Hell yea, glad I could help.

Have you considered putting Bow of Nylea for boardwhipe + buffing/life ?

That would be fantastic breno1606, but this is a Pauper deck. Only common cards, and still really effective.

Oh, ok. Thanks for commenting back btw. I look foward to see what your little monster will be capable of.

It's been playing really well, breno1606, though it leans heavily on its sideboard to defeat red/burn decks.

Rancor is not pauper

How do you figure, Duke_Lancaster?

Rancor (Urza's Legacy)

Urza's Legacy Released for MTGO

It was released common in Urza's Legacy. Urza's Legacy was released in MTGO. I know it gets confusing, just like Lightning Bolt, but you just have to look for all the editions and where they were released.

ok your right

In an infect deck, Invigorate is zero mana for four poison counters. I can't recommend a set of them enough.

ClockworkSwordfish I've seen how great Invigorate is, but it's also on almost every ban list you can find.
It would be nice, but the next best bet for me was Groundswell with the +4/+4 for (after Landfall)

specialed for Sho.

Panzerforge - Nice deck! +1 I've always been a fan of infect.

I'm sure you have some great reason since you've clearly thought this deck through well but what is your reason for not including Giant Growth? Perhaps you could half and half it with Groundswell or Mutagenic Growth. My case is that you are only running 20 lands (which is probably right since the deck is so fast) but that means you can't guarantee that you'll drop a land every other turn. Sure it will work sometimes but you may kick yourself when you want the landfall trigger the most and you don't have it.

But great deck :-)

I've considered Giant Growth, MorgsJ. The eventual reason for my choice of Groundswell over giant growth was simply for the gamble.
If my opening hand has a Glistener Elf, Mutagenic Growth, Groundswell, and 2 Lands... Turn two I can hit for 7 poison counters.
I know it won't always work out like that, but it's pretty nice when it does.
Thank you for the thought!

Atony1400 I haven't kept scrupulous records of this deck's victories. But I assure you, it is more than capable, and has even challenged and won against Modern decks, despite being Pauper.

Ok. I'll accept it...

I just ordered this one as well. All 75 cards cost me $22 on TCG

I play this deck often BigWhi, it's really quite potent for the low price.

Some fun tricks to remember:
Use Vines of Vastwood on an opponent's creature after they spend a lot of mana on an expensive enchantment, sorcery, or instant that targets their creature. It hits at instant speed and makes their target illegal.

Grim Affliction and Virulent Wound can be used in tandem to remove two 2/2 creatures, and give your opponent 2 poison counters, so long as you cast virulent wound first.

Gruesome Deformity is an underestimated card in a two-color deck that doesn't run any dual-color creatures, and it makes your Corpse Curs very, very hard to block.

I wish you luck in your games! Let me know how they play out!

So do you still use this deck, I'm just getting into the pauper format and I haven't really found a deck yet. How well does the deck perform? I love the colors and the deck looks solid but having never playd the format I just want to know if the deck is worth building. My local game store is going to start having Pauper tournaments so I am hoping to find a deck that can win.

MetaMaster22, I use this deck often, against a variety of Pauper decks. It's very effective, hits very fast, but has some solid tricks up its sleeve for slightly longer games.

I've mentioned many of these in the description and comments above.

Good luck!

If you do play this in paper though, MetaMaster22, it's really important to do the whole stacks thing, to try and get a good spread of lands. The only thing that can really kill this deck completely is a bad hand. If you have to mulligan down to 4 then it's not looking good.

Ideally, you want a Forest, a Glistener Elf, and some buffs for your opening hand. (Mutagenic Growth is a fantastic opener, but if you have another land in hand, then Groundswell is even more evil, and the two combined is really close to "best case scenario")

As you playtest it out, I'm sure you'll make some adjustments for your style of play, and the sideboard is really dependent on your local meta more than anything else.

Also, there's a lot of fun things you can do with the Corpse Cur, from doing some really annoying mass-rez by suicide attacking with one, and putting the enemy in a lose-lose situation. If they DON'T block it, then use every instant you have to pump it and make them pay for it. If they DO block and kill it, hit it with Undying Evil and return it to the battlefield with +1/+1 AND return another creature from your graveyard. Those kinds of tricks are really hard to stop in Pauper.

(Not to mention the great "unblockable" technique mentioned above using Corpse Cur + Gruesome Deformity .)

I think I've ranted enough, but I'll be happy to hear how it plays for you.

This deck looks awesome. I love rude stuff like Infect.

I just found some Pauper players in my area. Mind if I steal your deck?

I also have two Thoughtseize I haven't traded off yet. Do you think they could go sideboard over Duress or is the life cost too much, maybe removing creatures isn't important enough?

I know it would break your budget but I do have the extras just sitting here doing nothing.

Thoughtsize has always been rare I think

Oh yeah, I'm an idiot. I neglected that for some reason.

Question though, in Pauper are you required to have the Common print of a card? Or can you use any print as long as it was printed as Common at some point?

It is enough when it was printed common at some point. Putting out rare cards that once were common might cause some confusion though. Also be careful with older cards from times when rares had no special color in the symbol.
