That dino into boarding party into hunter was SICK

@@fsolt they brainstormed to set up the Dino into boarding party if I remember correctly - sicK play and sicK deck from our opponent

[@SoopaPop]

Looking forward to watch this recording later, but leaving a comment just to show my appreciation! Izzet and its various tempo-control incarnations are my favorite in the format. UR control won the recent showcase qualifier. The deck is definitely playable post MH3, but it also seems to me that there is something missing, enough so that not one version of the deck is dominant. Personally I wonder if the closely related UR/RUG serpentine curve + fling deck could be built for the current meta.

[@SnapBolt]

@@SoopaPop I love UR too. Thanks for the comment. The only thing is with curve is that it cost 4 mana and terror cost 1 mana. Difficult to justify when the meta is so fast with red decks and combo decks. Still, maybe curve decks could still be solid!

[@benlittle5543]

W00t. Keep hyping the homie

[@SoopaPop]

i was more thinking of a skred control deck that packs 20+ answers to popular decks, a bunch of cantrips, and then the curve+fling combo with the hopes of winning on a 1 shot or 2 shot. a bunch of the meta is combo right now, if you can shut down those decks and then threaten lethal before they trying going for their combo again, i think above 50% winrate is possible

[@CosmicCharles466]

I was pretty pumped when I saw it was you! I've been watching your content for years! I had set up both the hunter and the party btw. The forest was from the ash barrens not the cascade.

[@SnapBolt]

@@CosmicCharles466 sick brew cosmic Charles. You thoroughly smashed me there. GGs!

[@CosmicCharles466]

UR FAE!!! (Always the best deck) Edit: Curfew and Stormbound Geist

[@SnapBolt]

Always the best for sure Sometimes the card names are there, sometimes they aren’t 😅 🧠

[@CloudBorne]

The clock is REAL! XD

[@SnapBolt]

@@CloudBorne part of the game (on magic online)

[@nebDDa]

I really like murmuring mystic in UR faeries nowadays. It provides a fast clock if unanswered and also buys you so much time with an endless stream of blockers

[@SnapBolt]

@@nebDDa yeah, I played a murming mystic deck off stream and was really impressed with that card. Probably is under utilized in pauper

[@hunterhuffman4520]

refurbished familiar seems like it would be really good with ninjas

[@SnapBolt]

@@hunterhuffman4520 yeah, saw some UB Fae ninja lists with it. There’s a lot of room for innovation in that space

[@benlittle5543]

A pauper deck with about half the cards from before fire design. That is about as high as it gets

[@Holden_Prio]

Watching you struggling to remember card names is super funny.

[@SnapBolt]

@@Holden_Prio glad my bad memory is good for something lol I remember all the cards just not their names. I usually can ‘read’ the entire card from memory minus the name

[@Holden_Prio]

@@SnapBolt I'm the same way - card art, set, etc but names can escape me

Gotta love seeing @CosmicCharles popping up in games!

[@devangoad]

Do you think we could get a consistent series on UR fae since it’s your favorite? Id love to watch a progressive series where you fine tune and iterate on your favorite list and spellstutter never goes out of style.

[@SnapBolt]

@@devangoad would love to but probably won’t. Going to play some UR control / terror and then probably play a smattering of other decks

[@devangoad]

@@SnapBolt I gotcha. if its variety you’re aiming for then Id like to ask for some breathless knight brews, they’re pretty spicy imo and I don’t see too many people playing them

[@DonDee123]

Deck is catching dust in my battlebox 😢 ub fae seems better positioned atm?

[@SnapBolt]

@@DonDee123 snuff out is good, yes, but so is pyroblast. Bolt and skred are solid too. Think UR terror / UR control is probably better than Fae

[@DonDee123]

@@SnapBolt what about snuff&snap as free removal to always be up on tempo? Gaining enough ca with ninjas?

[@SnapBolt]

@@DonDee123 yeah, not sure, control plays a few monarch creatures as a way to take over the game.

[@rebelresource]

Dude, you gotta check out Star Wars: Unlimited! I think you would love this game.

[@SnapBolt]

@@rebelresource I’m sure I would like it but I’m too deep in magic and don’t have enough time for more hobbies / tcg’s as much as I would like to

@@SnapBolt I hear ya... I dropped Pauper due to lack of in person play. I wish I could jam online all the time but there is no real competitive play in person for Pauper really.

[@aernieburns8919]

The Jeskai landscape is strictly better than the Grixis one in this build

[@SnapBolt]

@@aernieburns8919 why? Because it makes it look like we could be jeskai ephemerate?

[@SoopaPop]

Bluffing weather the storm or Gurmag seems just as good as bluffing ephemerate to me. saying "strictly" better on a bluffed effect is kinda weird... do you mean you just like the art? lol 😅

[@aernieburns8919]

I was just being obnoxious. If you went with one Grixis, one Jeskia, and One Temur, the deck would be unbeatable

[@DonDee123]

Your voice sounds soar. Everything ok?

[@SnapBolt]

@@DonDee123 all good. Maybe just sore from talking a lot recording lol

[@idiotmartyr]

Kirb had a good run with Izzet Skred recently and his video with this upload of yours have me casting some sidelong glances at my UR Fae deck sitting politely in its box behind me.

[@SnapBolt]

@@idiotmartyr yeah, UR decks seem well positioned against Gleezard and can hang with lots of other strategies. Think I’d rather play UR terror though

[@idiotmartyr]

Over Fae? I haven’t wanted to play actual Fae in a while. The fact that a low CMC tempo-control strategy akin to Legacy Delver is a viable approach to Pauper is very enticing to me. Who doesn’t love a pile of red removal and blue permission spells with only an endgame threat or two!
