STABLE AND POWERFUL! The MTG Pauper league meta has shaken out and looks balanced and strong!

[@PsychoEkan]

These stable environments is nothing that a Cranial Ram can solve

[@kalikaiz]

Haha nice

[@lucasmartelli4204]

I was awestruck when I saw that card in the spoilers. The first thought in my mind was "didn't we just do this?"

[@corymasterman2070]

I love these analysis type videos and your content overall. Keep it up!

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@garrisoncase2290]

Getting back into pauper, would love to see you with that synthesizer deck!

[@kalikaiz]

Definitely a sweet looking deck

[@xxANBUxx]

Boros Synth is always fun to watch, same with Mardu Synth and the BW Tithing Blade decks!

[@kalikaiz]

It's hard for me as a big combo player to enjoy midrange haha

[@xxANBUxx]

@@kalikaiz Haha I get it! Have you ever tried the Yawgmoth combo deck in Modern? It plays like a midrange value pile but of course has fast combo finish that can come out of nowhere. It feels nice when a combo deck also can win on other axis.

[@kalikaiz]

@@xxANBUxx I haven't tried it. For some reason I'm not into creature combo that much haha

[@Rektwiem]

@kalikaiz, LuffyDoChapeuDePalha means Straw Hat Luffy (a character in an anime called One Piece) in English. Luffy's pronunciation is LOO-FEE.

[@kalikaiz]

Ah finally it clicks. Thanks!

[@CornFlaix]

let's see how MH3 will change the pauper format...i'm a bit scary! :D

[@kalikaiz]

Yeah I'm scared it will just be affinity even more represented tbh

[@vladdogarel263]

I don’t think it will have a big impact outside of affinity. Lizard combo will be good but probably around the same power level as helix combo. Monster tron got some nice pieces but won’t make a big splash. The other established archetypes didn’t get anything major either

[@PhoemaKill]

this dreadmaw kills me in my lgs in brasil, deck mono green is insane brutal kkk

[@kalikaiz]

I'm super surprised tbh!

[@anoobindisguise4337]

hey given how powerful Ancient Stirrings is I wouldn't be surprised if Commune with Dinosaurs was playable too. But I'm guessing it's more of a joke at your opponent's expense, since you destroyed all their lands you can win with a ham sandwich at that point.

[@pimcoenders-with-a-c1725]

@@anoobindisguise4337 The mono green dreadmaw deck didn't run land destruction :)

[@alexscott8799]

What do you think is better overall fae or terror?

[@kalikaiz]

UB fae seems to be performing best overall

[@isabelsprogis]

I like the metagame postban. Hope MH3 won't ruin it while still adding new stuff and decks (like the lizard combo).

[@kalikaiz]

I think mh3 will bust it up but I think only a couple cards will matter tbh

[@Martian_Manhunter]

Once they pre-ban "Cranial Plating, the Second Coming," I don't see MH3 breaking Pauper at all. I think Broodscale combo will be a cool angle, but not too busted, and everything else is just a solid role player.

[@Martian_Manhunter]

You cant be saying stuff like "powerful" and "stable!" If the meta is healthy, how will people complain about Affinity and how broken the meta will still be after they ban all the powerful cards!? This is an outrage!

[@Martian_Manhunter]

Keep in mind this assumes a pre-ban of "Cranial Plating, the Second Coming." But, I don't think any reasonable person can say that that would be ok either way.

[@kalikaiz]

I don't particularly like playing against affinity. I think the game play sucks. But the top decks are powerful and 10% meta share is quite stable from a meta standpoint.
