There is fog. Lots of fog. Nothing happens for a long time. Suddenly, you're hurting, then you're hurting again. Then you're dead on the ground.
This is an experimental deck revolving around building tron and then burning the opponent with spells that convert X mana to X damage to the face while hopefully evading enough combat damage to survive. I try to get use out of the opponents creatures that are probably trying to attack me on most turns with Borrowing 100,000 Arrows, ideally drawing into a thought vessel along the way.
Disenchant is important if our enemy has Circle of Protection: Red on the board, while circle will protect us against other burn decks. Preordain provides filtering for when the enemy is bogles or some heroic derivation that won't give us much value for casting Borrowing 100,000 Arrows. Getting rid of pesky graveyards with Relic of Progenitus is potentilly good when playing against a recursing blue deck so his counterspells will run out at some point.
I like to play this deck because many other decks have lots of cards dedicated to dealing with stuff on the board, but then we play absolutely nothing that could be dealt with whatsoever. Has the disadvantage that we can basically scoop when the other player has enough land hate.
"But that is (boring|inefficient)":
Staunch Throneguard (or any other passive effects) can be stuffed in for extra jank, since we're not planning to take any combat damage anyways we could make use of it by being the monarch indefinetly. Other possibilities include Thorn of the Black Rose and card:palace sentinel for cheaper, but in my experince earlier when the extra cards we could get from monarch are useful colored mana is a bigger problem than getting a bunch of colorless with the current setup.
If you have any other ideas to make it less boring (or to make assembling tron more reliable) without destroying the premise I'm excited for them because I don't have any other ideas. I'm especially unhappy with my carddraw but I think it's as good as it gets in pauper.
