I was convinced by a friend to build and play a Pauper deck, so here's my first attempt. I was looking at the creatures' cardpool and the Rebel tribe caught my attention (my first deck was a UW Rebels, back in 2000). So I assembled a W/B build that uses the 2 guys (as said in the title, I'll use the Modern cardpool, since my playgroup uses it due to balancing issues) that fetch Rebels, which are Blightspeaker and Amrou Scout, combined with Rathi Trapper and enchantment-based removal to make a Prison effect and stall aggro decks.
As this list is a Midranged one, the Sideboard features instant removal and protection (Doom Blade and Undying Evil) in case it faces a faster aggro list, and Duress when facing control/combo lists.
I've always been interested in trying a Rebel deck, but never got around to looking into it. This deck looks fun and pretty strong.
If you find yourself in need of more "Rebels" you can look into the Changelings like Skeletal Changeling. It may not be good if you can't find space for it, but an Ethereal Armor on a guy with Regen can be tough to deal with! Moonglove Changeling could get nasty too! First strike AND deathtouch could be crazy! But if he's pumped big the deathtouch won't be too relevant.
I actually play a mono white rebels list at my LGS and have had very good results.
There is another thread here I have been following and I posted my decklist over a month ago. It has changed so I will post the new one as soon as I can
Unfortunately, he's playing Modern Pauper, so his choices are very restricted when it comes to Rebels. He almost has to play WB for the Blightspeaker. All the good rebels are at 3 mana. This is why I find there isn't much to be said about his deck; he has all the good Modern cards there already.

Since Rebels can fetch the pseudo-removal Bound in Silence, I'll use other enchantments (Journey to Nowhere and Oblivion Ring) to pump up Ethereal Armor and explore Steadfast Guard's Vigilance, Aven Riftwatcher's Flying and Zealot Il-Vec's Shadow to finish the other player.

Here's my list:
8 Plains
2 Swamp
4 Terramorphic Expanse
4 Orzhov Guildgate
2 Orzhov Basilica
2 Quicksand
Creatures (24)
4 Amrou Scout
4 Blightspeaker
4 Rathi Trapper
4 Steadfast Guard
4 Aven Riftwatcher
4 Zealot Il-Vec
4 Ethereal Armor
4 Journey to Nowhere
4 Bound in Silence
2 Oblivion Ring
4 Doom Blade
4 Duress
2 Undying Evil
2 Divine Offering
2 Echoing Decay
1 Apostle's Blessing
Any suggestions/improvements (considering Modern cardpool, of course)?
