I've been working on UG Madness for quite some time now. However, since the release of Borderland Explorer online, I've been spending more time with the RG version. I took the Italian lists from previous paupergeddon events as my starting point, and started tweaking from there, leading me to this current version.

Pros of this deck include:

• Serious nut draw potential with Basking Rootwalla + Borderland Explorer + Burning-Tree Emissary
• Creatures that are well above the curve of the format, especially in conjunction with rancor
• A strong removal suite that doubles as reach in games where you need to be aggressive
• A very fast manabase for a 2 color deck, courtesy of Borderland Explorer

Downsides include:

• A complete lack of flying blockers in the maindeck (this is why we have 8 cards against Delver in our sideboard)
• The large number of noncreature spells means you sometimes get hands that fold to 1-2 pieces of removal
• Ocassionally drawing all madness outlets or all madness cards and being stuck playing below rate cards
