Deck Description

[u]Basic idea[/u]
I wanted to create a token deck, but not with a large number of weak tokens, but fewer but larger ones.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other pauper decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

[u]Conclusions from the tests[/u]
The deck felt a little bit clumsy and slow. Also [[Wake the Reflections]] is the only populate spell without additional effects while [[Rootborn Defenses]] and [[Druid's Deliverance]] are more for defensive actions and I often ended keeping them in my hand, waiting for such an opportunity... which never came and I lost the game for not using them. [[Giantbaiting]] also felt clumsy and I'm replacing 2 of it with [[Elephant Guide]].

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

The idea for this deck came when looking at [[Giantbaiting]] and thinking of [[Wake the Reflections]]: You get 2 tokens with haste, but loose only 1 at the end of the turn. [[Shadowbeast Sighting]] is another source for a 4/4 token, the rest of the deck "only" delivers 3/3 tokens. Use [[Stampeding Elk Herd]] to give them evasion and trample through your opponents defence.
