Deck #2: Love Train http://mtgolibrary.blogspot.se/2014/06/pauper-gauntlet-competitor-2-love-train.html
Deck #3: Exhume Control http://mtgolibrary.blogspot.se/2014/07/pauper-gauntlet-competitor-3-exhume.html
Today's deck was created after Delver ran amok after the last round of bannings in Pauper. Its #1 strength is that it handily beats Delver more often than most decks. It also appealed to a lot of control players that just had their favorite control deck, Izzet Post, banned. This particular list was played by Pauper legend _batutinha_
The basic idea is just to draw more cards than your opponent and then gain value by having a lot of cheap removal spells to deal with early aggression. The decks weakness is even grindier control decks that it will have to beat by playing an early Delver of Secrets and protecting it.
