☠️ THIS DECK IS TOXIC ☠️ Poison Storm/Dice Factory - MTG Pauper Infect Combo | Magic: The Gathering

Bryant Cook plays Poison Storm/Pauper Dice Factory in a Pauper League on Magic: The Gathering Online! These matches were played on: 06/03/24
☠️ THIS DECK IS TOXIC ☠️ The Pauper Poison Storm deck is a unique and innovative strategy that combines the infect mechanic with storm-based win conditions to overwhelm opponents. Central to this deck are the cards that proliferate and increase poison counters, such as Prologue to Phyresis, Infectious Inquiry, and Experimental Augury. These cards work in tandem to quickly raise the number of poison counters on your opponent, aiming for the critical number of ten to win the game. The deck also includes mana acceleration with Pentad Prism, Lotus Petal, Everflowing Chalice, and the depletion lands (Saprazzan Skerry, Peat Bog, Hickory Woodlot) to cast multiple spells in a single turn, generating a storm count to fuel cards like Weather the Storm for life gain and survivability.
Supporting this core strategy are draw and proliferate spells such as Vivisurgeon's Insight, Contentious Plan, Steady Progress, and Lórien Revealed to maintain card advantage and consistency. The sideboard enhances the deck's flexibility, featuring cards like Faerie Macabre for graveyard hate, Bring the Ending for counterspell capability, and Serrated Arrows for creature removal. With Breath Weapon providing additional board control, this deck is well-equipped to handle a variety of matchups, making it a potent choice in the Pauper format.

This is definitely one of those pauper decks where if you described the game plan to someone unfamiliar with the format they wouldn't think it was that powerful. You get so much card advantage though that it's actually pretty nuts just how consistent it kills.

[@TheEPICStorm]

Virtual card advantage as well since creature removal is dead

[@kalikaiz]

Very fun to watch that final turn m4

[@TheEPICStorm]

[@jacklatorre4167]

Totally missed that you get to level up your depletion lands in the intro. Cool to see in action! sweet deck

[@TheEPICStorm]

Big agree!

[@TonyScapone]

Don't forget you can proliferate OP's creatures once you put a serrated arrows counter on them😎 I came super close to playing a sandstone needle too. Ive actually been testing a couple simian spirit guide too. And ive liked muddle the mixture over some sb counters. I also play 2 extra prologue in sb. Counterspell decks sometimes target our infect cards.

[@TheEPICStorm]

I did know this, did I miss it in the video? I saw the highlighted possibility several times throughout but they were +1/+1 counters. Yeah, I like the idea of Needle. I’m not so sure about Spirit Guide. Muddle is a fine inclusion in my opinion but I would want to keep Bring the Ending. That card over performed.

[@TonyScapone]

Yes. When you were using serrated arrows you were then proliferating and not adding -1/-1 counters. Easy to miss but it's busyed!

[@thejesteramongfools]

This is my favorite pauper deck, and I even made a version in modern and recently a legacy (wip) deck to include Radstorm! talk about poison in 1 turn haha

[@TheEPICStorm]

Nice!

[@TheNoblestMan]

If I'm not misunderstanding, you missed a really sweet interaction in your matches against Goblin Combo! Your instant speed proliferates break up the combo, because you can proliferate the -1/-1 counter on Putrid Goblin in response to the First Day of Class trigger! Still, this was a blast to watch!

[@TheEPICStorm]

Oh thats nice

[@EspenOset]

I bught the deck and played a league.Faced a lot of refurbished familiars, and deep analysis was great against those!

[@TheEPICStorm]

True! This was recorded pre-MH3 for what its worth

[@lukemortensen801]

Awesome!

[@TheEPICStorm]

Glad you think so!

[@quakins6814]

What a deck!

[@TheEPICStorm]

[@Garymaster4321]

that second game in round 3 was quite something haha Your opponent scooping early and you missing one poison proliferate at 40:50, just to cumulate in a very close ending

[@TheEPICStorm]

[@kyojin7750]

The faeries match up is definitely where you bring in Serrated Arrows. Even Augurs won't survive the proliferate, it locks them out of the board.

[@TheEPICStorm]

I know that now

[@kalikaiz]

Several of just me 😂

[@TheEPICStorm]

I saw a lot of other names when making my list!

[@ary31415]

Super cool to see proliferate in a 60 card deck

[@TheEPICStorm]

It really is!

[@micahemerson388]

I’ve played this deck a lot and I can say that it is a slow win con, you have to focus on being resilient. It’s very easy to misjudge a situation and end up not being quick enough or no sequencing cards correctly and end up whiffing. It’s fun, but it’s not easy lol

[@TheEPICStorm]

Keep stormin'

cardmarket also played the same deck :)

[@TheEPICStorm]

cool

[@music00soba]

i think the reason a lot of lists run five is because many of those players are playing the deck closer to a control deck than a combo deck. stuff like weather and serrated arrows just read like control pieces in here

[@TheEPICStorm]

Maybe!

[@Clemsonalumnus]

It’s founder (meaning to sink like a foundering ship), not flounder. To flounder means to flail, to founder means to sink.

[@TheEPICStorm]

I believe I meant as in to flail?

[@Clemsonalumnus]

@@TheEPICStorm So it was literally splashing about like a flounder? Not going down quickly like a foundering ship? Sorry, this is one of my largest pet peeves.

[@TheEPICStorm]

[@WilhelmScreamer]

Is there any merit in turning one island into a duel for the sake of lorien revealed?

[@TheEPICStorm]

I don’t think so, untapped mana is so huge and another tap land isn’t what this deck needs I think. It’s not an awful idea, but it won’t be as useful in practice I believe.

[@celestialTangle]

Between Chalice and the depletion lands, this deck looks _hard_ to play over the board

[@TheEPICStorm]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@bertrambauer7357]

Round 4 game 2 you missed a proliferate at 40:45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f57SiKGlm9drfNUsi=kYuriCAB8YpL_2d6&t=2445, so they might have scooped bc of that? Also, round 2 game 1, why not weather the storm? If they can cast their deck, don't you outgain them? Or is it bc of makeshift munitions?

[@TheEPICStorm]

Maybe! The combo can deal actual infinite damage without casting infinite spells.
