Altoman on Pauper power

I always like to play this combo. Here are some suggestions:

You need the Aura in order to pull off the combo. You need things like Heliod's Pilgrim and/or Commune with the Gods to find it as fast as possible.

You need to keep Midnight Guard alive for a full turn. Protect it with Gods Willing or Vines of Vastwood

This one is personnal, but I like the alternative with Ivy Lane Denizen + Devoted Druid. It works the same and can take opponents off guard.

Thought about Steelfin Whale or Banishing Knack? I've also seen Midnight Guard Battered Golem and Nettle Drone for creatures that untap, and artifact lands helping with cards such as Thoughtcast. If you include red, pauper has some serious ramp with Cleansing Wildfire targeting an indestructible land you control. Just some thoughts.

Cool deck! You might like these: Terrarion, Aura Fracture, Troubled Healer, Viridian Longbow, Battered Golem, Dross Scorpion, Midnight Guard, Origin Spellbomb, Jack-o'-Lantern

Another good finisher for the deck could be Midnight Guard plus Presence of Gond. Both are on budget and neither are terrible. Gond is good on any enchantress to make blockers.

GrimlockVIII: Ah yes, ye ol Midnight Guard, how could I forget? That's actually a good idea, even though infinite combos aren't really my style (usually).

Hmm, even if I didn't enchant it, this deck generates so many creatures it would basically have pseudo-vigilance, making it a decent body. And removal-magnets aren't really the worst thing ever.... Yes, I will try that out. Thanks a lot!

Yo there's an infinite combo you can do with Presence of Gond wherein you equip the aura to Midnight Guard and have him go ham with producing infinite 3/3's if you can keep him alive after his summoning sickness wears off.

griffstick on What is "fair" magic?

I'll go second. Fair magic means to me. Playing the game to win with giving your opponents a chance to stop you from winning. For instance. Say I'm playing a token deck and I assembled a combo with Splinter Twin and Zealous Conscripts , I can win on the same turn I played it. That isn't "fair magic". On the other hand if my combo was Splinter Twin and Midnight Guard , Now I have gone infinite. Now I just need it to go around for one turn and when it comes back to me, I'll be able to win. Playing like this gives your opponents a chance to stop you from winning. This is "fair magic" in my opinion
