Mill it to Win it!

This is my version of, in my opinion, the best grind deck in Pauper. This version is standard , but many 3-color combinations are also possible, and in some cases, better. I do not think any combinations without green is very good, however, as we lose our main stall tools, but we'll get to that in a minute.

The reason I play this deck is I like to adapt through the game, and grind out my opponents. I like to think of my graveyard as an extension of my hand, and this deck is the absolute personification of that concept. I recommend this deck to people who share that philosophy, or anyone who misses playing Birthing Pod in modern, and wants to play a toolbox deck again.
The main concept of the deck is to stall and grind as much as we can. We want to play the really hard early game in stopping aggro decks. We then transition into the midgame, where our graveyard is getting full of creatures and fuel, all of which serve different purposes in the deck. By lategame, we want to have a way to win while still stopping our opponent's advances.
These are the cards we use to stall the early game

Spore Frog: Repeatable Fog that you can recur and replay for a simple

Golgari Brownscale: Probably one of the best creatures in this deck. Gains life against aggro, and mills us. With Tortured Existence, it's easy to get in the yard. Win/win

Brindle Boar: Much like the first two on this list, it lets us stall out the early aggro by gaining life. Can also block, then sac to gain an advantage in combat.

Fume Spitter: Is able to eliminate some early pressure, and is very abusable when you can activate its ability a few times a turn.

These are our main enablers for our combo.

Golgari Brownscale: Again, probably the single best card in the deck. More than pulls its weight.

Satyr Wayfinder: Mills over some cards, can really help finding lands, as we mill more than our fair share during the game

Vessel of Nascency: A solid t1 play. It's no Spore Frog, but it's better for building up when we know we aren't playing a aggressive deck. Also can fetch Tortured Existence

Commune with the Gods: More or less the same as above. Fetches Tortured Existence while also filling our yard.
