Path to Exile and Lightning Bolt are class A removal, but what if, in the right circumstance an alternative was better... Hello metalcraft with Dispatch and Galvanic Blast... From there I looked at cherio, affinity and mill lists and well, this deck idea was born...

Win via:

Creature: Goblin Gaveleer or Monastery Mentor

Combo: Grapeshot + Leave

Also knowing to mulligan if I don't have 1 of my creatures in the opening hand, be it card draw or beater...

Comments or +1's appreciated.

FAQ

Yes, I should be running Mox Opal, but I don't have any and my funds won't quite go that far. I'm using Lotus Bloom instead and toying with Simian Spirit Guide or maybe Springleaf Drum if I use token generators...

No, I don't want to run a card with a higher converted mana cost than 3, unless there is a synergistic cost reduction for it. Unless it's a Hellkite Tyrant which can help win with damage or alt-win...

Yes, I only have 15 land, the deck has a low curve (24 free spells) so can get away with less land and Paradise Mantle and Lotus Bloom help with mana.
