All decklists & Swiss matches: bit.ly/49tJHSF Decks featured in this video: bit.ly/3wBH97s The Swiss pilot for Goblins was Bernas Torres The Swiss pilot for Pestilence was @Kirblinxy
The fact that a board of goblins could take down a deck built around steady life gain and dealing small amounts of damage to everything... Wow! It's like Pestilence was built specifically to take down aggro and the goblins just didn't get that memo.
tbf goblins DID get completely shut out in the game where pestilence reached its gameplan. It just turns out that one of the best ways of stopping something is to just kill the controller before they get there.
Idk if Carl is still editing but whoever did, the little PIP video of Andrea’s channel, nice touch! Great way to showcase their content without it intruding on the video playing. Very cool
I'm really proud of what Andrea's doing on his new channel so I wanted to be sure I could shout out my friend's content despite him not having done so himself in the game :) thank you for noticing
@@CardmarketMagic Have to give the editors their props! They put in the work too. And his new channel is great! Highly suggest fans of this channel go check it out.
SPOILERS We did it, gang! Gonna be real here - I went into this with very little hope. Bernas briefed me extensively on the match-up and it boiled down to "Really looks like you're screwed. That deck is built to beat you." But three games of tight draws and Andrea just stumbling a tiny tiny bit with me drawing back-to-back good cards in game 3 means we get to carry this deck to the semifinals!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
gotta say, at game 3 at 12:10, I wonder if I wouldn't have kept that Gobelin cohort in hand to ensure I would play a creature spell next turn and enable my attackers. Not sure what's the best line of action here... anyway, good game ! see you in the semi-finals
Viewers: "I want these matches to go to game 3 so the videos are longer than 15 minutes" Cardmarket: Has a match that goes to game 3 and is still the shortest video in the series.
omg I saw Andrea's gameplan I was like "goblin is fighting an uphill battle here, I hope they can still put up a fight" AND THEN THE DOUBLE LIGHTNING BOLT, GO BURN GO AGGRO
I don't understand magic players loving burn decks. If you want to be aggressive and not think too hard, surely there's another hobby you'll enjoy more
@@josephmathes You don't understand why someone would want to compete with a streamlined and optimized rush down strategy that is good at countering slow-roll value decks? If you don't want to think at all before you speak, surely there's another hobby you'll enjoy more.
Well, I did what I could to get the deck to top 8. Was good to see the deck in action in Mengu's hands and it was even the first deck to go to game 3 this series. Goblin Bushwhacker is just a heck of a card.
You did a wonderful job in the Swiss! We did bets on who would make top 8 and you proved everyone wrong by skillfully piloting it to the filmed rounds :) thank you so much for your participation in the tournament!
I really enjoyed the gameplay in this one - tight plays, precise announcements and super clear communication between the players. Great fun to watch pro pilots - Felicia and Mengu new dream team!
It is so healthy to have an aggro deck this far up to try and keep the slow decks in check. Also I initially picked pestilence in the poll until I remembered how bonkers Legacy goblins is!
wait. Mengu was not kidding, thats how that deck wins! By pinging your opponent and gaining life with your mana base! Man, pauper is crazy! Anyways, great video. Always love to see Mengu, Felicia, and pauper featured :)
That was so incredibly hype to watch and what a good finish! Alot of people were saying this would be a blowout in pestilence's favor but you can NEVER count out the goblins!
The thing i love about your channel is that you are all so nice. Can you please do a saltiest decks series. So playing the most tilting decks from each format against eachother. Similar to best decks in pauper/modern/commander
Pestilence is one of my all-time favorite cards, so many weird brews you can come up with. This will date me pretty hard, but the most fun I ever had playing magic was when I ran a "time bomb" deck that built a board full of creature on-death triggers plus enchantments like last laugh and pestilence (protection through Urza's Armor). It wasn't the best deck once your opponent wrapped their head around the counterplay, but it did surprisingly well at my local tournaments as it disrupted most of the meta around that time - until Psychatog/Upheaval decks shut it down completely.
Congratulations to Felicia and Goblins for advancing to Semifinals! And thanks to Cardmarket for the shoutout! We're now rooting for Jeskai Glitters in Top4!
I wonder in hindsight if pestilence was supposed to mulligan more aggressively… but all those starting hands look solid! I know at the very least I would’ve kept those, although that game 1 hand I’d probably mulligan post sideboard since circle of protection red is so good in this matchup.
noooo, I was hoping for the Pestilence win after seeing Andrea's MTGO video. WB is my favorite color combo and that looks like the perfect representation of those colors.
I'm all in for aggro decks, so I'm very happy for goblins to go through, easily piloted by Felicia... Even if it means Andrea loses, red decks make me happy. 2 guests this time!
5:47 The oldest card I own is a Beta COP: Red. I played it when CounterTop was still legal in Legacy. All of my sideboard cards could be found with Enlightened Tutor - which I could cast in response to the Counterbalance trigger to put whatever mana value I needed on top. 😂
GOBLINS TO THE MOON AND STARS BABEY GOBLINS YESTERDAY GOBLINS TODAY AND GOBLINS TOMORROW CMON BABEY ALL THE WAY FROM GOBBOTOWN TO GOBTOPIA AGGRO TILL I DIE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO thank you for making this series cardmarket it's CONSTANTLY thrilling
I'm glad COPs aren't as prevalent in sideboards as they used to be, legal card but they always seemed so unfair, especially against colors that had no interaction with them.
A note for future editing, the winner of this match is revealed at the start of the video when the pauper bracket is shown (waited to comment so that not many will be spoiled) 😊
Funnily enough, it is not. Pestilence is just a grey card :P if it was revealed it would have been at lower opacity and the Goblins deck would have been in the semis bracket :)
SPOILERS Eeeeeverybody was saying how this was a terrible matchup for goblins in the poll beforehand but surprise, expensive enchantments have a tough time getting down before aggro puts a clock on them!
if you went with red you would have been able to play the first day with chatter and just keep some blockers up, them being 22s they hold up quite well and the turn later you can see what to do from there
0:23 Ummm… The Pestilence image is the same grey as the losing decks. Not sure if that’s coincidental or if you accidentally greyed it out prematurely in the video.
Hey guys, I think the video might be up too early :P (as it is not yet thursday). Its allready linked on the website under "Thursday". If not then nevermind :)
I think in game 1 Mengu shouldn't have died at that moment, since Pristine Talisman's activation is a mana ability and can't be responded to. Probably would have died later anyway but...
To be fair, two of these were upsets :) when we tested the Familiars Storm vs Affinity match-up, Storm won almost every time. And Pestilence is normally a HUGE favourtie vs Goblins. But variance is a part of what makes this game beautiful :D

1 game goblin get lucky tnx for Andrea bricking. But that magic.❤
I don't think goblins can read, so who knows if they got the memo
tbf in g3 goblins had the best draw it could possible hope for

Cheers on the wins I would never have predicted! Glad to see you showing up on the channel more, I'm a fan of your personality and chemistry on set.
you actually played very well, i know its just red aggro but i imagine playing against andrea is nervewracking
Good plays, nice job!

This channel grew SO much, I'm here since the very first video and let me say, I'm so proud of you all guys! Hard work always pays!
this is a perfect demonstration of the saying, "RED DECK WINS"
I really enjoyed the gameplay in this one - tight plays, precise announcements and super clear communication between the players. Great fun to watch pro pilots - Felicia and Mengu new dream team!

Wow I did not expect the winner here but great match regardless excited to see more!
Great to keep seeing Felicia on the channel!
Seconded.
It's Thursday in Japan, thank you guys. Love to end the day with card market!
That was so incredibly hype to watch and what a good finish!
Alot of people were saying this would be a blowout in pestilence's favor but you can NEVER count out the goblins!
Great to see Felicia win, so we have here also the next round. Neat.
I love seeing someone topdeck something and immediately start tapping mana 😂 good game y'all!
The thing i love about your channel is that you are all so nice. Can you please do a saltiest decks series. So playing the most tilting decks from each format against eachother.
Similar to best decks in pauper/modern/commander
I definitely did not expect this! Could have gone either way, very impressive showing and well played by both players!
Two things I learned
Pestilence is basically an orchish Bowmasters
Goblin guide is still an amazing card even at common with downsides
Well now you have Conditional Goblin Guide (its a 2/2 with haste if you have an artifact) with no other downside.
@@OtherSideLLC yeah it's incredible to see such an outdated list get so far when modern aggro lists feel so much smoother and faster
Bro got so excited for the COP red. Reminds me of the early days of magic those were always in casual decks
Just wanted to give feedback, love the videos.
I literally watch every one of them.
Greetings from Germany :)

felicia playing goblins?? fantastic video! also good guy mengucci is here 💜
Great game! Was rooting for the goblin bois, glad they could pull through with a win. Thanks for the content!
great game, I felt my eye twitch when the goblins started flooding the board lol. #Control
Great job Felicia!!!!!! Idk how you kept your head after that boardwipe at the end but you pulled it out!!!!!!
Congratulations to Felicia and Goblins for advancing to Semifinals! And thanks to Cardmarket for the shoutout! We're now rooting for Jeskai Glitters in Top4!
Always happy to shout out quality content :)
Wow great matches! Felicia is fearless!
I have never rooted against mengu until now!!!! Wooooooo let's go!!!!!!
I wonder in hindsight if pestilence was supposed to mulligan more aggressively… but all those starting hands look solid! I know at the very least I would’ve kept those, although that game 1 hand I’d probably mulligan post sideboard since circle of protection red is so good in this matchup.
OMG, a deck that is so difficult to win against, against a pro pilot...give Felicia some credit, that was beyond awesome
Goblins been making me proud. They were my first actual brew all time, and it's awesome to see them win.
Nicely done! This matchup is super cool. 2 of the OG decks of pauper going at it!
noooo, I was hoping for the Pestilence win after seeing Andrea's MTGO video. WB is my favorite color combo and that looks like the perfect representation of those colors.
Goblins seeing a Pestilence deck be like: "Ouch, you better call an ambulance. FOR YOURSELF"
Goblin lover here. This is a very good video!
I thought there was no WAY that would happen. wow!
Felicia is great at beating the odds, great to see her win after the last matchup she had.
I'm all in for aggro decks, so I'm very happy for goblins to go through, easily piloted by Felicia... Even if it means Andrea loses, red decks make me happy.
2 guests this time!
Those Goblins didn't come to joke around, holy
As a primarily red player, I am very happy seeing this 🥰

Hmmm. Hard one to know who I'm rooting for. Any outcome is great. Lovely folks!
I'm glad COPs aren't as prevalent in sideboards as they used to be, legal card but they always seemed so unfair, especially against colors that had no interaction with them.
Gotta Love goblins, there are budget deck for a reason but they're always fun.
Love this series!
That 10 turn clock was really orzhovy
Crazy that goblins beat the deck that specifically kills small creatures.
Both decks really showed up today.
That's the nice thing about aggro honestly. All the sweepers in the world mean nothing if you're dead the turn you can cast them.
I love Goblins so much. It's beautiful.
Only just started the video but I’m here to support the goblins! The true winner of the people :)
Spoilers: OMG YESSS GO GOBLINS
Goblin decks are the texbook definition of "Here for a good time, not a long time."
Epic!
Such a difficult MU
Felicia adds different personality to the games. I love the whole card market cast.
A note for future editing, the winner of this match is revealed at the start of the video when the pauper bracket is shown (waited to comment so that not many will be spoiled) 😊
Funnily enough, it is not. Pestilence is just a grey card :P if it was revealed it would have been at lower opacity and the Goblins deck would have been in the semis bracket :)
7:20 yes, this is unironically what I want to see.
Felicia do be Goblin tho
I liked that part when the goblins attacked
SPOILERS
Eeeeeverybody was saying how this was a terrible matchup for goblins in the poll beforehand but surprise, expensive enchantments have a tough time getting down before aggro puts a clock on them!
Felicia is so pretty
It’s like an instant dose of dopamine every Thursday
I love these Pauper videos! Any chance you'll do some Premodern too?
Goblins! Goblins! Goblins!
Also... finally a match that goes to game 3!
You should make goblins only tournament, standard, pioneer, pauper, modern, legacy, vintage, edh to show differences in format
Great game you two!
we need a best of the best decks ever! make best modern deck play vs pauper play vs standard etc etc (maybe add commander 👀)
Once we have done 8 of these, that's the plan :)
Damn that was cool to watch!
Minor Spoilers:
Game two was the perfect example of why WOTC doesn't print cards like Circle of protection anymore
Yesss pauper series !
Great videos. Just a little annotation, on 0:25 you spoiled the result of the match. Just a heads up. Keep up the amazing work!
We did not 😅 that just the colour of Pestilence... if it was actually out it would be semitransparent
@CardmarketMagic then Pestilence foretold it's own demise
i still love cardmarket ❤
Rooting for those basic mountains!
Only 14 mins!? This is gonna be brutal
I believed in the power of goblins since day one😤😤
Yes, more pauper Content!!!
if you went with red you would have been able to play the first day with chatter and just keep some blockers up, them being 22s they hold up quite well and the turn later you can see what to do from there
that gives you more flexibility post draw
Is circle working the way he did? I feel like it pays 1 mana for 1 red source, in the game he pays 1 for all red sources? i am new to the game tho
0:23 Ummm… The Pestilence image is the same grey as the losing decks. Not sure if that’s coincidental or if you accidentally greyed it out prematurely in the video.
That's just the colour of the card 😅 it just looks weird
@@CardmarketMagic coincidences happen 😅
The best combo in this matchup is Andrea and Felicia.
Hey guys, I think the video might be up too early :P (as it is not yet thursday). Its allready linked on the website under "Thursday". If not then nevermind :)
its thursday..
Not 20 hours ago dude@@PNigl1994
It released on Thursday.
They are based in Europe.
@@PNigl1994he posted that yesterday lol
It's great that gobo's grab those lightning fast wins and Pestilence takes so long to win it's better to just concede.
3:21 sond name please :D
That second game, omg.
I think in game 1 Mengu shouldn't have died at that moment, since Pristine Talisman's activation is a mana ability and can't be responded to. Probably would have died later anyway but...
Mengu went from 5 to 6 life. Double bolt deals 6 damage
Could have just responded to her own bolt after Talisman happens. Either way, still dead when the second bolt resolves.
Love Mengu, but love Goblins more! Go Goblins!!
RED DECK WINS!!
Let’s go pestilence, rooting for u in this match
I feel like I'm missing something... in game 2, why was Felicia not playing her lands?
In case she draws flame jab 👍
@@CardmarketMagic Ahhh. Thanks!
YAYYYYYYY, the best deck won here
Good joblins to the goblins!
YES!!! God, my heart... Wait, is this comment a spoiler?
I am, somehow, 0/3 on choices here. I’m flabbergasted.
To be fair, two of these were upsets :) when we tested the Familiars Storm vs Affinity match-up, Storm won almost every time. And Pestilence is normally a HUGE favourtie vs Goblins. But variance is a part of what makes this game beautiful :D
You should never underestimate the Goblins NEVER!!!
This why pauper is awesome
Man if goblins win the whole thing I’ll be flabbergasted
