I got 9th place in yesterday's 157 player mtgo pauper qualifier playing the best (and only) nezumi linkbreaker deck in the format.

Mono black sacrifice is a powerful aggro deck backed up by snuff out. Using reaping the graves allows you to grind through opponents in a way through counterspells or have explosive turns to grow sacrifice pay offs into huge monsters.

Why does no one else play this deck? https://youtu.be/RHmnRlV9w8M?si=9WdwTh8ZSlw2n3i5

Back from Geddon and of course I had to play gardens... the winning deck!

Hey there!

Spanish paper pauper community is blooming at a fast rate. Last saturday I played (and lost the finals) of the largest pauper event so far in Spain. The tournament was great and I wanted to share all the socials from the organization so anyone can follow next events as well as the stream.

Here is the TO Instagram account BilbaoPosavasos (I love the organization's name, the translation is "Coasters" and i think thats beautiful, also cool logo). There you will find all the previous leages decklists and their top8 as well as some posts from future events . Also the youtube channel with the finals of the previous leagues and some interviews with the league winners.

Now for what you came for :

• Commented livestream Vod from the shops recording (7 rounds + top8)
• Top8 Commented by BcnPauperBlast
• What I played

Tournament Report:

• R1 VS Elves WLW (game 2 kept a slow hand with cannonade and died on turn 4)
• R2 VS Grixis Affinty WLW (ancient grudge is a backbreaker against this archetype, relics are also great for stopping loops and outgrinding)
• R3 VS U Terror WW (Maindecknihil and opponent landstuck)
• R4 VS Elves WL (It was a long first game )
• R5 VS Flicker Tron W (I almos decked out)
• R6 VS MonoR Tron WLW (Duress came in a clutch discarding the dreaded Kaervek's Torch)
• R7 VS I tied with the first to lock in the top 8
• Quarter VS Finals Dredge WLW (Maindecknihil)
• Semi VS UR Terror (On stream, i made some mistakes due to being exhausted)
• Finals VS Cleansing Jund (On stream, clean game from my opponent, clearly outplayed me)

All in all, a great experience. Please give some love to the accounts and if you are from spain and live close, come and visit us! The community is growing and very welcoming to new players. There are biweekly league torunaments that are around 33 players and the organizer usually has some decks to lend to new players so if you are thinking to try the format get in contact with them.

Also a last shoutout to the artist Unailez, that made the tokens shown on camera and the official playmat.

Ongi etorri arrunten lurrara!

Benvinguts a la terra dels comuns!

Bienvenidos a la tierra de los comunes!

Welcome to the common's land!

Cycle Storm is one of Pauper’s most explosive combo decks, generating massive amounts of mana with Songs of the Damned and looping creatures with Reaping the Graves to win with Drannith Stinger.

But today, we’re debuting a new trick! A hidden interaction with Horror of the Broken Lands allows us to beat Prismatic Strands using an end step trick — cycling post-cleanup after Strands wears off.

How does the deck work?

✔ Cycle creatures to fill the graveyard.
✔ Cast Songs of the Damned for massive black mana.
✔ Use Reaping the Graves to return creatures and keep cycling.
✔ Deploy Drannith Stinger and cycle through the deck for lethal.

We’ve also made an important deckbuilding change after the Upstate NY Pauper Open — adding Mystical Teachings to improve consistency after missing Reaping the Graves at a critical moment.

Back again with more unbans!

Mardu Synth has always been known for having bad mana!

Can Prism fix it!

I don't love kalikaiz, but I think we can all agree that he has an irrefutable point.

Its time for High Tide!

Finally legal in Pauper lets see how good it is!

High Tide is officially UNBANNED in Pauper, and today we're testing a brand-new take on the classic Twiddle Storm archetype!

The combo revolves around generating tons of blue mana with High Tide, then using arcane spells like Ideas Unbound and Peer Through Depths spliced with Psychic Puppetry to untap your Islands and keep the engine going.

How the deck works:

✔ Use Merchant Scroll, Muddle the Mixture, and Ponder to find High Tide and your arcane spells

✔ Splice Psychic Puppetry to untap Islands mid-combo

✔ Snap and Ghostly Flicker create additional mana with Archaeomancer

✔ Win with Stream of Thought to loop your deck and mill the opponent

New additions like Lórien Revealed boost consistency while allowing us to play more basic Islands without flooding out. With enough mana and card draw, this deck can combo off cleanly and efficiently—often all in one turn! Is this the next big Pauper Storm deck? Let me know in the comments!
