Update TwoJust finished day two of streaming. I've gotten tons of practice against a very wide selection of decks the past two days and my mono-white deck has done surprisingly well. Overall I'm probably a little less than even. Even against Infect decks, probably negative against delver/faerie, probably negative against elves, everything else is probably even. Current Deck List20x Plains  4x Auriok Glaivemaster  4x Court Homonunculus  (He's done good work, but he's a placeholder until I can get Sunspear Shikari  ) 4x Kitesail Apprentice  (My favorite card currently) 4x Leonin Den-guard  4x Skyhunter Cub  3x Pacifism  3x Arrest  3x Explorer's Scope  4x Bonesplitter  2x Adventuring Gear  2x Spidersilk Net  3x Bone Saw  Thinking about getting Flayer Husk  and Sylvok Lifestaff  . Best of three against a Landfall deck (there's some extra stuff after it too) If you want to watch more of this deck, there are tons of videos on my channel already - twitch.tv/iiremedyiiThere are a few games of my graveyard deck, but I don't think any of them were any good. There's also video from me using my last New Player ticket in a draft and winning both matches 2-0, but I think that's in the middle of a 6 hour video, haha Going to invest in a 'real' deck soon, can't decide which. I have like 1/3 the cards for Infect, but so many people play it... Maybe Delver blue tempo or whatever. Also saw this Mono-black deck that looks fun/good, and I have about half the cards for it. Gotta do some research I guess. EDIT: Went ahead and bought the 3 cards I needed to beef up my deck. Added 3x Flayer Husk (going to test it, not sure if I'll keep), 4x Sylvok Lifestaff , and 4x Sunspear Shikari . Took out the 4x Court Homonunculus , the adventuring gear and the explorer's scope, and moved the nets to my sideboard. The nets are really useful against Delver/Faerie, so I'll keep those in there. Still tweaking my sideboard

iRemedy,
I should be on a little later this afternoon and/or tonight. I added you to my buddies list, so I'll be able to see when you are in-game. I just made my first two pauper decks after playing MTGO for over 3 years...LOL. Talk to you later.
P.S. If anyone else wants to play, let me know. I just play for fun; none of my decks are "tournament quality".
PPS(?) PSS(?) There was a new player who I played with about a month ago...I didn't respond for a while and he deleted me from his buddies list. If you're out there...sorry...please feel free to send me a message, and I'll gladly play.

Update ThreeI've been running Mono-Black Control. 22x Swamp  2x Augur of Skulls  3x Ravenous Rats  3x Chittering Rats  3x Liliana's Specter  3x Phyrexian Rager  2x Okiba-Gang Shinobi  4x Disfigure  3x Sign in Blood  2x Wrench Mind  3x Geth's Verdict  3x Victim of Night  4x Tendrils of Corruption  3x Corrupt  Sideboard
4x Duress  4x Nausea  2x Echoing Decay  1 Geth's Verdict 4x Doom Blade  I've really enjoyed the deck, and I feel like I have a nice balance between removal and discard. I can also feel the huge difference between a "fun deck" and a deck that can actually be competitive. I have a lot of experience against most of the strong meta decks already (I've been playing a lot, perhaps an unhealthy amount) and I've won more than I've lost, and every game I still learn more, or think of new tricks on how to use cards, or even just learning how to use them properly and to their full effect. I've also met more friendly/helpful people through streaming, and any of you who check this thread, thanks again for all your help = ) Also, I'm always open to games, so don't hesitate to add me and send me a challenge (just let me know if you found me from my stream or from this thread). Hm. What else? I think I've only spent like $5 on tix since the last update where I said I bought more tix, and I managed to get this decent deck. Helps that I had a good number of the cards from bulk sale bots early on back when I was building the graveyard deck. Which reminds me, the deck is kind of weak against Graveyard decks. Sometimes I can get them into a position where I get rid of their hand too quickly for them to get set up, or I can force them to discard cards they don't want in their graveyard, but its more coin flippy than some of the other match ups. Also, I believe I'm going to build/learn a Delver/Faerie deck. Not 100% sure, and it'd be a while before I'm ready to build/learn something new so we'll see.

You could sideboard (or even maindeck) some Cremate  for graveyard shenanigans. Bujoka Bog  is obvioulsy good for this, but it does slow you down a bit and (more importantly) it dilutes the swamp matters cards. Otherwise, it looks like a great deck. I assume you are finding that the ninja is pretty much insane. Love that guy.

Yeah, the first day the Ninja did very little, but since then it has been quite handy. Cremate looks like a nice card, I'll consider it. There are also some other cards to consider. I picked up copies of Consume Spirit  and Tragic Slip  , but decided Corrupt would be better than consume, and don't see how to work in tragic slip. Might make a different version of MBC at some point
