An attempt to make a tax/prison-style deck for pauper. Some hiccups along the way (Soul Barrier and Mystic Remora aren't pauper-legal. Who knew?), but it's a work in progress.

Current gameplan is to drop an early Rhystic Study (by using Saprazzan Skerry + an island), and then annoy the hell out of the opponent by bouncing any creatures they try to play. If they swarm, Fade Away should take care of things. Ultimately, the goal is to stick a couple Spire Golem or Man-o'-War and ride them to victory. If the opponent tries to attack your creatures, bounce spells can be used to save them. Ideally you bounce everything so your path is clear, and then it's summoning sick when they recast. Which would also likely net you a draw or five from Rhystic Study.

Sideboard is a bit of a mess. Definitely needs some work there.
