    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!

    Cryptic serpent would be a good creature for this deck as well.
    It has “This spell costs 1 less to cast for each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard”

    Great that Pauper is finally getting paper support.Pauper, love it. Drifted to Pauper around Khans block after 4yrs of playing modern and deciding it was just to expensive to keep 4 modern decks up and running

    Prof loved the video -- thanks to you I got into pauper and I love it. Also your guides are super, duper helpful.

    He finally made a video of the pauper deck I play. It was bound to happen I guess. This a great control deck. Usually only lose with bad draws or getting overrun by slivers or elves if you don't have enough early answers.

    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 Před 6 lety

      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. :/

  • @2MeatyOwlLegs
    @2MeatyOwlLegs Před 6 lety +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 Před 6 lety +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
      @thoraxepi Před 6 lety +4

      Seconded. I was confused at the inclusion of uncommons.

    • @devunit2369
      @devunit2369 Před 6 lety

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

    • @druidobianco9734
      @druidobianco9734 Před 6 lety +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

  • @carlbutcher2268
    @carlbutcher2268 Před 6 lety

    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.

  • @CorpCoCEO

      Philip Rybak what’s the combo? :)

    • @prplprince8730
      @prplprince8730 Před 6 lety

      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!

  • @447xpro
    @447xpro Před 6 lety +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 Před 6 lety

      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.

  • @Daemonite
    @Daemonite Před 6 lety

    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.

    So, a question for everyone out there who are experienced in pauper: Why run Prohibit over Mana Leak? Prohibit seems more limiting in my eyes. That said, Ive never played Pauper so I'm not experienced.

    • @Tada123123
      @Tada123123 Před 6 lety +1

      Ryanosaurus Wrecks pauper is a much slower format that modern. It's the only format where I've seen a 14 card stack.
      Prohibit is always a hard counter for opponents spells when fighting in counterwars where mana leak often would be dead.
      There are a couple match ups where it could be okay but often those match ups are where counters are too slow.
