Rabid Wombat
2 years ago
I always thought Rabid Wombat was the bee's knees. It struck me as a perfect mix of bizarre-and-hilarious but also intriguing as a card to build around back in the day. Of course, many superior versions of the idea have seen print since Legends... but it's nice to see this old favourite being given a chance by your Pauper build. I especially appreciate the fact that there are essentially no other creatures, meaning the Wombat is your first and only route to victory!
I guess one thing that stood out to me is that the lands are a little plain! Forests get the job done, by all means, but you certainly have room to play around with some nonbasic lands to give you more options during play. This build seems like it never really needs more than four mana, so lands like Tranquil Thicket, Slippery Karst and Desert of the Indomitable can be cycled away if you draw them after that point. Quicksand can keep pesky attackers off your back while you're setting up, and Gingerbread Cabin should have virtually no drawback while earning you an extra bit of life.
One other enchantment I think you might want to consider is the newcomer Sheltering Boughs. It's not cheap at three mana, but replacing itself is not to be underestimated! You could probably run it over Favor of the Woods, which always struck me as a very weak card.
