The universal tapper that can go into any deck. \u00a0This is perfectly costed with an above average toughness which makes it that much more appealing. \u00a02 Life is\u00a0menial\u00a0when you can win the game or put it within reach after a perfectly timed attack. \u00a0Also, this can be grabbed with either choice of Remember the Fallen<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This guy is not really raw power but a 1\/1 flier that can help smooth your mana is a must get when you see it. \u00a0All it needs is a good piece of equipment or aura to bring in the real beats. \u00a0Like most every other card on this list, it fits perfectly into any strategy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I see people passing this a lot and I know they dont know how powerful it is for many reasons. \u00a0Having a 4 toughness is very key to winning a lot of long games with the upside to deal 2 damage as well. \u00a0The come in to play ability, putting a -1\/-1 counter on a creature, can take down a lot of pesky x\/1’s with reusable abilities or just shrink an opposing x\/4 guy so yours wins the fight. \u00a0I have played with this guy a lot and paying the 2 life to cast him on turn 4 when you have an\u00a0aggressive\u00a0deck is so worth it. \u00a0Be happy when the guy next to you passes it so you get it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A wonderful one drop that can do more than just kill an opposing creature. \u00a0I will run this out early every time since it puts your opponent on the back foot when they see it. \u00a0I’ve\u00a0had people not cast their bombs because they\u00a0didn’t\u00a0want it to immediately die to the capsule. \u00a0They would say they had a way to deal with the capsule or thye were just waiting for a different threat you could kill. \u00a0Whatever the case, this is what you want, fear in your opponent.<\/p>\n Serrated Arrows<\/a> sees\u00a0consistent\u00a0play in Online Pauper and for good reason. \u00a0This thing can desecrate an army single handedly or take down a giant in a few turns. \u00a0It is a little slow but that never stops me from taking it first as basically a three for one at any point in the game is back breaking for your\u00a0opponent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This guy combos well with a ton of cards and is a flying beater. \u00a0He can work as a narrow Gravedigger<\/a>, getting back a Hexplate Golem<\/a>, Pith Driller<\/a>, or similar. \u00a0My favorite is getting back an Executioner’s Capsule<\/a> or a used up Serrated Arrows<\/a> to demolish your opponent farther into the ground.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The protection is almost irrelevant most of the time but I have seen it get through a team on the other side. \u00a0The best part is this can be fetched up with Trinket Mage<\/a>. \u00a0Its cheap to cast and cheap to equip. \u00a0The only downside is its a one bullet hit so make it count. \u00a0The upside, it can hit a player or a creature.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This card plus any creature will win you games. \u00a0The creature died? \u00a0Re-equip and keep on winning. \u00a0Cheap cost with a cheap equip leaves you with mana to do other things on your turn as well. \u00a0If you draft the infect deck, this might be the best card in it (Rancor<\/a> is #2). \u00a0No Infect but you drafted Fliers? \u00a0Bonesplitter<\/a> loves fliers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So the last Pauper Cube draft I was in, I lost to this card. It was equipped to a\u00a0Seraph of Dawn<\/a> which already had a Trollhide<\/a> on it. \u00a0I would have won if my opponent\u00a0didn’t\u00a0top deck this beating of a card as I had a massive army with a flier that was out racing his life gain. \u00a0Besides the bad beat story, this card is everything you want in a game ender. \u00a0It allows you to sneak in the last few points of damage (or infect) or just protect a creature with an amazing ability.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the beginning I was not picking this as high as I do now. \u00a0After seeing other people play with it and trying it out myself, I can for sure say its worth taking over a lot of stuff. \u00a0The 1 life a turn can make it where you have all the time in world to win or draw your Fireball<\/a> effect. \u00a0It can also get you to the right amount of mana to cast a large fatty. \u00a0Either way be happy I am letting you in on the goods so you can crush next time.<\/p>\n This is the end of my initial 4 part intro into cards to potentialy first pick for Pauper Cube Draft (Creatures<\/a>, Artifacts<\/a>, Sorceries <\/a>and Instants<\/a>). Of course this all based upon personal opinion but having drafted this cube a lot I have seen a lot of things work and some things do not work. I try and remember to ask my opponents after each match what they first picked, first pack to get an idea what they wanted to do or if they even played that card. Hopefully this will give you some insight into my cube or any other pauper cube as all the cards I talked about should easily be in any Pauper or Peasant cube. \u00a0Let me know what other Top 10’s for Pauper Cube you want to see.<\/p>\n Adam Arndt We are back for Round 4 of the Top 10 Pauper Cube Picks and today we have Artifacts. \u00a0This is a great topic as these cards are universal for the most part and can go into any color strategy. \u00a0Read on to see whats in store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8,12],"tags":[63,45,41,32,149,46,61],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=876"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1214,"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876\/revisions\/1214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}PILGRIM’S EYE<\/strong><\/h2>\n
