Every once in a while this pauper deck did well but it is much less reliable than my blue/white pauper deck that also features heroes. The problem is that there are not enough cheap heroes for red and green. Satyr Hoplink is the only one that costs less than 3 that gets +1/+1 counters for heroic.  Blue white has 2 such cards, plus the unstoppable triton shorestalker.
