Black Fog (Rakdos Control - Pauper) (Pauper) [Revisão 39]

The strategy is to attach Enchanted-Aura cards, "Contaminated Bond" and "Sinister Possession," to an opponent's creatures. They lock your opponents from attacking, and if they decide to attack, they will be taking some damage for their action.

The deck also uses "Contaminated Ground" to make your opponent think twice before tapping this enchanted land for mana. It also makes this land a swamp, allowing creatures with Swampwalk ability to attack without being blocked.

"Steel Walls" block attaching creatures while setting up the lock on your opponent's board. Typical Rakdos have the following cards: "Blightning" and "Lightning Bolt". These cards can cause direct damage to your opponents and take out troublesome creatures. "Dash Hopes" for black counterspell. "Sovereign's Bite" takes opponent's life and you gain some life in return. The Flashback ability on "Bump in the Night" could finish your opponent in the late game. The deck also has "Darkness," which prevent combat damage for a turn similar to "Fog."

As for land, there are mountains and swamps. "Evolving Wilds" helps to find these basic lands from your library. Tap-lands (Bloodfell Caves) also fix some of your mana requirements and gain one life when it comes into play. I also have Rakdos Carnarium to bounce Bloodfell Caves to your hand to be played again for additional life.

On the sideboard, extra "Darkness" to deal with "Burn" decks. "Smash to Smithereens" to destroy artifacts and burnt those troublesome "Affinity" players. "Terminate" can take care of any other troublesome creatures in the Pauper format. "Nihil Spellbomb" deals with graveyard hate. "AEtherflame Wall" blocks shadow creatures that sometimes show up in the Pauper format. "Crypt Rats" is a gem in this deck because it can take out all the creatures on the board.

Please let me know what you think! :)
