I have a Rasputin EDH deck I am trying my best to recreate in pauper. Obviously Mistmeadow Witch needs to be the commander. I am focusing on abusing ETB creatures and the synergies that can create. For thematic reasons, I am requiring the running of all common blink spells.
One thing I am wondering about is if its worth putting a Mesmeric Sliver package in, without the sliver they are not nearly as good, but they can at least be recured with Scrivener and Mnemonic Wall...
Yeah I have found that wincons are harder to find in pauper, strictly due to how uncommon infinites are in pauper, (punny, yes?) Personally I was going to build an Azorius Guildmage edh but I decided against because I couldn't find any wincons :/ There are a few White and Blue infect fliers that you could put to use, and protect with the witch?
I will take a look at them. Most times our pauper games boil down to beating with small creatures... Izzit will burn people to death sometimes... and Selesnya just builds, buffs, and swings..
I see the bigger weakness in the deck being a lack of ways to sweep the board.
I would love your input!

Hmmm Oh yes wincons... about that, have any suggestions? I just kind of went crazy with the blinkyness.
Ulamog's Crusher is always a decent wincon.

edit: You don't run echoing truth for token decks if those are prevalent.
