Edge of Eternities might not have dropped a huge wave of new staples, but the few standouts it gave us have completely shaken things up. You’ll be surprised at just how many decks have shifted because of them—and there’s even one card that’s shot up in popularity almost entirely thanks to these new additions. Intrigued? Let’s dive in and take a closer look.

What’s great from Edge of Eternities in Pauper?
Sometimes it only takes a couple of new cards to breathe fresh life into the format, spark new strategies, or even revamp older archetypes.
[cards]{{Nutrient Block}}{{Cryogen Relic}}[/cards]
The biggest standouts so far are [card]Cryogen Relic[/card] and [card]Nutrient Block[/card]—two artifacts that open the door to a whole new level of card advantage for any deck that knows how to abuse them.
NEW Edge of Eternities Undefeated Decks to Try
Golgari Familiar by DB_LucianoGuma
[card]Cauldron Familiar[/card] is one of my favorite cards in any format, and while this deck only runs two copies, it really takes advantage of the natural synergy with the new artifact [card]Nutrient Block[/card]. The build plays a lot like the classic Golgari Gardens setup, but it leans more into control and card advantage instead of relying on [card]Crypt Rats[/card] to close out games.
[cards]{{Cauldron Familiar}}{{Pestilence}}[/cards]
Here, [card]Pestilence[/card] acts as the main removal tool. Thanks to 12+ different Food enablers, you’ll almost always have a creature on board to keep the enchantment around. The fun part is that the Cat dies when Pestilence activates, but it comes right back onto the battlefield, creating a sneaky little loop that’s both resilient and powerful.
Azorius Relic by Antoine57437
This deck is built around pushing [card]Cryogen Relic[/card] to its limit. The coolest thing about the card is its leave-the-battlefield trigger, which lets you draw a card.
[cards]{{Kor Skyfisher}}{{Cryogen Relic}}[/cards]
That effect pairs perfectly with bounce creatures like [card]Glint Hawk[/card] and [card]Kor Skyfisher[/card], though this particular list skips Hawk and leans harder on Skyfisher to get the job done.
[cards]{{Abjure}}[/cards]
Another big winner here is [card]Abjure[/card], which basically turns into a one-mana hard counter when you sacrifice your Relic to it. Cards like [card]Hard Evidence[/card] and [card]Fallaji Archaeologist[/card] also chip in by giving you extra bodies to sacrifice along the way. At the end of the day, the goal is to squeeze as much value as possible while keeping control of the board.
How exactly this deck wins is a little mysterious—even I’m not entirely sure—but it’s definitely intriguing. It’s the kind of brew I’d be excited to try out in the future just to see where it goes
Dimir Control v1 by Mikibairon96
Dimir builds have also found ways to abuse the new [card]Cryogen Relic[/card], and naturally they pair it with [card]Abjure[/card]. What I like about this version is how it also leans on [card]Eviscerator’s Insight[/card] to make the most of Relic’s ability. On top of that, [card]Sneaky Snacker[/card] brings in another solid fodder option for [card]Abjure[/card], which means the counterspell is almost never a dead card in hand.
Dimir Control v2 by edgo
Similar to the earlier build, this version also abuses [card]Cryogen Relic[/card], but it leans much harder into an artifact-heavy strategy. Cards like [card]Refurbished Familiar[/card] and [card]Kenku Artificer[/card] give it extra ways to push toward a win. With so many artifacts in play, [card]Metallic Rebuke[/card] becomes one of the biggest winners here, since the cost reduction is almost always active. Altogether, this list feels more streamlined around its artifact core while still keeping the control angle.
Orzhov Familiar by _rash_
Speaking of Familiars, this deck is a blast because it manages to abuse both [card]Cauldron Familiar[/card] and [card]Refurbished Familiar[/card] in the same shell. What really makes it stand out is that it doesn’t just lean on the Food plan—you also get the full Gates package. That gives it a second path to victory, much like the Food Tribal deck I’ve played before, but here the synergy feels even tighter and more flexible.
Dimir Affinity by unsur3
It feels like we’ve talked about Dimir Affinity before, but this list takes a completely different approach by showcasing one of the most underrated cards in Pauper: [card]Etherium Spinner[/card]. With [card]Frogmite[/card] and [card]Myr Enforcer[/card], every free cast suddenly comes with an extra 1/1 flyer when Spinner is on the field. On top of that, the addition of [card]Cryogen Relic[/card] helps make up for the card advantage that was lost when [card]Deadly Dispute[/card] got banned, giving the deck a fresh angle without losing steam.
Jeskai Synthesizer by Erkartor
Remember how I said [card]Glint Hawk[/card] and [card]Kor Skyfisher[/card] are the best enablers for [card]Cryogen Relic[/card]? So why not put them into a Boros shell? Well, it turns out sometimes simplicity is king, and that’s exactly what this Jeskai Synthesizer build shows off.
Mono-Black Sacrifice by SavSave
Of course, not everything revolves around [card]Cryogen Relic[/card] or [card]Nutrient Block[/card]—[card]Perigee Beckoner[/card] is here to prove that point.
[cards]{{Perigee Beckoner}}[/cards]
In a sacrifice package, being able to abuse enter-the-battlefield or death triggers gets pretty wild, especially when you have reliable outlets to make sure Beckoner’s ability goes off.
It’s not quite a scam-style build, but it’s a fun experiment that feels worth exploring.
