Controlled Burn (Pauper)

Rakdos burn deck: utilizes cheap burn and loss of life spells with draw and discard support.

Alms of the vein and Fiery temper help to support card advantage with thrill of possibility and cathartic reunion. Plus alms and sovereign's kiss help to gain life lost in combat. Skewer the critics becomes another lightning bolt anytime an opponent takes damage which can be for free when piranha marsh enters the battle field. Blightning disrupts the opponent's hand which buys some time to draw into gas. Tyrant's choice is just great at getting that 4 life knocked out in early game.

Viscera dragger provides cycling for card advantage and it's unearth ability allows me to swing into an open field. Spelleater wolverine provides great defense as it has double strike anytime there are 3 or more instant/sorcery spells in my graveyard. He also provides a great opportunity to hit for six by attacking with only 1 or 2 spells in the graveyard then casting instants after no blockers are declared. It's a trick that only works once, but it's great when it does work. Lastly, organ grinder allows one to exile cards from the graveyard to drop the opponent 3 life. He dies easily, but if he can hang on till upkeep, he can get the job done.

The side board is designed to change the deck strategy by shifting from spell to creature centric strategies. Ghastly demise can get rid of mana heavy bombs and violent impact is great to mess with tron decks. Grisly survivor has a trigger ability that can work as a great combat trick if he is unblocked by cycling or using thrill of possibility to discard. Gurmag Angler can delve out at low cast and attack hard. Finally, Bojuka bog is great for dredge decks like tormented existence or to screw with tron graveyards.
