The lantern control of Pauper.

Use Thoughtpicker Witch to make sure our opponent never draws anything good!

We can sac Myr Servitor, Dusk Legion Zealot, and Sanitarium Skeleton to fuel our engine. Myr Servitor is generally the best target, since once you have one in the yard they come back for free as long as one lives. Skeleton works just as well mid/late game. If we sac a Zealot, we can get extra value by using Unearth on it, as well. This can also bring back a dead Witch if the get ganked.

A bunch of cantrips keep our yard full and our draws good. Memory Lapse is easier to cast for this deck than Counterspell, and forced our opponent to either redraw the card if it's bad or slow, or we can Thoughtpick it away after it's on top. Don't need to say much about Chainer's Edict.
