TROPHY WITH THE BROKEN DECK! Mtg Pauper Affinity is completely OP with brand new MH3 cards!

[@orotemshouse5823]

I love watching Tobey Maguire videos

[@kalikaiz]

😂😂

[@Gaghiel]

I was really hoping snacker wouldn't go in affinity; but in my heart of hearts I knew this is where we'd end up.

[@kalikaiz]

Oh man, I feel that

[@astrograph7875]

It's too generically good.

[@Shigazane]

At first i was thinking snacker would be a reanimator card, but this is definitely going to put it under the radar.

[@kalikaiz]

Yeah I kinda thought so too but it turns out it is too good with dispute

[@ruimartins841]

Counterspell in a 3 color pauper deck is toxic AF.

[@kalikaiz]

Too easy to cast 😔

[@kazekage_gaara_-8027]

Looks like a really fun deck, well done, and congrats!

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks!

[@maxwornowizki422]

Thanks for showing off the menace. At least I feel better now ordering the remainig dust to dusts.

[@kalikaiz]

Get em!

[@ValerieEnriquez]

Aw yes. I've been looking forward to see brewers do fun things with the sneaky snacker and the refurbished familiar. Also I underestimated how fun it is to just say "sneaky snacker." You appear to enjoy saying it as well. [Not me in the kitchen at work checking to see if there are any Reese's peanut butter cups left in the candy bowl at 3:00PM.]

[@kalikaiz]

Snack attack! It is pretty funny 😂

[@Nalianna]

Your voice is calm, and relaxing. It's pleasant to watch you play.

[@kalikaiz]

thanks i really appreciate that!

[@Nalianna]

@@kalikaiz we do too. Keep it up.

[@odoylerules1435]

Have you ever played eldrazi tron before? I think it looks interesting. I feel like with expedition map, stirrings, and crop rotation, you can have tron turn 3 most games. I would like to see an new updated list. If anyones got one. I like the idea of ramping into Ulamogs crusher and anihilator cards. not many of them legal in pauper. The green monarch card might be good too.

[@kalikaiz]

I have an old video of monster tron if you look :)

[@mistahj6724]

The Rat and the Faery are both very good cards that playing other colors other than black and blue is a SIN

[@kalikaiz]

Hyped but very strong

[@ColeTrainStudio]

The snacker is a great card, for sure, but I don't know how badly affinity wants it. It feels like it'd be better in dimir fairies or dimir control, where you send it to graveyard with delver/augur of bolas/spellstutter sprite, then brainstorm on end step, get a multiple snackers back and then crack one of the new fetches to shuffle the brainstorm lock. I think I prefer kenku and blood fountain for indestructible flyers and recurring the familiars for hand destruction.

[@kalikaiz]

I think that it was really really good here. I don't think you need to force it. It's just good

[@ruimartins841]

@@kalikaiz Of course it is good. It's the best card against familiar itsef.

[@magonista66]

Great demo of this deck!

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks!

[@braggdesollador7124]

The moment I saw Sneaky Snaker I knew that someone would try it in Pauper.

[@kalikaiz]

It seems crazy good!

[@salemthomasmtg7415]

I went 3-0 with this list last night! it is super consistent and kinda scary to imagine playing against. the mainboard breath weapon caught people off guard and the counterspells were very clutch.

[@kalikaiz]

Nice one!

[@Wormbones-dd9df]

Jesus Kalikaiz, stab me in the heart why don't you! Of course the two best pauper cards from MH3 go right in affinity! But seriously if that match 1 game 2 doesn't show how overpowered artifact lands are the pauper format panel is blind!

[@kalikaiz]

I'm sure they will evaluate it over the next few weeks

[@benettnash]

I can smell ban-hammers in the air. It is fun while it lasts.

[@kalikaiz]

We will see. Maybe everyone will play 8 revoke and dust and the PFP will say nbd

[@oblobear2093]

Refurbished familiar in affinity along with blood fountain is very painful. We have been testing it as well. The snacker build really gives value to the deck. But it somehow makes the deck slower. Imo

[@kalikaiz]

Yes but the power is overwhelming

[@nilesamon7577]

Have you considered Demand Answers? Discarding Snacker for cost and getting it back instantly feels good.

[@kalikaiz]

i considered it and i disregarded it. I would rather be able to dispute the snacker and get it back than discard and get it back

[@mimico4340]

@@kalikaiz I think he meant instead of bargain

[@matuneo]

@@kalikaiz what about Eviscerator's Insight? adding more value from the graveyard in late game... 1 copy wouldn't hurt, right?

[@kalikaiz]

@@matuneo I guess I could see that over bargain. The ability to gain life is pretty important though I feel

Sneaky Snacker Backer :D

[@kalikaiz]

Get the snack back, easy game!

[@mrjey3434]

I think Reckoner's Bargain is worse than Demand Answers, because DA lets you discard Snackers

[@kalikaiz]

Alternatively, you can bargain snacker on your turn and it comes back right away

[@creepoxx]

Hi from Russia, I really enjoy your content! I think this deck is ABSOLUTELY broken. Familiars, combos and other decks that you usually play on your vids are nothing compared to this deck, It's just broken AF (in my opinion).

[@kalikaiz]

Hi thanks! Yes this deck is really overpowered. Unfortunately it's going to be multiple weeks before we hear anything

[@frasonoturileanza]

Great gameplay. Do you think going down of a couple of Snackers for some Frogmites to help ramping and surviving the first turns is a big loss here? I feel like Snacker is really strong especially in the grindy matches but slows down the deck quite a bit

[@kalikaiz]

In general I was super happy with how it played out. I consider fam to basically be an upgraded frog. I think that pressures the opponent and then snacker just gives inevitability

[@alvarotorrent5966]

after just one match i have no doubt sneaky snacker will get banned too

[@kalikaiz]

Maybe it will be the lands this time He said for the 7th time

[@alvarotorrent5966]

@@kalikaiz yes, i would go for the bridges, and maybe bring something back. But dispute into multiple sneaky snackers is clearly too powerful. Refurbished familiar is also very pushed

[@SacredShearts]

kalikaiz do you think snacker could end up in madness burn? i feel like that deck is very ready to pitch it and draws a million cards

[@kalikaiz]

Yeah it's already in!

[@OskyddatSamtal]

Do you think Refurbished familiar should be banned aswell? Affinty was already so strong : O

[@kalikaiz]

We will have to see how it plays out tbh

[@devangoad]

This list was dope!

[@kalikaiz]

Thanks!

[@axisburger4789]

I would like to try this deck. Do you think Lorien is really necessary? Is there anything else that could replace it?

[@kalikaiz]

Lorien is a neat way to be able to go down one land which I liked a lot. You'd just use a land instead

[@pauperdad7040]

I guess you cannot help it and play familiars even when playing affinity 😁

[@kalikaiz]

Haha yes some folks were memeing about replacing the fams server image with the rat fam

[@pauperdad7040]

So. Are we getting splinter twin situation with snacker and bitter reunion? Draw step>cast reunion discarding snacker> draw 2 cards and snacker comes back?

[@kalikaiz]

I mean yes that works. But you don't need to make it fancy

[@ivancaesar_]

Omg…its the first version of affinitty that I lik!! It seems so much powerfull for this format😢

19:47 With "the creature" i mean the sneacky snacker

I believe that's what I did. You have to discard it first because you already drew a card for turn. If you discard second it won't come back

Rip Refurbished Familiar 06/2024 - 06/2024

[@kalikaiz]

We will see

[@astrograph7875]

Ngl I feel like refurbished familiar just isn't worth be included in affinity. You can't abuse it's ETB so discarding one card from an opponent's hand at sorcery just feels super low impact. Drawing one is neat but in grixis affinty, I'm already running so many draw spells that I found myself going for those 99% of the time over familiar. Sneaky snacker also already fits the role of having a flyer body in affinity so familiar just feels like a waste. This card fits soooooooo much better in orzhov blade where it's ETB can be abused.

[@kalikaiz]

you can always dispute and replay it but it is a MUCH better frogmite essentially

[@astrograph7875]

@@kalikaiz That is very true. My bad, I wasn't thinking about frogmite when I made this post.

The card is fine. Affinity itself is a problem in pauper.

[@ethanpowell6069]

Munitions is good but this looks like it could just be UB with way better mana

[@kalikaiz]

But then you don't get shaman or pyroblast which would suck

[@iretro97]

Then there’s no reason to play the broken indestructible lands. You must not play affinity much because the idea of the familiar is to spend just B always. The lands allow that

Even snacker would be busted by itself in affinity. But that rat is very pushed
