So if someone doesn't mention that this deck needs to be for Modern Pauper or Vintage Pauper then just assume that anything is legal and they're no ban lists.
It seems that this deck is pretty intense and I have been messing around with lists trying to understand it. I am breaking into modern from legacy to play in a tourment at the end of the month. Right now I am liking the BR version but is Assault Strobe really necessary. I am arguing between it and Surgical Extraction?
The deck is pretty hard to change around because the core of the deck is so big.
Most run strobe as a two-of to act as extra surprise wins alongside tainted strike. While maybe not necessary, they sure help you win faster.
Both Surgical Extraction and Noxious Revival are not ideal replacements as you have to have legal cards in graveyards to cast them, sometimes preventing you from going off turn two.
Boarding in Surgical Extraction might be okay if you know you are going up against jund.
Erayo is to help against hate. It is more like back up if you fizzle a little bit you can grind a game to the point you combo out again or just stop them while you combo out.
A Good video for those new to this deck but, correct me if I am wrong, I think that video is about the BR version of this deck (not Erayo).
I am going to build it with negates for now. I already have those and I am trying to assemble this on a VERY limited budget.
My online game store is also out of Moment's Peace and Compulsive Research so I am not sure what I am going to run in those slots until I can order those. I know Peace is probably the most important card in the deck...
Deadeye Navigator -> Snapcaster Mage
I also recently acquired a lotus bloom that I have not yet took the time to make room for but I am excited to use for shenanigans with Tezzy.
Yes actually!
I will make an update tonight.
Except these:
Unspecified Pauper = Legacy Pauper
I saw that. I am surprised this list isn't running Manamorphose.
I like militant fine but truthfully it only gets played as another 2/1 for W in white. Green (in this cube) does not like this card.

I notice some people play gates, bounce lands and wilds/expanses. Has anyone found this helpful in a simic build or too slow?
edit to add: thread
Our group often drafts things outside our colors just because it would wreck the deck we are trying to build.

Is the extra ability to counter creatures worth the UU vs 1U? The idea is that we don't really care about their creatures right?
I am a big fan of the soltari bros deck. I am surprised to see this one so low.
