I'm playing a grixis deck in peasant and I often find myself on the losing end of too many creatures. I've been running Far // Away as my uncommon (with a Mystical Tutor as #5), however sometimes the abundance of 3/3s is a bit too much for me. Is there anything with more kick than the Infest variants or Evincar's Justice at the common/uncommon slot?
Wow, for some reason I misremembered Pestilence as a rare. That will help significantly. Breath of Darigaz and Street Spasm will be quite useful, however I'm mostly U/B with a splash of red for Lightning Bolt.
We have a few people running Mother of Runes and/or Apostle's Blessing. I have Nausea in the sideboard to deal with Mother, but I was hoping for some form of -x/-x for my mainboard.
There aren't any so protection will be a problem. Barter in Blood can help get around protection, but it only gets rid of two creatures and they're of your opponent's choice.
It used to be very common knowledge for everyone playing Pauper during the time Empty the Warrens was around that every colour had a way of dealing with mass creatures.
White has Holy Light,
Blue has Echoing Truth (only really a board wipe versus tokens),
Black has Nausea (or take your pick; there are several) or Echoing Decay (for the instant speed),
Red has Electrickery (again, there are several other choices),
Green has Sandstorm.
If we're talking actual board wipes, clearing the entire board of creatures, there are no full on Wrath of God cards at Common as far as I know. Pestilence is probably your best bet, and Swirling Sandstorm is the closest you'll get to a low-costing, high-damage spell.

One of my favorites for pauper in black is Gangrenous Zombies. It requires that you run snow swamps but it can catch people off guard. Adds 2 to devotion, and recurring it just adds value.

My finishers include Ulamog's Crusher as my finisher, with Cloud of Faeries, Spellstutter Sprite, and Mulldrifter as backup/early defense.

At uncommon, I am a HUGE fan of Pyroclasm. But Breath of Darigaaz is also great, as suggested by Evermour.

Unearth is a great friend for Gangrenous Zombies.
