Pauper Wizards

Woahhhhh has it been a long time since we've updated the blog.  5 weeks!  Sorry!  Time can kind of slip away from you.

I haven't battled much lately, I went 3-1 in FNM and 0-2d ( =/ ) in a pptq with a standard monored deck.  Nothing too exciting.

But I play pauper on mtgo from time to time.  I really like to brew, but there are certain constraints that most constructed formats pose.  Anyway I thought I would try this out:

4 Stream of Unconsciousness
1 Void Snare
1 Negate
2 Deprive
2 Muddle the Mixture
1 Repeal

4 Lavamancer's Skill

1 Sidisi's Faithful
4 Information Dealer
4 Minamo Scrollkeeper
1 Omenspeaker
4 Thought Courier
1 Sea Gate Oracle
4 Neurok Invisimancer
3 Archeomancer

4 Evolving Wilds
2 Mountain
16 Islands

The idea is to counter early aggression with guys with big butts (Scrollkeeper and company) and eventually lock up the board with a Lavamancer's Skill on a wizard.  Wow, is this card oppressive!  You just start murdering stuff.

The counterspell suite needs improvement,but you get the idea.  I weather the early storm, start moping up the board with a Lavamancer'd wizard and counter all of their spells from that point on.  It becomes surprisingly easy to swarm with little 1/1s once all of your opponent's creatures are dead.  The Invisimancer can be good as times, but hasn't been the best so far.

Information Dealer has been MVP, choosing to draw from five cards is amazing.
Anyway, I'm currently 12-1 with the deck so I really recommend giving it a go-round.
