Pauper has never been a format I've really looked into.

Is it really that entertaining? Also, I know that Z has become death incarnate in that format with a control deck. Is aggro even an option in the meta?
Wizard doesn't sanction Pauper IRL, so even if you find a store which offers it you won't be getting points.

That said the best Aggro deck on Pauper right now is Affinity, you can play Goblins, Sliver or Stompy but you'll just lose to MBC.

Word.
I've won the only local Pauper event (playing DelverFiend, because who cares about the fifth turn?),
and just got a single participation point from that.

Finished 95th of 1785.

Good work! Finishing so high in a Japanese meta is fucking great

What's the status, Z?

Might try brewing some Mono White Rebels; or maybe BW Rebels.

I actually played against bw rebels in the last tourney I went to, but I beat it in 3 turns both games so I really couldn't tell you much about it. And even if I could I would doubt you could not handily outclass some 17 year old's concoction (that he admitted to putting together earlier that day).

What list are you running? I was considering adding delver to kilnclops, and thus this seems pertinent to my interests (though the idea of interacting with my opponent that much seems less than palatable)

My current list (which I have probably already posted in this thread before)
[Deck]
Dudes
4 goblin fireslinger
4 keldon marauders

Burn
4 lightning bolt
4 chain lightning
4 rift bolt
4 lava spike
4 needle drop
4 fireblast
4 flame rift
4 searing blaze

Lands
20 mountain

Board
3 electrickery
4 guerrilla tactics
4 red elemental blast
4 smash to smithereens

Oh my brothers.

Yesterday at photo's place was epic. Good food, good booze, good friends, and a goodly amount of gratuitous behavior.

[deck]
Creatures
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Kiln Fiend
4 Nivix Cyclop

Spells
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Preordain
4 Ponder
4 Gitaxian Probe
3 Distortion Strike
2 Artful Dodge
4 Apostle's Blessing

Lands
9 Islands
4 Izzet Guildgate
6 Mountain

Sideboard
3 Dispel
3 Hydroblast
3 Pyroblast
2 Vapor Snag
2 Outwit
2 Electrickery
[/deck]

Delvers put up pressure and play as an alternate win condition.
A single Fiend or Cyclop can destroy the game in a single attack as soon as the third turn, provided they get paired with a spell that prevents them from being blocked and Assault Strobe.
Apostle's Blessing can let one of those beasts strike freely without being blocked and/or protects our board.
Preordain and Ponder shape your hand like you want it to be, while Gitaxian Probe lets you decide how to properly kill your opponent.

The sideboard is pretty random, I usually
end up removing the four bolts in order to bring him some help against the opposing sideboard.
I lack experience in the format, and in the only games I played I ended up just wanting to protect my combo.

6-1.

I am just burned out on Standard; played way too much for two months. Just need a break to play some different formats. Also, drawing 50 cards a game is addictive.

And I just remembered I need to send S_M some mead too, so this really works out!

The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Figure of Destiny. Always be Figure of Destiny.
