Affinity deck with R/U/W and a lot of artifacts designed for aggro playing.
First of all there is a playest of 3 of the artifact lands that provide us colored mana: Ancient Den, Great Furnace and Seat of the Synod. Being an affinity deck it's good to have these bonus artifacts.
Then we play with up to 20 creatures (36 if we count the Kuldotha Rebirth goblins and the
Flayer Husk
germs as a living weapon)
Gameplay is quite easy: get as many creatures on the battlefield as fast as possible. For this very end there are a couple of
Mycosynth Wellspring
to help us get the lands needed, the Ichor Wellspring and Prophetic Prism to increase drawing speed and deck thinning and the
Thoughtcast
. Having 4 x
Frogmite
and 4x
Myr Enforcer
just there to flood the battlefield with thougher creatures in a given turn.
Kuldotha Rebirth works in two different ways at once: gets you 3 1/1 goblins on the battlefield and may be used to sacrifice the Ichor Wellspring or the
Mycosynth Wellspring
and draw a card or a basic land. If the rebirth appears mid game and none of said cards are around but you have a healthy supply of mana, just sacrifice one of your artifact lands.
Glint Hawk is a fast to play creature, at a single W in cost you can have him flying in the battlefield in turn one just by taking the Ancient Den you played and tapped to get the right mana. No artifact lands avaliable on turn 1? No problem, use it later on the game to have the Ichor Wellspring and the
Mycosynth Wellspring
back to your hand and keep using them for additional drawing every turn.
Flayer Husk
is a nice living weapon, having a black germ creature in the battlefield avoids some of the creature removal spells, and even if they succeed you still have some equipment around (applying them in those flyers can work real fine). And what's best, if you need an EXTRA creature and the husk is just an equipment, play a Glint Hawk, have it come back to your hand and play it for just 1 colorless mana.
Porcelain Legionnaire
s were included because you can still play them even when no white mana is avaliable, just pay 2 lfie and get that nice 3/1 with first strike on the battlefield as soon as turn 2, helps preventing attacks from the opponent as well as giving you a decent punch.
Somber Hoverguard
was added for two main reasons: first it has a nice affinity for artifacts and seconds it's a 3/2 flyer that will hit the battlefield sooner than most flyers in pauper, this combined with the other 4 flyers in this deck (Glint Hawk, which is a 2/2 creature) will help getting past most of the defenses your opponent might have managed to play.
On the defensives side there are a couple of Oblivion Rings that will help get rid of some of the mosty annoying permanents played agaisnt us and the Galvanic Blast, to assist in the creature destroying task or even be used to damage your opponent directly.
Remember, play fast, attack anytime you can and concentrate your efforts on the opponent. Having so many creatures around will make it more difficult for decks with a high removal count to deal with them!
Sidboarding
This will turn your deck into a R/W pure aggro with a bit more defense against creatures. just get rid of anything blue plus the lands, choose a couple more cards and add the whole sideboard: Game will change.
