Deck Description

Another mostly by-the-numbers build of MBC for Pauper. This is the first time I've built this without Barren Moors and with Cast Down.

Another copy of Grim Harvest may be a good idea if Jund and other cascade heavy value decks are common in your meta.

Sideboard:
Ashes to Ashes: Deals with Undying creatures while also being a good option in value matchups where life is an expandable resource.

Duress & Distress: Obviously against creature-light decks

Crypt Rats & Pestilence are good board clears and should be sided in Elves and Boros type matchups for that reason, but they also act as threats agasint decks like Tron or Dimir control.

Pharika's Libation: Deals with Tortured Existence and with Boggles, also good in matchups like Inside Out where you need all the removal you can get.

Unexpected Fangs for burn, Bonder's Ornament against decks that themselves run Bonder's Ornament, Cast Down for threat-heavy midrange decks.

How to Play

This is the only controlling value deck in pauper that essentially just plays good cards without much heed paid to synergy. It plays very much like Modern Jund, just without any mainboard hand disruption; you gain small edges as you develop threats as well as while you remove those of your opponents. That's literally all you do. You play black.

Personally I'm running 2 Pestilence and 1-2 Eternal Thirst mainboard. in combination, they work like a char, and Eternal Thirst can help you not to lose life when using Cuombajj Witches

Damn, I can see some, relatively control/removal - light metagames being utterly brutalized by that. Seems a bit niche to be honest, but it definitely is something to try. Thank you for the suggestion!
