1st Place @ Universe Games Pauper Tournament —Aug. 9, 2015

Got 1st at Universe Game's Pauper tournament last Saturday!

Game 1

G/W Hex Proof // 2-1

Game 2

U/B Undying jank // 2-0

Game 3

U/R control // 2-0

Game 4

Mono Blue Delver // 1-0 then conceded

Super exciting to win my first pauper event. I've played at universe a lot and always go 3-1 losing my final round every time! I finally pulled it off. Thanks for viewing, will post details at a later time.

Sewer pauper is my take! It's quite similar but after playtesting your version i feel that my version is more aggressive. Maybe you can lower your manacurve to give it more edge? +1

Dash Hopes looks like an interesting addition, I'm completely new to the pauper format. I made this deck based on various Mono Black Control builds listed here:

I think I wanna run with this shell right now, your deck is more of an aggro deck. Which is pretty sweet in it's own right. The creature base here has a more controlling approach. Generally the deck wins with Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Corrupt. I try to drag out the game so I can gary or corrupt for a ridiculous amount. The deck is slower for that reason.

Sweet build though, I might try that out at some point.

I would probably ease up on the kill spells - a lot of the top pauper decks are not weak to straight up kill spells (aka decks that play blue like Delver and DelverFiend). Instead, add some more control via Crypt Rats (at least 3 in the 75 are needed) and 3-4 Unearth for the versatility it provides or 1-2 Disturbed Burial/Grim Harvest for the ultra lategame.

Thank you for the suggestions, This is real advice I'm looking for.

Crypt Rats is almost like Pestilence. I'll consider it, it does exactly what you want Pestilence to do except cheaper to play. Seems good!

I've played with Unearth and I wasn't sure how i felt about it, There were times I wish i could grab a Gray Merchant of Asphodel, but it does hit everything else in the deck besides angler. I do think Disturbed Burial could be ultra brutal after a Crypt Rats / Pestilence wipe.

This is a lot better than the first iteration. I would include hard kill spells instead of disfigure - 3-4 Victim of Night seems a lot better. You can kill most small things with Cuombajj witches or multiples of them. Add 1 more crypt rats main. They are invaluable as a mid to late game kill condition.

LD in the sideboard is moot - it is only used VS tron, a hard matchup for sure, but a single LD spell is not going to stop them. A single Undying Evil on Chattering will be way more useful in the long run vs them and it is more versatile as it can be used in other matchups (izzet control for example).

Thanks, I do see the value of Crypt Rats.

I'm not sure I'm sold on removing Disfigure from the list. You don't always draw witches, and cheap removal like this hits a lot of creatures in the format. Across all the meta decks.

victim is good removal for sure, but we have things like Oubliette and Tendrils of Corruption to deal with larger threats

Tendrils of Corruption feels like a better tempo play most of the time. Usually it's later in the game when my opponent plays something that Disfigure won't kill.

I recently picked up a playset of Undying Evil. I'll try to find a way to fit it into this list.

thank you for all your suggestions!

Hymn to tourach isn't playable in pauper because it wasn't printed as a common in an online set. Sorry to burst the bubble. I've been playing hymn since it was printed and love it. when I started playing pauper it was the first card I looked at
