    Thank you for being such a pauper advocate. I've been waiting years for it to catch on in the paper world. Now I can finally brush the dust off my Affinity and Mono Black decks and play them in real life since pauper events are regularly firing at my LGS down here in Fresno CA. You have a large amount of my gratitude for this, prof! Let's all work to keep up the momentum and get an official non-MTGO paper ban-list and regs so that it can be even more accessible to aspiring budget players!

    @2MeatyOwlLegs 6 лет назад +86

    just a minor hint Prof: maybe you should show the common prints of the cards in this deck, so new viewers aren't confused if the card is actually playable

    • @ArmadilloAl
      @ArmadilloAl 6 лет назад +6

      Better yet, don't show the online-only versions of cards with price tags in dollars instead of tickets.
      (He can't do both at the same time, though, because Chainer's Edict.)

    • @thoraxepi

      @devunit2369 6 лет назад

      ArmadilloAl It Kind of makes sense, considering how the legality list goes off of MTGO legality.

    • @druidobianco9734
      @druidobianco9734 6 лет назад +1

      Some cards were never printed in common exept online, so for cards like chainer’s edict he has to show or the online only version with the common simbol, or the printed real card but with the uncommon symbol

    • @prplprince8730
      @prplprince8730 6 лет назад

      Its a UW deck with a splash of G. The core of the deck is Evoke creatures with angelic renewal which will get me 2 triggers or in my late game finisher a Walker of the Grove plus a token. I also have a few blink effects for added value with spellstutter sprites to go with the blinks. Wretched Gryffs are in the deck to proc angelic renewal and value off of the ETB triggers. Deck is fun and people don't expect to play against it which is always a bonus!

  • @codyweaver7546
    @codyweaver7546 6 лет назад +4

    UG Tempo. Delver+Nimble Mongoose+Werebear. You run bounce cards and control spells. The goal is to drop early threats and then pop! Threats off the board and get in.

    • @Sheriff_K
      @Sheriff_K 6 лет назад

      I wish Bounding Krasis had been printed at Common, then maybe such a deck could be a thing.. It's my dream to be able to play UG Tempo in Pauper, but alas.. Closest we have is Madness, and that's not exactly T1. :/

  • @carlbutcher2268
    @carlbutcher2268 6 лет назад

    Building this on MTGO at the moment, just want to offer a little ultra-budget tip: Vodalian Zombie can be substituted for Zombie Outlander, the former costs over a ticket while the latter is less than a tenth of one. The only functional difference is that Prof is running a Merfolk Zombie in an old frame, which is slightly cooler than a Zombie Scout from Conflux. They're both 2/2s with pro-green that cost UB.

  • @447xpro
    @447xpro 6 лет назад +6

    Dear Professor,
    Could we see a Pauper ‘Glyphs’ tech? It’s a really cool deck which tries to reverse engineer the current aggro meta by playing walls and then flinging them at your opponent for the win.

    • @ArmadilloAl
      @ArmadilloAl 6 лет назад

      Given that none of the Glyphs are Pauper-legal (at least as long as it's trying to be a paper format with online deck construction rules), this seems unlikely.

    So I've been waiting to find a control deck before hopping into pauper. Given your comments on the versatility of the deck and my experience being exclusively edh, any suggestions on cards to grab playsets of to try out? Not really sure what format Staples are but if it's only five or ten more to have better options for more matchups that's cool.

  • @chrisperciavalle3142
    @chrisperciavalle3142 6 лет назад +1

    I have a question about different counterspells. Why do I never see rune snag in deck lists? I get that prohibit always counters a 2 cmc for 2 mana no matter what point of the game you are in. But I always like rune snag when it was in standard, and in a deck that is milling itself a bit with forbidden alchemy, couldn't rune snag be just as good as prohibit, but more versatile? Rune snag is often going to make them pay 4, if not more, later in the game. Or is the absolute guarantee from something like prohibit just more important than rune snags versatility?

    • @goelandz878
      @goelandz878 6 лет назад

      The issue with conditionnal card such Rune Snag is giving the possibility to your opponent. Generally in a counterspell war the "debate" is whenever you invest more ressource into the counterspell war or not. Rune snag doesn't require you card to counter, thus you keep your card advantage. Lets take a simple example, I cast a Fugitive Wzard, you cast Rune Snag, I pay 4. Yes I did pay 5 for my Fugitive Wizard, but I didn't loose a single ressource, only mana. The main issue with control is the ressource war, the card advantage. Rune Snag is more a tempo card then a ressource card (Such as delver).. At least that's my 2 cent, I might be wrong but its how I see it.

    • @wirelessg18
      @wirelessg18 6 лет назад

      I love coldsnap but runesnag is fighting most of the best counter spells in magic such as spell pierce and daze. That said there's always room for rouge decks with hot tech answers in more open formats like pauper and you might find the right meta for it.

  • @incrediblefrown1288
