Deck Description

[u]Basic idea[/u]
A friend of mine likes to play complicated control-ish decks (I counter your counterspell that counters one of my spells and so on), so I came up with this idea for him to play. [[Thought Courier]] can give you the chance to draw another card that you just needed and survive one more turn (we call it the Yu-Gi effect) another thing that he really loves t do.

[u]Maybe-board[/u]
[[Fodder Tosser]] and [[Furtive Analyst]] are in the maybe-board for the moment.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other pauper decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

[[Thought Courier]] is a very potent creature in this deck, as it's one of the few cards in paupe that allows you to draw first and discard afterwards!. This allows you to push your luck, activate [[Thought Courier]] and see what you draw. If you get lucky...Yu-Gi-Oh! (as a friend of mine calls his lucky draws), if you don't, well it was worth the try.
To back up the Courier [[Faithless Looting]] and can be used to discard cards to allow you to cast things for their madness-costs.

Faithless Looting?

A good card, and at least a good alternative to "Cathartic Reunion". We haven't played the deck all to much so it will have to show if the mana is available to play all those spells discarded with "Cathartic Reunion" and/ or "Faithless Looting".
I'm also looking for a good finisher instead of "Sokenzan Spellblade", but I didn't want to make deck 1000 with "Kiln Fiend"/ "Nivix Cyclops"/ "Wee Dragonauts". Do you have any suggestions on this one?

I think you should have enough mana to play all those spells. I would personally even consider more Cathartic or Faithless.
Another great card I forgot is Insolent Neonate. It allows you more opportunities to activate Madness at instant speed, which is quite powerful for things like Distemper of the Blood and Senseless Rage. And on top of that it draws you another card. And it has menace, which is more relevant with Senseless Rage in the mix.
I'm not sure of what you want for a finisher...

I was thinking about "Merfolk Looter" (or "Mad Prophet") to more often activate Madness. But Menace could be an interesting option.
For now I will shuffle some card-numbers a little bit: -1 Artificer's Epiphany, -1 Cathartic Reunion, +2 Faithless Looting, -2 Looter il-Kor, +2 Insolent Neonate. I have also removed Sokenzan Spellbladeand added Pyre Hound instead.
When I had the chance to do some more testgames I will post how it went.
