Thanks for the list !
Will build one RG and report back on my play testing.
Cheers !

Thanks.
My friend played Faithless Looting, which I think is good.
Yup, RG does not have counter, board wipe, protection or creature removal.
Will dig through my friend's card pile and play test it.
One thing I like about pauper is the more choices it has compared to rare, as the common and uncommon cards are much more than rare cards.

Dear Shakespeare,
I had a good time with your Esper Merieke deck, and looking for RG colors deck.
Will try out the deck and report on my testings

Played with some rare cards in the deck. And I must say Cyclonic Rift is a key card.

Played with the pauper version and outlast 2 other players, with final showdown against a player with Kessig Cage breaker in play.
I made a mistake of casting Faith's Fetters on his Cage Breaker, followed by Sea Gate Oracle, netting me Demonic tutor, for Echoing truth against his wolf tokens, but with no mana left to cast it.
I should cast Sea Gate Oracle, to draw a card first, and leave mana open for Echoing truth.
Moral(for a noob like me) : Draw cards first before doing other things, this leaves us with more options.
Seems that I wont have to use a rare deck against my group anytime soon, until I can improve my skills.
Thanks for the deck list again !

Ya, agree that the deck should not be too narrow .
Hope to try the rare deck against them and see how it goes .

Played a few games against 5cc and monoblack, and Mardu clan.
The few key cards locking down me are :
1. Dovescape – which I added in Ronom unicorn.
2. Omniscience – added in Erase.
3. Ruric Thar and Ob Nixilis Unshackled – using Merieke to control.
4. Stranglehold – to use Volition Reins to control.
I will try to use Shakespeare's rare edh deck to test against them next time, as the pauper EDH deck seems to have some limitations against certain decks.

Yup, Echoing Truth is a good card against tokens.
As my group can only use common or uncommon for the General, I can only put in Windwright Mage, with its occasional flying ability with some artifacts in the graveyard.
I have to admit there are just some decks that pauper EDH finds difficulty in handling
However, friends have been pleasantly( or unpleasantly ? ) surprised by the synergy of the deck
Will update my future results.

Cheers !

A friend challenged me, and I stumbled upon Shakespeare's thread.
I started out with artifacts, but ended up using the merieke decklist as my base.

It started when a friend challenged me to build a pauper EDH, where all cards must be from commons and uncommons only, including the general.
I stumbled on this forum, and substituted a few cards.
The first playtest I was attacked to death by Mono green, with Howl of the Nightpack and Overun.
So I added in Congregate, Exanguinate and Aetherize.
Against Monoblack, I was able to Voilition Rein his Geth Lord, and used it against him for the win. I controlled my graveyard and his grave yard with Feldons Cane and Tormod's Crypt.
Against GW Trostani, I was able to win using Congregate, Exanguinate and Aetherize.
Against UR Nizzet Firedrinker, I was able to disrupt his combo by using Eyeblight's Ending, and stall for the win.
But against Shaarom, I lost 2 games, due to Grand Arbiter Augustine IV. The effect, coupled by his land ramp, costed me the games. I already banned him from playing that card against my pauper EDH, haha.

Thanks for the inspiration !
