Who are your Pauper Generals?
Commander (EDH) forum

What uncommons, or commons are you using as the general for your EDH pauper deck?
I'm using the following.
Sigil Captain - 1/1 weenie deck, seems to do all right.
Diregraf Captain - blue/black zombie tribal.
Fusion Elemental - Voltron, general goodstuff deck. Uses the maze elementals from Dragon's Maze.
Scarland Thrinax - Sacrifice deck, very nasty.
Sunhome Guildmage - Boros themed soldier/ knight deck.
Decks I'm working on

Nature Hike (green creature PDH) featuring Garruk's Packleader
COP out (circle of protection PDH) featuring Knotvine Mystic
(This used to be mono-white featuring Mother of Runes
but I just found it too boring to play.)
izzet half fast or half slow? (izzet PDH) featuring Goblin Flectomancer

Orcish Lumberjack ! Because playing five drops on turn two is FAIR!!! And don't let ANYBODY tell you otherwise.

I forgot about Garruk's Packleader . I've got two alternate generals for that deck, the Bellowing Tanglewurm and Roughshod Mentor . I tried building a vampire tribal with the Stromkirk Captain , but couldn't scrounge up enough common vampires to pull it off.

@phc I also had two alternate generals and one of them was also Bellowing Tanglewurm . Another was Drumhunter but that got moved to a different deck.

I made a Zameck Guildmage pauper deck I never get to play because the format's not popular around here. I just realized I never posted it to tappedout, I'll have to do that.

I mostly put my decks together for fun. The only person I'm able to play with is my girlfriend. My friends look down on the EDH pauper format. They are all about doing battleship decks, and don't want to limit themselves.

I'm trying to build a Nezumi Graverobber deck using discarding and reanimation. I don't have a lot of knowledge on commons so the deck building is going slow for me.

I don't play Pauper EDH as much anymore, but when I do, its with Ascended Lawmage . That creature is so broken.

Nightscape Battlemage PDH: Nightscape Battlemage Grixis control. Fun as hell.
Garruk's Packleader PDH: Garruk's Packleader Stompy that just keeps stomping. Perpetual green machine. Unless they bring a forest with them, every creature triggers the general.
Viashino Slaughtermaster PDH: Jund Slaughtermaster Jund Aggro Control. Also fun as hell.
Stromkirk Captain PDH: Rakdos Vampires Probably the best Lord. First strike is a beast in this format.
Still need to build:
Rot Farm Skeleton PDH: The Rot Farm Dredge. Voltronish.
Nimbus Swimmer PDH: SIMIC LEVIATHAN! Ramp/counter some stuff/OH SHIT A FLYING LEVIATHAN!
Fleshwrither would be sweet. And slow.
