This week, Pauper strategist Michael Radzwilla shows off several important matchups for his version of Mono-Green Stompy. Check out the matchup videos and hear Michael’s thoughts about Stompy’s position in the Pauper metagame inside.
Michael makes his video debut on MTGO Academy! This week he takes a version of Pauper Pestilence for a spin in a Pauper DE before sharing some matches against other popular decks in the format.
When the Helvault breaks open, unleashing a horde of ruthless demons and their angelic archenemy Avacyn onto the world of Magic, Pauper will have a total of three demons and six angels available (unless you count the wannabe angel and demon changelings from Lorwyn), all of which are pretty much completely unplayable. But even if Avacyn Restored doesn’t bring Pauper the hopes of unburying a Griselbrand or mastering time, it does bring some new tricks to the table for Pauper.
Michael is back with another superb analysis of a deck and its game plan. Check out what he has to say about Pauper Mono-G Stompy, its strategies against other decks, and what are the key issues and cards in each matchup.
With the Pauper format currently flooded with aggressive creature-based strategies from Goblins to Infect to Stompy, Mike takes a glance at an old Pauper favorite which looks to exploit each of these decks’ common weakness.
