Title name is a joke off of BG Rock and Threshold, so I'm naming it Thrash after the music genre.
With the new Divest and the glut of good threshold cards I decided to see if the Rock style of high redundancy, high consistency midrange would work in pauper. The deck is pretty dang good so far, lots of things that could be trimmed up but it is disruptive and consistent enough to tank delver, fast enough to race burn, and mongoose cooks control decks. The amount of graveyard hate has gone down recently as well so it doesn't have to worry as much about being blown out by relics.
The side is very iffy, and two of the mainboard choices could probably be swapped. Dead weight I picked over other 1 drop removal because commune can tutor for it, and rootwalla is there for mongrel and because it is very efficient aggro early game.
