Proxy: Counterspell
Okay this is not a premium pic or drawing or whatever but I'd still like to share it. Here is one of my proxies for my penny pauper cube (my other counterspells are currently in use). Also made a Ghostly Flicker and Tree Visits proxy of the same quality. Sounds odd but I'm very happy with the result. I want to use them (as said before) for a super cheap cube I want to use for traveling. The cards are not sleaved.
When I build a new deck I try to minimize cost and try not to be super over powered since it's hard to find pauper players anyway and you don't want to smash your friends every game.
This is why I opted for mono-w heroic which is fun to play but I couldn't get it to behave very consistently. My favorite one is golgari aristocrats. There I also try to keep the costs low so I opted for Fists of Ironwood instead of Rancor. Also I themed it a little more on Vampires, just for fun. It's super fun to play and with Rite of consumption it deals a ton of damage very fast.
Then I try experimenting with cards I found in some trash boxes. With them I built a u-control/mill deck based on jaces erasure which is very fun to play and works out better than expected. It would work even better when mixed with green for fog spells but they are to costly for me (since I try to keep the budget super low; as I said multiple times).
Lately I'm trying to build a mono blue tempo/faeries deck but I'm missing some important peaces.
Also I'm thinking about experimenting with some cleric deck; but currently not sure how to get some damage through.
