That Distant Melody was brutal. Thoralf already had more lands then he needed to snowball and then just bricked. I felt that to the depths of my ramp loving, drawing the wrong half of my deck soul.
But it wasn't the Distant Melody's fault for all the lands, they would have been drawn anyway as the turns went on. It was actually good in a way, it removed those lands from the top of the deck, at least, now Thoralf can draw spells again.
Yeah, so brutal. Especially since it wasn't the wrong |half" of his deck, it was the wrong sixth. Elves runs so few lands, drawing four there was very unlucky.
We love Andrea! He's the best! Bring him every week! (Well, every week might be tough, but who knows? If we have a million subscribers, maybe we can afford bringing Andrea back every week, and then we have infinite Pauper Andrea shenanigans. Well...)
I love how Andrea gives tips about how to properly play the deck. This really elevates this above "just a gameplay" video and is somewhat educational if you're playing the format yourself.
Pauper videos are what brought me to the channel to begin with. Always more pauper. But honestly, no other YT MTG channel has the quality of play like Cardmarket does. It's so easy to follow games and the commentary has helped so much when watching videos on other formats I have not familiarity with.
i'm SO HAPPY to hear that andrea always asks to play pauper, because thats EXactly how i feel! modern and standard is great, and so are the videos with more unusual formats/games- but pauper is always the best in my opinion. (but i really do love all the cardmarket stuff :) )
It's a crime you all are not like extremely huge.. Your editing is legit, your guests are awesome, your chemistry is great... I love this channel. Great work guys.
About 1 in 1,000. He had already removed 7 nonlands and 4 lands from the deck (hand, board, graveyard). Assuming 14 lands total in the 60 the chance of drawing 4 consecutive lands is (10/49)*(9/48)*(8/47)*(7/46) = 0.0991%.
I've compleated my version of synthesizer today, played against it with my friend, and when I came back home, this video was up on the channel, that's so wild!
Cardmarket has quickly become my favourite magic channel, I'm not a competitive player but love the content. It's like getting a glimpse into the minds of better players
We love Andrea!! bring him back every day!!!! Seriously, these videos are always super cool, and I love seeing affordable decks pop off!! This makes me wanna play boros synthesiser now, it looks super sweet!!!
Thoralf and Andrea is my ideal combo for these videos. The speed of play, knowledge, and most of all how much fun they have playing one another. Loved the game 1 galvanic blast and Thoralf shuffling for Andrea to pick at random hahaha
I got to know about Andrea through cardmarket and I love his and your pauper content :D I'm planning on buying the orzhov skyfisher deck that andrea is currently playing and will keep boros as a back up :3
I was just watching the last Andrea & Thoralf pauper match again hoping for another video ! These videos are so wonderfully fun and extremely helpful to watch and learn from. Thanks as always for the great work !
Welcome back, love to see more Andrea. Poor Thoralf at G1 with the forest draw (but the draw next ame was very much highroll). But since I like to be detailist. At 6:58 technically Krark sacriface artifact, that put Ichor on stack(that is mandatory ), then he retain priorit and can (in reaction) sacriface the other one. So stacks resolution goes Draw->1 damage->Draw 1->1 damage and if Andrea wanted he could play something after his first draw or perhaps sacriface artifact if we want to follow stakcs :) not draw 2 then deals 2 damage.:). Its also good to keep in mind in case opponent have say X/1 Y/5 Z/2 and you have 4 artifacts. You can sacriface one, draw first check if you draw Galvanic Blast (so you have metalcraft) and if not sacriface one more to still kill everything but Y/5. It usually doesnt matter especially when there are in fact no reactions, but its not correct. That Boros is also lovely deck must feels very good to play, well builded one. I was always sucker for samurai and Kamigawa block so I gotta say ultilizing brings me joy to watch. It feels incredible consistent. Maybe not the best deck, but consistence is key.
They had choreographed a big fight in the bazaar against the guy waving around the scimitar, but Harrison Ford was sick that day and tired of filming so he did his own choreography
Pauper videos are always my favorite, because the pace of the game is right how I like it. Great video, sad to see Elves get absolutely destroyed so easily.
We love andrea, he's the best bring him every week well, every week might be tough but who knows if we have a million subscribers maybe we can afford bringing Andrea back every week and then we have infinite Pauper and Andrea Shenanigans
I mainly watched this to encourage channels to produce some non-Commander content. I always like watching these guys play Pauper too. One comment is that the music is fine, just occasionally overpowering.
this is just what I needed starting back pauper tourneys again and ive noticed my red burn deck needed some adjusting since my baby swiftspear got banned. GG guys!!
I love these head-to-head videos still - especially with Mr Gucci! Please avoid music with vocalisations in future though, even if they aren't lyrics/dialogue there's something distracting about them. Starting off the new year I'd love to see a pauper tournament style series with Mengu while you have him.
We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him back every week! Well every week might be tough but who knows. If we have a million subscribers maybe we can afford bringing andrea back every week. And then we have infinite pauper and Andrea shenanigans.
Huge fan of pauper. I have a battle box of decks I keep up to date with 12 decks that all match vs each other fairly well (and an archaic tortex deck that can no longer keep up sadly). But also that acid jungle track playing in the middle of this video was almost distractingly good lmao
aaahh, it warms my heart to hear someone that lived most of their lives (I assume) not in the U.S talk about an American Classic like Indiana Jones :D Culture is amazing

@@GraemeGunn Still means that his big payoff refuel spell didn't refuel like he needed it to.
@@piercearora7681 yeah that's the game
Yeah, so brutal. Especially since it wasn't the wrong |half" of his deck, it was the wrong sixth. Elves runs so few lands, drawing four there was very unlucky.
Most Pauper Elves lists run what, 14/15 lands?! He drew 9 of those! Bad beats.
4:55 ah yes, the classic "add 4 forests to your hand" gotta love it
We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him back every week!
That's exactly what I was gonna say! How'd you know!? 😉
We love Andrea, but we love Vladimir Bulanov even more!
We love Andrea! He's the best! Bring him every week! (Well, every week might be tough, but who knows? If we have a million subscribers, maybe we can afford bringing Andrea back every week, and then we have infinite Pauper Andrea shenanigans. Well...)
That would be wonderful :)
Pauper is always a good time, especially with the man Andrea Mengucci himself
Mr. Mengu, Master of Magic ❤
I love the pauper videos from thoralf and mengu, its always very fun to watch
I love how Andrea gives tips about how to properly play the deck. This really elevates this above "just a gameplay" video and is somewhat educational if you're playing the format yourself.
5:20 what a brutal draw 4 lands in the deck that must run less then 20 lands
Pauper Elves run 11-13 lands lol
@@AENockactually not, is about 14-15 but ye, still
@@alexssain Most just run 12 and if you play land grant, run just 8. So @AENock was right ;)
Pauper videos are what brought me to the channel to begin with. Always more pauper.
But honestly, no other YT MTG channel has the quality of play like Cardmarket does. It's so easy to follow games and the commentary has helped so much when watching videos on other formats I have not familiarity with.
I'm happy you enjoy them :) I put a lot of work into the 1v1 gameplay videos especially
Yes! More Pauper AND two new decks for the feature match. Thanks Carl & co!
Thank you! For your kind comment :)
-C
So happy you guys are back! Been missing the competitive content for the past few weeks. :)
I'm happy we get to scratch that itch :)
*in a high pitched voice*
We love Andrea, he's the best! Bring him every week!
Andrea is an excellent guest, definitely get him in more often!
Great to see that the videos are coming back!
i'm SO HAPPY to hear that andrea always asks to play pauper, because thats EXactly how i feel! modern and standard is great, and so are the videos with more unusual formats/games- but pauper is always the best in my opinion. (but i really do love all the cardmarket stuff :) )
Pauper often just feels more like OG magic, less power-creepy cards etc
These well edited gameplay videos are always my favorite of yours, hope to see more of these in the future.
We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him back every week! (Also great video as usual!)
We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him back every week.
We love Andrea he’s the best bring him every week 🙂🎉
17:16 the synchronicity! Love the pauper vids. Also please keep inviting Andrea!
Pauper is my favorite format! Glad to see another one uploaded
Love the 1v1s, y’all are the best at it and it’s my favorite mtg content.
That's so nice to hear :D thank you!
It's a crime you all are not like extremely huge.. Your editing is legit, your guests are awesome, your chemistry is great... I love this channel. Great work guys.
We love Andrea! He is the best! We want to see him every week!
So happy you guys are back making content again!
It's always a joy to see Mengu as a guest here. Would it be possible to have decklists included in the description?
These gameplay videos (going all the way back to the beginning) are my absolute favorites ones out there. So much fun to watch. Job well done.
We love Andrea, hes the best, bring him back every week!
Really want to know the odds of drawing 4 straight lands on turn 4 with that distant melody. That was brutal
And with a deck that has 13 lands max
About 1 in 1,000.
He had already removed 7 nonlands and 4 lands from the deck (hand, board, graveyard). Assuming 14 lands total in the 60 the chance of drawing 4 consecutive lands is (10/49)*(9/48)*(8/47)*(7/46) = 0.0991%.

It's a wonderful deck :) I maintenant it on mtgo and I heavily recommend it, you have game against anything that isn't combo!
Card market videos with Andrea are always a must watch!
We love Andrea!
He's the best!
Bring him back every week!
Andrea and Thoralf vibe so well. Pauper content is always fun!
Love to see Andrea back on the channel he brings a really good energy to the videos

Yes yes yes, love pauper so much please do these more this is the best format in magic.

we love andrea bring him here every week
Pauper is my second favourite format starting with P, so I definitely love seeing more content for it!
We love Andrea! He's the best! Bring him every week!
Seeing the distant melody rip makes me happy to have picked up flesh and blood recently as my current competetive card game to play
we love andrea hes the best bring him every week
We love Andrea, please bring him back every week!
Pauper videos are always my favorite, because the pace of the game is right how I like it. Great video, sad to see Elves get absolutely destroyed so easily.
Please bring Andrea back - he's most welcome! More pauper too please! Although I know there's some on the horizon. Couldn't be happier
Andrea will be back soon :) don't worry. And of course we'll be doing more pauper
Always love seeing pauper and mengu on the channel!
The best duo playing the best format!
7:46 I aolmost expect to him to say "sideboard is going to be quite shallow... because I am taking out all forests" as a joke
So nice to watch pauper games that aren't just counterspells and snuff out every turn. Good stuff.
Unfortunate match up!
We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him every week!
We love andrea, he's the best bring him every week
well, every week might be tough but who knows
if we have a million subscribers maybe we can afford bringing Andrea back every week and then we have infinite Pauper and Andrea Shenanigans
I'm a simple man. I see Thoralf and Mengu on a thumbnail, i click on it
I mainly watched this to encourage channels to produce some non-Commander content. I always like watching these guys play Pauper too. One comment is that the music is fine, just occasionally overpowering.
That synth deck is my favorite. I love pauper so much as a format, it's awesome
We love Andrea! bring him back every week!
this is just what I needed starting back pauper tourneys again and ive noticed my red burn deck needed some adjusting since my baby swiftspear got banned. GG guys!!
But we do love Andrea and do bring him back every week if possible :D that would be so nice
I love these head-to-head videos still - especially with Mr Gucci!
Please avoid music with vocalisations in future though, even if they aren't lyrics/dialogue there's something distracting about them.
Starting off the new year I'd love to see a pauper tournament style series with Mengu while you have him.
We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him back every week! Well every week might be tough but who knows. If we have a million subscribers maybe we can afford bringing andrea back every week. And then we have infinite pauper and Andrea shenanigans.
Always down to watch Andrea play
Love you guys, so smooth and fun to watch❤
“Infinite pauper and Andrea shenanigans”
Sign me up!
I'm honestly surprised you guys don't already have a million subscribers
We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him every week! 😅
4:56 is absolutely hilarious
We love Andrea, he's the best. Bring him back every weeeeeek
We need more of the cool glasses man❤ We love Andrea!
Oh yeah! Pauper!
Such a fun format to watch.
Keep up the work! We want to see him every week!
Awesome video again! Love it when you guys play pauper.
Starting the year off with pros playing pauper!
I don't know why, but felt like eat it/edict was a reference for a music video from mtgRemy. Amazing content from you guys.
We love andrea!
Bring him back every week!

I enjoy Andrea so much on the Channel!!!!!
You should do a different win-con Commander with Andrea!!!
A real highlight of my pauper day.
That last play with Shaman and Bolt was very smart
I love the fury vs peace and petals at the start. Thor lad wants to redeem himself!!!
