Current playlist I will be playing this week. I cut scrapyard steelbreaker completely. It has not been impactful at all. Instead I'm developing the 1 cost artifact plan. Moonsnare prototype smooths out the mana curve and add utility to the experimental synthesizer or kenku artificer. It also increases the ability to regularly play gearseeker serpent on turn three.Dire mimic might be my favorite new thing to try. I had an opponent cast kuldotha rebirth the first two turns, as a treasure this can help cast sulfurous blast now that it's legal in pauper. The synergy with kenku artificer cannot be understated. There is a 8/8 flying creature potential on turn 4, which is pretty good for a deck that can muster up 10 damage from galvanic blasts and Pyrite spellbombs played on earlier turns.This will be my first week playing this version so I'm not sure of the counts. I might want 2 ponders and 3 moonsnare prototypes or something like that.Sideboard is set to what I expect locally.

Experimental Synthesizer could be something for the deck as it gives you additional draw, can be searched with Trinket Mage and can generate you a 2/2 token if you desperately need one. It would be interesting to get a short summary or hear which cards performed well in those 3 matches and which didn't.
Myr servitor under performed for sure. There was a lot of graveyard hate and I hardly got them back from the graveyard. And with the bridges, it's much easier to maintain metalcraft.I never played scrapyard mongrel and it was the first to be sideboarded out. I think I'm going to replace them with gearseeker serpent.Kenku artificer worked very well turning spellbombs into flyers.Sylvok lifestaff will be going in the main. The life gain was more beneficial than the 1 power bonesplitter provided.Blade-tribe berserkers still just end games. 6/6 haste is very hard for people to deal with.Scrapyard steelbreaker was a star. I never got to use it with Fling though. Trinket mage is still great, mana fixing or finding removal.I have found I do need mass removal. I have used eletrickery before, but it now has the same problem as myr servitor in that 1 damage just isn't enough anymore.I didn't sideboard armguard familiar in any of the matches. But I am going to keep them in and see how they do against more aggro decks.
Graveyard hate is a part of almost any sideboards, some decks even play it mainboard, so yeah, a replacement for Myr Servitor would be an idea. What about some affinity creatures? Frogmite, Myr Enforcer, Steelfin Whale (or Gearseeker Serpent which you already mentioned)?Personally I would rather try to target a bridge-land with Kenku Artificer. Anyone in need of an Indestructible 3/3 flyer? Yes please!Sylvok Lifestaff vs. Bonesplitter is a question of aggro vs. midrange, and as this decks looks more like a midrange deck, Sylvok Lifestaff would fit better here. The only real thing in terms of mass removal in pauper (in this colour-combination) would be Fiery Cannonade, question is if 2 damage will be enough... which I doubt. If you want to have something to deal singe target damage then Orcish Vandal or Makeshift Munitions could be worth a look. Ponder could be replaced with Thoughtcast. Wha about adding a 3rd colour? I'm not really a fan of 3- coloured decks, but I saw what pressure my Naya Metalcraft deck could build up, and it was really fun to play. Any of the remaining colours could add to the decks strategy:Black Glaze Fiend, [[Vampire's Kiss]], Deadly Dispute, Vault Skirge (Phyrexian mana!)White Ardent Recruit, Auriok Sunchaser, Court Homunculus, Glint Hawk, Greatsword of TyrGreen Carapace Forger, Mirran Mettle
My observations are based on the decks I played. A lot of times I would use kenku artificer on a spell bomb because I was playing against chainers edict and grasp of darkness. Facing different removal, I would animate the bridges. I had myr enforcer in the original build (linked in the description) but I found I felt the same about it in that build as I currently do about scrapyard mongrel. Thoughtcast and ponder do 2 different things in my opinion. Typically I want to ponder early (turn 1 or turn 2) to set up my next couple plays. But replacing faithless looting with thoughtcast may be a good idea. Especially if I am pulling myr servitor.Fiery cannonade is exactly what I'm looking for in a sweeper. I also saw breath weapon. I'm not sure which would be better. I would think I would see more pirates in pauper than dragons but I could be way off about that.I think I am going to replace myr servitor with experimental synthesizer. Losing the synergy with faithless looting, but gaining more synergy with ponder is good I think and opens up a slot for thoughtcast.I'll have to give more thought to adding a color. Trinket mage mana fixing could make it viable. My concern is I feel like that's all I would use trinket mage for
I've made some changes based off this discussion.-4 myr servitor-3 scrapyard mongrel-1 bonesplitter-2 faithless looting+4 experimental synthesizer +2 gearseeker serpent+1 sylvok lifestaff+1 scrapyard steelbreaker+2 thoughtcastNext tournament is Sunday. I will post results
