Deck Description

In Pauper EDH, you have 99 common singletons as a deck with any *uncommon* creature as your general. Pauper and EDH banlists apply, although your general does not have to be legendary and some playgroups lower starting life totals and general damage caps.

Gilder Bairn is my first general. Sometimes he keeps magnets tumbling, sometimes he makes cytospawn shamblers into 12/12s, sometimes he pings people with Viridian Longbow. Or at least, this is the theory. He might just be a trick or treater in a frog costume.

Deck discussion for Gilder Bairn Highlander

I've never heard of this Pauper alternative to EDH, but I think it's very cool. You have a very good deck here. Or at least, I think you do...Have nothing to compare it to given this is my first time hearing about this...but it looks damn good. Always loved Gilder Bairn =]

Thanks! This is the first deck I've built in the format and I have yet to play a game, but hopefully I'll get to see how it works tonight.

I came here to make a couple changes before that:
+ Viridian Longbow
+ Leonin Bola
- Dream's Grip
- Crafty Pathmage

I have assembled a physical copy of this now, or pretty close to it anyway! Played a trio of games versus Inkfathom Witch and Fusion Elemental. All three decks were fun and scary, and each claimed one victory.

This deck's greatest accompishment involved Gilder Bairn, Viridian Longbow, and a Pheres-Band Tromper. 9 mana: kill 4 toughness of blockers, add 35 +1/+1 counters to the Tromper, attack for lethal. :)

Decklist should now match physical deck. (Too cheap to buy "expensive" Rhystic Study and Command Tower.) Also going to remove some bad ramp and mediocre cards soon and put in more cards with counters & ways to deal with artifacts. Whispersilk Cloak is definitely the Lightning Greaves auto-include equipment of this format, and both my opponents had the ability to Transmute for it.
