What a set Ikoria is … It looks like it adds so much to the game in terms of mechanics. Hopefully the game stays healthy! The additions concerning Pauper are the permanent ability counters (Lifelink, Menace, etc.) and Mutate. Personally I hope Mutate isn’t as unpleasant as I imagine it to be when played in paper … More Ikoria Pauper Set Review
Theros Beyond Death is a set that doesn’t add much to Pauper, but there are some cards that definitely deserve a mention! Here is a link to the cards mentioned in this review TBD Pauper @ MTGGoldfish. Let’s start: White Daybreak Chimera – Intriguing card, but I don’t see a home for it. The heroic deck … More Theros Beyond Death Pauper Set Review
Emptying my MTGO Account left me without the possibility to play with rules enforced (cough Cockatrice), which means that sometimes (depending on the opponent) games are not fun enough … This fact and the fact that I want to spare some time with friends playing the game together (from one seat) meant that after all … More Pauper Black Aristocrats
Hello dear followers … 🙂 Recently I switched jobs and don’t have the time to play as much Magic as I wish. That said let’s continue with a quick Nats report on the constructed part. Preparation My preparation was a small tourney the week before and a night of testing just before the National qualifiers. … More A Late Nats Report
Whoa! It’s been a while since my last post here. Not that I have stopped brewing – this is in fact my main way of interacting with Magic the Gathering. I just have most of my brews in Cockatrice and Tappedout and haven’t felt the inspiration to post them here. So welcome back and let me … More Modern Zombies
After some initial testing with the new cards from Kaladesh, I purchased both Smuggler’s Copter and Scrapheap Srounger. Both cards are pushed so much that I expect a very powerful artifact hate card in the next set! I have assembled my Zombies list and it seems very powerful especially having the best sideboard cards (which … More Hellbent Aggro
In Kaladesh Wizards have printed five 1 CMC red spells. This excludes Bomat Courier. Of those five three are cantrips. Besides this they printed Cathartic Reunion, which admittedly is mostly Modern playable. All these cantrips together with Insolent Neonate, Expedite and Tormenting Voice form the core of the deck. The Cantrips 4 Insolent Neonate – Some early … More Kaladesh brews – Mono Red Storm
Crew X – Tap any number of creatures you control with total power X or more: This vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.

I have my MTGO account for a couple of years now. I had accumulated pretty large collection, but decided to sell it out. I kept only my Pauper legal cards and plan to play only this format there. The decision was growing in my mind for some time now and when I finally decided to do it, … More My mini MTGO rant and why I quit it
I saw somewhere a deck with Riptide Chimera and Sigil of the Empty Throne. I just saw the caption, so I didn’t know what exactly is in there, but it got me excited! My testing unfortunately showed that the Chimera was too clunky for the semi-competitive Magic that I like … I gradually cut all … More Blossoming Enchantments
