Hi everyone. Below is a pauper Jor Kadeen deck I built as a nemesis for a recent mimeoplasm list. The deck started as a G/R Livonya Silone deck, but I quickly became dissatisfied with its similarity to all of the Jerrard lists that have lately cropped up around the net. Jor Kadeen has been on my mind for a while as a possible general; and with the success of many "metal hawk" and "kuldotha red" lists on PDC Magic, I was excited to try this color combo out at common.
Anyway, I'm pretty uncertain about the finished product, as W/R simply does not have even close to the recursive and ramp power at pauper as the G/U/B spectrum. I'm also not certain whether metal craft is easy enough to achieve with the general. I've seen in some of the standard edh lists that using Jor requires a delicate balance of "just extending enough" to get metal craft and artifact ramping online, while constantly having to be prepared for a possible wipe or mass artifact destruction. These problems seem to be just as salient at the pauper level as lists using uncommons and rares.
Advice and criticisms are always welcome, but not necessary. I'm just hoping that posting some of these lists contributes to more pauper decks popping up in the EDH forum.
Nice decklist here. But Strip Mine is technically a mythic according to the most recent oracle.
Thanks for the interest in the deck. I'm going to refer folks to the pauper dream crusher thread for a back and forth discussion on the legality of strip mine in pauper. It was technically printed as a common way back in antiquities. It's certainly not an integral part of the deck.
I was impressed by many of the new W/R commons in Innistard, and may revise the deck list with some inclusions like thraben militia.
