Deck Description

[u]Basic idea[/u]
I already have a white pauper metalcraft deck, but I wanted to see what was possible in means of aggressive play. [[Carapace Forger]] is a force to be reckoned with and [[Galvanic Blast]] simply is too effective to overlook it, so I decided to go for Naya as colour-scheme.

[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]
I knew that the deck would be aggressive to play, but the results surprised me. Especially [[Springleaf Drum]] can help to throw creatures onto like you wouldn't believe it and helps you to get the right mana when you need it. [[Glint Hawk]] and [[Experimental Synthesizer]] means some serious card advantage, tough you need to have the right mana to cast it the moment you play it, which can be difficult.

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

How to Play

On turn 1 try to get an artifact lands onto the battlefield, best followed 1 by a [[Bonesplitter]], [[Springleaf Drum]] or [[Court Homunculus]]. This will ensure that, if you play another artifact land on turn 2, metalcraft will be active and [[Auriok Sunchaser]] or [[Carapace Forger]] will be an ugly surprise for your opponent.
If you have a [[Glint Hawk]] and a [[Experimental Synthesizer]] this means some serious card advantage for you, tough you have to keep in mind that you don't draw the card and thus must have the mana to play anything that could come out of this.

Deck discussion for W/R/G Pauper: Metalcraft

I had a deck like this drafted a few years ago, but didn't get too far with it because I was toying with quitting magic. I did end up quitting and can't find my old list sadly. I might *steal* this list and make adjustments as I see fit for my playstyle.

Mono red Red reck wins 3-4

If you want to print some proxies to give cards a try I can recommend https://www.mtg-print.com/. The got good quality images of the cards (in English) and even have some other language-version of the cards available (Although not in the same image quality). I know some people vote against proxies, but I think they're a great way of trying out different cards, before you actually buy them.
