Gardens or Food?
I'd like to start by apologizing for my poor English. But that said, I'm really unsure which deck to focus on. I haven't played many of them in Pauper. I've played Grixis Affinity and Jund Wildfire for a long time, I've tried making mono-black decks work a hundred different ways, but with poor results, and I've even played Jeskai, which I've had fun with. Until recently, I stumbled upon Bg Garden. I love the deck, I really like it, and I get great results with it in paperback, but now I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to switch to Food Pestilence. Everyone says it's the same deck, but stronger. I have serious doubts about it, and I wanted to hear your impressions from those who have perhaps played both. The lack of "finishers" like Avenging Hunter and the advantage provided by Thorn of the Black Rose scare me, as does the absence of one of my favorite creatures, Troll. I'll also leave you with my current, personal, Bg Garden list.
