@Slushygod123 @fireshoes It’s really just because it’s a cheaper Ninja; I think the lower Ninjutsu cost could be relevant in this type of deck—as could its casting cost, which might occasionally be an option.

@samubarff @fireshoes Is there a reason to be on 4 circuit 3 Deep hours? Is it solely bc of the 1 ninjitsu cost over 2?

Testing this Dimir Tempo version; 2x 5-0/ 2-3/ 4-1. Ok list, but sometimes tap lands can hinder the tempo plan's true effectiveness. I prefer the Augur version for its versatility, playing better a control game, something I view as more valuable in current metagame. @fireshoes

Looking for a fun deck to play, 1st and 2nd Trophy with @samubarff's Dimir Faeries and Jeskai Wildfireless. Both have engaging gameplay, let’s see what to pack for Paupergeddon... #MTGO #MTG #pauper @Over_Team_Pr @fireshoes

@hiimkeibous @fireshoes I have to confess my love for Sewer-Veillance and how hard it is for me to swap it out for Relic, lol. But we're trying this 2-Bojuka Bog approach—it could be really solid against that. Who knows, maybe +1 Fumes if these decks keep seeing a lot of play?!

@samubarff @fireshoes Maybe my mainboard relic idea is getting more points...

Top 8 🏅 on Today Pauper Showcase (250 Players). Another solid result with my Dimir Faeries list! 6 out of 10 decks I faced were using Sneaky Snacker, did they missed the target on the ban? 🤔 Sideguide and Video Content Available on patreon.com/barffmtg 💫 @fireshoes

@celobee_ @LeshiraYoshi @fireshoes tmj Marcelão!

@samubarff @LeshiraYoshi @fireshoes Monstro!

@paolo_donfra @fireshoes Thank you Walker 🙏

@samubarff @fireshoes You're unstoppable this year. Congrats!

I Split the Final on Today Pauper Challenge, playing my traditional Dimir Faeries, the list responds very well to the metagame! ✨Updated Sideguide and lots of Explanatory Video Content (in English) are Available at patreon.com/barffmtg✨ @fireshoes

@Marcelo_RChaves @fireshoes @luigimont3 Só ganha as que joga!

3rd Trophy of the season. This time with Dimir Fae. shoutout to barff's sideguide @samubarff @fireshoes @luigimont3 #mtg #pauper

One more Dimir Faeries🏆 (On Live Stream - twitch.tv/samubarff), this time using Okiba-Gang on the maindeck, testing if can be relevant in this combo decks metagame. In addition, bringing back Campfire to help against Aggro decks. I'll continue with the tests! @fireshoes

@GavinVerhey I would understand a ban on Combo + SS, But this could be a problem if Jund/Affo remain untouched, a weakened Redness, and artifact based decks dominating. My opinion is: Take action by looking at the entire metagame and not just at what appears to be the problem at this moment!

Hawkeye's Bow + Seeker of Skybreak combo has now won all three Magic Online Pauper challenges this week. For those who have played with/against it so far - any thoughts? #wotcstaff

Episode 45 of the "How To Play" Series is now Available at patreon.com/barffmtg. This time, I show you an Explanatory Gameplay vs the new Naya Bow Combo. Btw, it’s a match that was part of my 5-0 run yesterday. @fireshoes #mtgpauper

Dimir Faeries🏆, trying an approach with more Ninjas and spot removal to try better combat the volume of Bow Combo. I’m not sure if it's the best list for this metagame; I need to test more. 💫I'll soon post a Match Explained vs Bow Combo on patreon.com/barffmtg @fireshoes

@Omnissiah_P @PauperLads @fireshoes Personally, I'm a huge Augur fanboy, so if I end up running 4 Ninjas, there's a good chance I'll want to run 4 Augurs too, lol.

@samubarff @PauperLads @fireshoes I'm nowhere near as experienced as you of course but what has happened in my few games with the deck was that I almost never saw a ninja taking into account we run 3/4 and the augur can't pick them up either. But it does make sense since it's a good early blocker/attacker

@btaranti Pois é Brunão, faz parte demais, haha

@samubarff Quem nunca?

Sometimes, all you have is nothing, lol

@Omnissiah_P @PauperLads @fireshoes I don't think it's a good idea to cut a creature that enables ninjutsu to add another Ninja; that would likely increase the number of times I end up with Ninjas stuck in my hand.

@samubarff @PauperLads @fireshoes is the 4th augur of bolas really worth it over a 2nd moon circuit hacker? or is it difficult to get consistent card draw just by hitting face?

💫2 More games from my winning run in the last Pauper Showcase, playing Dimir Faeries—with commentary in English—are now Available at patreon.com/barffmtg. There are already 9 matches Available, All covered in English explanatory videos! #mtgpauper

@luca_bozzato @fireshoes As for Mortuary Mire, I don't see the need; I think the Bojuka plus bounce package gives us effective gravey control. If we were to run another utility land that enters tapped, it would likely have to replace one Bojuka, and I don't think that’s a good trade for the current meta.

@samubarff @fireshoes No brainstorm? 🤔 Also probably needs a mortuary mire somewhere? What do you think?

If you're a guy with few friends, I’ve got a list that might be fun for you: Dimir No Friends, I tested it in leagues and got a 5-0🏆. I’m not sure if it’s competitive, but if you enjoy the playstyle, you should give it a try at your locals or in a Pauper League! @fireshoes
