I think the effect it provides is really powerful and unique, and I honestly wish he was legendary. At the same time, I think it's a pretty decent contender in the Pauper format.
How does one play this deck?
Burn things. Make dorks. Turn 'em sideways.
Nuances of the Deck
-Keep in mind your spell copies trigger Blaze Commando multiple times.
-Try not to waste burn spells early game on cards that aren't immediate threats. You have a lot of spot removal, but you can only draw so many a game and they get so much better with Blaze Commando in play.
Hey, so I know this seems like an awkward time to be updating this, but for the longest time my friends have been bothering me to get into Pauper, so I went ahead and picked up what I've been missing from this deck.
In initial testing, Halberdiers and Bushwhacker were clunky, Whispersilk Cloak was functional but awkward, and Wispmare was unnecessary. In their place, I've added some Limited superstars--usually Pauper's power players--as well as Frontline Strategist, who I feel has insane potential as a blowout for this deck. Let me know what you think!
I see you run Suture Priest (which I need to add once I decide what to cut) and I was wondering if you would consider Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant?

Thanks to Heroes of the Plane for the awesome Sig.
What I've noticed the difference is between our builds is yours focuses more on creatures while mine focuses more on burn spells. If I had much more token generation like you, the Soul Sisters would be auto-includes. Because I can't rely on them, I don't think they're the best option tbh.
I've recently updated this list and purchased most of it, so I'd really appreciate some feedback on what I should do moving forward. Maybe I've missed something? Please let me know, thanks
how many people do you usually play with? this deck looks really sweet in multiplayer game.
what does it have the most trouble with? is it easy to overextend with this deck?

Lemme know what you think!
Roar of the crowd could be a second, slightly worse massive raid.
Trumpet blast could be a second, slightly worse dynacharge.
Not sure if you want more of that, but those are decent options. They're both basically finishers.

Instead of Roar of the crowd you could use Mob Justice.
Instead of Trumpet Blast you could use Betrothed of Fire.

Good call. I hadn't seen those cards before. They'd probably be better than the ones in the deck already.

My Blaze Commando list is in my SIG (in the spoiler, along with my other pauper decks) if you would like to take a look.
The deck is very strong (I play 1v1, 40 life, 21 commander) and fast.
Maybe the OP could pick up some ideas.
