So, ever since i discovered the Martyr of Sands decks people have been running on modern, i have had some desire to port it to pauper. I searched for old pauper decks with the Martyr, but most were standard. So i decided to try this. All cards in the deck, except Grim Harvest, is white. Grim Harvest is essencial to loop the Martyr.
Creatures
4 Martyr of Sands
3 Guardian of the Guildpact
3 Kor Skyfisher
4 Squadron Hawk
4 Blind Hunter
4 Aven Riftwatcher
4 Shrieking Grotesque
Other Spells
3 Grim Harvest
4 Castigate
4 Unmake
Lands
1 Kabira Crossroads
2 Orzhov Basilica
2 Terramorphic Expansion
11 Plains
7 Swamps
Curve looks like this:
1 oooo
2 oooooooooooooo
3 oooooooooooo
4 ooooooo
So, there are some interesting intecarctions:
Aven Riftwatcher is able to trigger Grim HArvest all by itself, and it is a great targe late game. The same can be said about Martyr of Sands. Squardon Hawks also have a neat interaction with Martyr of Sands, since they paint your hand white. Kor Skyfisher looks realy good, since he can reset Aven Riftwatchers, take profit from Shireking Grotesques, Blind Hunters, and the singleton Kabira Crossroads.
Since the deck should be able to hold aggro, i decided to focus the maindeck into disruption, with 7 discard maindeck, but im still unsure if i should add Duress.
A couple of questions:
Should i cut a Grim Harvest?
Should i include Sanctum Gargoyle and executioners Capsule for tricks or its too cute? One thing that really interests me in the the Garygole is the fact that they can loop, but i think its too cute anyway.
Should i up the Guardian of the Guildpact count to 4?
Anything else, please comment. I need help with this.
