I'm a long-time subscriber who just saw this video for the first time. The production quality has improved dramatically in the past few years. Your content, however, was as good then as it is now.
"There will probably not be any more affinity cards" and then Kaladesh R&D thought "let's have a card that effectively has affinity, but only one, so people wonder why we did it."
Thanks for all of your fantastic content! Especially the pauper stuff. The way you break down decks is really entertaining but still very informative. You and the professor are a huge help in keeping us budget players excited about the game and make us feel part of the community when it can FEEL like if you don't have $500 laying around you can't come to the party.
I've been wondering for awhile what Pauper Magic was, so thanks for both explaining what it is and giving some very good advice on what decks are working best right now. Greatly appreciated.
Congrats on the Wizards shout out. You've been getting a lot of attention as of late and you definitely deserve it! Pauper is a format I think is super interesting but it's not played anywhere near me and Magic online likes to pretend Apple computers don't exist. So I just have to live vicariously through other Pauper players.
Thanks for posting this! Pauper is a great working-class accessible format. You can use Lava Spike instead of Chain Lightning. Glad you mentioned paper Pauper. Keep it up! I'll be sharing this all kinds.
Currently playing Affinity online and building a foil paper version, great deck in the format. Slivers is also pretty fast deck in Pauper, surprised it wasn't mentioned.. Love the channel btw, keep up the consistency of videos!!
Just made a pauper elves deck. It's very top tier now in 2019, I can combo quirion ranger with well-wisher to gain a crazy amount of health. I got to like 400 against my friends rainbow Tron deck before he realized what was happening.
I have two players in my gaming club who think that the only way to win are rares and mythics I want a pauper deck just to show them that commons actually have some bite. Oh and your cat are so cute.
Congrats on the mention! Love the channel! Gotta ask where's the elf' love? Next pauper video, I'd like to see your idea of an elves deck or your feedback on existence no elves. I've been fiddling with the mtggoldfish pauper elf deck. Keep it up!
Pauper is alot of fun, anyone who wants to build the temur tron list should look into the izzet tron list also. I think it has to be less than $10-15 extra to pick up the missing Izzet list pieces and have 2 decks. I think the Izzet list might be a little more reliable than the temur list because it can interact with the stack alot more reliably in a format full of counter magic and black control but the temur list interacts with itself in such a pleasing way its fun to play both lists.
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ultra-budget-infect/ It's not quite 5 dollar but it's still really really cheap, and i think it's one of the best pauper decks, because it has the possibility to consistently win turn 2 or 3 if the opponent doesn't have an answer on the spot.
Big respect to you getting more and more successful! I love your videos and I honestly hope you stay around showing us these awesome decks for years to come! would love to meet you and give you a game one day :)
so. i'm watching this again. it's well, now. 2018 of september.. and you have... 80000 more subscribers. sheesh. keep it going eh! also thanks. i second an update as mentions by hydralisk102.
Nice video! Personally, I play a Domain Zoo deck! It's not a super tier 1 deck but it's really fun to play and I completely love it! Your cat love sooo happy! Haha! XD
i built a mono blue flyiers with some draw and counter thats fun, also have a mono green stompy deck thats awesome. was thinking of trying to make a selesnya silver deck
Great list like Pauper, best format! I am playing at a modern event next weekened! Which deck would u prefer? Mono green Infect, mono red budget burn deck or blisetring rage deck (blistercoil combo, with mana cheats and titans strength etc.). I would like to win some matches
U/R Delver - I know it would knock it out of pauper but. Wee Dragonauts and Stormchaser Mage would be a nice addidision to the deck. just going with the theme
guys if you want a cool deck to start for pauper the go for goblins or affinity they Are easy compared to many of the other decks and will win fairly consistenly and if you play online you can get Those decks on mtggoldfish for around 20-40 tix and most of us can affort that😆
Count the number of mana symbols in the casting cost of your permanents. For instance, if you have a Black Knight (BB), a Hypnotic Specter (1BB), and three swamps (no casting cost) in play, your devotion to black would be 4.
dumbjackass3 There are a few cards, like High Tide, Goblin Grenade, and a few others, that were printed at common level in paper but not at common level online. Pauper began as an online only format for MTGO, so most playgroups play with those aforementioned cards not being legal. If you play pauper, and want to play Goblin Grenade, check with your playgroup if they are fine with you playing it.
"They are not gonna print too many more cards that are relevant affinity." Yep. Sure. Of course that didn't happen with Kaladesh. Oh what's that Aether Revolt, you are gonna break the format?
Very hard to do and have it be competitive. Mono green alone was tough to play competitve wise. I know personally and have done it to great success myseplf. U/G budget infect? I dunno how to help you there. I always preferred mono green. I can try to help you if you are going the pauper route. For either deck. Mono Green: (cheaper route $5-$15) Creatures: 16 4 glistener elf 4 ichorclaw myr 4 necropede 4 blight mamba Spells: 24 4 apostles blessing 4 Rangers guile 4 Giant growth 4 titanic growth 4 mutagenic growth 4 predator's striike Lands: 20 20 forest U/G Infect creatures: 12 4 glistener elf 4 blighted agent 4 ichorclaw myr Spells: 27 4 mutagenic growth 4 giant growth 3 apostles blessing 3 distortion strike 4 titanic growth 2 phyto burst 3 rangers guile 2 spell pierce 2 cancel Lands: 21 4 thornwood falls 6 islands 11 forest as for sides boards that is on you buddy. I am no super confidant in the u/g list i gave you but I am confidant in the mono green. Try them out online or on cockatrice and see where it gets you. good luck.

Clear, well-spoken, and very informative. Subscribed. Great video!
"There will probably not be any more affinity cards" and then Kaladesh R&D thought "let's have a card that effectively has affinity, but only one, so people wonder why we did it."
Ben Richardson lmao
Can you do an updated top 10 pauper list dev? Miss these so much, pauper doesn't get much love anymore
hydralisk102 true
Aren’t we getting tourneys soon? I know your comments older but I can’t remember lol
Paper tourneys I meant to say
Yes they are. :D Hopefully they will be posted somewhere to watch

Glad your channel is still doing well mate. Keep it up.

I bet the professor will dig this.
Would love to see an updated list of your top 10 Pauper decks, Dev!
Congratulations SBMTG! I've liked this channel from the beginning.
Finally Pauper! I've been waiting for this for a while. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Currently playing Affinity online and building a foil paper version, great deck in the format. Slivers is also pretty fast deck in Pauper, surprised it wasn't mentioned.. Love the channel btw, keep up the consistency of videos!!
Congrats SBMTG. You deserve the credit for all the hard work you do.
2019 is happy to see young Ziggy
Congrats man! Saw it on Reddit. You totally deserve it
This was really helpful, having a blast with the kids making pauper decks lol thanks devin

Oh and your cat are so cute.
+Venefica82 Just depends on what format you are playing.
Yes, get them to play Pauper but I assure you some decks like affinity can dominate standard decks.
Gratz on your spotlight. Subbing in the hope of many more pauper vids
Dev can you do another brief overview of the pauper metagame like this please?? I've just built my first pauper deck, GB Aristocrats.
Tron also counters Affinity in a way because Fangren Marauder shuts down the Atog / Fling combo
Congrats on the spotlight on wizards! You deserve it man!
Congrats on the mention! Love the channel! Gotta ask where's the elf' love? Next pauper video, I'd like to see your idea of an elves deck or your feedback on existence no elves. I've been fiddling with the mtggoldfish pauper elf deck. Keep it up!

Getting into Pauper, thanks for the video
I noticed you missed infect, 5$ and really good
Elconnerre can you please link your decklist as i have been trying to find a £5 deck list but im struggling :)
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ultra-budget-infect/
It's not quite 5 dollar but it's still really really cheap, and i think it's one of the best pauper decks, because it has the possibility to consistently win turn 2 or 3 if the opponent doesn't have an answer on the spot.
Great overview and I really liked the co host as well :)
Big respect to you getting more and more successful! I love your videos and I honestly hope you stay around showing us these awesome decks for years to come!
would love to meet you and give you a game one day :)
Would like a part 2/update to move in Elves and Stompy, could touch on Slivers maybe since they're a fun tribal
so. i'm watching this again. it's well, now. 2018 of september.. and you have... 80000 more subscribers. sheesh. keep it going eh! also thanks. i second an update as mentions by hydralisk102.
Liked for the decks. Favourited for Ziggy.
i like that your content is not whiny like some other channels. great stuff. plz do moar modern! :)))
Nice video! Personally, I play a Domain Zoo deck! It's not a super tier 1 deck but it's really fun to play and I completely love it!
Your cat love sooo happy! Haha! XD
i built a mono blue flyiers with some draw and counter thats fun, also have a mono green stompy deck thats awesome. was thinking of trying to make a selesnya silver deck
Kuldotha is the city around the Great Furnace (Red Artifact Land)
Surprised I didn't see infect. I've been destroying with infect.
+Jesse Yarbrough Same here but I feel like a jerk xD
Cool video! Thought Atog was an uncommon. Was it common originally like rancor?
blaze556922 yes, he was printed as a common in antiquities and revised
You missed Tortured Existence but props for the kitty.
playing tortured existence is the torture
Why is it mostly on MTGO? Seems being cheap would be a huge draw for paper Magic.
You should do this again
One of my favorite pauper decks is Turbo Exhume, at least after the banning of Cloud of Faeries.
Great list like Pauper, best format! I am playing at a modern event next weekened! Which deck would u prefer? Mono green Infect, mono red budget burn deck or blisetring rage deck (blistercoil combo, with mana cheats and titans strength etc.). I would like to win some matches
Can you make buget deck with Wall of Resurgence,Sylvan Advocate and Eldrazi Displacer like ramp so we can play Crush of Tentacles?
that's a great survey of the field - thank you.
I'm new to pauper but this video helped me a bit. :)
Will there ever be a pauper play queue on arena.... ??? Thoughts!?
Moar!!! I demand MOAAAR!!! No really, I'd like to see some more pauper, love it (:
I'm sad mono black zombies didn't make the pauper list. I've been having a blast with it online
Cool video! Thanks. I love your cat, too!
Best Video yet man keep it up man!
Time for a part two? 😀
Did you use another camera as usual? it looks like the video-quality went down
interessting list btw!
Just stumbled onto this! What a great set! Revisit this topic in a new video!
I have a Sliver-Infect-Unblockable pauper deck that usually wins on turn 3.
isnt pauper commons only? would that mean the Urza's lands are out?
U/R Delver - I know it would knock it out of pauper but. Wee Dragonauts and Stormchaser Mage would be a nice addidision to the deck. just going with the theme
+Dan Acton Stormchaser Mage in uncommon. But Wee Dragonauts could fit indeed!
Domenico Monardo I kinda placed Stormchaser as a new version of Wee Dragonauts. Mana cost, flying, etc etc
Yeah, Stormchaser is INSANE. UWR prowess with stormchaser, swiftspear and monastery mentor could be a thing
No bogles? :( I've been playing bogles and been doing incredibly well in pauper.
+Andrés Trífero Sorry, I've already seen it xD i'm blind
Andrés Trífero Bogles is my favorite deck lmao
guys if you want a cool deck to start for pauper the go for goblins or affinity they Are easy compared to many of the other decks and will win fairly consistenly and if you play online you can get Those decks on mtggoldfish for around 20-40 tix and most of us can affort that😆
Elves?
Donovan Peterson too easily stopped sadly to be tier 1 more of tier 2.5
Can you please update a video like this? With actual metagame on pauper?
Just use mtg top 8
Congratz man!!
can you update this video? all mtggoldfish links are error 404 :(
i bult a ur budget spells pauper today. and a grixis improvise. and ub ublockable combat instants.
Can you do edh
yes colorless eldrazi ramp WOO!!!
How does your devotion to a color get tallied? Lol I'm an old school player trying to get into the newer stuff? Anyone please help
Count the number of mana symbols in the casting cost of your permanents. For instance, if you have a Black Knight (BB), a Hypnotic Specter (1BB), and three swamps (no casting cost) in play, your devotion to black would be 4.
I look back at this video and wish pauper stayed this way.......
What about blue green delver?
Why doesn't Goblins run goblin grenade? It was previously printed at common.
its banned
Wotc's site doesn't say it is on a quick goggle search.
dumbjackass3 There are a few cards, like High Tide, Goblin Grenade, and a few others, that were printed at common level in paper but not at common level online. Pauper began as an online only format for MTGO, so most playgroups play with those aforementioned cards not being legal. If you play pauper, and want to play Goblin Grenade, check with your playgroup if they are fine with you playing it.
"Let's talk about decks, baby". Hahahaha!
I'm surprised Slivers didn't make it in the top 10. It seems pretty strong in pauper.
way better camera now a days
another deck ive done well with is G/W slivers
What about soul sisters?
with cloud banned I might as well get back into it.
What about stompy??
i really like naya landfall in pauper its amazing
I think the part I like best of your videos are the cats :D
No B/G Dredge?
Hi from 2021! Yeah, about Affinity...
can you make a 10$ deck that can beat abzan aggro
loving the pauper love
what about G W sliver infect
No elves? :c
Herick Moreira did u not see the hex proof build that ran elf’s?
i miss elves, which is a pretty strong deck as well
Props for the kitteh!
it's called "kuldotha" because some builds run Kuldotha Rebirth.
Dude where my Slivers at? Love pauper and slivers is amazing in pauper
congrats. great channel.
im new to magic so idk what the tier 1means...can someone tell me?
basically just means most likely to win. its known ton win tournements
Wrong, it means it is most USED. Given this usually means it wins more but to say it will work better than something you might come up with is wrong.
"They are not gonna print too many more cards that are relevant affinity." Yep. Sure. Of course that didn't happen with Kaladesh. Oh what's that Aether Revolt, you are gonna break the format?
I am making u/g Infect pauper because modern infect is too costly me. I only play commander and pauper looks cool format.
Very hard to do and have it be competitive. Mono green alone was tough to play competitve wise. I know personally and have done it to great success myseplf. U/G budget infect? I dunno how to help you there. I always preferred mono green. I can try to help you if you are going the pauper route. For either deck.

as for sides boards that is on you buddy. I am no super confidant in the u/g list i gave you but I am confidant in the mono green. Try them out online or on cockatrice and see where it gets you. good luck.
no Infect...? 😭
time to go gets some commons!!!
What about infect...I red blue green infect and almost never...ever loose. It's only like $25
No elves?
I got some great ideas now ty
Dev what about Infect
Lmao in the turbo fog pauper video you posted yesterday, a year later, you’re wearing this exact same shirt talking about pauper. Weird
