This a pauper version of the Psionic Supremacy deck.

The core

Enchant the deathtouchers with Psionic Gift/Hermetic Study.

• Typhoid Rats Deathtoucher #1-4
• Rancid Rats Deathtoucher #5-8
• Pharika's Chosen Deathtouch #9
• Hermetic Study Ping utlity #1-4
• Psionic Gift Ping utlity #5-8

Mitigation

Plan is to deal with anything that could disrupt the core.

• Duress Discard removal pieces.
• Dive Down Mainly for hexproof. Toughness comes in handy against some red spells that don't target and may be useful combat trick.
• Mana Leak Simple and effective.
• Recoil While pinging deathtouchers should be able to deal with most creatures, Recoil can help with most everything else. With early game Duress the discard part is more likely to be important.
• Bojuka Bog deals with graveyard shenanigans.
• Muddle the Mixture can search for 2cmc card, like the core pieces, but also protect them if you have one.

Support

Cards to help the deck roll.

• Tandem Lookout draws cards when paired with a creature with Hermetic Study/Psionic Gift. You can also enchant the Lookouts. He seems more flexible option when compared to cards like Curiosity and doesn't suffer from 2-for-1 problem.

Consolidation

• Freed from the Real increases the number of times Psionic Gift/Hermetic Study can be used.
