My Pauper Storm deck, a tuned-down version of standard storm. Not using Rite of Flame 'cause it's too expensive. Also no Remands in sideboard for the same reason.

Mainboard is pretty self-explanatory, and fairly standard for a Storm setup. My main kill-con is Empty the Warrens paired with Goblin Bushwhacker. Alternatively there's 2 Grapeshot in there in case you come up against Sandstorm and Marrow Shards and whatnot. But it's harder to reach that 21 stormcount if you don't have Past in Flames to combo out.

Still deciding wether the extra win-con in mainboard is worth dropping Faithless Looting at least twice, as it's a good dig and allows you to dump some lands for spells (also, for red mana \o/ ), so I might swap those after playtesting. I might even drop 2 Serum Visions for them, since I can run Preordain in pauper which does a better job.

Sideboard has the extra Grapeshot and Lightning Bolt to speed up a spellbased kill. Bolting someone's face basically puts 3 extra spells on your Storm counter for the win.

Echoing Truth and Into the Roil are against zoo, token decks, and ramp, and some countermagic to balance it all out and giving me a sideboard chance to fight some opposing counterspells.

Especially sideboard advice is always welcome!
