Deck Description

I am playing this deck in a Pauper league with friends; the power level is pretty high. I love the synergies offered by Cavern Harpy; shadow creatures wielding Bonesplitters came naturally to me reviewing my favourite commons.

Deck discussion for Brethren of Dagon

Not bad, the Aggro tag is appropriate. Low on defense... a little burn deck could eat it up. But I like the Shadow attack.

Thanks for the comment!

Indeed, this deck has vulnerabilities. I guess I could adjust the sideboard with more counters to balance against a burn deck. Do you have suggestions? What would you see in there?

For all the Shadow creatures, a Bident of Thassa or any older equivalent like Coastal Piracy would be great for acceleration. Cipher would also be awesome, Shadow would fire off a Cipher spell every turn. As far as defense against burn goes... hmm... maybe the Eel Umbra or "Flicker" spells like Turn to Mist or Ghostly Flicker. It would save your creature and re-trigger there entry abilities. Maybe some Shroud or Hexproof... Robe of Mirrors or Shielding Plax.

Also... I don't know what Pauper is, so maybe all my card suggestions don't work.

Pauper is an Online format that uses only Commons; cards that were Common at any point in time are legal in the format, even if they were later reprinted as Uncoms, so most of your suggestions are not legal in this format.

Cipher is a great idea! I am looking at Hands of Binding, Last Thoughts and Shadow Slice, I'll have to playtest before I actually include any of those.

Thanks again!

Whoo! Glad I wasn't completely useless. I've got a nasty deck called Unblockable Bullshit full of Cipher. And now I know Pauper. Thanks.

I have just dicovered Sigil of Sleep, which is even better than most of the Cipher cards I had included. Just had to get myself a playset, can't wait to playtest this version!

Thank you for the comment!

I like the suggestion, not sure how to slip it in there though. The Bonesplitters are more versatile because they stay on the Battlefield if the creature dies, Auras are so fragile...

its just the thing for the extra attack point if, because they could also destroy the bonesplitter or an other enchantment dark favor is just for the speed.

I like your definition of "funny"!

I thought about including Crypt Rats as a sideboard option in case I am facing a Weenie, but in order to deal 2 damge to each creature I would require 5 mana, while Evincar's Justice does the same for 4 plus damges the players and has buyback (although I rarely have the mana for that). In order for Crypt rats to be efficient against ramp I need 8 lands, which is just not realistic IMO.

Still, thank youfor reminding me to include Evincar's Justice!

The benefit of Hidden Strings seems somewhat reduced if the creatures I am untapping cannot block because they have Shadow... Following gon184's suggestion above I have included Hands of Binding and Last Thoughts, can't wait to test that!
