Long time, no post everyone. I am back.
In my absence, I was testing a domain list on cockatrice to mild success. The deck itself is a midrange deck that basically plays the best spells in pauper.
Here is the list:
Lands
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Forest
4 Island
5 Mountain
2 Plains
1 Swamp
4 Terramorphic Expanse
Creatures
4 Matca Rioters
4 Guardian of the Guildpact
4 Mulldrifter
Instants//Sorceries
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Tribal Flames
4 Mana Leak
4 Brainstorm
1 Evolution Charm
Artifacts
3 Serrated Arrows
4 Prophetic Prism
SB:
3 Ancient Grudge
3 Protective Sphere
2 Opaline Bracers
3 Blue Elemental Blast
3 Relic of Progenitus
1 Evolution Charm
Card Selection:
Creatures:
Matca Rioters- A 5/5 for 3 sounds a lot like another card that costs 1 cheaper. Beats face very well. Blocks affinity.
Guardian of the Guildpact- Often named "One of the best creatures in the format" Very hard to kill. Bonus points for being a house with Opaline Bracers.
Mulldrifter- The best creature in the format. Draw is something this deck needs; this can make that happen.
Instants//Sorceries:
Lightning Bolt- One of the most versatile removal spells ever.
Tribal Flames- I love to kill Spire Golems with this. Very good- One time I dealt 18 points of burn to my opponent to steal a game with 3 of these and a Lightning Bolt.
Mana Leak- Sometimes you just need to say "NO" and this is the card to do that. Very versatile and can take out many threats. Also is necessary when playing Delver Blue.
Brainstorm- With 8 shuffling effects, this can really smooth out draws. I often keep 2-landers and a Brainstorm.
Evolution Charm- This card is the definition of utility. Wanna smooth out your mana? Wanna send a Matca Rioters over the top? Wanna recur a Mulldrifter or other creature in a grindy matchup? No problem. This card almost does it all.
Artifacts:
Serrated Arrows- Arrows is good because you can cast it no matter what mana you have on your side of the board. Is great for stopping aggro decks and buys you many turns.
Prophetic Prism- This and Protective Sphere is just GG for some decks (especially against midrange or control). Helps you fix your mana and cantrips. Essential for this deck. One problem that this brings up though is that you either leave up Mana Leak or cast this on turn 2. That is a tough decision to make.
Any suggestions? I am mainly looking for ways to stop those hard core aggro decks, i.e. Stompy, Goblins, etc. My MU against those is about 40/60. Against MBC its 60/40 and Delver Blue its 55/45.
Oh, and get this app!!! chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autocardanywhere/eobkhgkgoejnjaiofdmphhkemmomfabg?hl=en
