Also put in Goblin Medics as a removal engine (it can fire multiple times a turn with Quirion Ranger), and source of direct damage. And also one copy of Sunshot Militia as a more powerful direct damage option against fog locks, that can take advantage of my wide board.
 Goblin Medics {2}{R}

Creature — Goblin Shaman

Whenever this creature becomes tapped, it deals 1 damage to any target.

Dorik was unshakably confident, having learned medicine from the finest butcher shops in Yotia.
1/1

Illustrated by Caio Monteiro  Sunshot Militia {1}{R}

Creature — Human Soldier

Tap two untapped artifacts and/or creatures you control: This creature deals 1 damage to each opponent. Activate only as a sorcery.

As the Legion of Dusk closed in, Oltec citizens rallied to support the Thousand Moons and drive off the invaders.

As well as the protection I used for Soul Sisters with Field Surgeon and Crimson Acolyte.
The former is extremely versatile, as the damage prevention can support unfavourable attacks as well as protecting against removal, but the latter is stronger vs monored.
 Field Surgeon {1}{W}

Creature — Human Cleric

Tap an untapped creature you control: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to target creature this turn.

Commanders order soldiers to attack. Field surgeons order them to heal. Both are obeyed without question.
1/1

Creature — Human Cleric

Protection from red

{W}: Target creature gains protection from red until end of turn.

The faithful will walk through streams of fire and emerge unscathed.

In the sideboard I've got Goblin Bushwhacker for speeding up the kill against combo decks, and Conclave Phalanx for a big life gain to stabilise against aggro/burn.
 Goblin Bushwhacker {R}

Creature — Goblin Warrior

Kicker {R} (You may pay an additional {R} as you cast this spell.)

When this creature enters, if it was kicked, creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain haste until end of turn.
1/1

Illustrated by Mark Tedin  Conclave Phalanx {4}{W}

Creature — Human Soldier

Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for {1} or one mana of that creature’s color.)

When this creature enters, you gain 1 life for each creature you control.

I've also got a couple of staples, Nyxborn Hydra for pushing damage through, and reach blocking, and Thraben Inspector as an extra 1-drop for the manabase, and as well as late game card draw, the clue is also something Gene Pollinator can tap.
 Nyxborn Hydra {X}{G}

Enchantment Creature — Hydra

Bestow {X}{G}{G} (If you cast this card for its bestow cost, it’s an Aura spell with enchant creature. It becomes a creature again if it’s not attached.)

Reach, trample

This permanent enters with X +1/+1 counters on it.

Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 for each +1/+1 counter on this Aura and has reach and trample.
0/1

Illustrated by Vincent Christiaens  Thraben Inspector {W}

Creature — Human Soldier

When this creature enters, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It’s an artifact with “{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.”)

“If you’ve been at this as long as I have, nothing can surprise you. That’s the hope, at least.”

Been brewing up a new Pauper deck, went through a few names but I think I've settled on Selesyna Stompy.

Basically, it uses the creature based manabase of my Soul Sisters deck, and then takes as much advantage of the high creature count as possible.
 Salt Road Packbeast {5}{W}

Creature — Beast

This spell costs {1} less to cast for each creature you control.

When this creature enters, draw a card.

“She huffs like she’s Queen Hellkite of the Scour, but we’ve been together for many journeys and she’s never let me down.”
—Mandakh, Mardu scout
4/3 
Illustrated by Ben Wootten  Argivian Phalanx {5}{W}

Creature — Human Kor Soldier

Affinity for creatures (This spell costs {1} less to cast for each creature you control.)

Vigilance (Attacking doesn’t cause this creature to tap.)

New Argive welcomed the kor people when they were displaced by the Rathi overlay. The kor repay that kindness with fierce loyalty.
4/4 
Illustrated by Josh Hass  Scion of the Wild {1}{G}{G}

Creature — Avatar

Scion of the Wild’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control.

It has a hundred thousand extinctions to avenge.

Creature — Human Soldier

Crusader of Odric’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control.

“We are Odric’s sword. We strike without fear, for his mind has divined how our foe will be slain.”

Another factor is that the GCs have a strange cult like belief that if they get a Big Win then trans people will give up and stop being trans.
It's how they deal with the cognitive dissonance of their eliminationist end goal.

11/15 decks up to gold sticker in Balatro.

I think Magic deck shouldn't be too bad now I know how to play it, and Anaglyph deck is boring but ultimately not too hard.

Not looking forward to grinding Black deck or Painted deck tho...
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
I guess there isn't much incentive for a hardcore 10 flips grind until it goes down a bit.
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
Ah right yeah, so even more likely.
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
Hmm, I get around 1 in 10 million? (0.2^10 ~= 1e-7)

In any case, I still kinda feel like that's possible to grind out, you hit even odds at ~7 million attempts, and most runs are an immediate reset, so with a few dozen runners I think you'd start to get close...

PDF is good for what it's supposed to be used for (print accurate copies of documents), but that's bad for most other things we need digital documents for.
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
Funniest result is if someone randomly gets 10 heads at the start, but flubs one of the their inputs and lose a few frames over optimal, so technically there's a chance to beat the record but...

"British" culture is already like 80% appropriated anyway.
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
That first paragraph sounds like they're being sarcastic, like "Yeah the Nazis made a terrorist org? Shocker."
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
Yes! That's sillier, and therefore better.
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
What if you put an art sticker on yourself though?
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
Oh that's simpler than my way, and uses more legal cards 😅

(I was using Rex Nebula + You're In Command)
princesschoochoo.bsky.social
Okay, so I think the sequence is:
Have Oath of Gideon, Yet Another Aether Vortex, and Captain Rex Nebula in play
Cast Form of the Approach of the Second Sun
Draw 6 cards
Go to combat, target yourself with Rex
Crew yourself (w/ Rex)
Go to 2nd main and cast You're In Command on yourself
