This is my first pauper deck. It is meant to have two phases: Survive and Win in the late game. With a good selection of Nope, Kill, and Draw, as well as an assortment of efficient creatures, that don't become irrelevant late game, this deck is meant to perform well against agressive decks in game one, and moderately well against control decks. After boarding it can be transformed into creatureless, or near creatureless, hard control.

Mystical Teachings allows us to tutor up our silver bullets from the Sideboard, or tutor up a timely Counterspell or Terminate.

Thermo-Alchemist is an all star in this build. The amount of spells with flashback really helps deal the damage we need game one to get us there.

Frostburn Weird helps with the early game, but can also close out a game if left unchecked, or we have enough counterspells to protect him.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome.

I am considering adding 3 Lightning Bolt for 1 Exclude, 1 Negate, and 1 Think Twice.

Thanks
