Top Pauper Commanders of 2024
Просмотров 142Месяц назад
As the year comes to a close, I thought it might be nice to revisit the top 10 Pauper Commanders from the entire year. There are so many cool pauper commanders from this year, so narrowing it down to just 10 was so hard. #mtg #magicthegathering #cardgame
Losing my Mind Designing as Many Magic Cards as Possible in One Hour! - Custom MTG Challenge
Просмотров 25Месяц назад
This was exhausting. The wording may be wrong, and the numbers might need to be tweaked, but I'm really happy with how this went, especially considering I usually spend an entire video on one card, but for this, I spent an average of only 3 minutes, each. Let me know in the comments if you want to see more like this, because it was so much work I probably won't without a little prompting.

With the sets fully revealed, here are my top picks for new Commanders for Pauper Commander (pedh/pdh) from Foundations and Foundations Jumpstart. There are way more really cool and interesting cards from the sets, that just didn't make the list. Generally, while interesting, they just weren't stronger than our existing options.

So how do I build a deck? What website are you using, can i use Topdecked?
Really well done video. Thanks! I didn't even know about Tabletop Sim, but then I heard it could do this and I had to find someone to explain it. Can't wait to try it
I'm so glad this was helpful to someone! Thanks for saying so.
I stumbled across this video looking for how others have built her. I went for the “sac-return” theme mixed with a bit of Necro energy from the war hammer set, I focused pretty strong on the artifact side already so necrons just fit
How easy is it to get a game for Magic the Gathering on Tabletop Simulator? I play mostly pauper.
If you mean finding other players looking for games, I'm really not sure. This was meant as a guide for setting up a game for you and your friends. That being said, I know there are plenty of discord communities for arranging games. I just don't know them myself so I can't recommend any specific server.
@@DarcyBits Yeah that's what I meant. Can I match with random players or only friends?
@@lohroc2-gb2cr There are public lobbies, but there isn't in-built match-making for drop-in games. You'd need to find games separately and arrange to play through discord, or some other site.
I think it was more likely that the aether dudes got the simic pair, as they seem more calm and chill, and that the shark pirates got the izzet, as i think we've seen more izzet pirates than dimir. Great video though
@@laugepoulsen8647 thanks so much. As I was editing this I was screaming at myself that the aether rangers look so incredibly simic. Still not really sure because of Pia, but maybe I’m putting too much weight on that. Then again, the promo art we got might just be a mono blue card, so no red showed through.
@@DarcyBits Yeah I forgot about Pia, but still. She might be obscure enough, as to her not being asociated with red this expansion, might be okay.
What about Reach? It’s one of the best features.
Whats the mod called?
It’s simply called, MTG Deluxe Table (Scripted) by Mallix
Very nice video
Having faced Alexios as a pauper deck, can confirm: eek. 😨 Crazy good card.
I have a deck with Zyym, Mesmeric Lord as the commander & the deck tries to create situations in the game between players that mimic the George Orwell novel 1984. I use a bunch of odd enchantments that cause players to reveal their hands & the tops of their library, I play cards that can cause two players to start a feud like "Ice Cave" which says "whenever a player casts a spell, any player may pay X generic mana where X is that spells mana cost, if you do, counter that spell." & my favorite card in the deck is Zur's Weirding which is a 4 drop blue enchantment which is truly broken in my personal opinion... It says "If a player would draw a card, they instead reveal it, then any other player may pay 2 life. If any player does pay 2 life, you put that card into their owner's graveyard. Otherwise, that player draws that card." So with 40 life... you can see that not a lot of cards go into their hands. I, however have cards that can get around Zur's Weirding, such as Taigam, Sidisi's Hand... this card makes me skip my draw step & then look at the top three cards of my deck. I then can put a card into my hand & the other two into the graveyard. So while my opponents keep paying life to deny each other card draw, I am slowly building up enough resources to win the game.
That sounds like a wild deck. I've been considering building a deck with Zur's Weirding for a while.
It's a nice list, but I feel that Jumpstart should have just been it's own list at this point. I'd love to know what you thought of more of the critters in the base set too. Also the Pheres Band centaur is NUTS, even outside of pauper. Seen him in action once, and he goes hard.
Thanks for the kind words. I honestly agree. I didn't expect it when I started working on the video, but by then I felt like I had to commit to a single video.
@DarcyBits I'm working on a pauper list from Foundations. Did you see Cliquant Skymage? I know it's kinda vanilla but it seemed a super simple build around.
@NoctisVigil I was really excited when I first saw the Skymage, because I have a bird deck in Commander, but as a Pauper Commander, it's strictly worse than Oneirophage, unless you can get value out of its types. Not dramatically worse or anything. I think I discussed it in my original recording, but cut it for time.
I actually made pauper deck with Seedglaive before watching this video and it is a house!
Loved this! I would have kept Saline Conversion as it was (the do not untap thing) because I see it as a creature becoming salt so, if it moves, its legs may crumble I don't know 😅
Thank you so much. I totally should have just left it as it was, I just got really hung up on it being a "functional reprint" with nothing making it distinct. But its an effect we see in almost every set, so it would have been entirely reasonable.
The "Magic: the Gathering Roborosewater Cube (scripted)" mod has a pretty nifty feature where you can make booster packs out of custom cards (with rarity mattering and all)
That sounds amazing actually. I'll have to check it out. Thank you for the suggestion!
Can you suggest some must Play cards ? Cause i really Like lobelia but i cant Imagine how this Deck actually Works...
Oh Wow, I can't believe you found this video! My list is unfortunately not the most refined, but must haves are fuel for her activated ability, that is cheap artifacts that have an effect when they get destroyed. A lot of cards like this can sacrifice themselves for an effect, but we need ones that don't care how they're destroyed so that we can trigger them with Lobelia instead. Notable examples are Ichor Wellspring, Mephitic Draught, and Mycosynth Wellspring for card advantage, and Nimblewright Schematic, Servo Schematic, and Prized Statue for additional artifacts to do it again. Since you're not actually going to need to activate Lobelia too many times in a single game, but you still want a high density of artifacts to ensure that you don't draw none, I like running other cards that can sacrifice artifacts to take advantage of any excess artifacts you accrue throughout the game. I also really like Crashing Drawbridge as both an artifact and a way of giving lobelia haste, if you need to play and activate her in the same turn. Have fun, and thanks for asking!
@DarcyBits nice, thanks for the Tipps. I think i actually might build her. I love Mono black but have 3 Decks that sacrifice creatures already so IT might BE sweet to have a bit different Mono black list :)
One upside of the legendary pauper commanders is that you can play them at mixed tables - helps if, like me, you play somewhere with very few pauper players or you want to show people that it’s not necessarily going to be a dull, grindy format. That said, it is an uphill battle going up against most regular decks.
@@curiousjapan Very much agreed. I love the idea of it, but it is sometimes hard to justify when the option to “upgrade” exists. My main deck was originally a Pauper Commander list, but I ended to bringing it to more Commander tables and eventually gave it other tools to keep up. :/
Goats are cool. Based on the title I was thinking red mountainwalkers, so it's funny to me that you didn't even mention that color.
@@schw4rztee502 Thanks for commenting! That makes a lot of sense, and it didn’t occur to me at all. Mountain-walking goats definitely exist in magic, but I always think of the white tokens first. I’ve really never been a fan of the landwalk mechanic, so it didn’t even cross my mind, despite how perfectly it fits them.
I play cactusfolk and its super fun :D
Thank you so much for the comments, It’s great seeing your experiences across them.
One friend of mine plays Patched Plaything and its f*** scaring
Hearthfire Hero looks unbeatable...
I mean... It's being played even in some Pioneer lists, the little guy is STRONG xD
Great video my man, ive subbed. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much! RUclips has been burying this video so it’s really nice to hear real people are seeing it.
@DarcyBits Yeah lol I see that, just came across the video from searching about Death Race myself
Ill bet $20 that kaladesh is gonna be presented in the deaty race 👀
It's a popular opinion. I'm not convinced that it fits the criteria, but it probably counts.
Cool video and fun ideas, keep it up brother
Thanks so much! I have grown very attached to Sprig, and it's nice to hear that other people have gotten to see him.
I was beginning to have doubts of it's existence. Thank you DX
these are still better than basic lands. something that's only a downside _if you use the upside_ isn't actually a downside, it just means the upside isn't as good the actual problem with these is that they're enchantment lands, which means they trigger eerie and get you a load of value for free, but also die to disenchants, making them obnoxiously swingy
Land-Room sounds awesome!
The reminder text saying "you'll need to find another way in" is so cool. It's super flavourful while also making the intent behind the design clear. I'm reminded of how Obsidian Fireheart says that a land with a blaze counter on it "continues to burn" even if there isn't an Obsidian Fireheart on the battlefield.
I'm so glad you caught that! I was really happy with how it turned out.
I thought this was gonna be a new type of dual-land that starts with a choice between two colors/basic types, then you can unlock the second half to make it dual-type. Sort of like the Pathway lands, where you can choose which color you play it as, but with the upside that you can eventually unlock the second color
I really wanted to do something like this. As its own design, I think that would be great. But I don't think it could work within the mechanics of rooms, unfortunately.
thinking about this, I'd prefer the lands had a sacrifice unless you pay this additional cost on enters, and both having sides having an activated ability to fully unlock the room so maybe a land makes you pay 2 generic mana as it enters, or simply enters tapped unless unlocked, and the other side having pay 3 generic and discard a card when enters. but has a passive of adding an additional mana when the other room taps for mana, and an activated ability
There’s certainly a lot of different ways you could manage a land-room, this video was more about figure out how the mechanics work. I think you could use some lines of text that kick when being played, before the doors are considered locked. But you couldn’t have, like, an enters effect, because the door would be locked by the time it tries to trigger.
@@DarcyBits You could probably squeeze a space in for a Land ETB text, probably where the Room reminder text goes on a normal Room Enchant, where its like "If you play this as a land, dadadadah"
I absolutely love this concept, and wish we could have seen it now instead of in like, 10 years when we get return to duskmourn
my concern is that rooms come into play already "tapped" XD
lol. I originally went on a tangent specifically addressing how tapping a room-land would work. I figured it wasn’t interesting enough to include, but as far as I can tell it should work. What’s consider3d “upright” is just different for a room.
@@DarcyBits Same as tapping a Battle, which is almost always utterly nonproductive, but can happen sometimes
Oh come on, surely Stronghold Zeppelin deserves the title of balloon ship. It's way better than the current errata of Human which makes no sense at all.
This video has peaked with this comment.
Nice! I'll try to build a Cynical Loner for sure, I thought try Arabella too even if it looks very straightforward and maybe a bit boring.
Really great video!
I really hope Stuffy Doll gets updated, I always found it weird that it's just a construct
Yes, Child is not a real creature type in the sense that it is printed on only card that is only legal in commander. Yet every time I see changelings, I will add "child soldier" to the list of funny ways to refence them, like the clowns they are
The thing is that it is still technically a real type. Wee Champion is recognized as legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper. The prior bannings only applied to cards that add stickers to the game, not just refer to them.
@@DarcyBits Really, cards that refence stickers are fine? Didn't know that, thanks for correcting me.
weird that a warrior becamed a coward
4 of those already existed
Honestly I quite like when they play fast and loose with subtypes. There should be some standardization to enable type synergies, but I think its totally fine for some subtypes to only have a few members.
Definitely. Type-lines originally were really just another form of flavour text. Something I failed to mention is that what a type means isn't always obvious, like how Ally is a type. Not every creature that's an ally of something should get this type. Instead it's to denote creatures of a specific faction. I think Survivor is going to be treated this way, where Duskmourn characters are Survivors to denote it as a faction, not a description.
Technically the non-acorn cards from Unfinity are technically their own weird non-Un thing- Though types being reused in two black bordered sets does kind of mean it might become a prevalent type. Now if we finally got Chickenfolk-
Technically doctors DO have a mechanical impact - in the form of a wincon no less - with Gallifrey Stands
based pfp
This, they also have a tutor/turns spell, a land that makes colored mana for them and probably some other stuff, in addition, if any of them are time lord doctors (and nothing else) ): you can have a docters companion as an extra card in the command zone.
from what I'm seeing searching on scryfall glimmer is an enchantment type not a creature type, similar to how the neon dynasty shrine creatures have shrine as an enchantment type but not a creature type
OKAY but... they are way to many TYPES NOW...
I don't understand wizards "We have too many types, let cut some types and merge them together" also wizards "let's add Tyrannid, Doctor, Clown, Robot, Alien, Mutant, Astartes as unique types instead of finding a type that exists to them"
Oh, I didn't think about Varchild stopping Duskmourn cards from blocking or attacking me. And if Varchild dies I can steal my opponents "Cheat things into play" dog! :D
Should sacrifice a forest instead of 2 lands for flavor optimisation
Oh I can't believe I didn't think of this! That's so much better!
Hey, really solid video! I'd love to see a Yoshimaru card like this. Seems a bit stacked for a single white pip, but the best boy deserves a solid reprint in the first place.
Thank you so much! I definitely wondered if it's too strong, but I agree, they deserve it!
The wombat's true competition is Corpsejack Menace. I haven't found a Golgari +1/+1 counters commander that slaps as hard.
That card is truly absurd. A true menace.
Love this! I'm a big fan of cycles and these Duos in particular have caught my attention in particular in how cleanly they tie two archetypes together while being just commons! Thanks for expanding on it
Aw thanks so much! This was a video idea I was really excited about, so its great to hear it's appreciated.
poisonous and toxic are both keywords, the first from future sight and the second for all will be one. poisonous applies poison counters as a trigger, while toxic does them as part of the damage. i assume they chose the older more wordy one as a joke
@@Yakmage oh of course! I remember people discussing this when toxic was first introduced now that you mention it. Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! You’re great
