Card ideas/suggestions for a pauper "man-land" deck?

Pauper forum

I want to build a pauper deck with four copies of Corrupted Zendikon and Crackling Emergence. The lands I'd enchant with them would be from the Drossforge Bridge land-cycle giving me a 3/3 with Indestructible for just 2-mana.

In order to run more bridges, I'll need a third color. I want my third color to be white so I can use Sentinel's Eyes as I won't have to tap a mana source to attack my opponents and it doubles as a decent 4/4 chump blocker.

Any other cards I should consider running in these three colors? (Other cards I'm thinking about using are Tilonalli's Crown//Madcap Skills as a finisher, Gift of Orzhova//Soul Link as sustainability and Ironclad Slayer for recursion.)

Sounds like you want a Cleansing Wildfire core. This has the added benefit that you don't need to run Sentinals Eye cause the mana fixing and ramp is good.

@MollyMab, I think I would run both to be honest, as indestructible is really good if you can also block while using it.

Why Corrupted Zendikon over Wind Zendikon? It's not a wrong or bad decision, I'm just curious why you're making that choice.

My first thought goes to board wipes. Pestilence will pretty much always be active, or Breath Weapon or Fiery Cannonade might work, too, at least as sideboard cards.
