[MTG] monored.pauper.dek

So tomorrow I'm going to a local Magic event where there's a Pauper tournament going on. I am confident in my chances, simply because of how relaxed most people going are. (And by relaxed, I mean they don't take Magic very seriously...like at all. :P)

So I thought to myself, "What deck can I play that will just win?" Initially, I thought of monoblack, because I once built a Pauper deck using just black Limited dudes in a Casual game with some friends' Constructed decks, so I thought I'd go with what I knew, then I remembered; Lightning Bolt's a common. From there, I went to work.

The event allows one rare and 4 uncommons. So, with that, I came up with this.

-4- Creatures

-4- Keldon Marauders

-36- Other Spells

-4- Lightning Bolt
-4- Rift Bolt
-4- Lava Spike
-4- Fireblast
-4- Searing Blaze
-4- Shard Volley
-1- Sulfuric Vortex
-3- Burst Lightning
-4- Staggershock
-4- Magma Jet

-20- Lands

-20- Mountain

-15- Sideboard

-4- Red Elemental Blast
-4- Smash to Smithereens
-7- Pending

(I left it up to my friend, who's supplying me the cards, to make me a sideboard. He knows the card pool better than me. :$)

I'm also unable to run Chain Lightning in this deck because my friend doesn't have any. Shame, I could've called this 15bolts.dek if that were the case. :P

Let me know what you think! =]

Looks pretty good.

I've always been a fan of pauper. =D

I thought it was 5 uncommons, but apparently they're more relaxed about it... Magma Jets are really good.

I thought of Lash Out, but I'm not sure if you want to play something that doesn't go to the head. It does give deck control, a modicum of it, but it deals only to a creature if you lose the clash.

Realistically, the only damage I can ever see going to creatures is a chumper thrown in front of Marauders (MAYBE on the draw, trades will be involved), and Searing Blaze, which has the bonus of hitting the dome as well.

Yep, that's what I thought.

I am not sure what I feel about Shard Volley vs Burst Lightning.
