DECKS OF THE WEEK! Pauper metagame analysis and spicy decklist from Magic Online!

[@jorgebleyer8108]

I think pauper is not that hot right now, because there are a lot more ppl playing modern. While modern was in the one ring hole a lot of content creators migrates to pauper, like mengucci

[@kalikaiz]

maybe!

[@gnezlukc]

Mengu has always been a pauper fanatic though.

[@Vulpix64]

Well, it's probably fine to switch format sometimes and modern is the "new" hot thing I actually prefer pauper gameplay anyway

[@repinuj]

I know I just built a modern deck too but pauper is still my main format

[@kalikaiz]

@repinuj I keep getting suckered into trying new formats but all I like is pauper haha

[@AndrewSobiesiak]

That golgari sac deck looks fun

[@kalikaiz]

@@AndrewSobiesiak for sure!

[@GianmarcoBina]

Hi kalikaiz! Im GianB52! I do liked the steelfin way, and super enjoy the league with affinity combo with some oppo surprised. I also used helix like a multiple removed like snap. Hope you improve the deck 😂

[@kalikaiz]

@@GianmarcoBina pretty cool! Thanks for letting me know!

[@Aaragoorn]

woo ponza on the board baybee

[@kalikaiz]

i knew you would be excited lol

WE’RE SO BACK

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks for coming!

[@eric.ingram]

Have you locked in what you're playing for the Upstate Pauper Open?!

[@kalikaiz]

I'm hoping the pfp will make sweeping bans and let me play fams XD

[@maxwelledison03]

When is that again?

[@kalikaiz]

@@maxwelledison03 March 1!

[@eric.ingram]

@@kalikaiz hahahaha so affinity then

[@kalikaiz]

@eric.ingram I am partial to my June glee list tbh

[@JoeArog14]

Question: where do you get the data from? (Is there an API from MTGO to download these?). Thanks for the video!

[@kalikaiz]

Mtgo posts these to their site and mtggoldfish scrapes that and does some compilation and naming. I manually look through them on goldfish

[@JoeArog14]

@@kalikaiz Thank you!

[@kalikaiz]

@JoeArog14 you're welcome!

[@hugovallssabater4998]

I feel like glee isnt apropiate for the format , it just feels so miserable to play against , are there any scheduled bans or announcements for pauper ? everytime i queue into a glee gamer even if i win it feels so bad, its just hoping they dont have it all the match.

[@kalikaiz]

there are no scheduled bans or even scheduled check ins. It really sucks

[@ValerieEnriquez]

Hee. Steelfin whale! I had so wanted to make it work with Etherium Spinner, but that is way too slow. Reckless Fireweaver seems so much more efficient. I also really wanted to make it work with Hard Evidence (you get two tokens for one mana!), but Blood Fountain just has that much more utility.

[@kalikaiz]

yeah fountain is a real powerhouse for on board affinity

[@albertorozco3652]

How do people feel about neckdecking ? There are so many I want to try and play. 😂

[@kalikaiz]

@@albertorozco3652 nobody cares if you copy a list any more :)

[@albertorozco3652]

@kalikaiz Yes!!! 😁😁

[@josehinostrozavasque]

Hey Kali, have you try mtgo post-patch? Cards look awful in-game, I was drafting Innistrad and couldn't read the cards.

[@kalikaiz]

@@josehinostrozavasque yeah I'm not really a fan of the UI changes

[@oblobear2093]

This is the only news i watch nowadays.😅

Some GB Gardens appearing again

[@kalikaiz]

yeah they are on the rise kinda

[@marcogarciamurciano1150]

In my city's meta is a very present deck, its the format cops in my opinión

[@maxwelledison03]

Meta is not healthy. I personally want to play Fams unashamedly.

[@kalikaiz]

you both win!

[@thegeorgekarabanov3821]

@@kalikaiz I'm not an experienced magic player. What do you think? What do you need to fully understand the deck? How many games do you need to do? Is it necessary to play (for example, affinity) against each deck from the metagame?
