First cut at a Pauper EDH deck for Disciple of Deceit. This was an interesting deckbuilding challenge due to the repeatable transmute on the commander. Tap cards were selected to be usable to hit opponents permanents or the commander (when attacking is not an option). Untap effects are to try squeeze multiple activations in when needed, but work with Viridian Longbow and Hermetic Study otherwise, with plenty of deathtouch. Ghostly Flicker is a key card for recurring tap/untap cycles when paired with Archaeomancer or Mnemonic Wall.

Effects like deathtouch, pinging, return from graveyard, counters, discard, and removal are distributed across CMC so you have options on what to transmute no matter what is in your hand.

Many cards with madness, retrace, flashback, unearth, cycling, and conspire boost the main game plan.

This deck is likely to be tricky to play given the number of options and the amount you need to remember about what cards are in the deck.
