Elusive Spellfist

Creature — Human Monk

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, Elusive Spellfist gets +1/+0 until end of turn and can't be blocked this turn.

Very nice and straight forward! Sometimes a cheeseburger is better than a steak. +1(/+1) from me

Cards you might have not looked at Elusive Spellfist Quandrix Pledgemage. Not exactly Prowess tho. Probably better to leave things as they are, just typing anything into my keyboard, really xD

Cheers

Exogino Oh haha tappedout is lying to me saying Mystic Sanctuary is legal in pauper. Easy fix, thanks for pointing it out :) Izzet Charm is in the side currently sitting in the sideboard for now. Haven't actually gotten to test this deck much so I'm unsure of the card. Elusive Spellfist seems pretty decent, though I'm not sure if I can fit it in. Sword Coast Serpent might be a pretty good sideboard option against control maybe? 7 mana is probably too much for the deck though, since im only running 21 lands and the deck curves out at 4 at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions!

Mystic Sanctuary is banned in pauper. Anyway what do you think about: Elusive Spellfist as bitter - i see many spells and it can hit pretty hard each turn.

i suggest also Izzet Charm in this deck, because it can be used as removal, counter or draw card, and could be pretty useful.

last my suggestion is Sword Coast Serpent it could be played as removal with adventure effect, and as closure in end game triggering "can't be blocked" effect in a 2 in 1 card.

let me know your ideas.

"Strictly worse" means every aspect of a card is worse than every aspect of another card (excluding aspects that are the exact same). Elusive Spellfist is not a strictly worse Nettle Drone because, to give two of many other reasons, a Human is not always worse than an Eldrazi, and blue is not always worse than red.

The biggest issue is that you lack removal. You have plenty of resource denial. Narset, Parter of Veils could help make it work. You definitely need to run Vapor Snag and maybe play Callous Dismissal . You probably have to play Tempest Djinn and Delver of Secrets  Flip. I also like Elusive Spellfist . You MUST play Serum Visions and maybe Opt as digging through your deck is important.

Thinking about testing making a 2/2 split between Augur of Bolas and Elusive Spellfist rather than the 4 copies of Augur of Bolas to give us some more aggressive offensive threats. Thoughts?

Have you considered Elusive Spellfist

I play mostly "for fun" decks, but some of them have turned out to be pretty effective. At the very least I have a folder full of funky homebrews that might inspire you here. They're all decks that I have built and maintain in paper.

Last time I looked, I believe Astral Steel was the only truly aggressive Storm spell left unbanned in pauper ( Grapeshot and Empty the Warrens are both banned). However if you enchant an Elusive Spellfist with it, it could work. I did something a bit more experimental along those lines here: Gluten-Free Cheerios.

Beyond that, if you just want interesting ideas, I like building around Bloodbriar (so does my friend eyes2sky), but you seem to like Control more. So, here are some almost-shameless plugs under the guise of "discussion." =P

I've been tinkering on and off with several ideas: a sort "Processor" style hand-hate UB deck, Jace's Groundhog Day; an Aikido (steal-control) deck, Steven Seagal, C**kpuncher; and a degenerate land destruction deck, USS Deathstar (NCC-1701-FU). I've also always wanted to build a good creatureless pauper deck. And lastly, I just made Grixis "ping" deck that might interest you also, U.B.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Pings.

There's also stuff like UR blitz (Flying Purple Pauper Eater) that you might find fun, but I don't know if people are still playing it competitively or not.

Sorry to barrage you with links, but I hope some of that helps at least a little. Happy brewing! I hope you find pauper as fun as I do!
