About these 5 decks:

Budgeted: These decks are for those whom want EDH Decks that work in Regular EDH but don't want to spend the money for EDH Decks that are $100-$300. With these decks, all you need to spend is about $20 for a deck and be almost as good as an actual deck, plus, you'll be able to start playing Pauper EDH.

Main: I was going through my white common/uncommon trade box and saw that there were a LOT of common flyers (mainly birds and griffins) and some common life gainers, so I just decided to make an EDH deck out of them, and it actually worked in the first game. My second one, Zombos: The Paupered Death, came in VERY strong and beat my Birbs: The Paupered Life deck. When I made the rest, I wan unable to test them since I was busy but hopefully, 11/18/2017 is the day that I'll be able to test them.

Update (01/26/2023): Flyers: The Paupered Counter came in REAL strong against Birbs: The Paupered Life yet granted, there are other decks that are way better.
