Today’s look at the Pauper League 5-0 decks has a decidedly Golgari bend, Let’s get to it.
I love what this deck is trying to do. Ichor Drinker might not be Sacred Cat but it passes through Basilisk Gate nearly as well (while also being immune to Snuff Out on the front half). Stitch it together with a light Food engine (would Candy Trail be better than Golden Egg here?) and you have a recipe for a deck I am sure to test out and somehow make worse.
I am very high on damage prevention effects at the moment and this Golgari Fog deck is pretty neat. The deck is light on win condition, leaning on Crypt Rats in a big way, as well as a single Mirkwood Bats to turn all those Heap Gate Treasures into damage. As much as I love the idea behind this deck I doubt that I have the patience to play this one but if you do, more power to you for sure.
This list, from my Pauper Format Panel colleague, is another take on the Golgari stall strategy. We see copies of Moment’s Peace again and tons of ways to gain life, including Fangren Marauder. This, however, feels like a deck that could benefit from Heap Gate and the excess Treasures it creates because the one of the few things better than making a Treasure is gaining five life off of sacrificing it.
