Dimir Control Pilfer is so good in Pauper

[@TheCubicalGuy]

The difference between pilfer and distress is actually insane, I never realized having a generic pip made such a difference.

[@TeasdaleMTG]

@@TheCubicalGuy yeah its crazy!

[@RoyceCCG]

Maybe it's hindsight talking here, but I think you might need Thorn vs. Affinity. It does make you vulnerable to their flyers, but it feels so painful to out-resource them without the persistent card draw.

Why did gardens die in the meta?

[@TeasdaleMTG]

@@NickAlsup no idea, it has made a resurgence recently

[@ethanjohnson2849]

Standard ebb and flow of a healthy format.

I feel that dark ritual was the worst card throughout the entire league. At least you have an easy card to always side out 😂

[@TeasdaleMTG]

@@__TyranT__ yeah it can be, but being able to make mystic or thorn cost "2" was really useful in some spots

[@__TyranT__]

@TeasdaleMTG its likely not worth discarding a card

Clickbait: "Dimir Control Pilfer is so good in Pauper." Proceeds to drop game 1. :)

[@TeasdaleMTG]

@@rayrack5416 i dont understand what you mean? Pilfer was great in this entire league?

[@Kauhmbou]

​@@TeasdaleMTGI took it to mean that you slapped Pilfer into the graveyard in game 1 without using it, but I'm not them. Heh.
