Pauper MBC Rats....My Take.

Main Deck (60 cards)

Creatures
3x Gempalm Polluter
1x Shepherd of Rot
4x Brain Gorgers
3x Grave Scrabbler
4x Rotting Rats

Enchantments
3x Tortured Existence

Land
1x Quicksand
7x Island
11x Swamp
4x Shimmering Grotto

Spells
3x Feast or Famine
4x Wrench Mind
4x Dark Withering
4x Careful Study
4x Shields of Velis Vel

Sideboard (15 cards)

2x Echoing Decay
4x Rites of Refusal
4x Tendrils of Corruption
4x Duress
1x Distress


Now the question I have is such:

Is my land count right? I'm going to be casting Gempalm, Brain Gorgers, Withering, and Scrabbler for either Madness or Cycle so that should effectively lower my curve, so really I only have to worry about the 4 Feasts/Tendrils as my high cost spells. But then I'm running a tri colored deck and I've never done that before so....yeah Im stumped.*

Secondly, this will eventually be my Pauper MTGO Tourney deck, but I don't yet have an account. Are any of these cards not legal, or not online? If so any subs you'd suggest?

I was playing around with the shuffler and decided that the blue was really not helping at all. So this is what I have now:


Main Deck (60 cards)

Creatures:
Gempalm Polluter x3
Shepherd of Rot x2
Putrid Imp x4
Brain Gorgers x4
Grave Scrabbler x4
Rotting Rats x4

Enchantments:
Tortured Existence x3

Land:
Terramorphic Expanse x2
Plains x1
Quicksand x1
Barren Moor x2
Swamp x11
Shimmering Grotto x4

Spells:
Feast or Famine x3
Wrench Mind x4
Dark Withering x4
Sign in Blood x4

Sideboard (15 cards)

Echoing Decay x2
Shields of Velis Vel x4
Tendrils of Corruption x4
Duress x4
Distress x1


My idea is pretty much:

1) Try to get some type of board presence with the Zombies. Imp/Rats are good at discarding the Gorgers and Scrabbler letting me play them for madness. If not him they I have the TE as backup.

2) Shepherd is a great pinger when I need him to be, and is in mainly cuz I play a lot of multiplayer chaos at my house.

3) Shields: for those times I'm playing against a weenie/swarm/Empty the Warens deck and I can use their great numbers against them.

Oh and a link to my deck: Thriller's gonna get'cha!
