"It's a mistake to say turtles hide in their shells. They merely need time to contemplate how best to bite your head off."

Welcome Turtlelord, come and consult the Glassblower's Puzzleknot to know your enemy's next moves, in the safe rooms of your palace, protected by your loyal turtles. Keep Watch ing your enemies Live Fast , waiting for them to Die Young while you calmly lead you turtle army to victory.

Consider this deck is a pauper turtle tribal, so while trying to make it as competitive as possible, I want to keep some flavor, otherwise a pauper turtle tribal wouldn't make sense.

Cards

Artifacts

Consulate Turret is mainly used as an energy generator but its second effect is not bad either.

Glassblower's Puzzleknot helps you find what you want and generates energy.

Renegade Map is not so fast but it's very cheap in pauper and this deck isn't really fast anyway.

Creatures

Calcite Snapper is a good wall and very hard to remove and can be triggered by Evolving Wilds .

Giant Tortoise fills the 2 mana slot and is a good turtle wall.

Hightide Hermit is a good 4/4 body, generates a good amount of energy and almost doesn't have the defender downside as you should usually have access to .

Shipwreck Moray is a good wall, gives you energy and is actually very versatile, by spending or it can become either a 2/3 or a 4/1 instantly.

Thriving Turtle fills the 1 mana slot and is the most efficient generator of energy in this deck and in late turns can become quite big.

Enchantments

Aqueous Form makes you scry and gives you creatures evasion.

Pestilence is very useful given the "weakest" creature is Thriving Turtle whose toughness can be buffed.

Instants

Keep Watch gives you card advantages in your "defensive" turns.

Sorceries

Die Young is a good removal given the amount of energy you can produce.

Live Fast gives you card advantage and also produces energy.

Finishers

The idea of this deck is to slowly build up your army of turtles by repelling early incursions with your tough turtles while generating the energy you need to buff your Thriving Turtle s and Shipwreck Moray s supported by Hightide Hermit s. To damage your opponent you can either sneak through enemy forces with Aqueous Form with the support of the Consulate Turret s while taking advantage of their attacks with Keep Watch or clean the board with Pestilence .
