Pauper Gauntlet Competitor #2 Love Train

The Pauper Gauntlet is coming to mtgolibrary. You can submit your Pauper brews starting August 31st right here. Please do not submit any decks yet.

10 decks were prequalified for The Gauntlet by doing well last year. They will be presented here.

Deck #2 is Love Train, a Freed from the Real combo deck that can play both aggro and control as well. It ended up in 3rd place in the first season of the Pauper Gauntlet in 2013, which was quite a suprise.

This deck has a lot of interesting angles. Its creator is master brewer Jphsnake, also known under his first name "Jack" as a competitor in the TV show King of the Nerds (season 2)
