Wanted to build around two of my favorite bad cards from my favorite bad block -- Kami of Fire's Roar and Kami of the Hunt from the original Kamigawa block.

These cards generally have no place in constructed Magic anymore. They're too expensive and too underpowered. But Pauper is a format where that's mitigated a bit since most every card in the format is low powered or overcosted.

This Gruul aggro build focuses on playing spirit and arcane spells to boost our creatures (Kami of the Hunt, Blademane Baku), find more mana (Elder Pine of Jukai, Petalmane Baku) or making our creatures more evasive (Kami of Fire's Roar). Glitterfang is a real great enabler for these payoffs as it can come back to our hand every turn just to be played again and again, avoiding dead draws.

We can also splice a number of our arcane cards for extra value, or pull them out of the yard with Hana Kami for a bit of card advantage.

Ultimately, once a Kami of Fire's Roar is down, we'd want to play a couple of cheap spells like Lava Spike or the mana-positive Desperate Ritual to shut down the opponent's blockers, then swing in with one or more creatures buffed by a Path of Anger's Flame or a Devouring Rage.

It's a real one-trick pony. And even that one trick isn't all that great. But hey, it's a Kamigawa limited pauper deck. You take what you can get.
