Greetings all.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I just want to say that I really enjoy the boards here and the information at mtgostrat.
I have been playing Mtg since elementary school when Channelball came about and you could buy beta boosters in the stores for retail price. (Yeah, I'm old). After playing vintage for a while the cardboard made its way in to a more useful currency as family and bills took precedence. Left with a budget and still wanting to play I turned towards Peasant and Pauper. These were more than competitive enough for my kitchen table meta. Eventually moving away to where there is no MtG scene, the rest got sold as well.
Keeping up with new sets and getting my MtG fix by playing AI through a PSP homebrew program I have been experimenting and playing some good brews but now that my children are getting old enough to understand the concepts of the game I'm wanting to get in to some cardboard and teach them how to play.
There seems to be a great spirit of camaraderie here so I figured that I would join in.

In Game Name: Ghibli Real Name Joseph New pauper player and a new magic player in general. I played off and on since I was a kid but never really took it very seriously and consequently never really understood the game or enjoyed it to its full potential. Now that I have started playing MTGO, and pauper in particular, I am learning the game all over and thoroughly enjoying myself. Eventually I might even build a little skill at it... As for about me, I live in Alaska with my wife and son, and work as a financial analyst at a local hospital. Love the outdoors, games of all kinds and currently I am working on turning an old school bus into an RV as a fun summer project. I look forward to meeting and playing with you guys! Cheers!

The name is Adam. I have played magic for a while now, but standard was getting to the point of ridiculousness. So i started playing pauper and I now have four decks to play with. At the moment looking for anyone that plays paper around the Fargo, ND area and I am looking forward to play with you all.

I definitely won't be able to justify my existence, but my name is Rich and I play a ton of pauper - just found out about you guys, can't wait to share some of my brews.
Probably should have said this, I don't play on MTGO.. almost strictly paper. No time with law school, work, etc..

hi there, mayandisaster here. used to play magic a while ago and came back to it recently (about the time RTR was released). been playing catch-up for a while, and found myself catching the pauper bug after seeing the great content on mtgostrat.
i'd like to start getting serious about pauper and start entering more dailies, but can't stop the urges to make silly brews.

Hiya, I just wanted to introduce myself. I found this site from the podcast and was curious about the brew of the month, so, here I am.

Username: celestialTyrant Name: Jeremy I've been playing Magic since around Alliances, but really got into it in Mirage. My grandfather got me into the game. He plays a lot of D&D, and when I wanted to join a game at age 8 he though maybe I should start smaller. he bought me a few Forgotten Realms novels, and a few M:tG novels. I began playing with the cards and fell in love. These days I play Legacy, Classic Pauper, Comander, and I draft like a madman. Generally I draft 2-3 times a day.
I'm definitely a Spike, playing Dredge in Legacy, and Mono-G 8post in Pauper, and in Commander I run decks like Azami, Rakdos, Lord of Riots, and I'm building a Vorinclex Stax deck. Even more specifically, I'm a nuts and bolts Spike. Even if I lose a game, I'm happy as long as I know I played the tightest, made the best decisions, and minimized my losses. Sometimes you just lose, but that doesn't mean you can't play a perfect game.
As I mentioned, I draft a lot, so Cube is a thing for me. I run a pauper cube, because I feel like it forces tight play by removing accidental blow-outs by bombs. There's no luck, just skill.
I'm a devotee of The Mana Pool, Limited Resources, and Pauper to the People, as well as Monday Night Magic and JudgeCast.
You can find me on various forums and Twitter, all under the handle celestialTyrant.
See you in the forums!

Hey people, figured I would finally make an account here and stop lurking. I play pauper (UB Trinket and Wee Fiend) and modern (UR Delver) on MtGO and EDH and legacy in paper and am always keen to try and get better at this game . Hope to have some fun battles with you all.
