Awesome video Prof! Been bingeing lots of Tolarian content and just got into magic recently. Glad to be a part of the community.
Welcome to the community it's one of the most welcoming I've personally been a part of
Welcome! I hope you enjoy the game!
Welcome to the party! Just don't fun police....
Have fun building decks and playing ... hit me up if u need deck building questions
I love Burn in every format! Thanks for some options on updating my deck!
Some people may pick on Burn players, but I truly feel like it represents how I'd behave if I could sling real magic, haha
Finally, somewhere i can put my fourth edition bolts.
I just found a playset revised bolts in my collection :D
The Illusive or play it in casual 😀
"Pauper!?! I'm too busy playing Brawl!" - *No one ever*
- Me on Wednesdays, but only Wednesdays because MTGA hates us.
Yautja Prime or play casual 60 card budget ... and you are talking to everybody!
I'd love to see an update/upgrade video that discusses good inclusions for each of the previous pauper deck videos.
Professor: hope your opponents brought some burn heal
*Gym Leader Blaine has entered the chat*
You have inspired me to try modern and pauper formats. Thank you Professor!!
Now I just need to get my LGS to play Pauper.
Same here buddy 😔
Same
From my experience, if there's a person who has many decks, offers people to play and lends decks for "events" that you try to help the store organize slowly people will build and buy their own decks and bang! You just introduced your store to the pauper cult.
Only 1 of the like 20 stores in the STL market does Pauper. More do Legacy than Pauper.
Same
It's been a two year battle Prof but finally we have 6-8 players at my lgs that play pauper on Sundays. It boggles my mind how hard it's been to get ppl into pauper even while providing decks. We hope as the only lgs with paper pauper we can corner the players in the area and grow.
Pauper Burn the fastest way to make everyone cry about you in a pauper meta. Besides LD Black red with sinkhole....youre the real monsters. lol Love playing burn decks as much as i do delver decks lol
Sinkhole is banned in pauper
Pauper Burn: "Wait Bolt is a common."
@69 69 what an observation, your comment is appreciated and has completely added to the endless humor in the original combat.
All the Boons were, except Recall.
@@kaseybennett7415 oof nigga it was a joke
Finally another great deck tech video about pauper. I hope that you have some more coming up.
Thanks for the Pauper Content Prof! Always appreciated. It is truly incredible how the pauper environments, in North America at least respond to your videos. Guarantee there will be at least one extra burn deck next week at LGS, and probably tonight at Gatherling. I want more, but I suppose thats why joining the Patreon has been rolling around in my head. Cheers.
That intro is literally identical to your 2015 Modern Burn vid.
I see you, Brian. I see you.
i actually just ordered cards for this deck last night, im trying to put together a few pauper decks to try and get pauper going at my LGS and when people say they dont have a pauper deck i can hand them one to play and hope they enjoy the format
Was that a Babycakes “Be Aggressive” reference?
The best part about comparing Ghitu Lavarunner to Monastary Swiftspear is that Monastary Swiftspear is now legal in pauper
Grrrr guess I’m putting the ghitus back in now 😂😂
Yessssss Prof coming in with my favorite Pauper deck!! Thanks for another great video :)
I’d love to see you tackle a necromancer deck
My friend doesn't really like to play MTG all that much, but he plays it to do something with the rest of us. I gave him this deck when we started playing pauper and he was able to get into it and get reasonably competitive, too. Great deck.
0:05 wo0at
You're still not playing Pauper
Pssh
You know its
~Fun~
Right?
Finding these cards in the store would be tough
0:23 I'm surprised, I wasn't expecting a Pokemon reference Professor.
?
@@toastman3421 Blaine, from Pokemon Red version. He says this before you fight him.
@@mulldrifter6040 ah, I was thinking too literally with your time code and thought you were referring to the rotation thing.
Jus got back into magic on MTGO. Bought this deck for 14 dollars and have been playing all day. It feels like a combo deck tapping and untapping thermo-alchemist. It’s so fun
Who needs hard drugs when there's pauper deck techs
Me
Okay, Prof I get it. Time to make all 20 of commander decks into Pauper decks for playing. You've sold me on the format.
B E aggressive! You didn't strike me as a man that listens to Faith No More Professor!
Cool deck Professor. I've always been a fan of Burn decks in any Format. You and CalebGannon ate the main 2 Pauper based Channels I watch.
Thanks for the sweet video Prof!!! Love Modern Burn, time for some Pauper love!
With Thermo-Alchemist, your Lightning Bolt is 5 damage, not 4. n+1 on first spell per cycle (your turn/opponent's turn). Great video, Prof, as always! Cheers =D
Wwwhhhhhaaaaatttt??
You haven't played pauper yet??
Pffffttt
You know It's fun right?
I know Im not supposed to give my opinion.. but give it a try and then you can tell me if it's good or not.
Still not convinced? Ok, I'll cut you a deal. Here's one of the best decks in the format for 50 bucks. And that's a great price!
Lol don’t forget the “wwwaaaattt”
God damnit Maya!
@@ThatGodamnGoomba fixed lol
You know the bar to entry for new and young players is too high when the CHEAPEST deck in the CHEAPEST format is still going to run you 5 times the cost of a basketball and bus ticket to the courts - I'm so glad that when I was first playing you could still play standard for this price...
That's the "Wizards support" curse. Everyone wanted Wizards to recognize and support the format, and now that they have, the price of entry has gone up thanks to "speculators" and "investors."
This is what mtg finance is all about: ruining mtg
@@benriemersma8137 Pauper becomes supported. Pauper becomes popular. More people, new people who haven't heard of it, want to play pauper. More people are buying cards to play pauper. Demand goes up. "Curse those MTG finance goblins!"
Do you really, REALLY think the finance goons care about a format with dollar cards that have such massive available card pools, huge space investments to store and keep, and have zero reprint protections? It's one thing to blame them for thousand dollar Badlands and the like, but I really don't think pauper is at all on their radar.
@@brokenphantom3g Bitcoin becomes huge. Investment Firms have huge remorse of missing out. Investors useless children taunt them about how they were totally clued in on this crypto meme. These east coast kids claim they know of another alternate currency that regularly sees 200-500% growth. Dad gives them millions of the businesses' bucks for fear of missing out and as a result there are warehouses of pallets of boxes of lightning bolts just rotting. I've seen the boxes. When MTG finance kids make candelabra of tawnos go from 600 to 800 thats not very exciting. Lightning bolt went from 1 cent to 2.50 without pauper being the meme of the week format.
@@benriemersma8137 Lightning bolt is also staple in dozens of decks in literally every eternal format. Everyone who plays red in any of those formats needs four copies, the demand is always there, and yet it's only like two bucks other than foils. If you were going to say something like Manamorphosis or Lotus Petal which have limited print runs and eternal playabilty as some kind of target for a buyout I might say fine, but I flat out don't believe you that someone is sitting on a hundred thousand lightning bolts just waiting for them to, what, appreciate an extra ten cents? I can't believe that most people would be that dumb, or that anyone that dumb would be stubborn enough not to liquidate out when they realized their mistake. Of course, I don't really roll heavy in the MTG finance world so that's just a position of common sense and logic talking; you seem to be in on the deep finance world and really salty that pauper is getting popular support, so what do I know.
Don’t know if it is new/ meant as a one of or already played in another video but man, love the outro !
It maybe a good idea to add a tiny splash of blue to this deck so you can put some card draw in it using curiosity which makes your burn creatures turn into card draw for whenever you cast a non-creature spell becomes a better version of needle drop . Sure adding a few islands to your deck so you can ensure card draw might cost a little bit in terms of the mana economy I think the benefits of having continuous gas to ensure you keep getting fuel to kill 'em all with fire and lightning is far more important.
Searing Blaze has been on of my top 10 favorite cards since i first pulled one all the way back in my first World Wake booster.
I would love to see a deck tech on Blue-White Flicker next! I think that deck is quite interesting. Burn is always a fun one though, great deck tech!
Awesome video Prof. Ive been playing burn in modern and Legacy. Pauper just makes it even better
I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen this video but love pauper and your pauper archive. I try to get my playgroups into it and hope it catches on after this pioneer hype dies down a little.
I have a fun mono red stompy deck. I noticed that lots of +3+3 and double strike cards with upside for 1 mana have been printed at common in magics history. So playing creatures that get pumped from casting instants sorceries (think prowess but some are even better than that)while targeting them with red pump spells. Plus you have access to burn for removal. If anybody is interested in my list let me know
Here it is:
Satyr hoplite x4
Akron crusader x4
Kiln fiend x4
Sanguine mage x4
Assault strobe x4
Brute force x3
Reckless charge x4
Rush of adrenaline x4
Titan strength x4
Lightning bolt x4
Shock x1
I've also played with borrowed hostility in the main board too. Let me know what you guys think as a fun brew that catches players off guard game 1
Forgot mana base is 19 mountains and 1 looming spire but that could be cut down maybe
I keep wanting to like pauper, mainly just to have a janky-cheap format to brew lots of decks. Unfortunately, it's still not necessarily "cheap", although it's still much cheaper than any other mainstream format, even on a bad day. For me, the main problem is the very top most expensive cards that are legal in Pauper and should ideally be used in many places.
Here is a Scryfall link for pauper cards ordered by price, using the cheapest edition: scryfall.com/search?q=format%3Apauper+order%3Ausd&unique=cards&as=grid&order=cmc
Here are the top annoying cards: Oubliette ~$37, Rhystic Study ~$17, Manamorphose ~$14.50, Lotus Petal ~$8.50, Darkness ~$7.50, Thought Vessel $7, etc. I ignored the $78 "Three visits" ignored because of Nature's Lore, and what's the deal with Telekinesis?
The other end is that I think in the history of magic there are a ton of "not quite good enough" but fun jank / bulk rares and uncommon that you can get for pennies that would be great to have a format for.
I am mostly thinking "out loud", but I would love to be able to brew in a way that is always cheap, but also gives me wide access to these uncommons, rares, and maybe sometimes particularly janky mythics. I have a solution I have been chewing on for a while, but it means a bunch of work. Does cheap + janky cards of all rarities sound good to anybody else?
Thanks for this, Prof. I'm going to be using a lot of these cards in a commander deck with Torbran at the helm.
Sooo glad they reprinted Lava Spike. One of my projects calls for very simply worded spells and "Lava Spike deals 3 damage to target player" (original wording) fit the bill, but the $5+ price tag it sported before Ultimate Masters was prohibitive.
(The Arcane subtype is an unnecessary complication for my project's simplistic ideals, but it is at least ignorable.)
Personally, I dropped Lavarunner and have been doing 4x Archer main.
Granted, I haven't played since the Probe ban so I guess I have room to put them back in.
Could we get more Pauper Content again? Please?
Can we peer pressure Gavin into giving us Pauper Challenger Decks?
And sorry for the spam, I just like to push the alogrhythm for pauper
Dimir-no-win-condition-control
Yeah, that sums up the deck
Unironically my favorite deck lol. Taking ten+ turns to win with evincars justice after stabilizing just feels so good.
Love the deck, made second place in today's tournament with it
Ah yes, the 100-card Creatureless Dimir Teachings.
A classic of the Pauper format.
Did the professor just make a Pokémon reference?
Another Oathbreaker tech coming soon professor? I don't even play pauper but find your work on deck techs fascinating so I'll watch nonetheless.
great video prof!
Where are we getting a Fishelbrand video? Caleb Gannon is going full mad scientist and Pauper enthusiasts should check out his Pauper builds including Blue Ponza, Kavu Arcane Storm, Storm with Epicure of Blood, and Fishelbrand, which is Delve Creatures + Draw and Discard Your Whole Deck.
More oath breaker brewing ideas and some strong oath breaker-signature spell loadouts
Never change the intro music dad.
The Prof doesn't want to set the world on fire-
Wait, actually he does, you're heart will be on fire when the world does burn
Am playing Pauper now :) Starting off with a budget dimir Ninjas and Faeries list
I need a Golgari Aristocrats pauper deck tech like this!
it seems unexciting at first but keldon marauder in the sideboard is actually really good, i usually bring them in if i don't have high hopes for the alchemist. though i gotta admit i havn't tried the archer sideboard plan...
I haven't played Pauper in a while. My only creatures in my build are Goblin Fireslinger and Keldon Marauders. One of the owners of my LGS still holds this deck against me.
the real way to play burn is to bring rubbing achohol and a lighter to an FNM and burn the Tefferi deck(s) outside the shop.
5:02 I'm pretty sure it can be the 3'rd land as it itself counts as a mountain and not the 4'th as mentioned by the Prof.
I think it's because it says "other mountains"
@@salsaespacial ahh, yes reading isn't a strong point of mine as it would seem
@@proxidize5738 nah, anybody could have made the same mistake lol
I think mardu scout is worth considering because of the repeatable dash damage
Good to see that Anthony Fantano is included in the mono red burn list.
Skewthony Critano
8:05 "In a world full of durdley ass......trolabes.." xD
THANK YOU PROF! Would you do the same with other colors next time? Please
Can you do an episode discussing about the old decks? Like Necro?
"BE AGGRESSIVE! B-E AGGRESSIVE! B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E!"
- Faith No More -
'Be Aggressive'
Thanks for the vid Prof!
Hey Prof. Can you do a Pauper Jund build?
I built this back when it ran 4 gitaxian probe before the ban. What a $8 burn on my wallet. But now I don't have any dumb blue cards in my deck
i really miss double probe into lavarunner tho ^^
Is it worth it to buy Eldraine planeswalker decks?
I’ve been meaning to try Burn for a while now.
Ive played pauper my pauper goblin/burn deck in non pauper play and done very well. It even beats my buddies Affinity deck in most cases as long as I can control his board the first couple of turns. Im thinking a full burn deck like this may make quick work of opponents even outside of pauper.
Thanks, professor!
i wish there was a prowess card at the common level that can be played in this deck so it can dunk pauper players
Kiln fiend
Austin ch I agree kiln fiend works. But what do you cut for if
You could go Boros and play Seeker of the Way
Zero Effort MTG if I went boros what other white cards would I want because if I'm splashing for only seeker has feel bads
Barry Swigart I agree which is the reason for my statement
This Deck is just screaming my name. Damn shame my LGS doesnt have Pauper events
I really love ypur channel prof!!! I wish i can back to play mtg!!!!
What’s this, a pauper burn deck? Na I’m good I play elves. But I love burn a lot, my first deck was burn.annnnd I’m gonna build this! Thanks Prof!
I play 4 copies of Thunderous Wrath. Using the miracle cost you do 5 damage for one red mana.
I like them in a izzet version, more machine-gun oriented. In that deck, you get access to efficient cantrips such as brainstorm, ponder, or preordain, those cards will set up your wraths.
@@pabloacedologrono5003 I have mono red as well... I might do a deck teck on my own for my channel.
How many times you actually cast them with miracle?
@@zeroeffortmtg3977 As many times as I would top deck any other card of the deck.
I guessed so. Is it a risk worth taking?
This is a video i can get behind!
Prof. Can you do the same Video on modern and legacy just updated to the current metas
College before work :)
Ohh there’s a pauper deck I can get behind!
Awesome video.
Excellent! How about mono blue control as a counter to this deck? 😁
Who else loves burn with the passion of 1000 fiery suns?
Now with added swiftspears
As a long time Burn player, I actually prefer to avoid the Lavarunner: he's not evasive and dies easily. I am thinking to use Gingerbrute from Throne of Eldraine instead, since becomes almost unblockable for 1 and can be sacrificed for food in an emergency. Otherwise, Fanatical Firebrand could be an interesting possibility.
So much for the ‘No Class before 10am’ rule. 😉
I'd love to see your take on pauper tokens decks
Burn is my deck of choice for pauper and I have only one question:
Why do burn players ignore the MIRACULOUS 5 damage for 1 off top deck since its been downgraded to common in masters?
Sure you ll need to play less needle drops in this kind of build but boy does it pay off.
Pauper burn used to play thunderous wrath, but nowadays the deck tries to revolve more around thermo alchemist. The play pattern changed, instrlead of doing as much damage with fewest cards burn now wants to play a lot of spells on the same turn and kill the opp. And thus thunderous wrath became bad.
With that being said there are still builds that run thunderous wrath and cards like keldon marauders that also works.
Test both versions see which one feels better.
I guess i play burn in everything now. I never realized how much was common
Great video but there was a slight error with Molten Rain's cost. At 5:23, $0.16 each x 4 ≠ $1.10 but I know you can count so this is a very mild nitpick :D
this is persona 3 music right? you thought nobody would notice huh?
This deck can be a human tribal deck btw! Although no synergy for it...u can use all humans and boom still burn.
I honestly wish my locals had Pauper.
i mainly play commander but pauper is still the best format
>Are you still not playing pauper?
Not right now professor, but I'm patiently waiting for Daze and Probe unbans, as well as OTHER needed shifts in the metagame
Does playing a foiled out burn deck defeat the purpose of playing pauper?
Awesome. Can break out my Premium Deck Series Fire & Lightning and tweak it for pauper blasts.
Could u please do a pauper zombies deck that would be cool to see thanks if you end up doing it
Yo professor think you could do a vid with your evil counter part. I love those vids
holy shit a babycakes reference!
