Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
 This deck is designed to give you a lot of
removal options, and then some creatures to back them up. Creatures are
very popular in Peasant, although you might occasionally come across a
deck with very few. Even the control deck above has 13 creatures or
creature-ish cards. Only 10 cards are dedicated creature removal (FTK,
Nameless Inversion, Terminate), while the rest are burn that can go to
the head.
For uncommons, I decided to run three Avalanche Riders
and two Flametongue Kavu. This gives you some powerful creatures with
some abuse. Lava Zombie can bounce one of those back to your hand, or a
Ghitu Slinger, for reuse. Then you have a three mana 4/3 inflatable
beater on the table.
Mogg Fanatic is a great early drop, putting early
pressure on an opponent or taking out a key creature. It’s cheap, and is
a good choice to bounce back to your hand when you draw a Lava Zombie
and are devoid of your 187 creatures.
In any deck like this, you want a way to kill multiple
creatures with one card when possible. Enter Dreamspoiler Witches. You
can play these and start swinging in the air. Occasionally you can
launch an instant removal spell and also kill an X/1 creature with the
Witches out. You can also play with combat math. Your creatures can kill
an opposing creature or survive combats with Witches out, but you cannot
use them aggressively on your turn, only defensively on your opponent’s,
which does not always fit your strategy.
Peasant Magic is a
format in which one can play with any legal Vintage set, as well as
silver bordered sets. In the format, you can play any common, up to the
normal four copies per card, and you can play up to five uncommons
total. The card has the lowest commonality of any printing. For
example, Rukh Egg was a common in Arabian Nights and a rare in the base
set. You could use the rare copy in Peasant as a common. There is one
exception to this rule. Strip Mine is treated as an uncommon, because it
was too prevalent in decks as a common.
All ante cards are
banned. Additionally, the following cards are banned: Ali from Cairo,
Library of Alexandria, Brain Freeze, Candelabra of Tawnos, Berserk,
Diamond Valley, Mana Drain, and Mishra’s Workshop. Note that all
cards from Arabian Nights, Antiquities, The Dark, Fallen Empires, and
Homelands are either common or uncommon, despite what some sites might
say to the contrary, so all are legal.
The five uncommon
cards counts for both the deck and sideboard, for tournament purposes.
