We Play Your Budget Decks at an Actual Magic Tournament

[@CardmarketMagic]

Decks featured in this video: bit.ly/4cHEvO6

[@RiKSh4w]

About 3 months ago you asked people to send in budget modern decklists. I can't see anywhere that a video was ever made with these decklists. Was the idea canned in the face of the banning of footfalls?

[@CardmarketMagic]

@RiKSh4w I don't know which budget modern deck request you are referring to, if it's the one two months ago, it was for this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5vVZ5-rrMRlepo And if it was the request 5 months ago, it was for this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5LUpox5rJKmgpI

[@steelmyr1485]

Did you make this video for children why does it play like a Dora the explorer episode

[@steelmyr1485]

Mtg is played by middle aged men why are you making content for kids

[@Xaxzorn]

@@steelmyr1485 why are you watching it then

[@BojukaPod]

Thanks guys for the support! It was a pleasure meeting you and recording the podcast! Next time we'll challenge you to a real cardboard battle, be prepared! 💀🎙

[@brandonguth7033]

Best podcast name ever lol

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thank you for bring such great Italian hosts in Lecco! 👌 Hopefully people enjoy the podcast we made together :D the intro is an audio-medium masterpiece

[@jaimeekimberley8146]

Okay but using bellsprouts as your plant tokens is iconic

[@andrewdevita629]

Summoned Skull too, that guy had life figured out.

[@JakkHorwikk]

Oh fuck that's SO good

[@devonhalford5522]

I collected Pokémon cards as a kid before I played magic so when I first got into the game instead of buying tokens I just used my stack of fittingly themed Pokémon cards

[@bardunshield]

My friend bought me Bulbasaur tokens off Etsy to use. They're adorable.

[@MrBurrito]

I use Golem pokemon cards for golem tokens.

[@petermoglia]

"Here's the thing: I love Turbofog." My genuine reaction: "What is the *matter* with you?!"

[@Netro1992]

We just like playing magic a lot :)

[@DeadlyGrim]

So, you've got Spike, Timmy, and Johnny -- different ways of getting fun from a game. However, there's other ways of getting fun. Based on my experience, there's also fun vampires. They get their fun by suckin' fun out of other people. Not (always) to the point of making other people tilt, but at least to the point where their opponent will give a weary sigh and say -- half annoyed, half wanting to laugh -- "Well ... that certainly was a game." Turbofog is for fun vampires.

[@tymenvanessen3119]

@@DeadlyGrim that is a pretty good description of what i like about mass land destruction, stax, turbofog and group hug/slug

[@krystallinekris]

@@DeadlyGrim What about the counterspell everything strategies? I find that even more weary, personally.

[@pallingtontheshrike6374]

not worse than lantern control lol

[@MenloMarseilles]

I had never heard of Cyclestorm before this video but it's love at first sight TBH. What a ridiculous gameplan! It's beautiful!

[@king.eternal5980]

For real. Never cared to try pauper but that cyclestorm is super cool.

[@olafthemoose9413]

Songs of the damned onehelluvadrug

[@trashman6829]

cyclestorm is my second favourite deck behind blue tempo, its such a blast

[@spencerstanley4759]

There is a ton of amazing and complex lines. For example, Reaping The Graves, as all storm spells do, makes individual copies. While storming off, you cycle each card you get back immediately after each individual storm trigger resolves. This is to keep the amount of creatures in graveyard maximized so you can songs of the damned for your fullest amount. Exhume + repository Skaab makes the deck be able to generate quite literally 50-100 mana near the end of the combo to guarantee the win. If you mill out in the deck, you still win by cycling. You put stingers on the board, then start loop: cycle card, get stinger triggers, resolve stinger triggers but before you draw from your empty library, cycle another card. Resolve more stinger triggers, cycle another, rinse and repeat. Win with multiple death triggers on the stack lol. It's complex and incredible.

[@xddddddddddddd]

caleb gannon has a series for it a awhile ago if you want to check on it

[@muditjohar5323]

The fact that Carl had the option of a draw and potentially qualifying is awesome

[@lars_rosenberg]

He had to win to qualify, a draw wasn't enough, that's why he went all-in in the last turn.

[@fel_95]

a Draw wouldn't have cut it, he needed 15 points for day 2, 4-1-1 was short of So trying to win instead of making both players lose Day2 was the correct and ethical move

[@Tharkon]

And if it wasn't for that dumb timer he would have won, unless Fabio had a third Pyroblast.

[@ReegalP]

“We play randomly selected decks” *Carl playing Turbofog* *Thoralf on Tron* Sure… random

[@Aaackermann]

Well, they said, that the decks were randomly selected, but they had the possibility to choose who plays which deck.

[@jefl3228]

Well we knew who we were sending the decks to. There was probably a LOT of Turbofog and Tron

[@jeffbezos4352]

@@Aaackermann Also possible they randomly selected a pool of decks and hand-picked from there, as Thoralf seems to imply at 2:11

[@Aaackermann]

@@jeffbezos4352 Thats what I wanted to say. Maybe my english is flawed, sorry.

[@CardmarketMagic]

We randomly selected decks from what was submitted, but then picked who got to play each of the 3 decks :) there was an unimaginable amount of Fog and Tron decks submitted though, of various weirdness and power levels :P

[@vell__]

The cyclestorm deck looked so cool, shame it ends up being fragile to so many sideboard cards in the format.

[@trollschmiede]

Ok now i want an actual "Cycle Fog" Remix Song

[@thejimshep2503]

This is an incredibly entertaining format. Less serious and very entertaining. It feels like you guys are doing TV level production with this one. Not a format i would enjoy all the time, but its great for what you guys are doing in the vid.

[@Bomsanchu]

15:28 best moment of the whole video, i would even call it top tier cinematography. thoralf sitting still while all the people are moving around looks very cool and i am honest i had a laugh at it as it looked funny still XD

[@awesomeguy5451]

yesss, cycle storm, my favorite pauper deck, on cardmarket!

[@Lumpalooza]

Amazing how Devin was able to storm off even while landlocked. Awesome games!

[@gakk8658]

That ending was funny. Nice job with all the wins, Carl!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thanks :)

[@NeostormXLMAX]

@@CardmarketMagicdidnt all that glitters get banned in pauper after this?

[@CardmarketMagic]

@@NeostormXLMAX yes, we explain it in the video :)

[@JudgeAnnibal]

It's finally out! I was so hyped for this ever since i met you at that Geddon, thank you so much for the kindness and interactions at the tournament!

[@lottasha]

Holy moly that cycling deck is cool

[@mordamen]

Hahahahaha. So gooood! And that ending bit was just golden

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Now that is an exciting tournament report. It brings back so many great memories from the grand prix. The cycle - fog song in the end is a nice touch.

[@kitto1953]

I am the guy playing White Wheenie vs Carl on the second round. It was a pleasure getting to know you guys! Even though I immediately knew I was going to lose as he played the first green/blue land 😂😂

[@theDJOcho]

Great video! Love to see pauper action and I'm genuinely impressed we were able to follow three people's stories through 6+ rounds, learning their decks and some of their opponents along the way, all in under half an hour.

[@SeleenShadowpaw]

Toffel and carl just fill me with joy. Both in their respective unique ways. Thanks for sharing :D

[@DavidF485]

I love that people have finally woken up to using a variety of tokens. At an FNM many years ago, I wanted to use a Starry Scorchio I got in a Happy Meal as the token for Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang, and my opponent complained that the Neopets text was "too distracting".

[@scottgerk7627]

So happy to see Karl running it back with 8-peace. My favourite pauper deck for years has changed so much and i will love it forever. ❤

[@ImStockton.]

Insanely good editing. This is some high quality stuff guys!

[@g.thomasesmay4974]

These videos of the Cardmarket crew “out in the wild” with viewer-submitted decks are so fun (and look like a lot of work to make). In the future, would like to see a little less crosscutting in the middle of a match just to make it a little easier to follow. But would love to see more videos like this!

[@Yammenkow]

Carl, I see your St. Viateur Bagel shirt under that cardagan, even with just one of his eyes poking out! I'm literally drinking from a coffee mug with the same logo on it as I watch this and I did a double take.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I see you also enjoy good montreal bagels 😎🥯

[@felixzahner495]

One of my best commander friends, which I know since started playing in 2015 is into pauper for a year now. He asked me to join pauper. After watching this I consider.

[@byrontheusurper6505]

All that glitters looks mad fun, that card would go crazy in my eriette the beguiler deck!

[@YoonnsAvec2N]

21:15 please tell thoralf how to pronounce fog 😭😭

[@idanbhk3875]

He doesn't give a fog

[@Mefusio]

Again thank you Guys for rhe great Video ! Such a great Work and u feel the Love with that IT IS Made !

[@g1sbi]

It was a blast to meet you guys, glad you had fun :)

[@nsnick199]

Carl, is that a Piet Mondrian sweater? That's dope!

[@kyledawson8336]

It's always a joy, to lay down too sleep and see a card market video was just uploaded 💖 thank you guys 💖

[@Ricardo-zo1ti]

Best outro ever lol

[@ToabyToastbrot]

Someone make a remix of that :D

[@noahmorris1015]

absolutely ADORE pauper content, thank you all so much!!

[@TheCitrusCollective]

Pauper is such a great format - good to see it showcased here

[@Smaxxer]

Simply hilarious cutting and a great video! Keep up the great work! Hope to see you guys in Amsterdam =)

[@HearseCarpool]

i LOVE how happy Carl looks when turbo fog comes up on the screen for the first time. That's a man who loves his archetype

[@jordibottariera29]

Hey! I run a budget magic tournament every month at Bad Moon Cafe, where we play with 25$ and a modern budget list! I love this style of magic, where optimising your deck has several other restrictions! If that's something that might interest you for your series do reach out!

[@moritzbeste7556]

Carl: "We randomly selected decks" Also Carl: *playing turbofog* Thoralf: *playing tron*

[@Trogdorbad]

Oh, that explains why I found a playset of Songs of the Damned at my lgs recently - had no idea it was a Pauper playset, neat

[@austinwilburn1772]

1:44 god dang. A 10/40 in turn 1? That is completely broken.

[@ryantriplett6512]

this gotta be one of the funniest videos you guys have posted but so cool at the same time

[@WAXWANE]

The overdubs of the gameplay audio reminds me of iron chef or MXC in the best way

[@rapid8212]

This is probably my favorite video I've ever seen from a tournament!

[@Lwai.]

damn that was an insane amount of production value, loved it

[@josevinicius9651]

I want to see more of this! kkkkkk Great stuff.

[@Kratosauron0]

YESSSS, THE RETURN OF TURBO FOG I gotta update my Turbo Fog list and jam some Spelltable games

[@MRBOBDOBALINA15]

Please keep this version of the outro for future videos

[@pedroursua6657]

21:18 I loved the reference to Eminem

[@Pieisgood64]

The end card edit was hilarious

[@denissinner4625]

"Mattia plays us a beatiful concert on his invisible piano" killed me :D

Great content guys. Thanks for this. Best regards

[@shivanalteredart]

Hey guys! Play those bolts with honour ❤❤ it was so nice to meet you all! See you in Amsterdam ❤

[@theprojectdaemon]

Tubro Fog and Cycle Storm are some of the only pauper decks I don't have all the cards for and haven't played yet so I think that's why I get excited to see them.

[@RisottoNero-z1w]

Great episode, very fun. Great editing.

[@brickflop9806]

I want a video of Devin and Carl saying "Cycling, Fog" for 10 hours!!

[@OverkillpG]

21:25 echt jetzt Eminem rezitieren???? lol sehr gelungenes Video!

[@Anil_Chrono]

Great video folks! "Mother-hissing snakes on my mother-hissing playmat" is gonna stick with me for a while :D

[@Phished123]

Cyclestorm is such an interesting deck, really complicated to sequence, it takes a lot of thought to play which is why it doesnt get seen often, besides the obvious weakness.

[@tiberiusnod]

I really like how the "fog" "cycle" fits the beat of the credits at the end 😅

[@mymusic2403]

i appreciate the heads up about All That Glitters lol

[@Constrictor_Victor]

9:23 Wasn't expecting to hear the homelands.

[@MopeyN]

15:23 How come nobody mentions the rad SCOUT rucksack? ❤ I hope he has the matching Turnbeutel, too!

[@TheDevlain]

Best outro ever. Fog cycle fog cycle 🎶😎

[@SmotheredByLove]

You guys are going to make me play pauper at this rate ^^

[@XTimTheEnchanterX]

Love these types of videos, great job guys

amazing! fanmade pauper decks played in the world's largest pauper tournament!

I love the bauhaus song at the end!

[@robertjordan8655]

As an Irish person I loved the reference to us hating snakes 😂

[@michaelsinnreich6626]

Carl playing turbofog is an expression of pure joy.

[@argonnas2]

Dayum thoralf Is tiny. So much power in such a small container

[@adrianpawela3357]

Which artist made this monarch token? It's visible at 3:40

[@J-Martijn]

In that flashback shot of Thoralf winning the protour the camera angle makes him seem like he is 1,20m tall.

[@Alvin-wx2ep]

THORALF how was the spaghetti im so jealous

[@MindstabThrull]

Owwwwwww... Last match.. heartbreak city! Man I would have loved to have been there. Italy's a bit far from Canada sadly!

[@thenumberpie314]

It would be so cool if you made a video, maybe in a secondary channel, showing us the full games, kinda like what Mengu did in his channel for that Legacy event.

[@werhsdnas]

Legend has it Devin is still cycling to this day

[@mrpinguimninja]

You guys chosing turbo fog AND cycling storm is the absolute proof that you would see the geneva convention and read it as a checklist

[@brandondrake69]

15:28 Toralf just chilling😂

[@dannyfrenzy]

It has been great to have you here in my beloved Lecco, come again!

[@TLK_simon]

YES CYCLE STORM!!!!! LOVE THIS DECK

[@sethmasters2147]

the song at the end was awesome

[@x1PMac1x]

This was recorded before the All That Glitters ban? I didn't catch the caveat.

[@gohasuka9788]

where do you got that nice dragon eye sleeves :D

[@LordT]

Incredibly fun video! Makes me want to get into pauper! Might go through my collection soon, and filter out some ‘popular’ cards that are in an array of decks! Anyone have a list of cards I should be looking for?

[@bardunshield]

I knew Devin was on Storm when he started cycling. I've played against that deck before and it's pretty good.

[@odoacredacalcutta5085]

lol, winning a pauper deck is certainly the prize of Alessandro's life

[@ReederMG]

Another win for Carl. Let's go!!!

[@nickjoseph77]

Pauper cycling storm instead of zenith flare is hilarious. Lol

[@dave7592]

Monoblack tron was pretty cool. Have to try that next time at my LGS

[@MrPhethean]

When are we going to get more Pauper content with the Cycle Storm guy?

[@tzaandor]

Hell yeah, Gardens! My format favorite ❤

[@ari_cool]

11:57 if storm count is seven that means you create 7 copy’s in addition to the original one, so you can bring back 8 cards not 7

[@bertschumacher2097]

Fun editing style!

[@joeeee8838]

Thank you for telling me all that glitters was banned, I was thinking about getting that deck actually
