Last month, I got some interest on Facebook to share some common-only 40K CCG deck lists for a quick and easy way to get started with playing. I’m always up for a deckbuilding challenge, so after digging through my card box, I built the following Pauper lists for Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Chaos.
Fair warning: these decks haven’t been tested extensively against each other, but I picked some of the most capable commons from each faction. YMMV – try them out and let me know what you think!
Space Marines
This is a classic Space Marines list focusing on armor boosting and counterattack, with solid assault units and shooters.

Orks
This infantry-heavy Orks list focuses on exploiting superior numbers and extra BAs to overwhelm opponents at each sector. Ammo Grotz can fuel some gross firepower boosting, and your extra BAs will give you the jump on your opponent.

Eldar
The specialized units in this Eldar deck work together to solve any problem. A third of the deck can roll natural 6s, in addition to having 12 cards that can boost die rolls on-board or in hand, letting you pass difficult, high-reward tests with ease. Take full advantage of card combos to make the most of your limited troop numbers.
