The Pauper 1%ers

[@speedyboost_]

The absolute amount of snark in this video is amazing. All 3 pauper players and 2 of them are playing slivers. 😂

[@Lasagnadestroyer]

“I guess I’ll have to make it up to all 3 of you guys” 😂 that was great

[@iqcool]

Good video overall. I do want to add to the Pestilence deck that it heavily relies on Guardian of the Guildpact to break the symmetry; it's a 4 mana 2/3 that has protection from mono-coloured, allowing it to both survive all the activations of pestilence and be a creature on board to keep the pestilence around.

[@TheLuckySpades]

As someone who just started building a pauper slivers deck I'll have you know there are now at least 3 of us! Love the video, I do plan on making enough pauper decks to lend to people so I can get the ball rolling locally and this video will help get some fun rogue inspiration aside from the decks I already knew about from the previous one

[@taylortetra1781]

I'm here buddy, just waiting on the final pauper slivers player now!

[@johndoe6449]

I completely missed Tor-Ex when I was scrolling through and thought that my boy had somehow dipped completely out of the format. Remember to always watch to the end kids, that's where the best things happen.

[@b2e297]

Thank you for leaving this comment so I knew to keep watching for tortex

[@Feeleep8]

Before Cleansing Wildfire was printed, I was playing Petals of Insight based arcane storm. Basically you build your own Lotus Field and play arcane spells splicing Psyhic Puppetry until your land can tap for 6 or 7 mana and then go infinite with Petals-Puppetry netting mana in the process, and then mill oponent with Stream of Thought. My LGS friends didn't want to play with me, so I switched to UR delver

[@Idk-cv4ft]

Sounds fun. Was it any good?

[@BBrecht]

I feel like you did mono-green aggro (AKA Stompy) a real disservice in this video - it was once one of the absolute pillars of the format, and has a heap of interesting play to it. Otherwise great video, you did an awesome job showcasing decks that you won't play every game but are still genuine factors in the format!

In high school I used to battle a kid who ran alpha to then 2005 slivers. It was unbeatable. We didn’t use pauper, so I don’t know it’s viability now too be honest (there were some other OP cards too), but it was brutal.

[@shaneokeigan6150]

Just got into Pauper with my first deck of Rakdos Madness. The meta has changed so much, I would love to see this series remade

[@gersoncoelho]

Tortured =D Brilliant videos mate! Love them and the channel !!! Pauper and Legacy 💙

[@AceMathias]

Fantastic thanks for the thorough follow up covering these niche but very exciting decks. I'd not come across the clerics deck before, so am going to be checking it out. Thanks!

[@pauldaulby260]

Damn, its been like 8 years since i brewed a torchured existance deck when no one else seemed to be playing it. Fun deck, nice to see no one else is still playing it lol

[@colinsickels8013]

This is a great video and I appreciate the effort for my format

[@mcpudd-20k]

Whoa, that first deck takes me back to my home brew modern deck that used Myr Retriever, Alter of the Brood, and Heartless Summoning to infinitely mill my opponent. I gotta play it.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

You built that too? Nice.

[@polishhockeyfan]

Hey just so you know I built my friend a pauper slivers deck for the holidays so theres gotta be at least like 5 of the guys running around at this point

[@superturkle]

great video! im learning as much as i can about pauper format and this helps greatly. i had a bunch of common cards left after selling my collection of rares. my first pauper deck was G/R land destruction using spined wurm as a beatstick. it was unpolished but it regularly beat non-pauper decks, and i was surprised (so were my opponents); i just tried to make the best deck i could using what cards i had left. since then ive been hooked. keep up the good work 👍

[@Sliverandzant943]

An interesting tip about Inside Out is the fact that it can be cast and then you discard to give Tireless Tribe +X/+0 instead of +0/+X. According to rules, when switching power and toughness, effects that would affect a creature's power affect its toughness instead, and vice versa (an example being the card About Face, which specifies just that, but the Oracle text removes that explanation in its entirety, assuming it can be inherently understood when it clearly cannot).

[@MaximumImpactGames]

The Kiln fiend deck is called Hot Dogs btw.

[@renanishikawa7696]

[@lvx969]

Cool decks. I wish most of them were more viable in this current Affinity + RDW meta.

[@lorenzotanzi9851]

Zubera storm? 😂😂😂

[@TheSimmus]

I once made a 5-Color Zubera Storm deck for Pauper It was awful and to this date to worst deck I ever created

[@Ian-qf5ny]

My boy Kiln Fiend!! Edit: oh and then Gary! Man these are all my decks haha Damn and i play white heroic and rakdos burn haha. You still didnt talk about dreadmaw stompy though hahaha

[@Crossark1]

9 months later, Boros synth is 4% of the meta, and the synth/ichor wellspring synergy is in the best Mono-red Burn lists which take up like 15% or more of the meta (at least, they did pre-ban).

[@ShorinRyu74]

one land spy?

[@mistysowards7365]

That deck is so impossible to get right, at least for me. I only tried to do it mono black though. So crazy to use Spy, the one black card you can have unlimited copies of and of course Skirge Familiar!!!

[@elliottreadings8029]

One of those three pauper slivers players here. Where are my mirror match brothers?

[@boycottwarhammer6016]

This video just makes me want to buy more pauper decks I wont get to play irl lmao

[@LiberAustismSchizotica]

Cleric Footing actually would require you to stick the Foot enchantment on to a cleric with Vigilance so neither Daru Spiritualist nor Task Force are ideal for that. Alternatively you could use Inside Out.

[@AmmiO2]

Fun fact: Fully reading and understanding the cards is important before paying to play in a tournament with them, like _someone_* around here did. ... ... ... *(It was me).

[@MTGreat202]

[@mutantcube1737]

Ok, so im looking for help for a list i made for pauper im calling "gruul heroic" You can probably guess the gameplan from the name; get down heroic triggers on creatures, target them with spells to make them big fast, beat face. Here's the list: Creatures: 4x satyr hopilite 3x setessan oathswarn 2x gnarlback rhino 3x monastary swiftspear Spells: 4x snakeskin veil 4x mutagenic growth 3x gaea's gift 3x temur battle rage 2x explosive entry 3x go for blood 4x witch's mark Enchantments: 3x snake umbra Lands: 7x forest 7x mountain 4x rugged highlands 4x racers' ring Sideboard: 4x red elemental blast 3x ram through 1x flaring pain 2x atraxa's fall 3x end the festivities 2x relic of progenitus Now this is my first pauper deck, and my question is what i should do to improve upon it. Ive been considering the following cards: Prey's vengance Ancestral anger Apostle's blessing Prize fight Im not sure what the best sideboard options are, what ratios of protection/creature/evasion/buff i should aim for, or what the most eficient spells are for those jobs, so any input is appreciated, thanks

[@AmmiO2]

You're basically describing a much worse version of Kiln Fiend. Any sort of "heroic" strategy is going to suffer from being blown out by removal and is inherently fragile. Mono White Heroic is already no longer a good deck. The next big problem is that there aren't good Heroic-esque creatures in Gruul aside from Satyr Hoplite, except for Kiln Fiend and its ilk which you are purposefully avoiding. So understand that, if you choose to go down this route, you are prioritizing a pet strategy over competitive viability.

[@mutantcube1737]

@AmmiO2 worth it Edit: to clarify, I'd rather have fun making my own deck than play the same set of existing decks that are supposed to be meta. I do want to make this deck as good as I can, but I'd rather it be original than ultra competitive

[@SoopaPop]

Omg you didn't do a deck overview of mono u delver. The mono u delver community takes this as a personal insult. Ok joking aside, the attention you are giving pauper is great. The format has quite a lot of depth. Seeing individual deep dives per deck like some of your other videos would be great too. The format's best feature historically has been that ability to brew. The reality is that a mediocre deck builder can design a pretty decent pauper deck so long as you stick within the general range of playables. Playing and brewing in pauper is an affordable experience with many skills which translate well into other formats. If someone wants to learn the kind of thinking required to get good a variety of strategies without breaking their bank account, pauper is fantastic place to do it.

[@firesflame221]

Ok, so your got most of the decks between the 2 videos, but your are still missing 1-3 from what I’ve seen. “Poison Storm”, Mono Black Burn, and Golgari Aristocrat Aggro Poison Storm, an archetype still in heavy development, it used the new ONE cards that give poison counters as well as cards that proliferate while drawing cards to stack poison whole drawing into more cards that give poison. And also runs fogs to stop damage. This decks also used Depletion lands, everflowing chalice and Pentad Prism to generate massive amounts of mana. Tends to be Dimir, Sultai or esper. Mono Black burn is a deck that used Cheaply costed black drain spells to burn out the opponent while also gaining life, since it’s life lost not damage it bypasses fog effects in pauper. Golgari Arisocrat aggro: uses free or cheaply coated cheaters to sac into playing large beaters early( bayou Groff, bone pickers) and also runs creatures that comeback after dying)

[@loxeggcheese]

Haven’t heard of the others but MB burn was undefeated at my lgs a few weeks a go.. I mean there’s like 8-12 of us haha but still it was a sweet showing of a deck I had never heard of

[@matthewbenoit3098]

Am I missing something with Cleric Footing? Neither Task Force nor Daru have vigilance. Would solid footing work in this case? Or would the creature need to be granted vigilance by another aura such as Sentinel’s Eyes??

[@AmmiO2]

You either need to give them vigilance or you need another creature (a cleric) with vigilance. It's a 3-4 card combo.
