If I were to put up the cash needed to build my pauper burn on MTGO how am I positioned in the meta?

You do need to try to gay it up a little more.
You're like the least gay member of this clan.
And that's counting the fact that you voluntarily have sex with men.

Maybe in the next block, but I doubt they'd want shocks AND fetches in standard together, even if it's only for a couple months. Seriously, imagine the manabases with shocks, fetches, and scrylands?It would help if they reprinted fetches in M15
*fingers crossed*
Interesting though: if they reprinted the onslaught fetches instead of the zendikar fetches, would the price of zendikar fetches go down? And what would happen if they reprinted both?
Also note that reprinting fetches will probably raise the cost of them in the short term, any fall in price will likely happen after they rotate out of standard.

I doubt it. The shocklands certainly dropped in price immediately, and they still haven't rotated out.Also note that reprinting fetches will probably raise the cost of them in the short term, any fall in price will likely happen after they rotate out of standard.

Burn isn't a real deck in pauper, same as any other eternal format. The power level of the creatures is too high.

So being undefeated in paper pauper is a fluke?Burn isn't a real deck in pauper, same as any other eternal format. The power level of the creatures is too high.
I actually mean that as a question and not as a sarcastic, rhetorical jab (though I was tempted to mean it that way).

8 tourneys at 3 rounds per, comes to 24 actual competitive matches, plus testing with friends (my test gauntlet was MBC, MUC, Affinity, tribal faeries, and mono green infect. Mostly because those decks were available).How many matches have you played?

In actual competitive play I've faced MBC 8 times, MUC 4, GU infect 2, stompy 2, esper flicker 3, BW rebels 1, affinity 1, boroskitty 2, and mono green infect 1. My game losses have be been 2 esper flicker, 1 boros kitty, 1MBC, 1 stompy, with zero match losses.

Constructed sucks, play more limited (now with more voltron). If you insist on building decks, then play commander.

I had an amusing idea about reprints and card value. Nothing in portal: three kingdoms is officially on the reserved list, yet they are some of the rarest most expensive cards.
I kinda wanna see a full reprint of portal: three kingdoms with modern frames (still only legacy legal of course). Would go a long way towards dropping prices on some of the most expensive cards, and wouldn't break the reserve list.
(Of course, I would love to see the reserve list go boom for the most part, and to have a proper modern masters done, as well as have the legacy version from mtgo done in paper too)

Yeah, 24 matches is by no means a statistically significant number of matches. It's not a fluke, it's just a minor series of events that are bound to happen when enough people are playing enough Magic. Burn works. Even if all of its matchups were 35%, being undefeated beats the expected odds if you're only looking at your 24 matches, but realize there are thousands of games being played per day. Someone has to win with it; it just happens to be you.8 tourneys at 3 rounds per, comes to 24 actual competitive matches, plus testing with friends (my test gauntlet was MBC, MUC, Affinity, tribal faeries, and mono green infect.

15% is a little ambiguous. Do you mean fifteen percentage points lower or fifteen percent lower?Also you're not playing online against vicious players. My online win rate is nearly 15% lower than my paper one.
i.e.,
65% win rate in paper, 50% win rate online: Percentage points.
65% win rate in paper, 55.25% win rate online: Percent.

Yeah, people stop being able to answer them so they tell you to ask the Pastor.You know what happens when you ask too many questions...
A lot more questions later and you're an atheist who your family doesn't want to deal with anymore.

I had guessed as much. Percentage points is typically what people are using so long as it's a small number (<20) and it's not a politician or news reporter. Especially when they're talking about something being X% less than something else.
78% win rate in paper tells me that you've got a limited group of people to play with and they're all pretty terrible and groan when you sit down across from them.
63% win rate online is actually pretty damned impressive when you realize that a lot of this game is luck.

I only play paper for invitationals, 1Ks, gpts, ptqs and GPs. I regularly lose to the very best, I'm not at their kevel, but I run through anybody else. I'm hoping to make the leap from gatekeeper to contender this year.
