How do you make Twiddle viable in pauper?

This semi-combo, semi-control, semi-burn deck uses Tandem Lookout's and Ophidian Eye's unreal card draw potential to cycle through your deck as you burn them out.

Utilize early removal spells and counter magic to stay alive. Use Thrill of Possibility to skim through your deck for the pieces you need, match a blue permanent with a red creature, then spin the wheels until your opponent is on fire.

Twiddle targeting a paired Thermo-Alchemist can draw you two cards and shock your opponent. Target an Izzet Boilerworks and net a red mana as you cycle and ping. Target a blocker so that your Lookout or Firebrand archer gets in for damage.

Once you have your engine setup, you can do 20 or more damage in a single turn.

Sideboard is based around this deck's biggest weaknesses, smart removal and fast aggro. Without your engine going, it's hard to win, so an opponent's electrickery and removals will destroy you.

Dispel helps against the control matchups. Tormod's Crypt against graveyard shenanigans. Prowess creatures are great if your opponent is also creature light. Blazing Volley to counter go-wide strategies (if Goblin Storm is in your meta, replace with Electrickery).

This deck has a very bad matchup against mono black control and similar decks. You MUST win the counter wars to keep your creatures on the field. They will not run out of removal, so you have to try and go off all on one turn.
