So fairly new to pauper and tried doing MonoBlue Delver at first, but my heart wasn't in it.
So I took some stuff from my favorite heroic red decks like Cheap Red Whine, blood is cheaper than whine, and what ended up being a legacy burn deck that I've had since forever. Ended up with this monstrosity. Because who doesn't like swinging for 9 damage on turn 2? Only to be left with either a 3/3 or 3x 1/1s? With either
Satyr Hoplite
or
Akroan Crusader
pumped twice with either
Titan's Strength
or
Brute Force
or
Reckless Charge
It's quick, fun and deadly if things go right. I've had some fun matches online so far, and would definitely try a daily with this if I wasn't working weird hours in a weird place.
Main idea is to get creatures in for early damage, maximize combat trickery, and burn in for the kill.
If you feel like playtesting, just about any hand with 2 lands and a creature is a keeper. 1 land depends on what you have in hand, as a
Titan's Strength
during turn 2 upkeep will help filter draws
There are some decent ideas that have come and gone from the deck in it's current iteration. Some of these ideas lean more towards burn, while others have a distinct hate towards affinity/robots. Things that have come and gone are in the maybe board, and also tinkered with every so often.
As for the potential turn 2 kill, an opening hand of Mountain, Mountain,
Kiln Fiend
, Simian Spirit Guide, Assault Strobe, Mutagenic Growth and any of the spells that can give +3 power for will work. Turn 1, drop a Mountain and exile Simian Spirit Guide for a turn 1
Kiln Fiend
. Turn 2 Assault Strobe, a+3 spell, and Mutagenic Growth and swing for 24 damage
These are just some ideas of decent cards if you want to take this deck and personalize it. And by all means, feel free to keep the suggestions rolling in. Thanks for checking this deck out, and please +1 if you like it.
