MADE IT! I Got to the Top 8 in the MTG Pauper Challenge with UW Familiars!

[@michaelcarpenter1293]

Congrats on the top 8! Thanks for the video. I like how you edit all the waiting parts out so your videos are like nonstop quick action.

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks! And yeah I feel like that just makes it so much more consumable

[@stefanmesa]

Game 2 in round 1 was easily the weirdest game against burn i have ever seen! WHAT WAS IN THEIR HAND

[@kalikaiz]

I'll take the win for real

[@gnutscha]

you are an absolute boss to edit out every thinking time of your opponnents

[@kalikaiz]

Having the edits is just so amazing. I can't watch regular magic now haha

[@maxwornowizki422]

Congratulations on the result! In the last match, you mentioned that goblin combo can't deal with infinite life gain. That confused me, since I would expect them to make infinite mana and then munitions the goblin infinite times. What am I missing?

[@kalikaiz]

well on mtgo i would expect they would time out before i do

[@maxwornowizki422]

@@kalikaiz Ah, true. I still forget that live and mtgo are somewhat different games. Thanks for taking the time to respond and have a great day!

[@compressedzipfolder7089]

That was a really unfortunate crash. Congrats on the top-8 though!

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks! wish we could have made a definitive run but got lucky and recovered :)

[@arcaneous1]

Audio was only in the left ear, but the gameplay was dank. Edit: Oh wait, it was just kinda' muffled in the right ear weirdly enough. Not on my end 'cause the Twitch streams I'm watching are fine. :o

[@kalikaiz]

Yes I noticed that too. Unsure what happened. I've been verifying the channels are working but obs keeps freaking out for some reason and loading badly

[@arcaneous1]

@@kalikaiz It's all good. It's not too distracting. I only noticed it when I put on a good pair of headphones.

[@ericharris1499]

Bro, love playing against birb-boi, main-decking drowns, or justice, depending on the deck

[@kalikaiz]

Yeah black decks got them sweepers going well!

[@retrograpejuice]

Damn! nice clock management in round 4. It's amazing all the tricks that can be used to "play" with that constraint. Very frustrating that the outcome was due to a bad software rather than a misplay :(

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks. I ended up being able to make my machine run faster so hopefully it won't happen again!

[@oraitheflame]

Hey dude! Congrats...have u ever tried the winner's version of Geddon? The one with 2 Merchant Scroll...a video with that list could be awesome!

[@kalikaiz]

I tried it a couple of times but I didn't like how it played for me so idk. I guess I can try

[@dangomushi58]

Congrats man :)

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks!

[@thygamerguy]

Yo grats on the top 8! I feel bad for the bm on that match 😅 sweet brew! What made you go UW instead of the traditional RWU?

[@kalikaiz]

Haha this deck has been established a very long time! It's similar to jeskai ephemerate but uses flicker and familiars to do wild stuff. Thanks for the congrats! It's alright i am over the GG haha

[@thygamerguy]

@@kalikaiz understood! Im an old returner of the format. Keep up the quality content!

[@DrSiddha]

Nice showcase. Do you think familiars is a good counter to glitter? Do you think other decks can deal with it better? I'm just sick to being one shotted

[@kalikaiz]

Boros glitter is definitely an underdog to fams. I think UW usually beats fams. Jeskai usually loses to fams

[@oblobear2093]

Nice!

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks!

[@devan9197]

LETS GOOO

[@tmbtor]

nice dude

[@kalikaiz]

thanks!

[@CianWolffensperger]

In round 3 game 1 you decided not to counter the murmuring mystic, because you said it wasn't relevant enough. You lost that game because they had 10+ birds because of the mystic though. I would always see the mystic as very relevant and a must couner since it just takes over the game if the deck is running regularly. Why did you decide not to counter?

[@kalikaiz]

I find that the game comes down to who has the ephemerate lock first. And I don't think that a few birds here or there will be the difference maker

[@horvathsogranfume658]

i comment

[@kalikaiz]

Appreciated!

[@brunodomingues7548]

you have to file an appeal against the mol, imagine losing to that garbage fo Caw Gates horrible deck because of the connection dropping

[@kalikaiz]

Yeah that was crazy frustrating
