@@SnapBolt I saw! I first clicked the most recent video, then the video before it, and then I realized I should just check out your channel page for the first one LOL
Absolutely, I'd always prefer longer videos over short ones like the brew session. But if the brew session is an additional video and not replacing a league video BRING THEM ON
Faithless is good at discarding prismatic strands so you can tap out for initiative and monarch creatures and have strands up. Might be unnecessary but it also helps smooth out draws where you otherwise might not function
Have you tried jolted awake? It can be used as a ramp spell when discarding bridges from faithless looting. Also would suggest maybe terminates instead of cast down to have answers against a guardian
nice league. not sure how your setup is but occasionally you unconsciously knock on the desk and the mic picks it up really well, 1 time I thought someone was at the door, and dog freaked out like 4 times throughout the video :) not a big deal but for those with dogs it can be a little stressful.
@@SnapBolt nah, not worth all that. i thought it might be able to move the mic away from that side of the desk or something. there also might be software that can filter it out, i am not an expert on those, but i know that you can do a lot with noise gates these days.
Thank you for the content! Btw- using the same card art for the both the tech and league thumbnails made me think this was the tech. It may just be me, but maybe use a separate art for the league in future related videos? I could also see that being misleading bc people may expect the same art for the same deck... I guess it isn't a huge deal either way, just a thought. Thanks again!
@@SnapBolt Just got to the end of the video! I'd like to see nire brew videos, honestly. There have been a lot of new cards for a fairly forgotten archetype, Tortured Existence, if that is a strategy that may interest you; I know I'd love to see it covered in the current meta.
Good question. It can be an advantage to put prismatic strands in the graveyard. Then you can cast your monarch or initiative creature and have flashback strands up. That being said, looting has been performing pretty mid
@@SnapBoltme too dude. Meeeeee too. Thankfully it is mostly in my beard which also has some red, brown and pretty freaking dark bits. Someone once told me red breads age into the whitest of white. I will try to comment on every video until you hit a big subscriber count. Thanks for coming back. You and Calleb, what was his last name, Gannon maybe (he also made a new card game that looked tight), are the best pauper folk. That is not to minimize the work of the other pauper video makers. Enough rambling. Pauper for life
If you’re just here for the highlights check out 2:16:20
And if you just hate affinity check out 55:22 😂
You're doing the lord's work when you dunk on affinity
@@mayonaise000 preach
Gonna spend the next several days watching your Mardu Initiative videos haha let’s goooo
Lets GOOOOO. Lotta content out on it

Really happy you're back on the pauper streets and playing. really enjoy your content.
Really glad to hear it!
Thraben Charm might be good for removal and graveyard.
Agreed, after a comment from the deck tech, I added 1 main 1 sideboard for the next league
Absolutely, I'd always prefer longer videos over short ones like the brew session. But if the brew session is an additional video and not replacing a league video BRING THEM ON
Sounds good. I see these being sprinkled in here and there potentially
And this was a very fast build. Usually takes a lot longer
Thank you for all of the great pauper videos! I'm new to the format and I've enjoyed watching your breakdown and games. Keep em coming!
Thanks for watching - glad you are enjoying the videos 😎
Enjoyed seeing the brewing process and seeing the deck in action! It might be cool to try doing future brewing sessions live.
Yeah, I agree. That way people can throw out crazy suggestions and I can shut them down 😂
R5G1 was HOT. I wrote that game off and fast-forwarded. Bravo!
Yeah, strands is pretty insane
Deck looks dope. Excited to see the update with Thraben Charm.
Yeah, both leagues are really good ones
That game 1 against UR control was insane
Just finished the vid. Entire match was insane
That was an crazy insane match
All right friend, I was eagerly waiting for a Mardu deck to come out again, but I don't have the Prismatic, I'm using Stonehorn instead of Monarch
However, I don't see the point in using faithless looting, something you suggested? A hug man, all the best, I watch all your videos congratulations
Faithless is good at discarding prismatic strands so you can tap out for initiative and monarch creatures and have strands up.
Might be unnecessary but it also helps smooth out draws where you otherwise might not function
draws that first game were absolutely brutal
So many lands. And opponent kept tron’ing
Have you tried jolted awake? It can be used as a ramp spell when discarding bridges from faithless looting. Also would suggest maybe terminates instead of cast down to have answers against a guardian
Oh wow, I’ve never considered that synergy before. Sounds sweet
Been looking forward to this one!
Me too!
Ive been brewing mardu ephemerate/initiative for a while now, definitely want to go back to it with this idea
You should. Crushed two leagues with this so far!
Awesome league!!! :)
Thanks - this was a super fun one
nice league. not sure how your setup is but occasionally you unconsciously knock on the desk and the mic picks it up really well, 1 time I thought someone was at the door, and dog freaked out like 4 times throughout the video :) not a big deal but for those with dogs it can be a little stressful.
Dang, I’d probably just have to upgrade to a better, more expensive mic. Might end up getting that and a better camera at some point

Ok, good suggestion. I usually vary the art in the thumbnail but because it was related went for the same. I’ll probably just continue to vary

The brewing videos would be great. It's helpful for me, as I'm a terrible brewer.
Simple rule: don’t put bad cards in your deck 😆
Why do you play looting in this deck? There are better card draw options right ?
Good question. It can be an advantage to put prismatic strands in the graveyard. Then you can cast your monarch or initiative creature and have flashback strands up.
That being said, looting has been performing pretty mid
Wow... Its bad luck or the number of lands is incorrect ?
In game 1? Just a little variance
Where's the video of your 5-0 from today?? 🤨
In the queue of videos coming out, will be out soon. Not the next video released, but the one after
Max to the max.
Oh that old rat lock deck. Your gery hairs are showing
Grey hairs literally showing 👴🏼
