Midrange Pauper

Blue Tempo/Midrange (Pauper Mono-Blue Spells) — This is a mono-blue tempo/midrange deck built around cheap cantrips and interaction to control the game early, then land oversized threats for low cost. Cards like Ponder, Preordain, Brainstorm, and Deep Analysis fill the graveyard and smooth draws, while Spell Pierce, Counterspell, Snap, and Augur of Bolas help disrupt the opponent and maintain tempo. It aims to win by flipping Delver of Secrets early or by casting Tolarian Terror and Cryptic Serpent cheaply as large finishers once enough instants and sorceries have been played.
