Hopefully my decks give you an idea of what you can do with just commons in the new Standard; Blinkdrifter is fairly effective against normal standard decks. If anyone is interested in getting into pauper on MTGO, let me know. I can get you started with some commons.

DBB - I enjoyed the article thoroghly. I love the pauper format and I wish I was able to get more into it -- unfortunately, I just don't get to play as often as I used to.

DBB - another great article. Are you planning anymore additions to the Pauper Chronicles series? I'm keen to know more about this format. The more I spend on 'good' cards, and the more I learn about the interactions in the game, the more I'm keen to play Pauper, or possibly Peasant.

Also, in 'normal' formats there are some generic aggro archetypes like 'Zoo' and 'Gruul Beats' and 'Red Deck Wins'. How has the tribal synergy of Lorwyn block affected the Pauper metagame? Do you see Elf Warrior token generating Elf decks that have any success? (as an example)

Curious, as always.

Cheers,
Amadeus

EDIT: Just re-read your post above. I'm getting started now on MTGO. I've collected a few Lorwyn commons for some pauper tribal fun just for casual play, but my next project in this area is likely to build a version of Blinkdrifter because it appeals to me very much (Hey, my preferred archetype is UW control anyway!).

Morningtide really won't change much (I assume). I could be wrong. You'll be seeing something new from me soon.
