I am holding a Pauper tournament for the first time next week and I still don't know what I should play. We decided that for our first tournament, we would basically allow all cards and we'll see what happens.

I took a look at the MTGO Classic decks, but there are a lot of strong cards that are not available online, like Hymn to Tourach or Chain Lightning.

So what do you think would be my best bet? Affinity is looking good, but maybe some combo deck could work, even though I am not very fond of combo decks in general. Frantic Search and friends could be used for a nice high tide deck, but you can't play Brain Freeze.

As you can see, I am still pretty confused, so maybe someone either more experienced with the format or more capable in general could give me some hints or suggestions.

PS: I won't go and buy some sinkholes
