Classic Version
If need the regular version , is a bit more limited in what you can do but is more efficient very straight foward, uses original concept hold the game width walls and large creatures to damage.
News :
-
In this new version i add craching draw bridge which gives your creatures haste think can compete width burn in therms of damage if you start sending them 7/7 and 5/5 width haste. :
-
Thinking in adding mold shambler main
-
Add the ooze to get a more mind range\aggro style in to the deck.
Deck :
- 4 - Wall of Blossoms , Sarulf's Packmate, Llanowar Visionary, Ahriman visionary is a good choise you get also mana source, but width ahriman you can infinite recurring of cards. One of the two
- 4 - Pilfer
- 2 - Distress
- 4 - Overgrown Battlement
- 4 - Vine Trellis
- 4 - Crashing Drawbridge, Three Tree Rootweaver, Nightshade Dryad
- 4 - Pernicious Deed, Pestilence
- 2 - Recurring Nightmare, Tortured Existence
- 4 - Cavern Stomper
- 4 - Nylea's Disciple
- 4 - Blastoderm
- 4 - Cast Down
- 4 - Mold Shambler, Undergrowth Leopard
- 4 - Expanding Ooze seems a pretty though card to replicate the Rock and Jund game style, you get a low cost high beater or high quality mid range creature. That you can protect width Pilfer and cast down to disable oppoents threats.
- 4 - Essence Harvest In pauper we may need a bit more aggro, since many decks do a very good lock width fogs, which where not there in the original concept locks like spore frog + torture the deck have't a good anwser like in original width pernicius deed.
20 lands
(SB)
Deranged Hermit - usely the deck relly heavy on hermit since its large, weeny and beater... , in Pauper we don't have cards like that the best you can get is a high quality beater like cave stomper.
The logic is simple we have a lot of trash that lather is convertered to high quality spells throw tortured existence or recurring nightmare in original. What is high quality late game is not in earlier game. Think this concept is interesting, a bit like a football team, they make transitions.
Mainly there are 2 versions of The Rock, the Tool Box, and the transitional Rock which is this one. Made few attempts on the Tool Box on the other version, end up width kind of hybrid width card advantages, hard to tell if the enviorment was inspired in that play test, but one thing is certain its the style most Pauper decks adopt now "hybrid card adavantage". It's hard to tell because people can reach the same conclusions, in similar enviorments.
Updates
-
Aquired a bit of knowledge width the deck at this point, so removed the unneed stuff, and add befoul making very compact. Even in sideboard it focus more on the needed things.
-
Dinova horror combo well width welk, chit rats, perplex, all cards that they have to discard things. If have no cards in hand become vulnerable to Horror. Is a pretty solid card to control the board, you can get lands, creatures, enchantments, artifacats...
-
Whats better ? : strider, tusker, tanuki, or thrull . Think Strider is more balance of the options you got a cheaper land cycler, and larget amount of health gain, And a decent beater.
-
Add chittering rats to create some kind of lock\combo , if they have no creatures in hand and have an enchantment in hand you can win the game. Chitting + torture + ahriman + devottee.
-
Strong Orchard Strider width ahriman, since he sacrifice artifacts you can draw 3 cards.
-
Children of Korlis pretty good? You don't need any heavy extra stuff you start locking the game very soon width abazn.
-
Don't know if it worth or not the use of fierce empath, but it could add much more versatility, is one of the few high quality tutors on Pauper.
-
Swine master could work as our Derendged Hermit it build creatures which turn, and is very low cost.
-
Vine trelis vs nightshade dryd, think nightshade a litle better since it protects vs a earlier large creature, and allow to pack more anti-creature while maintain mana and color acceleration.
-
Add the squeeb goblin nabob as Abzan
-
We have a couple of ninjas that could work : coiling stalker, azra smokeshaper, shadow-waker, new moon, okina.
