Long time lurker of this subreddit, first post.

I been playing BG Tortured Existence on my locals for a while and while i tried and played other decks i like too much the deck and its play style.

I been having some issue when playing at my lgs because some players plays slow (not intentionally) and while i play fast i feel like i need to up my closing speed. If anyone has any ideas, builds or suggestions i am more than open to them.

Most of the games i manage to gain full control of the game, but take too long to finish after that. I am not a pauper expert, so there must be some obvious choices i am missing on.

​

Here is the list i am currently piloting:

4 Tortured Existence

4 Commune with the Gods

1 Vessel of Nascency

1 Dead Weight

1 Ill-gotten inheritance (probably cutting this)

​

4 Golgari Brownscale

3 Stinkweed Imp

3 Grave Scrabbler

3 Fume Spitter

3 Sakura-tribe Elder

2 Crypt Rats

2 Spore Frog

1 Battlefield Scrounger

1 Horror of the Broken Lands

1 Liliana's Specter

1 Spark Reaper

1 Thoughtpicker Witch

1 Tilling Treefolk

​

7 Swamp

4 Forest

4 Jungle Hollow

3 Golgari Rot Farm

1 Ash Barrens

1 Barren Moor

1 Bojuka Bog

1 Terramorphic Expanse

1 Tranquil Thicket

​

I am willing to splash 1 more color, but i wouldn't like to go the way of play BG aristocrats with 4 tortured existence.
