A shop near me does Pauper on Wednesday nights, so I'm really thinking about getting into it because of the low investment. I can buy two tier 1 decks for less than $100 total. Dang! Obviously, the first deck I'm going to build is burn, then probably a Delver variant. Do you know anything about the format? It seems really cool. If you know nothing, go to mtg goldfish pauper metagame. It has a bunch of the meta decks. - I am also slightly considering jumping into Modern. U/R storm would probably be the deck I dive in with. Although my heart belongs to burn, I think U/R would be fun to play and learn it seems to always be relevant in any format. Thoughts? Is there any point to try and play a format where 4x Scalding Tarn will cost me $60 per card / $240 for one set. I mean... that sounds like too high of a barrier to entry to even consider. Storm can function without them, but why would you want to? - What are you nervous about? 1. It was going pretty well for about a week until life happened, and I feel like I'm drowning in every aspect of my life. (That's where the nervousness comes in!) Every time I look at it, it gets bigger and scarier, and I panic and go to something else. Like replying in this topic! 2. Draft mercs would have been much better with two competent admins who didn't decide to buy a house and have work dump on them. I tried to work on some structure here and there but I shouldn't have taken the job. I'm almost definitely not going to play again. I just suck too much. I'd love to try admin-ing again, though, now that I actually own said house. What can I say, I'm better at judging than playing, just like in Magic. 3. Pauper is pretty neat, though I don't know much at all in the format. My buddy Dave plays a bunch of Pauper on MTGO though. I can hook you up -- he's a local MI player just like us. Actually, you'd probably enjoy playing Legacy Roulette with us, too! 4. AFAIK Burn is still a real deck and isn't going anywhere. That said, Storm is actually cheaper if you're willing to run off-color fetches instead of Tarns. It's suboptimal, sure, but not by that much if you're just planning to jam FNMs with it. If you decide you want to go bigger, you can just get Tarns then. IT's not like the other fetches are bad investments. 5. Everything, honestly. I'm just so damn overwhelmed. --- E come vivo?
