Pauper Gauntlet Competitor #1: Illusory Tricks

The Pauper Gauntlet is coming to mtgolibrary. You can submit your Pauper brews starting August 31st right here.

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

Deck #1 is Illusory Tricks, the runner up in the first season of The Pauper Gauntlet.

The basic idea is to play a mono blue tempo deck that can beat Delver.
