Jesus Christ this deck is pricey for a gimmick deck.

Why not throw in Altar of the Brood as you kill in your combo? just go glassdust, trophy mage, sojourners, adarkar, altar, and control magic and still keep it under $90 or even less? Then it's jenk as hell but still somewhat decent. I know the idea is a bad casual deck, but if i'm gonna run a casual combo, why not throw in stuff like Cancel, Dissolve, Dissipate, and Skyscribing? Just all balls to the wall jenk combo, screw other cards.

I was thinking this was Time Spiral x.x Wouldn't this whole Vampire Madness still be new school since most of these Vamps are still standard?

Like Foundry Street Denizen? I can see that replacing Bushwhacker....and why? Delver of Secrets, Gurmag Angler, Slippery Boggle, Mulldrifter, Rancor, Ulamog's Crusher, Exhume, Chainer's Edict, (online at least) Prescene of Gond with Midnight Guard, (because why not play mana ramp colors for infinite tokens turn 3?) and Lightning Bolt are all ban-worthy, but no one has noticed so far....oh and did I mention Ponder and Preordain are legal?

Spell Pierce is modern legal?!?! WHY HAS NO ONE MADE ME AWARE UNTIL NOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS BANNED!!

While I like the sound of the thopters and Phyrexian Walkers, I think the surprise value of Kobolds is a little more exciting and would rather just side in answers to Electrickery and Shrivel...and Evincar's Justice come to think of it. Plus, are you really intimidated at first glance to a board of 8 Kobolds? I'd be a little freaked out if I saw Ornithopters and Goblins adding up.

Oh..wow you're right. I completely overlooked that.Wow, I need a new answer to board removal that doesn't cost anything other than 1 and blue xD

And I didn't actually know Ornithopter was common in M15. That's...wow that break Pauper artifacts a bit. While this is good to know, I can't quite tell what could go for Ornithopter. War Marshall, Fodder, and Command all add more to the board, extremely helping out the Keep & Rites combo, and you need to hit 4 lands to go off. The only thing I can think of is Shared Discovery, which acts as a Not-Keep Watch. So..I'm kind of stuck on how it fits...any suggestions?

I believe that's uncommon sadly

You could respond honestly? Maybe your meta isn't flooded with mono blue delver?

Why not run 8 artifact lands and 4 pendants to make Galvanic blast easier to get metal craft for?

"Tier One Pauper" never fails. Everyone wants a strong deck

Not to rain on your parade, but most of these cards you've discussed in your deck are well known for powerhouse cards in the format. The only thing I see on hear that screams "new" is Errant Ephemeron, which is either due to A) I haven't seen it in a while or B) there has probably been better options. While nowadays people play this with a splash of black for Angler and removal, I will say the following...

If you're gonna commit to Mono Blue, do it with a little more efficiency. Brainstorm is cute, but Ponder and Preordain don't require Evolving Wilds to work, and honestly those are better in Pauper for that reason. If you insist on Brainstorm, throw in Terramorphic Expanse to increase your value in Brainstorm. Also, drop down on Gush and Daze IMO. Sure, "free" spells are good, but how is replaying a land good in the long run? Try stuff like Memory Lapse, which not only answers a problem but forces your opponent to lose out on card advantage by giving them back the same card AND netting card advantage for yourself. For sideboard, (or main board) throw in Spreading Seas. That card is monstrous in it's ability to shut down decks that rely on certain colors with few lands, like Goblin.

On one more note regarding Brainstorm, while I see your point in running it, as I said earlier with Terramorphic Expanse, you HAVE to have shuffle effects to make it good. Why not consider Wayfarer's Bauble? It's an easy turn one play that helps ramp in a color that NEEDS ramp at most times. It also gives you the flexibility needed to more reliably run stuff like Daze and Gush, using it as a ruse to ramp and make your opponent feel safe, then after you get a land you Daze to catch them off guard with a Daze, or helped make Gush's ridiculous cost a little easier.

Overall, I'd recommend doing a little bit more research before stating you broke Pauper. I feel like you jumped the gun after you made this deck out of excitement. Yes, it's strong, but if you looked a little deeper you'd have seen a few Primer off of your first page on a Google search. I like that someone is putting out a Pauper deck, but remember: If its good, it's probably been done before, so look it up before you make it. Nine out of ten you'll find some sweet decklists you can check out and modify to your liking, while not coming off a bit brash.

You don't play a lot of Pauper, do you?

No problem! I'm just here to spite the meta and like cool decks :3

I can't think of a single Evoke card that Mimic Vat wouldn't benefit from. Hell, You could run Faerie Macabre just to get off a turn by turn discard. I say run Evoke Vat control with stuff like Trophy Mage and Padeem to protect it while it runs rampant on your Evoke Vat engine. Throw in some crazy counterspells your opponent won't expect like Mana Tithe and Hinder (that's right, I just went to Kamigawa. ) and you could slam some power cards in sideboard to just shut down stuff like Stony Silence and Blood Moon. This deck already sounds amazing.

Darksteel Citadel? Or just control stuff for it? Stony Silence? Run Smelt/Disenchant. Esper/Jeskai Mimic Vat control could be beastly. You want to spice things up? Run Mana Tithe and see who prepares for that. I've seen people scoop to Mana Tithe.

Did you just say best budget idea ever? I love Forcemage and if you asked me if I ever considered that idea in Commander I'd slam my fist on the table and say, "THE DREAM WILL NOT DIE DAMMIT!!" Modern? Put it in. Test this. I need to see this deck on this website so I can start buying it. I need to walk in my local Modern tournament and turn heads with this. I need to make people say, "Did he just Mimic Vat a Timbermare?"

You know, I never noticed that Ambuscade Shaman did that. I personally recommend tossing Deepcavern Imp with it's echo cost and just running Mournwillow, that chance to stop chump blocks can get you a big win quite often.

Gonti would destroy in Modern. Cool, I'll tutor out a card that rips Emrakul out of your deck? Or I steal Platinum Angel and cast it? Or I take a key card like your one grapeshot out and kill your combo deck? Gonti should not be $1 man. Also, don't trash the Demonlord, I've run him in a few decks and he hits like a train when he gets going.

I think Liliana is overrated, but that's just me. I feel like her price tag is just to hard to justify, like Tarmogoyf, but I've said this for years and everyone laughs at me for it. I personally love Eldritch Evolution, I just wish I could afford to run it as a deck. Like I said, I like the deck, I just personally feel like if you ran cards that are bombs like Gonti that no one preps for you could pull some surprise wins out of your hat.

I find it hard in my opinion to justify Eldritch Evolution in the deck. Two cards pull out Obliterator and Geralf's can pull Gary while make a nice drain combo, sure, but I feel like that's not enough. Why not drop Liliana and run another big 4 drop, since you're going primarily black there are plenty of big 4 drops out there. Hell, Demonlord of Ashmouth combos nicely with Relentless Dead and Geralf's and he's a huge 4 drop flying beater, but I know his downside can be harsh to handle.

OH MY GOD, that card is evil!! This only proves why Orzhov control is so hard to play against!!!
