Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
I wanted to make a pauper control deck that uses land destruction in combination with some other control spells. So red was set from the beginning as colour. white, black and blue where available as second colours and I decided to go for white to get access to some unconventional control spells as well as some finishers.

[u]Tests[/u]
This is one of the decks I'm using as benchmark, to test my other Pauper decks against, the result for each test are recorded in a google-document spreadsheet and added to the description of each of my pauper decks. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

The target of this deck is to cut of your opponent from his main resource: Mana. When you hit 3 mana you should start to destroy your opponents lands. If your opponents deck is multi coloured, and you manage to cut him of from one colours, he will not be able to cast many spells. If he uses some special lands (Tron for example) that produce more than one mana those should also be under the first ones you destroy.
[[Firebrand Archer]] deals 1 damage per non creature spell you've play and [[Thermo Alchemist]] untaps after each instant or sorcery you've played, so don't forget to tap and deal 1 damage before each of those spells you play. If nothing else, you can safely tap the Alchemist to deal damage before your opponent finishes his turn.

Deck discussion for W/R Pauper: Land Destruction

O-Ring is an option, for the sideboard at least. It hits almost everything, so it's a good catch all.
Quicksand was printed as a common in Worldwake and can be an extra removal tool for you.
Electrickery is a solid option for any go wide strategy. A large amount of any go wide's creatures will die to this.

Your LD package reminded me, I designed a Ponza list for Pauper:

I'm always forgetting these "new" dual-lands. Still automatically going for Guildgates&Co. even if there are better cards.
