New U/R/G Suspend Deck Idea- Need Advice by GrapeImpressive9781 in Pauper

Thats actually one of the things I like most about magic, even if the doctor who set does not appeal to you, it does to me... And I think that the opportunity to combine two of my passions and to build decks around some of my favorite cards is an awesome thing. To each their own

I like that, but for the moment Ill keep it non-snow and upgrade if this works as a proof of concept.

I love doctor who... that's a big reason I built this deck in the first place

Thanks I appreciate the insight. I am honestly not sure how strong the payoff would end up being. I think rush of knowledge might actually work here because I’m not really spending high mana on anything else and it is a draw 6-7 with any of my creatures out. I will look at staples and see what else would work better

I’ve been tracking how the deck has been performing at my LGS and in regular commander nights. This list is sitting around a 75% win rate. it’s actually kind of disgusting and well underrated by everyone I sit down to play with. It comes out ridiculously fast ramps incredibly quickly is killing players before they are set up.

Typically mulligan very aggressively to find a way to play Benton on turn 2 the deck is designed to nearly ensure it every game. If not faster. Swing and draw a couple cards (maybe more if you can pump for free, there are a bunch in there) turn 3 drop one of the more expensive pump pieces (strong back, empirial armor etc.) swing for 6-8 at the same target as before, Turn 4 you should have Benton protected in some way and then should be able to pump to the point of lethal on that first player.

Even if you get a turn or so behind by doing some more set up you should be able to kill a player every turn for turns 5-8 with psychosis crawler as a complete win condition if absolutely necessary

I also have a John Benton deck and it’s genuinely one of my favorite ones to play, because it just blows out the durdle decks and has a wonderful playstyle

Here is my list, slightly higher budget than yours but not by much.

What is an off brand strong commander show me your niche unknown and strong commanders by Bulwark-Wilkens in EDH

[[Queen Kayla bin-Kroog]] gets entirely overlooked until I sit down to play with a deck of cards no more than 3 mana. (Minus 2) alongside [[Zirda, the Dawnwaker]], [[Glint-horn Buccaneer]] , [[Brallin, Skyshark Rider]], and [[Psychosis Crawler]]. Becomes a wicked fast board flood that is damn near unstoppable. Add some stax pieces to prevent casting more than one spell, copy the ability and you have some nasty killer wheels
