Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
It wasn't my intention but ultimately this deck was built as pauper deck. It's an aggro control deck relying on level-up creatures and Venerated Teacher to beat your opponent. I stumbled upon this card while searching for blue creatures to add to my pauper cube.

[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.

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

How to Play

As the level-up abilitys of your creatures are far to expensive to be used consistently, the key-creature to this deck is [[Venerated Teacher]] in combination with [[Cloudshift]]. With e.g. [[Ikiral Outrider]] on the battlefield, you play one teacher, Cloudshift him (2x ETB trigger) and you got yourself a 3/10 creature with vigilance, and this should at least slow most pauper other decks. [[Brainstorm]] should help to get those cards into your hand and control what you draw.

Thrummingbird reprinted common in Modern Masters 2015 and Fuel for the cause counter target spell and proliferate . Need some Plains to get those white creatures out. This is my primary pauper deck, lots of fun.

Totally forgot about the manabase. That's the problem when you built a deck and don't finish it immediately ;)
Thank you for the suggestions, I will take a look at those and also look for some other proliferate spells.
