This is my Pauper Modern affinity deck. It's very similar to Modern Affinity, with Blinkmoth Nexus being the biggest missing piece.

I haven't really decided on a sideboard at all yet, because our meta is still shaking out, but I'm thinking to include One-Eyed Scarecrow as hate for a certain Faeries deck!

The most iffy cards at the moment are:

Faerie Mechanist which is a great way to get some additional card advantage, and a body, but feels too slow unless there are a couple Etherium Sculptor on the field.

I can see why Atog is used in a lot of pauper affinity decks, but with Cranial Plating in the mix, you don't want to sac artifacts and risk not hitting the kill. Instead I've got Vault Skirge now, it + plating is insane for life swings.

Muddle the Mixture was included because it can tutor for Cranial Plating and works ok countering removal. Dispel would probably be a lot more useful in general (and in the sideboard perhaps).

But it is fairly fast and seems competitive in our local meta so far.
