The ratio of supply to demand for Magic cards is most favorable to the buyer right around the time that their block rotates out of Standard. Here's a list of Ravnica block commons that you'll probably want to acquire before that time becomes too distant. While they may not all have places in top-tier decks right now, they're all useful tools that you should at least have access to for future deckbuilding. This list is written from a Pauper perspective, but some of these cards have proven themselves tournament-worthy in other formats, and all could see play in the Casual room.

Pending Approval
In which Kingritz conjugates decks of Pauper Magic past and future. The Handbook offers one Flainian Pobble Bead to whoever gets the title reference. At the outset, the Handbook would like to thank Boin, LostSymphonies, and Polyjak for their generous assistance.
The Problem
Someday, Future Extended will have been an interesting, diverse Pauper format bridging the one-year gap to the Fall 2008 Extended rotation. The format “so new, it’s from the future” promises to make old decks new, make new decks old, destroy some decks entirely, and produce at least a few things never before seen. As Kaityson suggested, no one can realistically expect to figure out the Future Extended metagame at this point. Most likely, Kaityson is right, and future Paupers will one day look back on this article with a certain air of knowing amusement.

Just as an introduction I’d like to talk about why you should play the deck I’m about to breakdown for you. This is essentially an aggro-control deck, which I think can and does beat most of the metagame. This list as I’ve tested is what I think is the strongest list right now, although I’m sure the metagame will change, which will call for substitutions of cards. One of the greatest strengths of this deck is that it has answers to everything out there and can be manipulated to have a stronger matchup based on what decks you expect to see. It is incredibly consistent due to its mana fixing capabilities and versatile answers to threats, many of which are redundant, but have different strengths and weaknesses as the game goes long. The reason you should play this deck is that you can beat any deck your matched up against, although some are more skill intensive, so there isn’t a time when you just roll over and die.

Armadillo Cloak is one of the most expensive cards in the Pauper Classic format, but you can't say that its power level doesn't justify the cost. Green/White Armadillo Cloak decks consistently turn in strong results in tournaments. This article aims to help you duplicate those results.
