Jason,

Thanks for this article. I’ve been playing the WW deck for a week as a new player and it’s worked very well. I think I paid less than $5 and it’s been very competitive. The biggest challenges have been post (of course) and aggro burn decks. To that end, I am thinking of sideboarding Hallow, as it might be able to buy me an extra turn or two vs them. I may also remove a Kor Sanctifier, as often I don’t have 4 lands to kick it or my opponent is not playing enchantments/artifacts.

Post is killer. I have drawn a nut hand and still lost…

Sfen – If Post is your your top priority (I’m guessing you mean Izzet Post), then my understanding is that Mono Green Stompy will be your best bet out of those options. Good luck with your endeavor!

systemic – Glad you like the article! There is a lot going on, and a lot of information available. It’s a good time to be a fan of Pauper! Please check out some of my other content sometime.

Thank you so much for this breakdown. I used to be an avid pauper player. I stopped when I found that 99% of my decks dedicated a large portion of sideboard power to storm matchups. With the recen bannings, I have been wondering what the format looks like.

This article summed up a lot of my questions. I’m sure the format is still somewhat untapped and there are deeper lines of strategy, but this is great. Thanks again.

Ack, I should explain that I’m a writer by trade, so you’ll have to pardon my obscenely long comments.
