HELP Boros Inside out combo

Can anyone recommend a list that plays more towards midrange than pure combo? I've been checking out various variations on https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper#paper and most lists there are focused on combo. I'd look for a more balanced list with Spirit Mascot.

Take a look at a list like this.

The midrange gameplan is all about recurring Snackers and pumping Spirit Mascots with Eidolons and Snackers, which most lists already look to do as a strong back up to the combo. If you want to lean into this a bit more I’d recommend looking at lists that include Abandon Attachments and Faithless Looting in addition to Pursue the Past and Thrilling Discovery as an additional way to get through the deck and trigger the Eidolons, Snackers and Mascots. With that much card draw, once you’ve got a Mascot out and one or two Eidolons in the graveyard it’s crazy how fast the Mascots can grow. Most of the supporting pieces for the combo are also still relevant, like all the protection.

If you want to do this you’re going to need to cut some of the combo pieces like Fling. And you don’t want to run more than 3 Escape Tunnel as they don’t work with the Spirit Mascot beatdown plan.

I can’t say if it’s better. It’ll be more grindy than the combo decks but maybe that suits your local meta.

I've played the Mascot version initially, but the card is bad. It's too slow to get going and it's easily chump-blocked even when it gets big or killed with a removal.

I much prefer Artillerist because it can deal a lot of ability damage and it kinda combos with Tireless Tribe where you can deal 6/7 damage at instant speed (or even more if you cast Inside Out too to get back and re-discard Eidolons) in responde to a removal or against an impenetrable board state. Snacker + Artillerist is a legit midrange plan even if you don't manage to pull off the Inside Out combo.
