Pauper-ish Black Waltz No. 3 by Sereus

Format: Commander

Commander: Black Waltz No. 3

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Rakdos spellslinger and storm deck centered on Black Waltz No. 3. The primary game plan is to establish your commander or redundant burn pingers such as Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, and Firebrand Archer, then chain cheap noncreature spells, ritual mana, and velocity draw spells to incinerate the table. A crucial secondary path features Storm-Kiln Artist combined with Haze of Rage cast with buyback, generating infinite storm and infinite treasures to drain opponents or cast a lethal Grapeshot. Tainted Strike provides an alternate surprise burst line by turning direct damage into lethal poison counters.
