Anybody have some advice on a competitive Pauper deck to play? I have been out of the format for quite some time and looking to get back in. Last I played storm was a thing lol. I am definitely looking to stay competitive but at the same time I'd like a deck that's fun to play. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Do you prefer aggro, control, mid-range, tempo, or combo? More interactive or less?

Wait until the end of the month to find out if Peragrine Drake gets banned. That will have the biggest impact on what you decide to ply, outside of personal preference of archetype.
I prefer simple. Least amount of chance to screw things up. I used to play a red burn deck but I got really bored of that and wouldn't want to go back.

My suggestion is to go Affinity or Delver, since they are never going away and have multiple lines of play. Also U Delver provides a base in common with modern and legacy.

Affinity was definitely a thought. How much are Lotus Petals going for these days? Where is the best place for decklists? I don't even remember the site I used to use.

I like this suggestion. Its fairly easy to play but complex enough to offer long term reward unlike burn. Its always competitive and scales well with the rest of the competition.

Do you possibly have a link to some decklists? I used to find the winning decklist posted on the magic website but I can't seem to find them.

Also we have two different pauper primers, here and here.
It seems like the deck is sliding back towards the fling + atog combo and away from metalcraft beatdown, probably as a response to the drake combo and needing to race it. They are also running ancient grudge over Gorilla Shaman in the side, which I don't like since affinity mirror is going to come up constantly.
Any side boarding advice for that deck list. If Mirror matches come up alot, what should I take out? Sorry if I am asking too many questions. It's been awhile.

No problem, I love answering questions. The cards in the lower right are the sideboard, for some reason it made the word sideboard invisible previously so I added a number in front of it to get it to appear. The posted deck is probably right about most of the sideboard, with the exception of ancient grudge which, as I said, really should be Gorilla Shaman to blow up affinity lands.
I am also not sure about Hydroblast, as Affinity has life gain and should goldfish faster then burn. But Drake has upset the meta so much that I can't say what should go where for certain. Personally my side would be:
I price tag on Gorilla Shaman is a little high. Probably why they went with Ancient Grudge. Also why I will probably going with Ancient Grudge for the time being lol.

Yeah, it only costs that much because it hoses Affinity in pauper. The paper version is $.25, so you can see why it costs so much.
Put it on the "buy it later" list, but it is too good to leave forever.

I just don't know if I am ready for the investment. My main problem last time was having way too much money tied up in virtual cards when I was playing standard.

Another deck I really like that has been Tier 1 at times is the Kuldotha decks running Kor Skyfisher, Kuldotha Rebirth, and Ichor Wellspring. There is a Jeskai and Boros variant. I'm inclined to believe the Jeskai variant is probably better. They are pretty inexpensive over all.

So that didn't happen. Does that make it the deck to beat?
Pretty much. It makes up about 20% - 30% of the meta game. So make sure you plan for it. Affinity is generally good against drake, but, people tend to pact affinity hate which Kaladesh improved upon. Delver is a strong option but there are so many versions of delver out ther it's hard to know what that means anymore. Mono g land destruction is pretty strong, as is soul sisters, but both have their problems. Try to play a style you are familiar with and you will enjoy playing. The only hard no is anything midrange as drake just crushes anything that isn't quick
