is this Pauper Commander or Peasant Commander? If it is Pauper, then all of those cards are illegal anyway because they are not Commons...so what restrictions will you set based on number of uncommons you can have in the deck? Is it Commons only? Or commons and Uncommons?
