MONO RED PAUPER STAX

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • The idea is to make symmetrical land destruction favor me more and win by denying mana to my opponenets
  • Firewild Borderpost and Veinfire Borderpost are 1 CMC mana rocks that let me have enough mana for the whole game. They work well with Tremble, resulting only in your opponent losing a land
  • Crack the Earth most often forces the opponent to lose a land or the rare creature they slip in early. It also works well with Ichor Wellspring, giving you a nice 2 for 1 exchange.
  • The deck itself is lacking mana, so anything above 2 CMC is generally a no-go, so Keldon Halberdier is a perfect turn 1 creature that will close out the game fast while you blow up lands.
  • Atog and Kuldotha Rebirth are the chosen finishers because I am running 11 artifacts (15 including lands), so it's great synergy to get rid of extra borderposts or Ichor Wellsprings
  • The REMOVAL spells can be mixed in any proportions depending on your meta. However I suggest running no less than 3 Harvest Pyre. Land destruction is pure fuel for an opposing turn 3 Gurmag Angler.
  • Deck fares well against Mono Blue Delver, Tron, Aggro decks, affinity (after sideboarding, if you get them early). Elves are pretty hard unless you really pressure them and draw removal.

SIDEBOARD

Unfortunately, I have not been able to play pauper since Modern Horizons came out, so the deck might need tweaking to adjust to the changing meta.
