The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

The storm card in this deck is astral steel, and the idea is that we play it on our elusive spellfist, hopefully after playing a number of other noncreature spells that buff the spellfist, while in addition getting untaps off of the thermo-alchemist, and swinging in for the victory, aided by a double cleave if need be.

Deck discussion for Pauper Storm

I'd ditch the Brainstorm, since you don't have a way to shuffle your library, thus locking down your next few turns whenever you use it. Ponder, Catalog, Preordain, or Divination would all be good choices.

Dream Cache may also be a decent choice. Similar to Brainstorm, but drops stuff to the bottom of your library instead of the top, allowing you to deck cycle a bit faster.

ok thanks, i'm not aware of all the best draw spells in pauper, and i owned a playset of brainstorm, so i put it in. Thanks for the suggestion! I think i will go with mulldrifter, because it is just a better version of divination

I really hate to destroy decks but, as pauper is an official sanctioned format, there is a bann-list (http://magic.wizards.com/en/gameinfo/gameplay/formats/pauper) and
"Empty the Warrens", like nearly all other usable storm cards (save for "Ground Rift", "Astral Steel", and "Sprouting Vines ") are on this list.

There is a sub-format named casual paper pauper and paper Peasant which are not sanctioned, the very essence of this sub-formats are no ban-lists

Good to know, thanks for the info. Was the Storm mechanic deemed too strong for the pauper format? Your comment of, "nearly all other usable storm cards" leaves me wondering if that's the conclusion they came to.

Banned are (stormcards): "Empty the Warrens", "Grapeshot" and "Temporal Fissure".
And yes, I would guess that storm in pauper can be really strong. Nearly all the other 'core' cards are directly available in pauper or can be replaced with nearly the same power level. To make it worse "Seething Song", "Rite of Flame" or "Preordain" are available for pauper.
