I have ~60 cards that commit a crime in Deepmuck Desperado — Persistent Petitioners #PauperEDH
moxfield.com/decks/mfCjQc...
"Weird?" Rhystic Deluge, Jace's Erasure… have also tried Merfolk Thaumaturgist, Soldevi Sentry.

Rhystic Deluge
{2}{U}
Enchantment

{U}: Tap target creature unless its controller pays {1}.

“I’ll rain down on you with the power of magic itself. Then we’ll see who prevails.”
—Alexi, zephyr mage

Illustrated by Pete Venters

Jace's Erasure
{1}{U}
Enchantment

Whenever you draw a card, you may have target player mill a card.

“You should try to clear your mind of idle thoughts. And if you can’t, I will.”

Illustrated by Jason Chan

Merfolk Thaumaturgist
{2}{U}
Creature — Merfolk Wizard

{T}: Switch target creature’s power and toughness until end of turn.

“Blasted fishtails! It’s not enough that they meddle with my head, but they twist my body as well.”
—Tahngarth of the Weatherlight

1/2
Illustrated by Steve Prescott

Soldevi Sentry
{1}
Artifact Creature — Soldier

{1}: Choose target opponent. Regenerate this creature. When it regenerates this way, that player may draw a card.

“A dreadful invention. What ease is there under the watchful eye of cold steel?”
—Sorine Relicbane, Soldevi Heretic

I was looking at Sir Didymus (Lu Xun had a uncommon downshift in online ME3) + Hermetic Study/Psionic Gift, Horseshoe Crab + untappers but I like Arni's untap in the command zone… let's see Derek cook!

Lu Xun, Scholar General
{2}{U}{U}
Sir Didymus, Rider of Ambrosius
Legendary Creature — Human Soldier

Horsemanship (This creature can’t be blocked except by creatures with horsemanship.)

Whenever Lu Xun deals damage to an opponent, you may draw a card.

“I have taken an oath, and I must defend it to the death.”

1/3

From Magic the Gathering — Secret Lair x Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Should You Need Us (2026)

#PDH #PauperEDH #PauperCommander

Psionic Gift
{1}{U}
Enchantment — Aura

Enchant creature

Enchanted creature has “{T}: This creature deals 1 damage to any target.”

For sale: Complete wizard’s library. Rare scrolls, grimoires, and works of ancient spellcrafting! Slightly abridged.

Illustrated by Dany Orizio
From Magic the Gathering — Odyssey (2001)

Horseshoe Crab
{2}{U}
Creature — Crab

{U}: Untap this creature.

In the final days before the disaster, all the crabs on Tolaria migrated from inlets, streams, and ponds back to the sea. No one took note.

Tried something a little different this time, and split my Set Review of the Commons and Uncommons out to focus on Pauper and PauperEDH a bit more.

If you think this approach is good, I'll give it another go next set!

Tonight at 7PM CT: @pdhrcderek.bsky.social on #PDH hard mode "only once each turn" he's still gonna figure out how to scry or surveil once on EVERYONE'S turn. No artifice here, Derek's the real deal, brewing + goldfishing a complete #Pauper Commander deck in one hour at youtube.com/@pdhrc

Saheeli, Consul of Oversight
{3}{W}{W}
Legendary Creature — Human Advisor

Flying

Whenever you scry or surveil, create a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying. This ability triggers only once each turn.
