  1. Beautifully written sir. This is an excellent primer for beginning pauper players AND experienced pauper players looking to maximize efficiency and build more focused decks.

    It’s easy to overlook the simple things when you’re constantly building and tuning decks. This quote might save someone a lot of frustration…

    “an aggro deck doesn’t need to play as many removal spells as a control deck, because it’s not concerned with prolonging the game and fending off early game assaults. An aggro deck is the early game assault, so the more dedicated it is to curving out, presenting threats, and dealing damage, the more efficient it will tend to be.”

    I love control and occasionally will switch to a beatdown deck for a change of pace, but I have a lot of trouble giving up the “control” part when making said decks. So I usually end up with a weak mid-rangey deck that doesn’t really do anything well, and is completely inconsistent.

    Thanks for this. FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!!!

  3. [Editor’s note: I just removed more confusing ramblings, this time about James Joyce and the apparently rampant persecution of white people by the minority populations of the Magic community. As soon as I can figure out how to do it (since I’ve never had to before), you’re getting the banhammer. Congrats! –PlanetWalls]

  4. @ FascistWalls – I never said any of the kind. I am not surprised you are editing out my entire comment in order to better fabricate lies about what I said.

    I asked Jason not to dabble in racist references. Apparently you take issue with this – I wonder why?

    Also, I am not surprised you cannot figure out yet how to ban. It goes along with the low intelligence level you have already demonstrated that you have – not to mention your integrity in which you feel the need to delete posts and replace them with lies.

    “This time about James Joyce” ? what? You have quite the imagination. lol.

    P.S. I am pretty sure I saw your picture on an advertisement for Autism Speaks. No joke.
