    Tweaking and finalizing my invisible Stalker voltron/control. Sounds fun and sneaky, able to steal a game or two

    This video was awesome to see where the format stands nowaydays. Great to see how it consolidates Gretchen and TPI as the boogeymen, followed closely by malcolm and abdel. Important to notice that Abdel also put in results with candlekeep and iron throne, so maybe he should have been bumped up one position in the final analysis, even if the background has changed.

    • @ankylosaurmtg
      @ankylosaurmtg  Před 8 měsíci

      I definitely see where you're coming from with regards to Abdel -- he did get 4 top appearances between the three different decks. I think the black and the blue variants of Abdel play differently enough that I wouldn't want to lump them together, but I think a strong case could be made that Candlekeep is just a super-charged version of the Sword Coast Sailor deck, so perhaps I should have combined those two in my analysis. Thanks so much for the comment!

      Gatorbait has been playing around with Toggo infect recently, with the idea that you can give infect creatures rocks and either pick off creatures, or deal poison damage directly to players without getting into combat. You can find his list here: www.moxfield.com/decks/UV2dwx4VGUWgGo7QgNGLPw

      Many of the cPDH tournaments that take place happen online over Discord! The biggest ones are held in the Sanctuary PDH Discord -- if you go here, you can find a link to the server with tournament details, and play pick-up webcam games there, too: www.sanctuarypdh.com
      People are playing there almost every night, and they run FNM-style events with commentary on Fridays (7PM U.S. Eastern time) as well.

    Been meaning to ask. So I enjoy foiling out my pauper cards because it's funny. Are these tournaments so strict regarding cards that don't have foils made of them yet or is it like modern or legacy tournaments where all cards need to be uniform. Also yes some cards are warped due to wizards card quality but nothing to to crazy will I get a dq for it? Just some questions I have been pondering lately. Thank you for the help

    • @ankylosaurmtg
      @ankylosaurmtg  Před 5 měsíci +1

      This is more of a question for the tournament organizer/head judge of the individual tournament, I think. While many will be okay with you running foils in your deck, it’s always best to ask first and make sure. I will say, though, that if you have a card that’s a bit warped, I would probably err on the side of caution and play a non-foil version of it instead. I can’t definitively say you’d get DQ’d -- again, that's up to the judge -- but I also wouldn’t want you to get in trouble, either!

      @@ankylosaurmtg well in all honesty if I was going to a money tournament I'd just buy my deck in non foil anyway. I pick up pauper staples in foil because it's just fun to do for me. Thank you for the info though id certainly make sure to do that if given the chance

    • @ankylosaurmtg
      @ankylosaurmtg  Před 5 měsíci +1

      It does! It leads to some really huge turns (and is why the deck runs so many mana rocks, to let you activate 2+ times and then cast your big lifegain spells.) Thanks for watching!

    So does this mean that the Pauper edh rules committee eventually decided to allow uncommon backgrounds? I kinda tuned out since they first came out and they said only common backgrounds. neat. New goal! Finish EDH plans and then build pauper and pdh.

    • @ankylosaurmtg
      @ankylosaurmtg  Před 7 měsíci

      The current PDH rules are that you can only use uncommon backgrounds with your commander. Common ones can be in the 99, but uncommon ones are the only ones allowed for your command zone. It's a really fun format! I highly recommend jumping in if you get the chance!

    How are multiplayer brackets run?

    • @ankylosaurmtg
      @ankylosaurmtg  Před 8 měsíci

      Great question! The online tournaments I've played in are run through topdeck.gg, which uses software called Command Tower to do all the registration, pairings/pod building, calculating tiebreaks, etc. You can find more information about it at topdeck.gg/subscribe

      Yes! All the events in the video are multiplayer. There is a two-player version of Pauper EDH (Pauper Duel Commander, or PDC), but I am not very familiar with their tournament scene.
