    Thank you for being such a pauper advocate. I've been waiting years for it to catch on in the paper world. Now I can finally brush the dust off my Affinity and Mono Black decks and play them in real life since pauper events are regularly firing at my LGS down here in Fresno CA. You have a large amount of my gratitude for this, prof! Let's all work to keep up the momentum and get an official non-MTGO paper ban-list and regs so that it can be even more accessible to aspiring budget players!

    Great that Pauper is finally getting paper support.Pauper, love it. Drifted to Pauper around Khans block after 4yrs of playing modern and deciding it was just to expensive to keep 4 modern decks up and running

  • @aubreywhite3190
    @aubreywhite3190 6 років тому +5

    This looks pretty close to my UB Delver list in Pauper, but I really like the choices you made in Compulsive Research and Forbidden Alchemy. I'm going to have to try those out!

  • @The_Smartest_Witch
    @The_Smartest_Witch 6 років тому +8

    I have to admit prof: you sold me on pauper, and many people at my locals as well. We've got a small league going, and its been great.

    @codyweaver7546 6 років тому +4

    UG Tempo. Delver+Nimble Mongoose+Werebear. You run bounce cards and control spells. The goal is to drop early threats and then pop! Threats off the board and get in.

    • @Sheriff_K
      @Sheriff_K 6 років тому

      I wish Bounding Krasis had been printed at Common, then maybe such a deck could be a thing.. It's my dream to be able to play UG Tempo in Pauper, but alas.. Closest we have is Madness, and that's not exactly T1. :/

  • @TehSeksyManz
    @TehSeksyManz 6 років тому +4

    Angler is just an awesome card. The art and mechanical are fantastic. Cool common.

  • @2MeatyOwlLegs
    @2MeatyOwlLegs 6 років тому +87

    just a minor hint Prof: maybe you should show the common prints of the cards in this deck, so new viewers aren't confused if the card is actually playable

    • @ArmadilloAl
      @ArmadilloAl 6 років тому +6

      Better yet, don't show the online-only versions of cards with price tags in dollars instead of tickets.
      (He can't do both at the same time, though, because Chainer's Edict.)

    • @thoraxepi
      @thoraxepi 6 років тому +4

      Seconded. I was confused at the inclusion of uncommons.

    • @devunit2369
      @devunit2369 6 років тому

      ArmadilloAl It Kind of makes sense, considering how the legality list goes off of MTGO legality.

    • @druidobianco9734
      @druidobianco9734 6 років тому +1

      Some cards were never printed in common exept online, so for cards like chainer’s edict he has to show or the online only version with the common simbol, or the printed real card but with the uncommon symbol

    He finally made a video of the pauper deck I play. It was bound to happen I guess. This a great control deck. Usually only lose with bad draws or getting overrun by slivers or elves if you don't have enough early answers.

  • @447xpro
    @447xpro 6 років тому +6

    Dear Professor,
    Could we see a Pauper ‘Glyphs’ tech? It’s a really cool deck which tries to reverse engineer the current aggro meta by playing walls and then flinging them at your opponent for the win.

    • @ArmadilloAl
      @ArmadilloAl 6 років тому

      Given that none of the Glyphs are Pauper-legal (at least as long as it's trying to be a paper format with online deck construction rules), this seems unlikely.

  • @carlbutcher2268
    @carlbutcher2268 6 років тому

    Building this on MTGO at the moment, just want to offer a little ultra-budget tip: Vodalian Zombie can be substituted for Zombie Outlander, the former costs over a ticket while the latter is less than a tenth of one. The only functional difference is that Prof is running a Merfolk Zombie in an old frame, which is slightly cooler than a Zombie Scout from Conflux. They're both 2/2s with pro-green that cost UB.

    • @prplprince8730
      @prplprince8730 6 років тому

      Its a UW deck with a splash of G. The core of the deck is Evoke creatures with angelic renewal which will get me 2 triggers or in my late game finisher a Walker of the Grove plus a token. I also have a few blink effects for added value with spellstutter sprites to go with the blinks. Wretched Gryffs are in the deck to proc angelic renewal and value off of the ETB triggers. Deck is fun and people don't expect to play against it which is always a bonus!

    So, a question for everyone out there who are experienced in pauper: Why run Prohibit over Mana Leak? Prohibit seems more limiting in my eyes. That said, Ive never played Pauper so I'm not experienced.

    • @Tada123123
      @Tada123123 6 років тому +1

      Ryanosaurus Wrecks pauper is a much slower format that modern. It's the only format where I've seen a 14 card stack.
      Prohibit is always a hard counter for opponents spells when fighting in counterwars where mana leak often would be dead.
      There are a couple match ups where it could be okay but often those match ups are where counters are too slow.

    I'd like to see a video where you could talk about pauper stables. I'm super interested in the format, but I'm afraid it might go up in prize in the not so far future.

    • @lazarus8472
      @lazarus8472 6 років тому

      the thing about the format is that it's designed to stay cheap. The entire format is commons and that means if WOTC decides to take the format seriously (and if they're talking about it at a GP, it's now serious) that means it gives WOTC the ability to reprint all kinds of common slots in any sets they want to support the format.
      The cards literally cannot go over a few dollars tops as justifying commons at an insane price would have a massive outcry.
      I don't play pauper but have been seriously considering it since there's a league at my local LGSes that are getting a lot of attention.

    • @FIFFTW
      @FIFFTW 6 років тому

      James Joseph that makes sense! You should check out that league! I have a buddy that I play a bit of pauper with (he has a lot of pauper decks) and besides cube and commander I think it’s my favorite way to play.

    3x fiery temper
    2x font of ire
    3x insolent neonate
    2x alchemists greeting
    3x fanatical firebrand
    2x vessel of volatility
    4x bloodbriar
    2x hooting mandrils
    2x vessel of nascency
    2x grapple with the past
    3x costly plunder
    2x terrarion
    2x explosive apparatus
    4x bloodfell caves
    2x unknown shores
    4x rugged highlands
    4x evolving wilds
    5x mountain
    4x forest
    Any feedback from you or anyone would be appreciated. I feel like this deck could use some tuning. Thank you all.

    @Kivuhl 6 років тому +1

    I can't agree with some of things that you said in this vid Professor (more than I mentioned). Clear draw-go teachings have 3 good ways to win game (EJ, CotBT or/and sprout swarm), and they are not that "poor", but for some weird reason, normal 60card teachings doesn't work so well.
    About mulldrifter... strongly disagree. This crit is almost always good to play if you are running creatures and blue cards (2 or even just 1 copy). It's just 1 for 3.
    Could you explain why less than 4x alchemy, edict's and think twice?

      Brian Olson i know mill is not as strong due to speed compared to other popular pauper decks but I'm hoping to catch people off guard. Plus I'm usually a fan of unconventional non meta decks. Most decks are made to beat meta so having something different seems like it could be beneficial
