There are so many cool interactions and synergies in the deck. Exile things early and often, then process them for more advantage. Just one example of many, but Oblivion Ring something, Mind Raker targeting whatever O ring exiled, Kor Skyfisher targeting Oblivion Ring, repeat if needed. Okiba-Gang Shinobi ninjutsu Kor Skyfisher/Mind Raker, etc. So much Ephemerate value in the deck, usually discarding opponents cards. Thinking about putting some Duress in the sideboard to further control the opponents hand.

Chainer's Edict is great for Tolarian Terror. The serpent is taken out with most of the other removal spells.

It's fun, it's grindy as heck, and it's a real midrange deck in pauper. I created this list 6 years ago when I was last playing so let's see how it holds up to the current meta. I probably need more artifact hate in the 75 these days though. Suggestions are super welcome. Please let me know of upgrades/newer cards because again I've been away from the game for 6 years.
