Cool idea :) Not many combo-decks in standard! :D

Going Mono black is probably the right move, you don't miss out on anything really awesome except for maybe the flayers..

I like the way you're going with the deck, but don't forget to update the decklist so I can try some draws :D

Yeah Parasites are great with undying :)

When buying pre-constructed the key when you are going to develop them further is to find out the key-cards in the deck (to you). Because it varies from person to person depending on what direction you want to take a deck.

There are plenty of people that will tell you "that's wrong" but if there's one thing I have learned with magic it's more about finding YOUR playstyle and adjusting the decks after that rather than just playing with the most uber cards in the format.

I've not been to many advanced tournaments but my "quirky" decks tend to do very well at FNM's where most people just copy the latest FOTM deck.

My fiance bought this pre-constructed as well and this is what we turned it into:

Cost us about 20 dollars so maybe a little bit more money than you're looking to spend.. but that's nto too hard to adjust :)

My kind of deck, Love it! :D
Maybe put 2 Devastating Tides in there to clean up in case you face a token deck?

Looks evasive :D

I'm working on a Bruna deck too, but it looks like you have a better idea going.. Would you please comment on mine?

Ah I misread Abundant Growth, thought it added one more mana in any color.. wasn't there some old enchantment that did that?

Anyway I digress..

You could maybe change Rampant for Emissary's? Would give you a blocker for early game at least (and still fetch land)

You could add Abundant Growth and remove battle hymn, bit more speed in the ramp, and versatile color.
Also.. how will you survive early game? I really like this idea, but surviving rush-decks will be very hard as it is now.

If you had more bonfires maybe?

Oh I just noticed you named your deck Pauper. That means only common cards, is this a restriction you want? If so you have some cards that has to go ;)

Hi and welcome to standard :) My first thought looking at your deck is that you need to ease your mana curve a little bit. 4 Glory's and 4 Voices are a bit heavy for a deck like this, and personally I don't like Voice of the provinces at all, it's not a very good card.

There is also no need for 4 War report, after all you need to build up a bit of an army before it will be worth it's mana cost.

Rebuke is not the best removal, if possible I'd add 2 more oblivion rings and perhaps 2 arrest instead of it.

As for angels, I'd switch Voice of the provinces for Emancipation Angel. It combines very well with your Cathedral Sanctifiers, and is a lot easier on your mana curve.

You also need to decide what you will win with. Right now your deck has a good early game, but no mid-game at all.

I understand you want to keep the deck cheap?

Looks quite original for a R/G bash. I'm guessing the Volt Charge are to make Young Wolf and Strangle root bigger once they have used their undying?

Do you own this deck for real? If so I'd love to hear how it works out :)

Looks awesome :)

I built a similar deck to this a while back ago, I found Aether Adept to be very nice :)

Like the idea, but I'd switch High Priest for Champion of Lambholt :)

Gratz to the " Upcoming" Deck :)

Cool name and I can deffo see this work m8 :)

You seem to be into the same kind of decks at me, you might like this one ;)

I'm a little confused, I don't quite understand where this deck is going. Would you mind explaining the core idea? :)

Cool, I see your arguments as very valid :) Gut shot would still help out your berserker very good tho :)

The way I think with Kruin striker opposed to Ring leader is that both of them will most likely only get to attack once and get blocked/killed. And unless you have a lot of other humans out that will come through and deal damage, odds are that early in the game Kruin will deal the more damage.

Later on however, if you havent gotten DoJ'ed or similar the Ringleader will ofc be better.

If you don't mind I'd love to get some input on my current Project - W/R Humans :)

Cheers!

Viridian Emissary > Dawntreader Elk

I'd switch Llanowar elves and Merfolk looters for Screeching skaab and Armored Skaab.

Like splinter decks?

I have 2 versions my self:
