Pauper forum

Crazy idea I had for a 1st place at a pauper tourney I am putting together for a bday party. Winner gets full set of 15 pauper foils in a FTV style list/package, while 2nd place gets the same set in a non-foil variant.
Looking to not break the bank too hard, so nothing like a foil Dark Ritual but atm the most expensive foils is Delver of Secrets Flip. What recommendations would you make over any of the following 15?
- Evolving Wilds
- Darksteel Citadel
- Gray Merchant of Asphodel
- Gurmag Angler
- Delver of Secrets Flip
- Soul Warden
- Llanowar Elves
- Doom Blade
- Mana Leak
- Thoughtcast
- Journey to Nowhere
- Lightning Bolt
- Electrickery
- Giant Growth
- Fog
I'm trying to aim for 1-2 staples in various decks, while doing the FtV thing of classic cards. While also doing the not obvious inclusion of strictly better cards (why I considered Journey to Nowhere over Oblivion Ring)

Foil Mulldrifter and Rancor are 4-bucks-ish, and probably see more play than Doom Blade, plus you already have 2 great black cards (maybe Rancor over Growth or Fog).

canterlotguardian Funny thing is you could get a card that's actually played in pauper and is better, Ponder, for cheaper haha.

Ponder and Serum Visions were on my list originally, but then I remembered that I already owned a foil Thoughtcast and that seemed like a nice inclusion with the Darksteel Citadel I also already had. About half of the foils I had listed are easy to get in Australia, but some are proving to be really hard to track down without shipping from multiple US sellers. So far I've had no luck with my black or green choices in local stores or online sellers I regularly use, so I might need to switch those out by March. Elvish Mystic or any other mana dork could replace Llanowar Elves and I like the recommendation of Rancor but black I'm a bit lost on outside of maybe Duress or Sign in Blood
