That Distant Melody was brutal. Thoralf already had more lands then he needed to snowball and then just bricked. I felt that to the depths of my ramp loving, drawing the wrong half of my deck soul.

[@GraemeGunn]

But it wasn't the Distant Melody's fault for all the lands, they would have been drawn anyway as the turns went on. It was actually good in a way, it removed those lands from the top of the deck, at least, now Thoralf can draw spells again.

[@piercearora7681]

@@GraemeGunn Still means that his big payoff refuel spell didn't refuel like he needed it to.

[@GraemeGunn]

@@piercearora7681 yeah that's the game

[@sonnilowe8858]

Yeah, so brutal. Especially since it wasn't the wrong |half" of his deck, it was the wrong sixth. Elves runs so few lands, drawing four there was very unlucky.

[@MarkAvo]

Most Pauper Elves lists run what, 14/15 lands?! He drew 9 of those! Bad beats.

[@ichguckegerneyoutube8837]

I love the pauper videos from thoralf and mengu, its always very fun to watch

[@Ex4_]

I love how Andrea gives tips about how to properly play the deck. This really elevates this above "just a gameplay" video and is somewhat educational if you're playing the format yourself.

[@EgXP]

We love Andrea! He's the best! Bring him every week! (Well, every week might be tough, but who knows? If we have a million subscribers, maybe we can afford bringing Andrea back every week, and then we have infinite Pauper Andrea shenanigans. Well...)

[@CardmarketMagic]

That would be wonderful :)

[@beanofknowledge2125]

Pauper is always a good time, especially with the man Andrea Mengucci himself

[@siradzki5905]

Mr. Mengu, Master of Magic ❤

[@fernandoleal489]

5:20 what a brutal draw 4 lands in the deck that must run less then 20 lands

[@AENock]

Pauper Elves run 11-13 lands lol

[@alexssain]

​@@AENockactually not, is about 14-15 but ye, still

[@screamyhawk4004]

@@alexssain Most just run 12 and if you play land grant, run just 8. So @AENock was right ;)

[@rygore14]

We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him back every week!

[@JoeDF]

That's exactly what I was gonna say! How'd you know!? 😉

[@nivnikov]

We love Andrea, but we love Vladimir Bulanov even more!

[@nidunha14]

So happy you guys are back! Been missing the competitive content for the past few weeks. :)

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy we get to scratch that itch :)

[@Nogoatsnoglory]

Pauper videos are what brought me to the channel to begin with. Always more pauper. But honestly, no other YT MTG channel has the quality of play like Cardmarket does. It's so easy to follow games and the commentary has helped so much when watching videos on other formats I have not familiarity with.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoy them :) I put a lot of work into the 1v1 gameplay videos especially

[@DackKija]

Yes! More Pauper AND two new decks for the feature match. Thanks Carl & co!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thank you! For your kind comment :) -C

[@Razomka]

Andrea is an excellent guest, definitely get him in more often! Great to see that the videos are coming back!

[@MrPlow-jc4cr]

*in a high pitched voice* We love Andrea, he's the best! Bring him every week!

[@noahmorris1015]

i'm SO HAPPY to hear that andrea always asks to play pauper, because thats EXactly how i feel! modern and standard is great, and so are the videos with more unusual formats/games- but pauper is always the best in my opinion. (but i really do love all the cardmarket stuff :) )

[@xXYourShadowDaniXx]

Pauper often just feels more like OG magic, less power-creepy cards etc

[@XenoSun]

We love Andrea! He's the best! Bring him back every week!

[@moor532]

17:16 the synchronicity! Love the pauper vids. Also please keep inviting Andrea!

[@ilsignoredellaluce2234]

I'm a simple man. I see Thoralf and Mengu on a thumbnail, i click on it

[@Michael.032]

We love Andrea, he's the best, bring him back every week! (Also great video as usual!)

[@mike-games6281]

These gameplay videos (going all the way back to the beginning) are my absolute favorites ones out there. So much fun to watch. Job well done.

[@B-Ran_the_Man]

Really want to know the odds of drawing 4 straight lands on turn 4 with that distant melody. That was brutal

[@sulevjaaniste5394]

And with a deck that has 13 lands max

[@miyomiyo1050]

About 1 in 1,000. He had already removed 7 nonlands and 4 lands from the deck (hand, board, graveyard). Assuming 14 lands total in the 60 the chance of drawing 4 consecutive lands is (10/49)*(9/48)*(8/47)*(7/46) = 0.0991%.

[@BacchusGames]

Love the 1v1s, y’all are the best at it and it’s my favorite mtg content.

[@CardmarketMagic]

That's so nice to hear :D thank you!

[@SDWFjermex]

We love Andrea, hes the best, bring him back every week!

[@Aaackermann]

[@CardmarketMagic]

It's a wonderful deck :) I maintenant it on mtgo and I heavily recommend it, you have game against anything that isn't combo!

[@ianh1504]

They had choreographed a big fight in the bazaar against the guy waving around the scimitar, but Harrison Ford was sick that day and tired of filming so he did his own choreography

Andrea and Thoralf vibe so well. Pauper content is always fun!

[@maciejszpyra]

It's always a joy to see Mengu as a guest here. Would it be possible to have decklists included in the description?

[@Sillimant_]

7:46 I aolmost expect to him to say "sideboard is going to be quite shallow... because I am taking out all forests" as a joke

[@DrCoolGuy88]

Thoralf and Andrea is my ideal combo for these videos. The speed of play, knowledge, and most of all how much fun they have playing one another. Loved the game 1 galvanic blast and Thoralf shuffling for Andrea to pick at random hahaha

We love Andrea! bring him back every week!

I got to know about Andrea through cardmarket and I love his and your pauper content :D I'm planning on buying the orzhov skyfisher deck that andrea is currently playing and will keep boros as a back up :3

I'm honestly surprised you guys don't already have a million subscribers

[@Matti_Mattsen]

Mengu + cardmarket + pauper = top tier content

[@abuelovinagres4411]

That Distant Melody is so relatable. D:

[@MunetsuguTakeno]

Welcome back, love to see more Andrea. Poor Thoralf at G1 with the forest draw (but the draw next ame was very much highroll). But since I like to be detailist. At 6:58 technically Krark sacriface artifact, that put Ichor on stack(that is mandatory ), then he retain priorit and can (in reaction) sacriface the other one. So stacks resolution goes Draw->1 damage->Draw 1->1 damage and if Andrea wanted he could play something after his first draw or perhaps sacriface artifact if we want to follow stakcs :) not draw 2 then deals 2 damage.:). Its also good to keep in mind in case opponent have say X/1 Y/5 Z/2 and you have 4 artifacts. You can sacriface one, draw first check if you draw Galvanic Blast (so you have metalcraft) and if not sacriface one more to still kill everything but Y/5. It usually doesnt matter especially when there are in fact no reactions, but its not correct. That Boros is also lovely deck must feels very good to play, well builded one. I was always sucker for samurai and Kamigawa block so I gotta say ultilizing brings me joy to watch. It feels incredible consistent. Maybe not the best deck, but consistence is key.

[@SpinAroundU]

We love andrea he's the best! Bring him every week!

We love Andrea he’s the best bring him every week

[@escapistsmusicstuff]

Pauper is my second favourite format starting with P, so I definitely love seeing more content for it!

[@Speedemon559]

Great way to start off the year

[@jtmoney606]

this is just what I needed starting back pauper tourneys again and ive noticed my red burn deck needed some adjusting since my baby swiftspear got banned. GG guys!!

[@JoshBarth-b9o]

4:10 Thoralf activated his trap card, MAGICAL HATS!

[@tatz717]

I mainly watched this to encourage channels to produce some non-Commander content. I always like watching these guys play Pauper too. One comment is that the music is fine, just occasionally overpowering.

[@MarkAvo]

That flooding in elves was brutal!

[@bchap5429]

Great showing by Andrea!

[@BerlitzSama]

4:56. You can see the exact moment Thoralf's soul leaves his body

[@jonathanoutze859]

exicted for the pauper content. would love more of it ;)

[@saltandpauper]

It is indeed my local weekly pauper night. So I will "have a good pauper day"

[@theblakwarior]

Oh yeah! Pauper! Such a fun format to watch.
