I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure UR Delver is one of if not the best deck in the format (the other two tier 1 decks I know of are B Control and Inside Out combo). It has access to free counterspells like Daze (plus OG Counterspell) and also the best draw spells like Brainstorm and Gush, not to mention Lightning Bolt.

The other top tier decks are Boros Monarch, a midrange deck utilizing the monarch mechanic of Palace Sentinels to accrue advantage. Affinity, utilizing the power of Ancient Den and it is ilk. Tron is also legal and scary, and has a multitude of variations.

Elves are also a Tier One deck with access to cards like Priest of Titania, Lys Alana Huntmaster and Timberwatch Elf

If your group allows Goblin Grenade then Goblins can be Tier 1 for sure.

Most forms of Tron are Tier One. They can kill you quick with Ulamog's Crusher or crush your spirit by looping Capsize

PauperPower good call man...just put a Dinrova Tron deck together and it's killer combo is Dinrova Horror + Mnemonic Wall + Ghostly Flicker -bouncing all of an opponent's lands back to their hand and watching them bin them is a blast!

Lol thanks man, I try my best!

Dinrova Tron is one of the most complicated Pauper decks out there so I'll break it down for those who may be interested:

The focus is to exploit the flickers when they are empty handed. You can clear their entire board if you catch them slipping. Pace yourself to that position, then explode the value bombs.
