Deck Description

Gardens without Hunter. This way getting to the late game is easier, and winning while there takes longer, but that barely matters when you are this stacked with card advantage.

The siebeboard makes the deck:
Ancient Grudge trades with Refurbished Familiar 1-for-1.
Spellbomb ensures Blood Fountains and Archeomancers don't grind us out (and Lothleth Giants don't cosplay as a fireball)
Fangren Marauder for Madness Burn and affinity, as both can simply Weather a... Weather a Storm, which is present for burn of course.
Drown in Sorrow because Elves and Goblins and Inspectors.

How to Play

Deck discussion for Pauper Trans Pox No Bomb

I, of course, have no experience in pauper whatsoever, but is burn really prevalent enough to warrant 4 slots in the sideboard? Seems like Campfire would be a better fit.

As of today, it is the most popular deck in the metagame at ~20% representation in MTGO leagues, with madness burn at ~3%.

Campfire, though a lovely card and my preferred "win condition" for decks like this, is simply too slow. And sometimes a liability too as some burn opponents will sideboard in Smash to Smithereens.

That would do it I suppose. It's been a minute since I've played competitively at any level, but I can't remember burn being that big a threat in any format. It's always been around of course, I even played it a few times, but 20% is pretty damn good saturation.

Power creep has kind of fucked pauper, though not as much as it has every other format. Though the format is relatively healthy all things considered. There's always a boogeyman to beat, what can you do.
