Pauper Challenge - White Weenie - Getting the Most Out of Thraben Charm

Kirb decided to record the last challenged he played where he played white weenie. Is Thraben Charm the thing the deck needs to make it over the top?

    I use this deck a lot, love to see you play It. I think 20 lands are a lot, the risk to flood Is High. I removed 2 idylliac and Eagles of the North and i run 8 removal. I think the trade Is worth It. I don't play Bugler but i play Inspiring overseer (i can draw win condition and It fly). The rest Is pretty much the same more or less :)

    If that is how you feel the deck needs to play then that's cool. I do suggest adding more removal at the end just to have a chance against walls. My only issue is that most of my losses are due to manascrew. Deck is very mana hungry wanting to hit Battle Screech on curve then cracking a lot of clues to keep the gas flowing. I can't think of the last time I lost because of flood but there were 2 games this challenge where I lost to screw and I am running more lands than you.

    Thank you so much for this list! I'm getting back into pauper after a long hiatus, saw your list and jumped on a league to test it, went 4-1, lost to Mono w Heroic due to a combination of nut draws from the oponent and my innexperience with MTGO, ended up timing out hahahahahaha

    @leonardohenriquecarvalhoes4746 No probs! Deck still feels criminally underrated. Main problems are Walls and Gardens but gardens is almost non existent which is nice. Walls we just need to find room for more removal.

    @@Kirblinxy I think it is underrated because it feels like an old underpowered deck, but Thraben Charm is insane, it helps with a lot of core problems that the deck had before it.

    Nice to see your brews and matches. Love to see you against Bogles (it's one of my favs). You'd better kill all Utopias directly to save your own ;-)

    Yeah if I learnt anything this challenge it is to kill the Bogles Utopia Sprawl to slow them down or just colour screw them.

    Yeah, I'll get back to catcow eventually. A mana hungry deck like that isn't something I want to try in a ponza meta is all.

    A 1/1 flyer for 2 doesn't really do that much though. Also, one of the worst feelings is drawing your second copy of hawk when you are yet to play the first one.

    Thoughts on the W 1/1 flying living weapon and the bestow mentor bear? Both seems like good mana sinks and a good way to push evasive damage through.

  • @Kirblinxy

    The mentor bear doesn't push evasive damage through, I think it is a little too under curve for the current meta. The living weapon is also a little under curve. If thr equip cost was 2 we would be talking. I think it only really jas a chance with some artifact synergy.

    Was pretty handy against UR Control, to kill their creatures at instant speed. Also nice against Ponza as extra copies of Thraben Charm. They should probably just be changed to Journey to Nowhere to help against walls as I don't know what else to cut.

    Given how you played M1 and M2 to mana screw ur OPs, M4G1 i think you lose cause you weren't paying attention to blow up their sprawl and mana screw them turn 2. M4G2 i think you lose again in a similar situation when you let them untap and don't blow up their utopia again post etherial armor (which doesn't do much w/o them having white mana or lands altogether). Hindsight is 20/20 but i think you noticed these lines yourself and you said so. As an ex boggles player they have notoriously horrendous mana with mainly mono forest mana base but half their enchantments being white.

    Yeah, I realise this in the end. In previous decks I am used to having very minimal enchantment hate and you used to need to hit the pay-off enchantments to win. Now that this deck has so many you just need to make them stumble on mana as much as possible at the start and didn't realise this until it was all over. While I played that round bad, really happy with how I recovered in my play in round 6.
