The Top Decks of Pauper. RUG Tron

in this series we will walk you through the top decks of Pauper as played on Magic Online. Pauper is the Magic Online format where you are only allowed to play commons.  These are the official rules:http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/resources.aspx?x=magic/rules/pauper

Today we will be discussing the Tron deck. When Cloudpost was banned, people expected the big mana decks to go away. They were very mistaken.

The Plan
The idea is to get to the tron as fast as possible and then just do broken things for the rest of the game. Every effect you have in your deck is "bigger" than anything the opponent has and thus you win.

Avignon, the superb pauper player who came up with the original deck list, wrote an excellent article on this deck. It is one of the best Magic articles I have ever seen, actually. You can find it here: http://www.mtgoacademy.com/4-color-tron-in-pauper-constructed/

This is perhaps the Pauper deck I enjoy playing the most, so there will be more videos with it on youtube.com/magicgatheringstrat. There are actually already around twenty or so :)

Enjoy! And thank you, Avignon, for creating such a fantastic deck.
