The Complete History of Magic: the Gathering Pauper Banlist

[@calebmartin1054]

Hey! Original creator/writer of the doc here, thanks for putting this into a video format!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Oh man I was hoping someone would say this! I only ran across the document on reddit but couldn't find the OG creator so let me add you to the credits because you absolutely deserve the credit for this man! You did an absolutely outstanding job laying it out!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Added you to video description as the creator of the google document! Thanks again for putting this out there as a resource for all to use!

[@Holden_Prio]

Loved the video- no other content like this pauper out there. Keep it up and the channel can only continue to grow

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you I really appreciate it, I'm trying to think outside the box and come up with some unique and fresh pauper content. The pool is pretty small for quality non-mtgo pauper content so I'm trying to find my calling in the MTG content world!

[@quantum6637]

No way the “wizards hates affinity” is real right? The deck just keeps being amazing, even with all the bans it’s consistently a fantastic deck. The bans seem very deserved lol

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's an Atog Meme brother

[@PointedStew73]

The video I didn't know about I needed! XD Perfect video as always, keep going with the great work!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I didn't even know I needed to make it till after the live stream this morning. I was like damn, that'd be a cool video to do! So I spent my day off work making it! Glad you enjoyed it mate!

[@omegaduckie]

cool vid! I did laugh when you said "at the time, 22% was almost a 5th of the meta" lol

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Haha my bad 😂

[@matthoward6130]

I think all the Initiative cards need to go to keep it easier. And Sticker Goblin only existing online makes it a real issue.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I think the two remaining Initiative creatures are fine. They give control and decks that focus on ramping into big threats something to ramp towards. The main problem lies with MTGO players forcing WotC hand into making sticker goblin playable online. Paper doesnt have the same issue as online. I think Turbo initiative will die off just like One Land Spy did after a hot minute.

bro astrolabe specifically was more than just skred. i saw it in any deck with ghostly flicker. there was a tron version and a bant version, they were both running stonehorn dignitary to lock you out of combat

[@joseluismckenna1844]

Love the video thanks for the content

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@matthewmagda4971]

There is a lot of chaff here. As this is an Eternal format, there should be the maximum possible number of playabIe cards. I could see Cloudpost, Arcum's Astrolabe, Fall from Favor, High Tide and Hymn to Tourach all off the list.

[@matthoward6130]

So you play Tron and control? Those cards absolutely earned their spots, high tide was way too late even. OnT2 you can eliminate all the lands in someone's hand with Hymn.

[@GhstTwnzFnst]

Sucked losing Prophetic Prism, made Naya Zoo harder to play, and I loved that deck.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Naya Zoo was my jam back in the day! I actually played it in Modern as well way back when!

[@GhstTwnzFnst]

@@GoldLotusPauperMTG I played it for years, losing Bonders, Prophetic, and Aucums killed that deck.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

@@GhstTwnzFnst I feel it brother I used to be big on infect and then taking away two cards hurt!

[@broganson]

I'm sad I missed the arcum's astrolabe meta. It sounded fun to cantrip for 1 mana

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Oh it was awesome, Arcuns Astrolabe was so damn powerful it even was played in the Over Powered Modern deck 8Post

[@mimico4340]

They should unban all the affinity targets and just ban the lands.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

That'd kinda balance it out. Not a terrible idea!

[@eugenemeidinger1884]

Great video, I appreciate having this all in one place. Some of the mouth noises are very mildly distracting, some simple mutes there could help.
