This was my Pauper Elf deck in the early days of the Pauper format.

How to use:

Step 1: Put out a bunch of elves really quick. Use Lys Alana and distant Melodies to assist in this endeavor.

Step 2: Win using either Branchbenders or Timberwatch Elves to put out HUGE attackers. Optionally, equip them with Rancor.

Grapeshot:

This deck has the potential to get 'rolling', if there is 1+ Lys Alana and 1+ Birchlore in play, and you have a Distant Melody in hand. This is not primarily a grapeshot deck, but if conditions are right (usually turn 5 or beyond), I can cast over 20 spells in 1 turn, and cast a totally unexpected grapeshot for the win.

Inspiration:

• Dr Green's Pauper Elves: http://puremtgo.com/articles/pauper-people-second-pe

• All the Grapeshot Elf decklists here on tappedout.

• My other elf decks (i have 5 elf decks including this one).

Note About Bannedlist

This decklist was from early 2011/2012. Grapeshot was banned in December 2012. I'm preserving this decklist as is for posterity. Meh.
