Erinis Street Urchin - Competitive Pauper EDH Deck Tech
Very well done video. The audio was a touch low to listen too hands free. Fine with earplugs. Many thanks
I recently built a pauper Heiko yamazaki, the general deck. Where I built it around lots of etb artifacts, artifacts that can Sac themselves and that I can bring back and so on, I've got universal solvent and goblin firebomb in there and I cam consistently bring them back to destroy any permanent over and over. I was able to beat my friends new eldrazi precon with it in a 2 out of 3 normal commander format
Have you ever seen a Temur Savertooth deck show up? I’d like to find out if anyone has found success with it since I feel like I just cooked super hard despite it literally just being a bunch of etb land search etb +1 counters etb token gen a few other useful etbs like removal, and a few big high cost payoff cards for late game once I’ve spammed out like 30 lands, like, if I don’t get hit by a counterspell I can haze frog the whole table every turn
For the sticker sheet deck, what other 5 sheets do you use to fill out the 10 sheets to randomly select from? Did the rules change since this video was uploaded and when this was uploaded, only 5 sheets were needed in the sticker deck?
Love your channel! Thanks for the deck techs:')
Love your content!<3
Please cover some PDC 1v1 content <3
Love your content, love pauper, please make more<3
So I've never before seen a sacrifice ability be able to be double dipped as a cost of a card. It's one or the other. Dargo requires a sacrifice, Lotus requires a sacrifice. Dargo doesn't say for each card sacrificed this turn he costs less. You have to specifically select the card to sacrifice as a cost. Sacrifice happens immediately and is faster than instant speed ie you can not respond to a sacrifice... so not sure how this first interaction in the video is supposed to work already. Unless I'm playing with old rules.
Dargo does infact say he costs less for artifacts and creatures sacrificed previously to casting him.
@chelgoth ok I'm tracking now got it 👍 ty
Awesome video!

I made a dimir voltron deck. It hits hard and fast
Hey what decks do you play with ? Also what are your thoughts on gutter snipe ?
I played Third Path Iconoclast in this tournament, but I like mixing it up a lot. I've played Gretchen, Malcolm/Kediss, Satyr Enchanter, Lorehold Apprentice, and others in events previously. The format is so wide open to brewing that I love finding new decks all the time. A friend of mine has a Guttersnipe deck in paper, and it can really stack up the damage! I don't see it much as the commander in cPDH, but it shows up a lot as another pinger in spells-matters decks. I've seen people run it with Dragon's Approaches, too, for a huge amount of burn each turn.
Great vid. I mostly play casual but interested in how the competitive scene developes
That Raff deck seems really interesting. I myself have a Raff deck for normal commander which I find to be a ton of fun. I'm not surprised that it did so well in cpdh.
Another banger video!
This is amazing
Like cpdh isnt everyone cup of tea, these deck seems perfect to pull in completely new players!
It is going to be a spicy next couple months after MH3! Super excited to see how it shakes things up! Always a pleasure to experience your uploads, keep it up boss!
Look, Ma! I made it!
I was the Abdel / Red player in this open! One thing that doesn't get shown as clearly here is the controlling power of the deck while it's digging for its combo pieces. Street Urchin presents a board lock to a lot of combo decks, which makes this really a win-last style of Abdel. Unfortunately, the 90 minute round timer forces the Abdel / Red player to make more aggressive plays in search of a combo win within time, whereas outside of tournament play the deck has more freedom to play it slow and control the board. The quote I think best encapsulates the deck is "A deck that makes draw go scary." Obviously, the deck folds to pressure from the stack, and it sometimes struggles in the early game finding the necessary mana and cantrip rocks. But it applies really solid anti-combo pressure late game, which is why I've fallen in love with the deck.
Thanks so much for your comment, and for your insight into the deck! I definitely could have spent a little more time talking about Street Urchin (my favorite background) and how it keeps the board under control by providing constant pressure to everyone's combo-piece creatures. It's a key part of the deck for sure, and I appreciate you bringing it up. I'm excited to see how the deck develops going forward, especially with MH3 coming so soon!
Excellent content from an excellent creator :) Thank you for what you do, and how do it Ank!
Thank you so much!
woah i have a tournament soon, i was about to play a ravenous squirrel but now im tempted for one of these..
Really glad you made this analysis, I was looking forward to your video as soon as I saw Hollow Marauder as one of the commanders
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, Hollow Marauder is a deck I've tinkered with a little bit as well, so I was excited to see the deck make its tournament debut here.
Thank you for the breakdown, as always. Those were some pretty spicy lists! If I could wish for one thing, it would be chapters, tho. Not major, but a nice bit of extra convenience. Cheers!
Chapters are a great idea -- I'll get them figured out going forward. Thanks for watching!
Always a good day when Ank uploads
I would love to build a azorious control deck with Jem lightfoote
This was a great video! Love the depth on each category. I didn't like how a third of the video was talking about two sticker cards. Too much time talking about two cards I think most people won't run.
Thanks for the feedback! When I made the video, no one was running sticker in cPDH at all, so I felt I needed to justify their inclusion a bit more in the video. But I appreciate the comment!
Do you think REB and Pyroblast should be auto-included in any competitive list with red? It seems to me they should, so many strong lists from tournaments seem to have blue generals, blue blink spells or Freed from the Real in some form, not to mention all the blue counters to protect those spells. Would you consider running cards like Ardent Elementalist and Revolutionist if you were playing Rakdos or Naya (no blue) to recur these blasts? Like you said, meaningful stack interaction outside of blue is hard to find, and as narrow as the red blasts are I feel they MIGHT warrant it. Or am I placing to much value on them? Genuinely curious and value your opinion, also I appreciate this might be more of a metagame call.
I generally include the Blasts when I'm building competitive red-based decks without blue in them, and especially if I have ways to cash them in for extra cards in pods where they do nothing -- things like Demand Answers or Thrill of Possibility are really helpful here. I don't know that I'd go as far as running Ardent Elementalist effects just for recurring the Blasts, but I've run Elementalist in my spell-heavy Boros Lorehold Apprentice deck and been pretty happy with it. The Blasts are obviously narrow -- only hitting blue spells/permanents -- but blue is a large chunk of the competitive meta, and the Blasts are the most efficient at what they do, so it's a trade-off that I think favors running at least one Blast, and maybe both depending on the decks you expect/whether or not you can get value from casting spells in your deck (lots of pinger creatures, for instance, makes their stock go up as well). Thanks for the comment!
@@ankylosaurmtg Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your insight and your content.
Any deck lists for these or links to see the deck lists?
I loved this video!! Would love to have more of these 🙏🏼
I’m stunned that this event popped in my hometown and I missed it
There will definitely be more Riches to Rags Pauper EDH events in the Philadelphia area! I believe there tend to be 2-3 of them a year. Not sure when the next one will be, but keep your eyes peeled!
Hey! Love your videos! In my pod there is too many lifegain there is any card UB or BR that can help me against this?
Thanks so much! There unfortunately isn't anything like Skullcrack or Sulfuric Vortex in the format to shut off lifegain altogether. The two best plans I can think of to circumvent people gaining life are either to go infinite with a combo of some kind, or get them with commander damage. But if you let me know what sorts of decks you're playing, I might be able to come up with other solutions, too!
@@ankylosaurmtg youtube keeps deleting my comment ;/
@@ankylosaurmtg hey thanks for the response!! I play manly this UB Baleful Strix deck: archidekt /decks/6027003/ub_commander In my pod we like grinder games so we dont allow infinite combos and my commander is hard to go in for damage What I did was to put some lifegain myself, if you cant beat em join em xd PS: The deck is with 99 cards because im already testing the leaked mh3 scurrilous sentry

"You can go on a real crime spree here" I do not comprehend, whatever firebrand archer does, it is not a "crime", nor does any card showcased contain the "spree" mechanic
El final de Valiant Hearts.
Great video! I started building my deck before watching, and I was sucked into Enchantment creatures as cantrips. What do you think of the following: Bearer of Memory, Eiganjo Exemplar, Fang of Shigeki, Glory Bearers, Golden-Tail Disciple, Greater Tanuki, Harvestguard Alseids (some fun shenanigans with this one), Hopeful Eidolon, Humbler of Mortals, Jukai Preserver, Leafcrown Dryad, Lucent Liminid, Nyxborn Courser, Oakheart Dryads, Observant Alseid, Spirited Companion (lol 2 cards) ... anyhoo sorry for the card name spam, just wondering your thoughts :)
I had a number of those creatures in my earlier iterations of the deck -- Fang of Shigeki, Hopeful Eidolon, Spirited Companion, etc. -- but eventually wound up trimming back on them in favor of spells to either protect the commander, or removal like Last Breath or Master's Rebuke to make sure I could take out something like a turn-2 Malcolm or an untapper out of Gretchen. I tuned the list to deal with the most popular competitive Pauper EDH commanders as best I could, but if your playgroup isn't as focused on tournament-level PDH, tacking "draw a card" onto your creatures is great! And you can definitely cut some of the spike-ier cards for a more robust creature-base in that case. Thanks for the comment!
@@ankylosaurmtg Gotcha - I've yet to build my own Commander deck, was just using Moxfield and found some pretty cool interactions. I may build the deck with 110 card options and just iterate as you obviously have done, based on the play group/opponents.
Great idea! Yeah, Satyr Enchanter feels like it has a wide range of deck building options available to it, depending on how casual/competitive you want to make it. It's just an all-around solid value engine in the command zone.
@@ankylosaurmtg Would you consider Shelter over Stave Off?
I love cascading into Rush of Knowledge with my Imoti PDH deck.
Yeah, Imoti is a great deck for that card! Just a free draw 7+ so much of the time.
Old man like you? We were the adults playing in the 90's...
Alright I need to know. Why fleshformer for the 5c deck as commander. Aren’t other creatures like the 5c artifact creatures more efficient and more castable? Maybe I’m missing something obvious…. Help me out. Great breakdown video.
My understanding is, the deck needs a 5-color commander primarily for the color identity, and often won't bother casting the commander at all during the course of a game. But there are certain lines (for instance, making infinite mana with Ilysian Caryatid and Freed from the Real) where you can activate Fleshformer enough times to kill every creature your opponents control, and then take out one player with commander damage now that your Fleshformer is enormous. Plus if you have WUBRG lying around, you can always activate to shoot down a Malcolm or something, which isn't nothing.
@@ankylosaurmtg just realized the deck also plays path of ancestry so being a human probably also has minor upside…?
@@maarten0104 I think the deck would probably play Path of Ancestry just as a 5-color land, but yes, the minor upside is relevant for sure!
Hey I'm the DRC pilot! You're right in thinking the deck cant go infinite but the storm spells can get very out of hand very quickly when everything in the deck cost around 2. During the even i was able to empty the warrens to make 20 11s and in a different game grapeshot for 11 all pointing at my opponents face killing him and clearing the board at the same time. She played like a very Jack of all trades master of none commander.
Awesome! Yeah, your curve is so low, the storm cards seem like a really good fit for a big, game-changing turn. Thanks for your comment!
Promo'SM 🙈
Your channel is a treasure trove as someone getting into the format now (been theory crafting for a minute but revently decided to actually make my decks in paper)
I'm glad you've found them useful! Thanks so much for watching
Damn cant believe i missed this event as a Philly local. Absolutely blown away by that Fleshformer deck, also intrigued that colorless decks are being innovated on
all the lists are so coooool. awesome breakdown. i need more these videos are addicting🔥🔥
I'm totally not into pedh, but i'm a long time commander player and the deck tech and the optimized approach with "budget" cards is really cool here. This decks shows one thing really well, if you bring this - a well built, synergistic budget deck - to a normal edh table, people will fear you and this because interaction is just a key point in edh. Most decks just play fancy big cards and noninteraction or low synergy - they all end up playing out the same with no real flavour.
Thank you! I built a version of Erinis/Street Urchin a couple years ago that included rares and was intended to be played in normal EDH pods, but it was perhaps a little too oppressive for the tables I usually played at. I may do a video on that list at some point, though -- if you don't mind potentially becoming archenemy, it's a strong deck that does a good job of controlling the table.
@@ankylosaurmtg I totally agree on the opressiveness of the deck, but if you bring this "budget" deck at a high power table (not cedh) you can prabably be really relevant even on a budget build. As you said, i would avoid playing this pair at a random power table.
I'm sure you're right. I did play a (much less refined) version of this deck at a regular EDH table once, and while I died to a Kaldra Compleat (indestructible too strong!), the deck did hold its own and even take out the other two players in the pod.
This is awesome ur the pauper master!
I wish that only legendary creatures were legal comlmanders
Why?
Personally, I really enjoy having non-legendary commanders in the command zone. When your whole deck is commons, an uncommon creature feels like it has almost legendary status to me (flavor-wise, I mean). It also opens up a ton of options for gameplay that I love!
I feel the opposite, actually its what drew me to the format.
Love the break downs! It was a really fun event.
Thanks for watching! One of these days I'll make it out to Philly for a Riches to Rags, they always look like a blast.
Ive been working on and indulging patrician deck for a bit now. super cool to see it show up on here. very strong commander. also synergizes well with food tokens.
It's a cool deck for sure!
Thank you for the awesome breakdown!
Of course! Thanks for watching!
