Talking about infect, I want to make a 'non'-infect deck and, as a surprise, cast Tainted Strike :P As much as I hate infect, that is the one play I'm slightly ok with. It's the same as casting a double strike instant (in most cases) [ Double Cleave comes to mind].

Another card that would be a staple in my aggro decks, if I owned more than 1, is Mutagenic Growth (should get someone to add 3 to an order for me)
I keep forgetting Rancor's price. I own a set and it goes into almost every aggro deck I make without a second thought. Just did a quick search of gatherer. The 3 best options, imo, would be Unnatural Predation ($0,13e); Fists of Ironwood ($0,16e); or Horned Helm ($0,15e). Hope that helps.
Setessan Oathsworn is possibly the most broken heroic creature at its rarity and doesn't seem to see as much play as it deserves. Seeds of Strength would be awesome in here, but let's not forget Rancor for trample and Prey Upon for removal. Bioshift also make for a fun combat trick.
I got a question about the rules. In terms of the number of copies, what about cards that have prints at different levels? eg. Doom Blade is originally a common, but M14 bumped it up to an uncommon. eg.2 The original 5 planeswalkers are originally rares, but got bumped up to Mythic in every other print. Do we treat it the same way Pauper treats commons? ie If at any time it's printed as the lower rarity, it counts as that rarity for this format. And about the original 5 planeswalkers, I believe if the Mythic rarity existed when they were printed, they would have been printed as such. So, shouldn't they specifically be banned? I think it's a little unfair that they are allowed when the others aren't.
Kind of sad that Seething Song is banned in Modern :( Do you have enough draw? I think maybe adding one or two more Faithless Looting might be good. Yes, it has flashback, but I'd rather pay 1 than 3 for the dig (assuming Past in Flames hasn't been cast yet).
I know right. Been wanting to do a Boros landfall deck for Pauper, but my current Pauper project is Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond. Boros has to wait :|
You know what works nicely with Dust Drinker? Ghostly Prison :P And you're in luck, there's 4 white cards with the prison's effect: Ghostly Prison Windborn Muse Sphere of Safety Norn's Annex
2 Boros Garrison would work nicely in here :P
The name of the deck made me comment :P Agent of the Fates seems a little useless here, you don't have enough target to make it work properly. Dictate of Erebos would cover the role better in here. At 7 mana (of which 3 is solid green), Hornet Queen is a little too expensive. I'd take the queen out and bring Sedge Scorpion and Typhoid Rats up to 4x each. Lastly, 28 lands seems a little much. 24 max, or you'll waste turns just drawing lands.
That's the problem most combo decks have, either they hit or they miss. That's why I suggested Kiki-Jiki, it increases the chances to 'hit'.
Not an infinite combo, if it was, I would have tagged the deck so.
Running the Sprout Swarm secondary 'combo' doesn't leave much space for anything else :(
Interesting build. How does it run?
Naturalise is, more often than not, a sideboard card, so yes, put Rancor in its place.
No Rancor? Their M price is only $1.49 each, so not that expensive. Also, where's the Giant Growth?
You can never have enough Wolfir Silverheart. On multiple occasions, I've managed to bond two Silverhearts together, making them awesome 12/12's :P And that's while they were Standard legal. (Though, most of the time I won by bonding the Silverheart to Silverblade Paladin) On a more serious note, I'd probably take Kruin Outlaw down to 3x; add in a set of Reckless Waif (this one is a must); take Full Moon's Rise up to 4x; and maybe add about 3x Instigator Gang. You should be able to drop to 23 or 22 lands too (maybe drop 1 forest).
Huntmaster of the Fells and Immerwolf are not friends. Huntmaster wants to flip both ways as often as possible, Immerwolf stops him from doing that.
Well, I guess I'm lucky my group has yet to think about using it. Thanks for the warning.
