Pauper fever has hit Mtg Iloilo community once again. The first tournament was a success with 15 participants. Various archetypes were explored, with Mono White Aggro emerged victorious. Another tournament is then scheduled this coming Sunday and I am hoping I can finally get to join it. Anyway, with Magic 2013 going legal tomorrow, I am pretty sure a lot of new commons is added to be used for the pauper decks. Here is my first decklist for the format:

Mono Black Aggro by Mark Ian Alloso
Lands
1 Haunted Fengraf
19 Swamp

Creatures
3 Porcelain Legionnaire
1 Undead Executioner
4 Highborn Ghoul
4 Ravenous Rats
4 Liliana’s Shade
3 Phyrexian Rager
3 Perilous Myr
3 Gravedigger
1 Moriok Replica

Spells
1 Sign in Blood
1 Skeletal Grimace
2 Murder
1 Undying Evil
1 Tragic Slip
4 Geth’s Verdict
4 Doom Blade

As what Black does best, control the opponent’s critters with spot removal and discard while you set up your own and finish them with intimidating Highborn Ghouls or pumped up Liliana’s Shades. A few of the one-ofs are just for situational use. Sideboard is not yet finalized, I apologize for that.

Let me know what you think of the deck. Just hit the comments below.

Until next post!
