🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 - Excellent as always. Super stoked to see Lobbert! Fingers crossed that a @JalapenoPaupers @Lobbert PDH gameplay is in the works! Top 5 PDH Non-Basic Lands AKA "Confessions of a Pauper EDH Necromancer" : 💀 Snow-Covered Swamp - sac Priest of the Haunted Edge for -X/-X; Gangrenous Zombies sacs for 2 damage to each creature and player; Grim Draugr gains Zombie "firebreathing"; 💀 Bojuka Bog - Stop. That. Combo. Player. Only I get to use my graveyard as a second hand. 💀 Witch's Cottage - recur that Accursed Marauder / Fleshbag Marauder / Gray Merchant of Asphodel 💀 Mortuary Mire - Witch's Cottage #2 except it doesn't count as a Swamp 💀 Vault of Whispers - sac to Deadly Dispute / Fanatical Offering / Eviscerator's Insight
I think this draft format really shines with 3 people, rather than 2, as it benefits from more perspectives and gets into more niche cards, forcing people to reach deeper into theor own lists. In defense of fetch lands, there are a ton of grave synergies that want them. Commanders like Pharika's Spawn and Quintorius want to use them as exile fodder. Molderhulk and Aftermath Analyst want to get the lands back. Akawalli and Mystic Enforcer want them to get descend and threshold active. Mayhem Devil and Zoyowa want to benefit from permanents being sacrificed. On a similar note, I think yall are sleeping on panoramas (or Shire Terrace/Promising Vein). These can be an untapped colorless land early to be on curve, but as soon as you have mana held up for interaction you didn't need or can't quite play on curve, then they get you a little extra fixing and deck thinning. They're just not great if your first few turns require a lot of color fixing, like if you have no colorless pips in the cost of a 2 or 3-cost commander. I also use these as a budget way to use snow synergies in mono-color decks. Just put in ~4 snow covered basics and a few land cyclers and fetch lands, and you can pretty much always get the one snow land you need for several different synergies, like Gangrenous Zombies. The other land I'd mention that yall are missing out on is Sejiri Steppe. Auras that lock down commanders are relatively common in the format, and this land can make one of those fall off, or can just give some evasion to a creature that's about to attack.
First again!!!! Long time no see Garrett! 😂
+1 for the Snow Duals. Under-utilized and under appreciated.
just bcause snow basics are costing money. i have a few pdh decks in which i sharpied all my basics, for getting the snow benefit
Whooohoo!
My pick 1-5 in mono-white decks:
P1 - Opal Palace
P2 - Tocasia’s Digsite
P3 - Quicksand
P4 - Path of Ancestry
P5 - Basilisk Gate (even without support)

I thought I didn't like the Garrett guy. He clearly showered this time. Turns out I've been missing him here. . . .
