After a while I decided I needed a new deck. Something to change it up a bit.
I took apart my old Thraximundar and was left over with some powerful cards.
Then I realized I was broke so I needed to build a cheap deck. From my Thraximundar deck I salvaged a great deal of the commons and started to browse the web. I soon came upon d0su's Pauper Child of Alara deck. I notice I had the vast majority of these cards so I went to work.
While I tried not to copy d0su's list verbatum I found it was very obvious that the reason most of the cards were there was because they worked.
I've seen a few of these decklists online and decide to take a crack at it.
This is probably one of the most fun decks I've ever played. Theres also the "my cards cost a fraction of what yours do and they're kicking your @$$" factor as well.
-----------------
On a side note,
I hate the art for Child of Alara. It isn't inherently bad but I just can't stand it. I would love to have it altered or even alter is myself but I don't know what to change it to. I need something that screams "My death means the death of us all!!!". Any and all suggestions are welcome.
-----------------
So here's the list. I am open to comments, questions, suggestions, of all kinds.
