NO DAMAGE EVER?! Pauper Mono-White Rhystic Circle Tron. Would you like to pay the one?! MTG

[@BYGPoetry]

BeYourGaard here, first of all thank you for playing the deck! Some points from me and maybe some answers to questions people might have Reprobates are in over journey to nowhere’s because I couldn’t find them before the tourney I brought this deck to and went through my bulk looking for a suitable replacement, (thats where the crib swap and singleton angel song and late to dinner came from as well) just play journeys if you have them I think they’re better The ephemerate density isn’t a hold over like Bosh thought but watching the gameplay I realized a difference in goals I’m always trying to ephemerate the soul unless onboard threats are going to end the game I’ll hold it hoping for the ephemerate. Because greed I didn’t even know that initiative giant was a card! Absolutely going to pick some of those up Thank you for the commentary and constructive feedback Feel free to ask me questions I love this deck and have been playing it every chance I can get I’ve made the cop blue swap myself in paper and cut riftwatchers entirely.

[@edde2429]

Really sweet deck! ❤

[@spyderman312]

“We’re playing Tron so nobody is gonna have more mana than us” * immediately paired into walls Of course they are all defenders, so no worries of losing to combat, but I just thought it was funny the universe being like “oh yea?!”

[@derekcline950]

I'm excited for this one. Monastery Swiftspear was not the reason that Monored is an issue. 8 impulse draw spells that are borderline Legacy playable are the issue.

[@Tehnameless1]

Swiftspear's speed does make for some feel bad non-games though. Impulse draws make the deck more successful but feels fairer Keyword here is "feels"

[@OMGitshimitis]

Yeah I think the aim of the bans was to make the deck feel less swingy rather than to remove it from the format though.

[@Martian_Manhunter]

Making a deck less polarizing in the meta is always the goal of a banning. It's almost never aimed at killing a deck entirely. There's a well written article and video from Gavin talking about exactly what they were thinking when making the decision. And, the impulse draw effects definitely were not the problem with the evidence being that they are not seeing play in the most successful red decks since the banning. Without Swiftspear to feed with them, you just don't want that effect in those numbers. It doesn't serve the same purpose. And, furthermore, being borderline Legacy playable - as you say - doesn't mean a card shouldn't or can't be in Pauper. It is an eternal format and there are plenty of cards legal in Pauper that see, or would see, Legacy play.

[@derekcline950]

@Martian_Manhunter The top red deck on MTG still runs 7 with 4 Synthesizer and 3 Reckless. And that deck list first placed a challenge 11 days ago. I have read that article but generally disagree with Gavin's argument. I understand that they're trying to make the format fun. Swiftspear is polarizing and not fun. Your oppo drawing cards doesnt FEEL as bad as it is. It also gives time for sideboard cards to be drawn. I get it. But I'd much rather see balance over fun and I really think cards like Reckless and Synthesizer are much more powerful than Swiftspear. As far as a card being Legacy power or not... your argument would make sense for meta specific cards, synergies, niche cards, etc. Pure, simple, efficient card draw is something that is (the most?) comparable across formats. *EDIT* Meant MTGGoldfish not MTG

[@mrtuber132]

Your opinion is not supported by data. Theres a few people who spent a lot of time parsing out the W/R with and without MS pre banning. MS was too polarizing for pauper. Thatmillguy has a good summary but id look at the data yourself to see how successful decks are converting challenge wins post ban. Koldotha red is basically the only version consistently winning and its not because it plays long games. Tl;dr 8 copies of reckless impulse is not why burn is still doing well.

[@gersoncoelho]

Lovely deck, gameplay and video! Thank you Brian 🙏🏼

[@dimensionalineage]

What fun! Enjoyed this vid. 20:36 You could Tithe it by popping the Star for white mana paying for it with either of your two untapped tron lands? If the sensation of sneezing is equivalent to 1/8 of an orgasm, then attacking with an Ulamog’s Crusher and resolving an annihilation trigger is handily 1/6. I audibly cheered and gesticulated when that unfolded. I *love* its presence in this deck and hella dig this style of deck as well, reminiscent of my largely defensive mono white control deck in Modern built around Near Death Experience. Neat extended wrap-up at end. Very cool. Tron lands desire additional mechanics of assembling them beyond the Map’s and a few Star’s. Too much upside to spare redundancy there.

[@bnayetr6406]

This deck feels like it could have used a coyote eagles of the north. Helps with double white costs, and is a good target for late to dinner.

[@graefx]

The deck tech at the end was great and definitely leaned more into what my first reactions were. I might have to try it out now

[@johna8670]

I think this deck needs Coalition Honor guard. It's basically a pauper hatebear and tron can easily play it

[@fel_95]

Yup, very good against decks like Walls Combo and Caw Gates

[@Prograde]

I think a white signet would be better than the current 2 mana rock - it still adds mana while filtering, and the only downside is you can't turn W into WW which seems pretty negligible

[@WobegonEffect]

If we're fogging out, why not run the initiative equipment?

[@stefanmesa]

The amount of times I've gotten a combat blow out because Tuktuk has reach is insane. That card should not have reach but damn do I love it

[@musicjax]

always a great day when BoshNRoll uploads a Pauper video

[@vijaywestbroek7861]

Im not against it but it needs some BoshNRoll tuning. I will await 2.0

[@LoaphMeat]

Missed pauper content. Stoked!

[@st33pestasc3nt]

4 Eagles of the North seems good here. Filter colorless into Plains, allowing you to run fewer Plains and more flying threats to end games.

[@Martian_Manhunter]

When you said you wanted to be doing Prophetic Prism, which is banned, had you considered Energy Refractor for that effect? It cuts your mana in half when you use it, but it doesn't tap down to filter and does draw a card on ETB.

[@mayonaise000]

That was my first thought, then I checked to see when the video was made. I have no idea why lens was in the deck layout. xD

[@CharlotteMimic]

This deck was sweet! I'm surprised to see Repropation over Journey to Nowhere. What am I not thinking of?

[@petrie911]

Reprobation won't retrigger ETB abilities when removed. Not sure how important that is.

[@lancergt1000]

i wonder if splashing green for Sprout Swarm and Spore Frog would make sense, Sprout Swarm especially will get out of hand fast with enough mana

[@AaronRotenberg]

55:50 If you ever think it's unrealistic for the villain to stand there monologuing...

[@nickbianchini3967]

Yay! More Pauper content!

[@dojopar6574]

In the second game vs walls in match 1 they had infinite mana but nothing to spend it on so they would have needed to find something like a valakut invoker or secret passage before they could actually kill you.

[@johnfanjoy3469]

46:26 after you Crib Swap this guy, he's a Coward again!

[@alessandroliafooksantos7425]

The deck looks great! Why do not include goliath paladin in the list?

[@BYGPoetry]

I didn’t know it existed before watching this video

[@micah3030]

I feel like a utility land is pretty important and not too hard to slot in.

[@sheepy403]

What utility land would you suggest? Pickings are pretty slim in Pauper.

[@tryndameregaming7387]

@@sheepy403 Only thing I found somewhat usefull would be the white taplands. either the cascade or the tap and sac to draw. Cant imagine slothing in more colorless lands

[@edde2429]

Could have one with cycling to cycle one of your maps for 4-5 mana

[@JamesELLYale]

@@sheepy403 Haunted Fengraf and Captivating Cave are common options among Tron lists. Fengraf is better if your threats are better, but I'm 100% sure that one Fengraf is correct in this list.

[@kiDchemical]

This was a rollercoaster ride of a pauper league 😅

[@ejbock5b179]

Grixis into a pauper video, was this week planned for me ?

[@benlittle5543]

I fucking love this deck. My buddy had it in his half of our pauper gauntlet way back

[@274pacific]

Part 2 with the fixed list???

[@jakehr3]

Isn't there a MTGO hotkey to press no rather than clicking?

[@Niniju8970]

If at any point they crafted one of their knives in game one of round 3, you were inexorably dead lol.

[@JustCallMeJick]

Pretty sure you can rclick on the circle trigger and say "always say no" to never pay the 1

[@marcoceccarelli5083]

Pauper yeah

[@proxidize5738]

Love the pauper content

[@incommunicado_o]

you should try a league of pauper ephemerate tron ! I think it would suit you, it's totally your style of deck

[@lugvantrug5967]

Not bringing in the Circle of Protection Blue vs Terror must be a MIstake, right?

[@lugvantrug5967]

Ok nevermind its Problack.i was looking at the Final Decklist on Moxfield

[@RumpledNutskin]

I will always click on a pauper video from Mr. Covall himself

[@daneofdanger]

Fucking Sunlance? Damn

[@jacklatorre4167]

This is sick

[@bricknolty5478]

When the trash fort has Reach, but a bow wielding, skyscraper sized, God of the Hunt doesn't 😭😭

[@superpepo98]

MORE PAUPER!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Mac9k5]

YEAH DUDE! PAUPER!!!

[@maxreis9534]

this tron build is so weird. I would add blue to play more card advantage and counterspells. Mana Tithe is fun but this deck prolongs the game and mana tithe will only do something in the first 4 turns. Introducing the monarch/innitiative in this deck seems very sus. Its only good if the deck already has the ultra fogs going but if not the opponent can take the card advantage from this deck and overwhelm tron in card advantage which is very bad for tron. Some Mulldrifter would be a nic fit in this deck.

[@permabanter7770]

Disappointing to hear you don't want to make people run down their clocks when I'm sitting here hoping someone forgets a rhystic circle trigger on the stack for 20 minutes

[@ethanpowell6069]

PAUPER!!!!!

[@TheGingervit1s]

Deck might be cheesy, but mono red deserves all the cheese. Swiftspear wasn't enough sadly

[@ubertuna1]

That vigilance creature that makes you the monarch, would be good here
