I'm sure everyone has been trying out the new cards from MM3 downshifts as well. I recently got destroyed by the UR counter-burn deck, and having then built one myself it feels almost as degenerate as drake combo was.
The two thunderous wrath's are great, but testing more of them they tended to gum up my hand. The 12 cards that rearrange the deck make it very consistent, and delver flips frequently. The deck is probably not great against real control, but it chews through aggro decks and the various tempo and midrange decks in the format. It seems to me that the deck is going to be very strong in the future.

Pauper: UB Wight Phantasm RB Burn UR Faerie Rites of Initiation
Mental misstep is actually memory lapse, I just got them confused in my head when I typed the list down. The deck has deviated pretty far from the aforementioned list, as miracle is a nonbo with mass card draw and I often ran out of burn. I will post the new list tonight.
The above is my current maindeck, side is what you expect (smash to smithereens, dispels, etc.)
When I get together the funds I intend to move two tandem lookouts to the side, remove the two gush from the deck, and bring in fourmystic remoras, switch out dispels for red elemental blast, and I am thinking of getting a set of daze instead of mana leak. The issue is the combo is extremely weak against control while being amazing against aggro decks and other tempo decks. Mystic Remoras draw cards against all but two decks in pauper right now, and would go a long way towards guaranteeing the burn win.
My list:
4 thermo-alchemist
4 tandem lookout
4 lightning bolt
3 rift bolt
3 magma jet
2 Thunderous Wrath
4 mana leak
2 gitaxian probe
4 ponder
4 brainstorm
