I'll check later to see if the numbers for everything are correct, since I put this up by memory.

This is a pauper (commons only) style deck that is really important to me.
Aside from being the first pauper deck I ever made, it was the sign of me really returning to the game since my hiatus after Champions of Kamigawa. I found a 70% MtG shop by what used to be my main shopping mall and they had a box of unsorted cards from the sets that I had missed (well, not so much Ravnica, but a lot of the Scars expansion and less of the two before).

I originally used Dark Favors, but when I realized that I needed to branch out from the Scars expansion to make it truly shine, I did my research and found Sinister strength all the way back from Planeshift.

How does the deck work? Here is a typical game:
Turn one: Swamp to Tormented Soul.
Turn two: Swamp and tap both for a Phyresis, one poison counter.
Turn three: Swamp, tap all to drop a Duty-Bound Dead and a Sinister Strength for the Soul, swing for five poison counters (6 total).
Turn four: Drop is irrelevant, swing for at least five poison counters, ending the game.

If I get a Plague Stinger instead of a Tormented Soul+Phyresis, I drop the Duty-Bound Dead first turn and the Stinger second turn and then do the creature power up turn three and four.

The deck is worth, as you notice, next to nothing monetarily but it is disgustingly fast and can honestly go up against most of my decks and stand at least a fair chance (I say most, because a Rune of Protection Black second turn can ruin this deck's day).

I can't wait to get this into a tournament, as the initial third party tests have been very one-sided in this deck's favor.

 

My hope for those viewing this deck is that it will inspire you to try pauper, play more MtG, or at least realize that it doesn't take $100 to make a good deck.
