Also, NYC’s next big tournament is Sept 6th. It would be hype to have some upstate players there if any of y’all can make it! I know our scenes have many miles between, but it’s awesome to see Pauper growing so much in NY. Would love for us to be able to have a USA ‘geddon-size event someday in NY

Hell yeah, nice results!! 👏👏 Were you on Mono Green or Multicolor Elves?
Do y’all have the next big upstate tournament scheduled yet? I’m gonna make it up there for one eventually. Just gotta make a weekend trip out of it.

3-0 at the Manhattan Pauper weekly.
Elves continues to perform. I love this deck and it’s been great into the NYC meta. Also, importantly, green cards = cool cards 💚

3-0d the Manhattan Pauper weekly last Tuesday.
I can remember years of showing up for 4-8 player weeklies…we had 34 for Pauper this time! So huge! Love to see the format growing. Come play if you’re in NYC, just don’t use this terrible sideboard! 😂

Please stand for the pledge!
3-0 at the Brooklyn Pauper Weekly with White Weenie.
Caw Gate hasn’t been working so well lately, so I thought WW was worth trying again. Cool creatures, damage prevention, alpha strikes, what more do you want?

TimberWATCH Elf? In NYC we call him TimberLAND Elf!
Putting the boots on ‘em 🥾💥

3-0 at the Manhattan Pauper weekly. Elves is the only deck I’ve managed to 3-0 with all season. It’s such a great deck. Just gotta keep dodging Pinger Burn 🤞

Earthquake has won me games that I otherwise would have had no way to win. Sometimes you just need a Fireball. Earthquake is better than a second Pyroclasm in the main since it’s still a live card in all matchups

Back-to-back 3-0s in the Pauper weeklies with Elves. (Let’s not talk about what happened in the NYC Pauper Open)

One thing I like about Elves, you pair into your bad matchups and just win anyway. Deck rules.

Thanks!!

It’s real as hell when Lan and friends are piloting it.

Two 6-3s and a 7-2 at Lobstercon, which I think made it one of the best performing decks on win rate.

Lan also won our Win-a-Mox tournament with it last year.

Seems really strong to me

G3. SWB played a Turn 3 Attunement, confirming (in game three) that I’m playing against Lan D Hoath 💀

Have you ever played against three different decks in one round?

Had to Tide / Chain combo him twice to win this one.

I feel like a piloted all my games a little messy, but Tide took the wheel 🌊

G2. I sideboard as if I was playing against Terrageddon.

I got to land an early Tide / Chain combo and SWB scooped quickly.

Bumbling my way through Round 3 vs @swbmtg.bsky.social

G1. Kept a hand I thought would be okay vs 12/12 (which I saw him playing in warm ups...fell for the decoy deck). Saw basic Plains and thought I could get away with a Standstill. Instantly punished by a Treetop Village followed by a Wasteland

Took down the Premodern weekly on UW Tide 🏆

Haven’t 3-0’d a weekly since March. Been getting whooped in the finals every time 🙃
This week I played like a donkey, while pairing into all killers, and still somehow got there. Deck carried, but we take those 🤷🏼‍♂️

Calls come in Vs Goblins and most other go-wide decks. Also in against decks with Swords to Plowshares and sometimes Burn depending on vibes. Most of the time that means cutting some land destruction and maybe Spheres. Basically Call is you switching from midrange/prison to full on midrange

Wooded Foothills, forever 👏

Won the biggest Manhattan Pauper Weekly yet! (20 pl)
Played Ponza mostly to troll Cass who’s been on Tron lately. A good prediction since we ended up playing in the finals. Got to live the dream of Moment’s Peace -> Flaring Pain in Game 3 👏

Switched all my Glee basics to Portal. The deck was looking great and I drew well, can’t ask for more than that!

Our weeklies are streamed at 7pm EST on Tuesdays at twitch.tv/nyc_mtg

Also a portrait deck pic fan, but I’ve been trying to go with a more squat portrait format this year, inspired by mtgdojoera’s pics from Instagram. Liking it so far, though you get a little less card art.

Undefeated all week! This time a 3-0 with Grixis Affinity at the Brooklyn Pauper Weekly.

Oo, I see, Rochester. That’s a long trip for me, but there’s a museum I want to see up there too….maybe sometime this year I’ll make it up there to see the museum and play some pauper

Depends on how far upstate we’re talkin. Lol
