Intro Show

So i've seen that control is rather on the lower end of pauper as a format, which i don't really see, it has some of the best control spells in all of magic.The main issue as i see it is the speed of pauper, turn 2-4 win deck's such as affinity or infect can be a real problem if there is no removal on the spot.

So i've constructed this during the weekend and playtested it agains't a lot of meta deck's in pauper; such as

Pauper Boggles

ultra-budget infect

Izzet Kiln Fiend

Pauper Affinity

Bad Match Ups/Struggles Show

Biggest struggle is infect. If the enemy has a starting hand of Forest Mutagenic Growth Glistener Elf Withstand Death (...) (...) (...) there is almost nothing i can do to win the game. Key here is to kill everything with Flame Slashes and Lightning Bolt's

Other than that this deck just want's to survive until turn 4. Affinity also hit's hard as a truck, but is doable with proper sideboarding. Turbo fog is a joke.

Card's in question Show

Cards i may replace/are open for better options are:

Dinrova Horror

Sea Gate Oracle with either a Ponder or a Preordain im kind of torn because it has a good value but it is slow with 3 mana as a blocker, and it cannot act as a finisher.
