Help against my local meta
Pauper forum

So i need a little help to build a new deck to play against my local meta which consists of a lot of MB Controls, a lot of MU Delvers, a few goblins and one kuldotha jeskai and one familiar. The MBC usually dominate the meta but the guy with the kuldotha is most of the time the winner, the guys with the goblins usually make to top 3 every now and then but in the end the meta is dominated by kuldotha, MBC and a few delvers. I play with an aura hexproof deck that usually performs well against the goblins and the delvers but it's crushed by the MBC, i've never played against the guy with the kuldotha and the familiar.
I've found Journey to Nowhere as a 3 of in the mainboard deals with the deck's main issues, the Anglers. A detrimental flaw against MBC with Bogles is its straight up weakness to Edicts, which the MBC decks load up on. It may seem slow, but I run 3 Khalni Garden to give myself creatures to sac, alongside 2 Fists of Ironwood. Post board against MBC, Mana Tithe helps to deal with the Turn 2 Cuombajj Witches, that can be a real killer if it sticks.
Hope this is at all helpful

I play a similar deck to yours. I play GW Heroic. You'll want 4 Khalni Gardens. I used to use Fists of Ironwood. The problem is that MBC will kill your creature in response to you playing it. Young Wolf is much better sac fodder than the fists. I hope this helps. I know your pain.

I haven't really played GW Hexproof, but have run several decks featuring Rancor, which is a great weapon against MBC. The problem is that you don't always draw one, and MBC can occasionally kill it with discard abilities. 1-2 Bonesplitter might help the matchup, and it would add significant and consistent value to stuff like Khalni Garden. It's also a decent hedge against stuff like Multani's Decree in other matches.
