Out: Rotting Rats Symetric discard not as good as what Mesmeric Fiend provides. Ravenous Rats Just outclassed by Burglar Rat. Augur of Bolas Undeniably a good card in the right deck, just whiffed to much in this one. Undying Evil One shot Recur while good/fun is surpassed by the raw power of the Hymn. Snap This deck runs more than enough bounce effects, just a tad more removal was needed. Repluse Good card, but i've found that instant bounce spells needs to hit more than creatures. Exclude Another Good card, but the options granted by Merchant Scroll are way more powerful. Altar's Reap Always a nice surprise, but you have to wait for that window of opportunity.
In: Mesmeric Fiend Very nasty little card, gives information while disrupting an opponent,
some people have absolute ***** fits when I use this little $0.10 card on them. Burglar Rat Far superior to Ravenous Rats. This is the sister card to Liliana's Specter. Slum Reaper Finally, an ETB creature with a true Fleshbag Marauder effect for pauper. Hymn to Tourach Should of been in since the beginning, such an evil/crippling card.
Everyone has a plan... until they get Hymn'd. Chainer's Edict Should of been in since the beginning, a tenaciously effective card. Boomerang Overall this has proven to be superior to Repulse in all situations. Merchant Scroll The sheer versatility of this card,.. in this deck,.. has become undeniable. Rhystic Study Straight up Raw draw power. It just puts you miles ahead of the opponent(s).
Humbler of Mortals lets you get damage through in late game protracted/stale boardstates, and as a creature/enchantment can be recurred.
You run a decent amount of enchantment/creature ramp, 6 mana shouldn't really be an issue with your list.
Yeah, Satyr Enchanter will probably be replacing Hedge Troll as the general of my GW PDH enchantment/aura deck.
The Enchanter creates a whole new level of synergy.
I also highly recommend Kaervek's Torch and Rolling Thunder for your deck , they are the best X burn spells in Pdh, and will
provide you with some reach in finishing opponents off.
Shattering Pulse is something to consider as well,... especially if you plan on running your deck in some normal EDH games.
With over half the Dominaria set spoiled/leaked (but no card rarities listed as of yet), i'm sure
there will be some interesting card choices for Pauper EDH on the horizon.
*As for cutting down the decksize from 106, you could maybe remove some of the
non-goblin creatures and focus more on goblins, goblin tokens, cantrips,
pump and burn.

Try Primal Huntbeast over the Conifer Strider, it's more resilient making it a better target for aura buffs.
As an alternative to Bramble Elemental give Wickerbough Elder a try, he's big and carries a nice shotgun.
*** On a side note, one of my favorite non-enchantment cards that I run in my Hedge Troll deck is Horned Helm. Kind of a secondary Rancor.
It has a kind of a Sigarda-esque playstyle to it, tenacious "all-in" enchantment style voltron.
Lotus-Eye Mystics, Yavimaya Enchantress and Humbler of Mortals put in work.
River Boa and Mire Boa are both surprisingly good in these style decks.
Broken Fall and Spidersilk Armor would also serve you well.
*** Qasali Pridemage and Vines of Vastwood are 2 cards that never fail to disappoint.
Thanks Khalar89.
Yes, there are quite a few absolutely playable cards that have been released in the recent sets,
...and yes, the list still gets updated.
I intend to increase the lists to 50 Creatures/50 Non Creature spells for each color.
Input is both encouraged and welcomed from any and all Pauper EDH players.
Lawmage's Binding A Flash Arrest. Excellent card.
Shimmer of Possibility Basically a Sorcery speed Impulse. 4 card dig is 4 card dig, instant or not.
May try to include:
Clear the Mind is a powerful/rare effect for Pauper EDH being both Graveyard hate or Deck recycling.
The Enchanter creates a whole new level of synergy.
Maybe add an Opal Palace...
Anyways... For your deck, the upcoming Core 2019 Salvager of Secrets is superior to both Scrivener/Anarchist.
Might as well put Peregrine Drake in there as well, along with High Tide for some busted plays.
I also highly recommend Kaervek's Torch and Rolling Thunder for your deck , they are the best X burn spells in Pdh, and will
provide you with some reach in finishing opponents off.
Shattering Pulse is something to consider as well,... especially if you plan on running your deck in some normal EDH games.
***Neurok Stealthsuit along with Clout of the Dominus and/or Diplomatic Immunity may be worthy inclusions to keep Adeliz safe.
There are some powerful legendary Uncommon rarity Commanders coming down the pipe in Dominaria.
Some good commons of note so far for Pauper EDH.
Spore Frog has good synergy with Renegade Rallier.
Lunarch Mantle is a good aura for your deck.
Both River Boa and Mire Boa are both very effective as well in PDH.
With all those double BB rats Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx could generate copious amounts of mana for the deck.
If you wanted to break the tribal theme a little bit Gray Merchant of Asphodel would be obscene in there.
*Maybe get a little bit of card draw in there to keep things moving.
there will be some interesting card choices for Pauper EDH on the horizon.
Zada is badass, free mass replication of instants/sorceries is unique in PDH.
Off the top of my head, maybe try a few of these to support the deck:
