My first "Real" Pauper deck. I've played a little on the ol' Cockatrice, and some General-less decks.

Deck's pretty self-explanatory. Uses Simic Guildmage's abilities in a couple of fun ways. Evolve/Enchantments help me create little synergies and combos.

I think I've got about 5, maybe 7 creatures too many. So it's still a work in progress. Just gonna see what's good and what isn't, and continue updating. Ideas and Criticisms welcome.

Edit

Had a couple matches and I'm ready to assess the deck.

First thing I did was take out Ulamog's Crusher. WHAT!?!?! Yeah. Controversial choice, but the deck needs cards I can interact with more than just simple beaters. Had several instances into the late where it was in my hand, but I had better options on the field already or a Capsize in hand. In its place is a Cytospawn Shambler, which should help tremendously with theme, it's slightly cheaper, and it has Graft and counters to use.

As a result of how engine-y the deck has become, we've got more relevant protection. Elgaud Shieldmate has joined this little ragtag band of misfits to help create a better version of Diplomatic Immunity, because I really don't want to play something I can't target.

I'll also be working towards cutting as many sorceries as possible. With Guildmage on the table and decent enchantments or +1/+1 counters in play, I don't really want to tap out a lot on my turn. See Beyond Will probably become Lat-Nam's Legacy, stuff like that. The tricks are cool, and I'd like to have the option of either card drawing or more tricks on other people's turns.

Considered putting some counterspells back in, but the deck's been fine without them, and I don't take this format seriously enough to think I need to bring dynamite when I'm swapping fisticuffs. My meta is competitive, but it isn't the growls and teeth-gnashing kind. Guess that's me saying I haven't played any other blue or other heavy-removal decks besides Soulless One. I might play some unsummon-y style cards or something like that.

Still goofing around, taking cards in, pulling cards out. But this is what it looks like for now. Feels right.
