Dam this deck is fun…
I brewed with the deck for a few days now. I went 1-4, 2-3, 4-1, 4-1 and now 5-0 in the league so my remade version of your deck will be on https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper#online tomorrow i guess… which is a shame because I think it might be like tire 2-3 so we will se a lot of it. Surprise factor will be completely gone… and I love playing with it.
Its ONLY and i mean only nemesis is mulldrifter for some reason.

Keep up good work Jason!

Very nice brew! But as previous posters have said it need some tweaking.
Definetly cut the wellsprings unless your not going to bring in perilous research.
I’d like the idea of a bow and some more trinket mages. I think trinket mage is just always (well in vacuum) gonna be better than seagate in this deck. Definitely strix over Dhund opereativ though if you go in that direction.

FissureMan – Cool ideas! I think Silkbind Faerie might be worth pairing with Longbow here, too.

FlintSmith – Puzzleknot slipped my mind. I’m gonna try it!

uspdudes – Yes, please do!

Ops, I was trying to type “not to bad” play, I misspelled. But I guess the meaning ended up being the same. Sometimes we are just under a bad spot or a bad matchup. Sometimes our chances of winning are low, but even those times, we can maximize our chances. Having a 30% chance of winning instead of a 20% chance doesn’t look very exciting, but it can actually make a difference in the long run. The problem is that the brain “hates” to make “lose less” decisions. We get confused, frustrated, looking for an out. This kind of situation can actually come up in life. Sometimes in life we have to take the “less bad” decision and it is really hard to evaluate it.
