whatcha
>brewin
Aristocrats. It's not very good, I'm still planning out lists.
>hatin
Tron. Dinrova Tron specifically. Boring matches, bad matchup, smug players.
>playin
Kuldotha/Monarchy Boros hybrid.

>tron
One of the only decks I consider ban-worthy in the format. If paper pauper becomes more competitive and more events happen, I seriously hope tron gets a ban. Almost any key piece would be enough. Flicker, Capsize, Rolling Thunder, etc
Got a list for the boros deck?
Evan Ward
It's a bog-standard Kuldotha deck, it just isn't running Battle Screech or Rally the Peasants and has actual Kuldotha Rebirth and Ichor Wellspring in it, as well as some Palace Sentinels in the board.
I haven't put a list up. I could if I hop on Tappedout, but it wouldn't be anything exciting.
And this is gonna be a super unpopular opinion, but I always hated banning around a deck's main piece to get rid of it. If they're going to ban tron and I'm not saying that should or should not, but IF they do, they should just shoot down the Tron lands.

Why do you think? I mean, I'd take either, but it seems much less likely to me that they ban the lands. And, honestly, they're not that broken without ways to abuse the mana, really. I guess with multiple core cards, maybe the lands are the correct target, but can't see WotC doing that
John Ortiz
WotC is on so much cocaine they could do anything at any time, I don't think you can predict what they'll do next apart from print lots of bulk. My point though, is to look at something like standard, where energy started by going Marvel -> Emrakul. So they banned Emrakul. Then it turned into Copycat, so they banned the cat. Then it turned into Marvel -> Ulamog and finally they banned Marvel, then it turned into goodstuff, so they banned the fixing. They didn't solve the problem until the final ban where they shot down the workhorse. Or modern, where it's very clear that they banned Bloodbraid in Jund instead of Deathrite, and ultimately the deck stuck around but just turned into something else.
Ultimately, look at the cards you're suggesting. Those are good cards that live at a reasonable, if quite respectable power level. Rolling Thunder does not seriously deserve a ban. Ghostly Flicker is useless on its own, it's just a combo piece. A non-critical one that can be countered/the target can be bolted in response, etc. The least interactive cards in the deck, by virtue of land hate not existing in pauper (and even then modern has trouble dealing with it) are the tron lands. If something has to go, if the deck needs to die, you'll have to go for the throat.

It's a solid set for Pauper, those wierdos that like the MTGO Brainstorm art finally get it, Counterspell with watermark, Lightning Bolt with Watermark, Ash Barrens, Nettle Sentinel, and then some fun Goblins downshifts as well as Relentless Rats (even if they're going to be terrible). It's no MM17/EMA just yet, but then again, we'll only know the full impact tomorrow when the full spoiler hits. Looks good. I'll be drafting to get my hands on those commons/uncommon upshifts.
Lincoln Garcia
I don't want to give WotC any of my money by buying sealed product, but I still hope it makes Barrens cheaper for everyone. It'd be nice to be able to have a set for every jank deck and not feel like I need to move a playset from one to the other any time I switch decks

your money goes to the retailer/LCS, not Wizards. Wizards only sell their product to distributors and WPN stores.
