Sorry for bragging :-) Its been a long while since I did a 4-0. And with a rogue control deck at that! I did not invent the deck, however. That honor goes to DC_Casanuda and a guy who I brought back from retirement to have a look at pauper. www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/4213124I felt the metagame had loads of cloudposts, which brought out the aggro decks that this deck is built to handle, so I feasted on the anti-cloudposts decks, basically.

Gratz. That's pretty sweet.
I really like the deck by the way. How do you feel about the Trinket Mage package? Would you change anything?

Gratz. That's pretty sweet. I really like the deck by the way. How do you feel about the Trinket Mage package? Would you change anything? I would change it if the metagame changed. Its geared towards beating Stompy and Delver (deck #2 and #3 in the metagame last week in the dailies) while not giving up the Cloudpost matchup ... but if storm became a factor again (Grixis is only #5 and UR Storm - famously labelled a tier #1 deck, is only #8) I would consider switching card between the main deck and SB. Maindecking duress seems very nice in a storm-heavy environment but the card does very little against Stompy and Delver. Also having the Nihil in the SB is a metagame choice, it could replace a trinket in the main deck (probably a capsule) if Tortured Existence ever came back (not even in the top 12 right now). One thing I have learned is that trinket mage needs AT least 6 targets, you never want to play him as a dry gray ogre Three 4-0s and three 3-1s last week, its been crazy

Also, there could be metagame changes where the deck has to be discarded, but right now it has highly favorable matchups against the top 12 decks and the real dangers are not even making getting 3-1s, as they lose to too many of the current top decks

awesome ~ grats. Would love to see the deck featured on pauper to the people (hint.. hint) or maybe have mikey take a run with it on his vids. It must be gaining a little popularity (unless it was you I've faced off against) in the tourney/ casual rooms I've seen it now a couple of times. The augur is the bomb.
