Playing Pauper: Dimir Rat Lock (Pauper, Magic Online)

Last week during our Instant Deck Techs, we looked at a sweet Dimir deck that was looking to lock the opponent out of ever drawing a fresh card by having a Chittering Rats enter the battlefield every turn (usually on the opponent's draw step) with the help of Archaeomancer and Ghostly Flicker. Well, today, we're going to take the deck into a Pauper league and see just how often we can actually rat-lock our opponent in practice. The deck is essentially a twist on the UB Control archetype, with plenty of removal and some counters to back up our lock along with some card-draw creatures like Sea Gate Oracle and Mulldrifter that work really well with Ghostly Flicker. Can the Rat Lock compete in Pauper? How quickly will our opponent's scoop once they realize they will never get to draw another card? Let's get to the video and find out!
