Pauper Magic Deck Strategies

My friends and day shift colleagues have been playtesting Pauper decks on MWS in preparation for our upcoming month ender Pauper Magic tournament. The five of them started playtesting last week, holding mini tourneys every afternoon. So far, they have come up with great deck ideas for the tournament. Check out some of their build below.

UB Midrange by Oliver
(3-0) Jan. 13, 2009 mini tournament
Maindeck
4 Terramorphic Expanse
10 Island
9 Swamp

4 Pestermite
4 Mulldrifter
2 Warren Pilferers
4 Festering Goblin
4 Phyrexian Rager
1 Fencer Clique
4 Spellstutter Sprite
4 Rendclaw Trow

4 Agony Warp
4 Nameless Inversion
1 Snakeform
1 Turn to Mist

Sideboard
1 Snakeform
1 Turn to Mist
4 Consign to Dream
3 Festercreep
4 Negate
2 Terror

This UB list seems to really abuse the true nature of Blue Black decks. A few card advantage, counters and creature kills can do the trick. Next is the UW Faes list created and piloted by Sarsi.
