We Play Your Pauper Decks

Decklist: bit.ly/3SPsezf

[@SirFranticLight]

Thanks. Was already looking for them :)

[@idanbhk3875]

These decks weren't great, and that was fun. So... When are you gonna ask people for the worst cards they know, and build good decks with them?

[@fredrikhjorth4867]

​@@SirFranticLight😂

[@YourAdHere4]

the real joy of pauper is seeing extremely strong yet narrow hate cards from 30 years ago. destroy all auras at instant speed for 2? sure why not

[@2LettersSho]

Patrician's Scorn is a particularly nasty one since it doesn't slow you down at all but my favourite is Leave No Trace for being so good against Bogles and an interesting use of a pretty bad mechanic. Sometimes looking at Pauper sideboards makes me think Wizards used to really dislike enchantments XD

[@anihopkins6788]

Carl sweating over counterspells with Thoralf sitting there with six slimes and a Serene Heart is so funny

[@ARC--5973]

Such is the raw power of 2 untapped blue mana.

[@joshua_lee732]

16:10 Top decks an island "Ah, now you come" Every blue player ever.

[@rileykwinn3527]

YES, MORE PAUPER CONTENT! You guys are one of the only channels that makes quality pauper videos, and it’s so great to be able to see people playing my favorite format.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoy them :) we are launching the "Best Pauper Deck Ever" series soon, I hope you'll enjoy watching all the best pauper decks of all time face against each other :)

[@nivnikov]

@@CardmarketMagic I hope, we will see Vladimir Bulanov piloting one of the decks!

[@marcelinereid]

Ive been binging your pauper videos recently and just refreshed youtube to find a new one :D

[@CardmarketMagic]

I hope you enjoy! :D

[@Aurelius2142]

I love all the stuff that you guys do, but I'm so glad to see more classic 1v1 videos ;-; The variety can be fun, but really I just like to watch you guys play magic!

[@jorritdriessen5728]

I feel like the Thoralf interview about seeing impat tremors and impulses was misplaced in the video, at the time of the interview neither had been revealed so far

[@matthewspear2053]

I was very confused

[@natebeal18]

The editor definitely fucked it.

[@titusklebl6692]

It was all planned as a Teaser

[@CardmarketMagic]

An interview from the future 😊

[@Scub]

@@natebeal18maybe the editor is just human. Mistakes happen. Nevermind. Great video anyway! ❤

[@hallowedmist4289]

when the presence of gond was revealed I was excited I immediately thought midnight guard it was my very first combo back in 2013 that I figured out myself as a new player very happy thanks for the video love pauper

[@Reaprar]

Thank you for helping keep pauper alive 💗

[@CardmarketMagic]

We do our best :) it's such a wonderful and accessible format

[@svankensen]

31:09 Carl remembered the lesson: "Make them have it".

[@ursulcx299]

Pauper

[@fbinimelis]

What matters is the Journey, I genuinely laughed with that line

[@BobertJoe]

4:30 Seems like Thoralf got his notes a bit mixed up here, since he hasnt actually seen any impulse cards at this point.

[@MV_Magic7337]

I submitted my own version of Presence of Guard combo, but I love to see the twist on adding red for card draw and impact tremors! Truly the community finds a way to always add new twists!

[@viridian8853]

My version is abzan for discard, which helps against any answers they'll have for the combo. It also doesn't have to have the combo to win because it can beat down with beefy dudes like Putrid Leech and Gurmag Angler

[@piercearora7681]

You guys are the best magic channel out there. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thank you for your kind words :)

[@javierpatag3609]

The background music you chose for this video (start to 2:20) is remarkably warm and relaxing. I like it!

[@tylerabrams8063]

The enjoyment from watching mtg videos often comes from just the fun the people at the table are having. You guys have such infectious fun it makes all the videos so enjoyable! i am always partial to commander just because it means more players having more fun, but the 1v1s you guys do are fantastic to watch! im waiting for you guys to have the Professor on or vice versa!

[@AnonYmous-et4mz]

13:48 Great engagement play, misaligning the mana symbols like that. Got me pausing and commenting immediately. Also, great stuff, guys, as always :)

[@ThrabenValiant]

Great content! I love the friendly banter, which has been such a huge part of why i love pauper in person. And the card headers in each person's hand is just awesome. Thanks for the content!

[@curtisjamesbw]

The best format from the best channel. Gold

[@AXLOLDINMAMMA]

34:14 why did he not tap the midnight guard before the slime player untapped?

[@SassyCasserole]

Yay pauper! I love to see y'all play pauper! Can't wait for more :)

[@sunnydfangirl]

the soundtrack for this video was distinctly jazzier than normal; how delightful

[@byrontheusurper6505]

Both decks bricking like crazy in the 2nd game is so funny to me!

[@NZPIEFACE.]

The flood of Mountains and Islands in game 2 was so funny.

[@JJW410]

Love the pauper content. There's only so many modern staples a boy can handle before he needs something fresh!

[@jasongray435]

Great video; the end of the first game was awesome!

[@josed.9874]

Best MTG gameplay channel!

[@NogoatsnogloryOld]

We love Pauper videos, loved these decks, fun video. more pauper always!

[@theblakwarior]

The "look at all these slimes" image was amazing😂 I do have a beginner question tho. At the end, when thoralf was tapped out, and carl had assebled his combo, why did he wait for thoralf to untap to make all the tokens. Isnt the board more vulnerable in that configuration with removal and the like? Its not like thoralf could be holding up a wraith of god or something like that. (Not trying to be backhanded, I'm just very unknowledgeable and would like to learn more)

[@arthurbosma6369]

I noticed the same and would also consider it an error, also given the fact that Carl was aware of the risk of aura destruction at this point

[@CardmarketMagic]

I don't need to tap it there and it's generally good practice to wait till you the last moment for these kinds of things.in this case, I got punished by artifact removal. Which I earnestly did not expect to be in a user submitted deck 😅 I was poorly trying to play around echoing truths

[@theblakwarior]

@@CardmarketMagic oooh, I havent even considered that something like that would just wipe the board of 1/1s. There's so much to keep track of in magic! Damn, this game is hard! Well were you did get punished, there wasnt much you could do except like wait until you draw a counterspell? Eh. You did say better to go for the win than to play too scared, when you have other options in hand. Also of course looking at it with hindsight, way easier than in the moment. Better to keep to best practises when in doubt? Anyways, thank you for your time and all the insight these videos provide!

[@awxangel6781]

agreed makes more sense (imho) to play around the serene heart that you've seen than a potential answer that you haven't seen. Especially since Midnight Guard + 1/1 isn't racing the oozes.

[@ultimatev1]

I'd love to see more pauper content! I think that its a really cool format that i know hardly anything about! Plus there arent a lot of other places to find gameplay on youtube

[@oafkad]

I love pauper. I'm still convinced it is the only format they can't break because it is the hardest for them to milk. They may prove me wrong someday but for now riding high!

[@Loop_Life]

Cannot wait for the best pauper deck of all time series to start so keeeeeen. Keep up the amazing content

[@CardmarketMagic]

We can't wait either! The Swiss is being played right now and the results so far are wild :D

[@saltandpauper]

I think it would've been REALLY funny to set you guys up to both play slime decks against each other without knowing. lol! But always excited to see more pauper content!

[@greenwave819]

The odds of drawing a spell pierce are in fact 100% when you cantrip at end of turn

[@boleto_toon]

Heyyy Pauper!!! Love to see it, also, very good and different decks, you're always on point with great content

[@frankwhitfield-tk6dh]

Carl's question to Thoralf at 34:25-26 is so sweet!

[@xxlpulselxx]

Carl: "That's frustrating, but that happens." That's life in a nutshell.

[@freal7412]

At first I thought the buttons on Carl's hat were little giggle eyes, and it fits his character so well I wasn't even surprised :D

[@Mr.StarrordG]

Whenever i see a cardmarket video i will stop what i'm doing immediately and watch it

[@CardmarketMagic]

We'll do our best to make it worth it :)

[@RibusPQR]

"Future Carl already sounds annoying." The Cardmarket crew has good chemistry :)

[@gersoncoelho]

Paupeeeeeeeer ! woo woo 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@alessandroliafooksantos7425]

I always love when you guys play pauper decks!!

[@byrontheusurper6505]

Slime against humanity is so cool!!

[@davidhansen5067]

Loved the pauper gameplay! Keep it coming!

[@jacksonstein8866]

Love seeing fun pauper brews!!

[@LazarusIsBackBaby]

Why would Carl pass the turn at 34:16 instead of making a billion elves? Thoralf was tapped out, I don't get why Carl gave him the opportunity to draw a solution.

[@AlexHamilton86]

This is why contrary to the general pauper meta, I like to run "actual" counterspells - counterspell/dispel/annul/blast- far too often you'll have a spell pierce / spike / metallic rebuke in hand which don't end up doing their job

[@NNNNTTTT-q6c]

Lovely music choice in the second game there

[@jellevanderschaar420]

Carl should be disqualified, at 24:58 he played 2 lands in 1 turn, he sneaked a forest into play at the start and played a mountain at the end of his turn :D

[@electra_]

Two explores Kappa

[@velocirapturedinosir8164]

Maaannnnn sometimes I think some of these games are slightly stacked (Someone drawing into a win con the turn before they die happens alot) but then I see games with 5 islands and 3 mountains and nothing to cast for 3 turns. All I'm saying is it's perfect.

[@lupusofaquarius7434]

Always happy to see pauper, keep the excellent work!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thank you! Pauper is great and we try our best :)

[@Swimmerwoad]

The buzzer beater in game 1 was so good, thats a game of magic right there

[@sleprvrru6y-lin-92]

i wonder if penny is a format y'all would be interested in showcasing , i love the budget on it. usually its less than 2$ for an entire deck!

[@CardmarketMagic]

The issue with penny is that it's just a MTGO format. As soon as you put it in paper, it breaks down (as the value of paper cards goes up the more they are bought). As we only do paper content, it's not really a format we'd like to encourage. It's really fun on MTGO though :)

[@WAXWANE]

“It’s Midnight Watch” The confidence. The diction.

[@Lucostaa]

Best format ever, luv from Brazil!!!! Especially when WotC is bringing dark times to us now ❤

[@burntdnd]

I play Midnight Gond in Friday Night Magic Paupers!

[@RedRamDRA]

I already have THE GONG... I only need the Midnight Guard to spice up my commander deck! I love seeing pauper decks, always something fresh to come up.

[@grubgobbler3917]

Sweet games! I think the deck that lost was probably favored, but that's just the game sometimes! Also always fun seeing how janky mana bases can be in this format, it really hurts to run more than 2 colors!

[@Malao558]

Some Careful Studies might do that ooze deck good, to avoid more games where they brick on their many copies of Slime Against Humanity without drawing the right number of lands. It even puts extra oozes in the graveyard to make the tokens bigger!

[@Suichimo]

17:37 Damn, I thought Carl threw the game back at 15:22 but he managed to snag that game from the jaws of defeat.

[@lzan4gi]

Guys please please please could you share the music you use in the video background??? Especially the first one (orchestral ambience music... I love it around 1:43)

[@allpissedup229]

Take a shot every time you hear Carl flicking his sleeves

[@NoName-w4j3t]

I haven't played pauper for years. I had an awesome Kiln Fiend deck that got slightly less effective with Probe restriction.

[@MrSuperdude6]

31:50 Wouldn't it have made more sense to play the Impulse before Presence to look for a Pyroblast in case Thoralf had Counterspell?

[@CardmarketMagic]

Impulse is an instant 👍

Very nice gameplay. Thank you for these series on pauper format. Will you publish decklists? 😁😁😁 Best regards.

[@axelschneider8300]

Pauper content = best Content

[@mattarnold8629]

Love the pauper content! One of my favorite formats as a broke boy

[@cskludt]

That was one majestic land! 😂😂😂

[@TheMichaelArmando]

Love the content, but especially love the Pauper content keep it up! 😊

[@doroh2328]

Yessss more Pauper content please!

[@kaene7219]

You have mentioned on the channel that you guys play a lot of cube in the office. I would love to see a long form cube video at some point.

[@dks6515]

Great video, love the Pauper videos!

[@CardmarketMagic]

So do we :) and thanks!

[@MrABK108]

I'd like to see you play my old MonoG ponza deck, to see if it still works! I once got an Ulamog's crusher down on T3!😊

[@gaelsortino6033]

13:36 that laugh xD

[@war2theren227]

It's just so funny seeing Thoralf with an entire hand full of Slime Against Humanity. He did not have the heart of the cards

[@apple_444loki7]

I would love for you guys to play one of my modern aggro infect decks. One budget, one expensive.

[@njimthecat4918]

I just played a pauper ooze deck about 4 hours ago, so this came at a perfect time. Mine was way more of a joke deck though, 30 slimes against humanity and mono green.

[@DefCatofficial]

holy shit these decks look so much fun

[@seasonedrice69]

kinda wild how thoralf is cosplaying the guy from the mental note art (art visible at 19:36)

[@thehalf-dane4907]

GUARD OF GOND, GUARD OF GOND, GUARD OF GOND!!!!!

[@anoobindisguise4337]

Damn if hand full of 3 mana creatures doesn't feel bad lol. I'd probably just play sprout swarm myself. But that's a card I've never heard of in Pauper so cool!

[@tzaandor]

"I've been doing so much and I feel like we're not getting anywhere" is exactly how it feels to play Tortured Existence (i.e. the best/worst deck in pauper)

[@XTimTheEnchanterX]

That first game was great, i didnt see that comeback coming

[@dontworry4529]

Yay I missed feature matches!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@retrofuturistic1]

Loved this battle guys! Small nitpick listening in the car the music was a little too loud in the mix imo. Just a touch, I want to hear magic not music. And think you should throw in a link to the deck lists, which you may have shown on screen but I'm listening and would be nice to check that out later. Anyways keep up the great videos, best mtg content on KZbin. ❤

[@CardmarketMagic]

We put the link to the decklists in the pinned comment and description now :) thanks for the feedback

[@sikorsky99ew17]

Please make more pauper videos!

[@CardmarketMagic]

We will be launching the Best Pauper Deck Ever series in almost a month :) and we can't wait

[@giornogiovanna5038]

I love your videos that are just simple 1vs1 matches

[@Dreamer-lr6bf]

are you guys going to post the decklists?

[@cameton_youtube]

Those top decks in game 1 were wild xD fun game!

[@andsocanu]

If you shipped to the US, I'd buy every single I could from you to support these videos.

[@ELFudgeOreos]

That first game was incredible

[@animalchin5082]

Hell yeah. I was playing selesnya soul sisters with midnight gond combo yeaaars ago on MTGO.

[@mystegune2039]

i love pauper video

[@andrewp6738]

Been needing Cardmarket 1v1 feature matches like I need water

[@Sigginator1]

Nice love your Pauper vids!

[@jaydenholzhueter6344]

Now I know the slime deck has blue in it but doesn’t 14 lands still seem risky? One minor change would be to take out one mental note and one thought scour for two more lands

[@ianbarbati6236]

Long time viewer ❤ best MTG channel

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoy our videos :) we'll do our best so you like what's coming up as well!

[@beforememory]

Fun video with cool decks!
