---

A control deck for Pauper that tries to stall the game with counterspells and removal and eventually win with Curse of the Bloody Tome or Gurmag Angler. The deck takes some time to set up its strategy, but once you have control of the game, it's very hard for your opponent to turn the game around. This deck is quite powerful and has reasonable matchups against most decks in the format. Its only weaknesses are Hexproof decks and its own low land count, and I have won numerous games with it. I'd have to say it's my favorite out of all the decks I've designed.
