Pretty simple. My friend is hosting a casual constructed tournament, but rules are that the decks have to be Theros Block Pauper decks. I have a few ideas, but would like some help with some deck lists and deck ideas. So here's my challenge: try to create the best Theros Block Pauper deck you can and post it in this thread. Thanks!!
Speaking of the challenge, I am still angsty I never got to the top 8, but I think Constellation is the consistently strongest mechanic in Theros.
Something like this:

Yeah, I got excited seeing another 'challenge' pop up, but was sad when I realized it is just for deck suggestions.
I was going to suggest a White build revolving around Ethereal Armor , but then I realized you are asking about Theros Block only, not all of Standard. So.... I'll have to think about it more.

Just play this:
4 Satyr Hoplite 4 Akroan Crusader 4 Akroan Skyguard 4 Hopeful Eidolon 4 Nyxborn Rollicker 4 Titan's Strength 4 Gods Willing 4 Lightning Strike 4 Dragon Mantle 4 Mortal Obstinacy 11 Mountain 9 Plains
... and you won't have a problem winning most of your games.
If you don't believe me when I say that Boros Aggro is the strongest of Pauper Theros decks, go read my Pauper Challenge that just finished up last week.

This should probably be in "Deck Help" as you aren't really issuing a challenge.
Having just completed the Standard Pauper Challenge, I've got a pretty good idea of what would do best.
R/W Heroic would do the best, to be honest. You can't really construct a deck to work better than aggro with such a limited number of cards. Just pack it with combat tricks, Gods Willing , and cheap anti-aggro spells.
