  • What was the best Pauper deck ever? We made our community vote for one deck to represent each year since 2010, recruited 16 Pauper Experts to play a 5-round tournament, and now we bring you each match of the Top 8. Felicia is playing Andrea and either Goblins or All That Glitters could be knocked out of the tournament.

    Well played, was a lot of fun to watch.But man that glorious realization of Acolyte working on both players creatures that was nasty. Nasty..but entertaining.

    Awesome players and a fantastic video! Cardmarket out here just making the best content, Mengu‘s Workshop is great as well and a chance to see Andrea play more paper magic and very competitively.
    Viele Grüße nach Berlin aus Stuttgart!

    I was refreshing youtube waiting for this.
    Such close games, great ones, and the tech play at the end...
    How about "Block Constructed" as the old days?

      Heavily seconding some Set or Block Constructed

      Block Constructed would be so cool! They need some extra formats to round out the "best deck of all the best deck ever series" tournament anyway

    Incredible pilot for both players, especially the last turn play! I probably would’ve miss the sac all for lethal and I for sure will also miss the crimson acolyte buff prevention. Well played🎉🎉🎉

  • @arnoldjohannfrancisco5641

    YES! My favorite deck won! Thank you for this series and for introducing to me how amazing Pauper is!
    I love All that Glitters!
    Shame about the banlist though.
