I figure that if a deck is playing white, it's likely to be playing white enchantment-based removal like Oblivion Ring or Temporal Isolation, so the Kami would be great at keeping my other creatures clear of these answers. The Kami of Ancient Law in the sideboard is mostly to switch in against creature-light decks as an early beater, or to replace Holy Light against white decks. My creatures are few, but are versatile and are great both early and late game, oftentimes utilizing my excess mana to the fullest. I run a wealth of removal spells, some of which can earn card advantage. So I built a deck designed to crush aggro strategies. (Note: the circles of protection were common when printed in 7th edition, so they're legal for pauper.)Īnyway, I realized that most decks for pauper are creature-heavy, due to the lack of mass removal. Echoing Truth is to stop pauper storm decks based on Empty the Warrens, and the Mistblade Shinobi is for keeping midrange creature decks off balance.ĭeck: Sarutabaruta (or just call it Pauper Mono-W Control) Remove Soul is also good against aggro, while Negate is for control decks that have been popular lately. Peppersmoke handles most pingers and can decimate casual aggro decks. Its biggest weaknesses appear to be board-sweeping spells and pingers, so my sideboard is built to accomidate either of those threats. It's a very cheap deck to build due to being made entirely of commons, yet I find that it's still a solid deck to play in other casual formats as well. Nearly every spell can potentially 2-for-1 the opponent, giving me control of the game thanks to my strong card advantage. The deck has lots of disruption and can usually play pretty aggressively. Save the instant counters for things you can't handle, like high cost spells that Spellstutter Sprite can't hit, or board-wiping spells. The basic strategy is to play evasive creatures with nice CIP abilities, then bounce them with ninja to replay them again, gaining tons of card advantage. It's all about making big explosions, after all! If you're about to lose, don't be afraid to Conspire Conflux and show off your deck in a glorious fashion. Remember, the objective with this deck is to conspire ridiculous spells for ridiculous fun. If you get Wort up and running, you can recycle your Naya Charms with your other cards extremely easily. However, don't be afraid to spend Naya Charm early on. Acting as Regrowth, Lash Out, and a fourth of Cryptic Command is truly something amazing. Naya Charm is truly your ace in the hole. Garruk's Beast tokens are also extremely helpful in surviving to your big guns, and Garruk himself provides you some acceleration that can get you there faster. The Primal Commands can gain you some important life early on, and it's not uncommon to be casting Maelstrom Archangel on turn 5 if it's in your opener, so the Angel can act as a last-ditch blocker if need be. In addition, don't be afraid to take a bit of damage you can afford to go down to 10 or even 5 before you're really in dire straits. In terms of your early game, the key to surviving is to play Sprouting Thrinax, Naya Charm, and Cone of Flame as much as possible to slow down your foe. Maelstrom Archangel is there to help you push through some spells after all, it's not very likely you'll be able to play two Ultimatums in one turn, is it? Between the 5 game-winners, one being a repeatable spell, the 4 Naya Charms, and the 3 Primal Commands and 4 Cone of Flames to control the game a bit, this deck should have no problem pushing through a late-game backbreaker.

Once you get into the late game, any deck without an abundance of counterspells will suddenly be faced with an onslaught of powerful spells.

When playing this deck, it's important to survive the early game. He'll likely have haste from one of the many warriors in the deck, and his firebreathing effect quickly escalates from Smokebraider's ability. When they do, search up a new one and do it again! Vengeful Firebrand is great end game. If they somehow survive this, just champion Flamekin Harbinger, fling your Nova Chasers and Changeling Berserkers at the opponent.

Play Incandescent Soulstoke turn three, and up to 3 Nova Chasers through the Soulstoke's ability turn 4 for the win. Then play Smokebraider for some cheap mana. Start the game off by playing Flamekin Harbinger to tutor up either Nova Chaser or the Soulstoke, depending on what you need more. It has a very good record, wins most games it plays and consistenly trounces my Faerie deck. The other one was multiplayer, and did manage to take down somebody else before I did the same to her. That deck focuses on getting the kill as fast as possible, and is an extremely simple deck to play - I gave it to my mom, and she managed to beat me with it, twice out of three games.
