Does anyone recall if there has been any Martyr decks in pauper?

The card is too good not to have been used at some point. I personally don't remember anything specific though.
Thing is, there's no benefit in Pauper for having a high life total, short of simply being harder to kill. In other formats you have things like Feldar Sovereign, Serra Ascendant or Test of Endurance which can be used as an alternate path to victory. Not so here.
Still, the upside is probably good enough in a creature heavy meta. Gaining 9-12 life can be very difficult for some decks to handle. Maybe some kind of W/U control deck?

Seems legit to me. The U/W control idea has merit, but it also has me thinking about W splash B, and using cards like Unearth.

I personally haven't tried to build a deck with her in the past. But I'm sure it could be done. The only problem I see is how to bring her back every turn.
Might be a nice deck to try building for the podcast one of these days.

I play Martyr-Proc in Modern and really like it, so I tried porting it to Pauper. Best recursion I could come up with is using Trinket Mage in a UW build to fetch Feldon's Cane. The only thing I didn't like about it was that Cane gets exiled, instead of shuffling back into the deck for continuous recursion. I ended up cutting the Martyrs and ended up with a list more similar to nyukon's baby caw-blade list.

Ya know what we could try to do? A Wub Cloudpost deck with Grim harvest and Martyr of Sands. I'm gonna try that out actually.
Thank you to highgene for the idea.

We have discussed modern martyr in this thread: paupertothepeople.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=modern&action=display&thread=329&page=2And I am actually very interested to invest in building one. Could you share your list and thoughts there?
