I stand corrected – your observation rpitcher is 98% correct.

For the record…I’ll take 10 Jason Moores vs. one toxic/ (my clan fears reprisal/angering our overlord…lol) E.Hustle any day. Bottom line, Jason angers grinders…(me included) boo hoo/who cares?!…yet he also inspires new pauper blood which is of paramount importance… – Jason, do you want to change this persona? If so, the answer is INCREDIBLY SIMPLE… put up and show up…take it from someone who’s been on rogue for 8 MONTHS…it’s fun!

I share the confusion of deluxeicoff to what this article is about. The introductory passage cited by rpitcher is not helpful. Jason do you want to get a deck to be at the brink of competitiveness in a Daily Event? Or just tinker around and collect some ideas? Because for the second direction, a forum is a much better place!
Both notions can be found in the article and even three decklists of varying degree of Spike-ness. Consider partitioning the article in two sections maybe. Or drop one of the routes of developing, because I can’t really start discussing a deck if I’m not clear on where you want to go here.

If you want to go competitive, please think about the correct meta game. Suggesting a sniper deck that snipes “Burn, Hexproof, Izzet Fiend, and Stompy” in the current meta is irrelevant and misleading.

Aaand: videos are cool

Now now Deluxeicoff. Should we ask, “Are you seriously going to comment on an article you didn’t read?” Jason defines his “Doctor Pauper” title near the start of the article. “Doctor Pauper is an interactive exercise in both deckbuilding and deck tuning. Here we’ll be looking at decks submitted by you, the readers, and searching for ways to “fix” or adjust (and hopefully optimize) them.”

I do agree that experience in a format helps when tendering advice. These articles are not likely to be of great service to strong pauper competitors (such as delixiecoff). Jason has demonstrated, however, his ability to offer some reasonable Magic theory/advice/ideas to less experienced, less serious players. Plus he’s trying to make this an interactive exercise rather than just a guru telling us how it’s done.

Are you seriously going to give advice on a format you rarely compete in?

So what is Doctor Pauper exactly?
