Cardmarket Best Pauper Deck Ever - (2019) Orzhov Pestilence - The Swiss Rounds

[@mech6540]

I'm glad the pestilence guy is back again

[@Kirblinxy]

It's nice to know I'm more than just a 1 deck pony.

[@alvoi4379]

Wow! Now I want to play Pestilence in Pauper again 😂

[@Kirblinxy]

If it has a chance vs glitters then it must be still somewhat viable!

@@Kirblinxy I'd love to see an updated list ran thru a league! i really enjoyed this video and am tempted to sleeve it up again as well

[@Kirblinxy]

@@myndzi9926 Pr0boszcz recently top 4'd a challenge with Pest with 8 inspector. Might try that out in the next couple of weeks.

[@hendrikd2113]

Truly a man of the people!

[@Deerd]

I was waiting this video!

[@viniciusline]

What a run! I'd watched the match against Chatterstorm on Weber's channel and thought this deck wouldn't stand a chance against the field. Glad to be wrong. Thank you for the show!

[@Kirblinxy]

I also thought it wouldn't stand a chance. Glad we were both wrong.

[@oriorb]

gosh, i remember running a list almost exactly like this back in the day at local paper events. super excited about the matches :)

[@Kirblinxy]

Mengu will be playing this same list in like 2 weeks on the cardmarket channel. Keen to see how it ends up.

[@jeffersonaraujo7591]

Great iniciative and great content!

[@Kirblinxy]

Much appreciated!

[@Kaubocks]

This video getting recommended to me by KZbin is perfect timing. I've been enjoying Cardmarket videos for a while, and I recently learned a store near me does Pauper nights. I'd love to get back into 1v1 formats without spending a lot of money, so I've been really eager to give it a go. This deck looks like so much fun to me. Learning in Game 3 that you can activate Pestilence in the end step to avoid having to sacrifice it for a turn blew me away. I'm excited to see how this does in the Cardmarket matches, and I see you have more updated decklists on your channel. I'll be checking those out, and I'll have to keep this deck in mind when I'm ready to play. :)

[@Kirblinxy]

I'm also keen to see how it does in the Carkmarket matches. It has Goblins in round 1 so it should get to be in at least 2 videos if my swiss round against goblins is anything to go by. My updated list is still probably a little out of date as it didn't even have Tithing blade, but it is still more streamlined than this version. I still think Black Gardens is the better black control deck of the format, but Pest is more fun for me.

[@Kaubocks]

@@Kirblinxy I have too many fond memories of my friend in school locking me down with Pestilence and Edicts while I was still learning how to play the game. Just looking to play casually at FNMs anyway, so I don't mind being suboptimal for the sake of personal attachment. I'll check out some more recent lists- thanks!

[@neros_soren]

I am so glad, Probe is not in Pauper anymore...

[@Kirblinxy]

I don't like playing with my hand revealed either.

[@DrSiddha]

1:35h you could pest away all the board and attack with one sentinel. If they trade with the enforcer you remain with 2 creatures, if not you get the monarch back...4-1 very impressive though! Do you think this version is stronger than the more modern one?

[@Kirblinxy]

Nah, the removal package in this deck is very dated. Like there should be Cast Down's and maybe even Tithing Blade. Deck is going to have a hard time in a meta where Tithing Blade is everywhere though. Deck relys on Guardian a little too much. Need something more hybrid with some extra creatures so the guardian doesn't fall to edicts.

[@888ian2]

hey, at 38:10 you probably should've play that instant edict in their upkeep

[@Gaghiel]

Good games pleasure to watch, hi5

[@Kirblinxy]

Hi 5! Thanks for all your comments, I never know how to reply to them but thought I at least give you a hi5 back at some point :)

[@Gaghiel]

​@@Kirblinxy thanks :) Huge fan and want to show support.

[@kingfuzzy2]

gotta love off meta decks

[@Kirblinxy]

Even in 2019 this deck was off-meta. I don't know how it was even in the poll to begin with 😅

[@akuyara4420]

Pest in a challenge when?

[@Kirblinxy]

I've lost tickets playing sillier decks. May do it one day once I stop 4-2ing with dredge 😅

[@ricardoprado316]

Gitaxian probe?

[@kyojin7750]

Why do you and AdeptoTerra played with under powered decks with no banned cards while Kalikaiz bullied everyone with Familiar Storm?

[@Kirblinxy]

The decks were all what the people voted for on the cardmarket page. We did get to choose the deck we wanted to play out of the 16 when we signed up. I actually got in early and wanted to try and give this deck a chance to top 8. Adepto was a bit later and most of the broken decks had been taken by then.

[@kyojin7750]

@@KirblinxyOk, so that's his fault. You on the other hand are just rolling with your usual underdog way. No wonder you get many people rooting for you!
