Beautiful game! Tommy was really surprising in how he turned the game around after successful sideboarding. Also, thank you for an excellent tutorial video. Thanks to them, I'll soon be attending my first Pauper tournament.
@@MengusWorkshop Probably Rakdos Madness or Boros Synthesizer. They’re not often seen at tournaments around here, and mainly, I like to go a bit against the grain. Everyone is playing Sadistic Glee, and I find that boring. I’m more interested in gaining experience rather than focusing solely on winning.
what a comeback lmao. these videos have recently inspired me to get some pauper decks for my friends and honestly, just randomly playing a couple games of pauper is *seriously* so fun. Thanks a bunch for what you guys do, mengu and tommy! ♥
This was fun to watch! I threw together a bunch of pauper decks because a friend wanted to get back into Magic. I thought the Faeries deck looked really good, but it just was not performing when I tried playing it. I learned a lot about how to pilot it from Andrea. For example, in the first game, I was wondering why Andrea didn't ninja out one of his ninjas during a turn when Tommy was tapped out. His next turn, having two ninjas in hand allowed him a line of play that wouldn't have worked with only one ninja.
wow that was an incredible comeback, after game one it looked miserable for tommy, but the witch turned out to be a silver bullet against the deck Never underestimate the power of the side-board, great video as always
OMG! One of the distracting neon sign black dots is gone. Only one more to go. And you’re playing my favorite pauper deck complete with even the same color sleeves that my deck is in. What a day
@@MengusWorkshopI’m even more excited to see you playing faeries, but this is a double blessing! The other one doesn’t show up as much so it’s not as bad.
There are a handful of decks that can win on Turn 0, and a handful of decks that can win on Turn 1. Most are Black decks. Black is the best color, by design, and always will be ❤
At 7:37 Mengu paid 2 for a fairy seer which should only cost one. Great content as always and if you dont mind would give your opinion on how viable uw familiars is in the current meta?
That was cool. I love ninjas, in fact Carl played my old version of them as pauper audience deck a couple of months ago... But the mono edict was too much
Hey, I'm not great at this game, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the witches have still been countered in the exchange at ~16:45? The fairies have an etb counter effect, and they have to enter to be targeted by a destroy spell, right?
No. Triggers on the stack check for their conditions both when they're put on the stack and again when they actually resolve. So the Spellstutter-trigger goes on the stack and it tries to counter a 2-drop spell since Mengu controls 2 faeries. In response, it gets killed. So when the ability that was already on the stack tries to finally resolve, it can only counter a 1-drop spell since Mengu only has a single farie left. Because Witches is a 2-drop spell, it's not a valid target for the trigger anymore, so nothing happens and Witches resolves.
I believe Tommy should have played the Cast Down on the Faerie Seer so that Mengu only controls one faerie when Spellstutter Sprite resolves (making X = 1, meaning it can't counter a 2 mana spell). So, you're right that there was a mistake there, but it's just that the wrong creature was left alive. They're both 1/1 flyers though, so it shouldn't really make a difference.
@@PetaJBread No, they did it correctly. The trigger checks the condition again as it resolves & in killing the Spellstutter, the faerie-count is also reduced to 1 so it can't counter Witches.
@@xEddyTheGr8x oh, I understand. That's not very intuitive but it does make sense. Could also be relevant if you tried to counter a 1-drop with Spellstutter as your only faerie.
the camera set up is very good with the board view and the snaps to players when they talk, this is one of the best ways iv seen paper magic filmed
17:15 Poor Tommy. Andrea Gaslighting goes crazy

Good luck! What deck will you play?

Happy to bring more players to the game! Pauper and Premodern stonks going up!

Tommy's villain laugh at 17:50 is incredible.
keep pumping these out mengu theyre so fun to watch
These videos got me into pauper so quickly, I’d been thinking about it for a while but after building some using the deck lists has been great 😊
I love seeing how much fun and enthusiasm you both have for this game. And that mono-black deck is great!
I love your Pauper content. Please keep it coming!
Honestly by far my favourite MTG content full stop. Building pauper decks to play with mates myself!
Grandi ragazzi, bellissimo questo format, ancora di più quando vedo pauper e premodern!
Next week premodern!
BEST new magic channel and IT AINT CLOSE! Mengu is slaying it with this content
The flex of killing with the Sign In Blood.
Classic Gary.
OMG! One of the distracting neon sign black dots is gone. Only one more to go. And you’re playing my favorite pauper deck complete with even the same color sleeves that my deck is in. What a day
We did it for youuu ahahah is the other one still annoying to you?
@@MengusWorkshopI’m even more excited to see you playing faeries, but this is a double blessing! The other one doesn’t show up as much so it’s not as bad.
I feel like the production has recently gotten better. It's more like Cardmarket now which I really like. It makes the game easy to follow.
Great video! I didn't expect the black deck todo so well. I thought that it was sort of power-crept.
I think it needs deadly dispute + mephitic draught to keep up with any midrange/control deck
@@DiscardatRandom Do you think the black pip on Mephitic Draught makes it better than Ichor Wellspring just based on Gary synergy?
@@jonahpotter5156 I’m not sure the life loss is pretty rough against all the aggressive decks in the meta
Paper Magic really is on another level compared to MTGO and Arena. Thank you both for the great videos!
This is my favorite video yet! Mono U Faeries is my favorite deck in all of MTG!
Got a new monoblack deck to build! Thanks Andrea! Well thank you Tommy actually.
I love seeing mono black, the first pauper deck I really loved
i really like Pauper. just got into the format in the last months, but its so beautiful. nice gameplay there and some decks i like to play.
Sweeeet, gotta love another Tomengu pauper match!
Oh boy! The amount of interaction between the decks was phenomenal! This is shows why Pauper is one of the best formats.
Very funy!!! You are awesome.
Gracias por este contenido tan bueno, Andrea.
Happy holidays!!
Right as I am rewatching the other Pauper videos a new one comes out!!!
Grazie ragazzi a portare video pauper 🙌
Great vídeo as always, lads! I wish you both merry Xmas and happy holidays!
You too!
FaerieNinjaStill is still one of my favorite brews. I need to put that back together one of these days.
Love a Sign In Blood win.
Wizards needs a Pauper Pro Tour so our boy can be a Pauper Pro tour champion! Go Mengu!
Two decks that I want to build?!? HOW ARE YOU READING MY MIND 🤯 (currently finalizing my Mono Black order)
17:15 what a bluff
I love the garys and troll and rats
Can we see a Tort Ex deck on the channel?
I was really looking forward to this match after your league with mono black. The deck still has legs in 2024.
Mono black win ❤❤❤❤ bella andreeee video fantastico
Great video, awesome to see Mono black and finally I watch a video in which Mengu looses 😂❤
Tommy beats me all the time! Check the past videos too :)
1:09 that is the face of someone very satisfied with himself
Tommy is my kind of player

Let's go faeries, my favorite pauper deck
God I love Gary, what a card
Mono nero mazzo vero!
Darn this is where brinebarrow intruder is at least a body that doesnt get pinged down
Witches are so good right now! 😊
Mono Black real deck! (Mono Nero mazzo vero)
That pure disdain for Mengus divination was 5/5
More pauper! Even though modern fire now too and legacy
Tv guys, Can you show your side boarding decisions as you did in other videos?. It's always quite interesting.
fun match to watch 🙂
I’m looking for a pauper deck right now anyone have suggestions
Pauper veedeo > 4 player commander video
For sure !
@MengusWorkshop are you going to do affinity in pauper soon with the new decklist? Thanks
@ we can consider that, thNks for the suggestion
Mengu got premodern stax?
Mengu and Tommy playing Pauper weekly please
Death by SiB is always funny.

😮
FAE :D
Psh, what does this guy know about faeries 😏
Hellooo
I think it’d be really cool if you guys remade some of the Tolarian Community College Professor’s Pauper decks. They’re how I got into pauper.
True.
But you can faebloom wishes and tap the sh^t outta them when they come in to play.
O cara de mono Black precisa jogar suas mágicas antes do cara de fadas compra mais recursos
Why do they pronounce phyrexian like pyrexian? I'm pretty sure Italian has the 'F' sound so the accent doesn't really explain it.
