To put together the Top Deck Averages I have to sort through a lot of decks. I have an archive of decks that placed 3-1 or better in an online Daily Event and I wanted to find some unique builds. I have a "rogue finder" script that works pretty well, but I tried a different approach today. I just filtered out decks that contained certain cards. I started with about 3000 decks and filtered it down to 196 by excluding any deck that ran any of the following cards: Grapeshot, Cloudpost, Cloud of Faeries, Groundswell, Goblin Sledder, Empty the Warrens, Disciple of the Vault, Crypt Rats, Delver of Secrets, Frogmite, Icatian Javelineers, Mystical Teachings, and Corrupt.

I browsed through the remaining decks and towards the top I found this red-green deck by Lundstrom. Another search revealed this is the only deck out of my collection of 3000 that played Granger Guildmage. I also really like the Horned Kavu, but I think I'd run a few more copies. This deck looks prepared to deal with one toughness creatures, and with all the blue in the format those islandwalking snakes are sure to come in handy.

Give this deck a try, and be on the lookout for some more Pauper rogue decks.
