I'm looking to build a little pauper deck collection in paper form so my friends and I can just grab some decks and play. So far I've got a pretty huge list of decks and I'm trying to figure out which ones to build first.

R Goblins
G Stompy
U Delver
B Mono-black Control
UB Angler Delver
UB Teachings
UR Izzet Blitz
GU Freed from the Real http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/freed-from-the-real-aleco-pors-2nd-place/
GW Midnight Gond / Soul Sisters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8HfW6luYGQ
GW Slivers
WRG Bogles
URG Affinity
WUR Jeskai Kuldotha
UBR Eggs
GWB Tortured Existence

I thought I'd start with the bold decks to get the most variety, but I'm not sure. Anyone have suggestions or additions? And yes, I realize GW Slivers may not be super competitive but it's going to be my dumb pet deck.

If you want to add W to the list, the White Weenie deck seems to be pretty competitive thanks to Elite Vanguard and Thraben Inspector. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/pauper-w-29490

Freed from the Real seems like a sweet as hell deck.
I'll probably do something like that deck or a derpy Rebels deck for mono-white at some point.

Agreed, Freed from the Real looks silly yet dope.

Depending on your friends group you may want to put Elves over Stompy, since some people love Elves and huge/huge kills.
Noted. I'll poll them and see if anyone has preferences.

Hot take: UWR Metalcraft is a really bad deck. Build Grixis Metalcraft instead.
Something like this?

Teaching seems like a decent control deck, but I can see bogles being unfun.

For what it's worth, I decided the first four pauper decks I'm building are mono black control, Izzet blitz, affinity, and white weenie. I'll add to this collection in a week or two with something like Angler-Delver, Elves, and that goofy Freed from the Real combo deck. Whee, cheap decks!

Is there a good control deck on pauper? I have some midrange, combo, and aggro decks buy mono B just isn't able to keep up. I saw some weird Myr Servitor deck but it looks kind of janky.

I'm going to put together a tron deck since the recent bannings made like 4 of my pauper box decks illegal (rip). I could use help picking a list/tron archetype, though.

I don't really want to do mono-green since the big draw for me in tron is Mulldrifter, Dinrova Horror, etc. The idea of ramping into Ulamog's Crusher is appealing, but not necessary. I found this list and I'm leaning toward starting with it: http://pauperwave.altervista.org/playing-tron-with-fire-ice/

I like that it has actual wincons (Dinrova beats, Rolling Thunder) instead of just boring the opponent to death or trying to win with a 2/2 flyer. Any feedback from you pauper wizards?


[edit] Are tron lists off of Ancient Stirrings these days? Or is that only in lists with stuff like Wretched Griff/Ulamog's Crusher so your stirrings can hit tron/artifacts/threat?

Good point about Fire//Ice. Would something like this build be better in your opinion?

Amusingly, my search for recent pauper tron chatter on the internet found a reddit thread from like 3 days ago where multiple people linked your YouTube channel and said to do what you do. I guess the real Hellsau move is to not play :v:
