Who’s the best PAUPER Youtuber? Mengu or Toffel? | UR Skred vs Jund Glee | Mtg Paper Gameplay

[@LGD.Raptor]

Look forward to every Monday for new Mengus Workshop Veedeos!!!!!!!! Best paper magic channel on youtube

[@MengusWorkshop]

Thanks! 🤗

[@Kris-dh6zy]

@@MengusWorkshop Not sure if its unfair to ask, but is it possible to also add big close ups to some lands as well? I dont know what some lands that are played do.

[@albertorozco3652]

Ditto!!

[@AndreaMengucci]

@@Kris-dh6zywe could on the strange ones yeah, although remember that you can find the full decklists in description

[@jaredstivers]

Mengus, could you do something crazy. Artisan Modern? Just follow the banned list and everything that is modern legal. It actually plays closer to the classic modern when it was invented 10 years ago with the tap lands. Delver and friends are fun decks. So are Affinity, Jund, Soul Sisters, Ivy Lane Denizen combo, Devoted Druid combo with Invoker, Eldrazi Tron with there Temple being legal, Classic Tron, burn, new build around Abiding Grace in it different varieties, Food combo, blink decks, Monument decks, Persist combo, and many more.

[@machinamawatcher]

Woo! Love to see more gameplay of MTG's best 1v1 format!

[@riotThomy]

Pauper + Mengu = godlike 😊

[@sh41]

Great video. Possibly the 2 strongest decks in pauper at the hands of 2 great players that also keep teasing each other. Please keep this type of content coming, it's fantastic. I wish you had Tomi and Carl play as well, those 2 are so much fun playing together.

[@cosmicoptimist7977]

Calling UR Skred “one of the strongest decks in the format” is a big stretch… but I agree, the content is very enjoyable

[@MengusWorkshop]

Tommi and Carl played against in the Vintage tournament last month, check that out too!

[@sh41]

@@MengusWorkshop yes, that video was really fun, that's why we want more of them together.

[@canadianbakn]

Man Thoralf's deck seemed so powerful. I am glad we saw a game 3 with some grind to it, could see some of the card advantage of the deck too when your opponent is interacting and you are not just turbo comboing out. Could definitely feel the pressure with Mengu not finding cheap terrors but him still feeling like he just loses to the fair plan if he doesn't tap low to try to cast some proactive spells. Thanks for an enjoyable series!

[@HonkLord]

Mengu's "no, stop, just die" at 14:40 made me laugh out loud, brilliant veedeo!

[@OctupleThreat]

Toffel is a very goofy funny guy and so it's really easy to forget that he's literally a professional at magic because we (unfortunately) see him get targeted or steamrolled in like half of the videos he's in. It's always nice to see him navigate competitive matches because it really highlights his memory, awareness of his and his opponent's deck, his outs, and general ability to adapt, set, or change the tempo of a match on a dime. Andrea is very skilled, very flashy for the camera, very genre savvy. Fastest Ponderer for 500 miles. Andrea showcases so many of the social skills that improve your competitive magic play alongside decisive and confident play that is super effective at getting opponents to play themselves into corners or "You Are Already Dead" situations. This video also showcases that maybe just maybe one of the black "Sac a thing, draw 2 cards" spells should be banned. 8 of those in a deck plus wellsprings PLUS Malevolent Rumble is an absurd amount of value and inevitability IMO

[@MengusWorkshop]

Loved the detailed analysis :)

[@LeKrutes]

I think toffel even could have one game 2 if he used his snuff out earlier or at least have a change.

[@OctupleThreat]

@@LeKrutes I had a similar thought, and it may have been a punt/misplay to not do that, but seeing Toffel dig through half his deck over three or so turns to shove a redundant combo win was enough WOW factor lmao. I wonder if he'd been holding it for a more opportune moment, but I think the combat step before Toffel scooped he could have attempted to set up a blowout with the Snuff Out and a double block. Us the viewers know it wouldn't have worked because we have Tomi-vision, but it would have been backbreaking if it had.

[@bambabam1234]

Wow! This was awesome! Such fast gameplay with such great jokes in between (the dollar&euro treasure was fun). Two incredibly skilled players just going at it

[@TheFewLimited]

Hey Mengu, Have you ever thought about trying to do a cube draft veedeo with a group of guys? After having you show us your cube I'd love to see you playing it out in like a cube tourney, or some sort of team draft.

[@z0r012]

I second this for sure

[@Ian-mi2li]

would be amazing!

[@SamuelGilbert-wp5ur]

Mengu was trying so hard to hide the tilt at the end 😭😂 great video!

[@oafkad]

That ending was legit hilarious. I was smirking and chuckling. It couldn't have ended better I think.

[@udhh2619]

We need a 24 hour stream with these boys playing magic all day with a break after every 5 game matches. And many different formats ❤

[@DerringerHK]

I see Carl's megaphone made an appearance. Mengu must be so happy every time he has to listen to it :D

[@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860]

i allways thought that Duress in pauper is brutal. Given how managable creatures usually are in the format, being able to get that much information and shut down the best playpath in the process is *chef-kiss*

[@chasm9557]

I reason that if it's okay to have counterspells, then it's okay to have a way to target them in the hand. I think that in a vacuum it's a weaker form of interaction than countermagic since you're always vulnerable to whatever is on the top of your opponent's deck, but in exchange you gain extra information in the form of your opponent's hand.

[@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860]

@@chasm9557 the thing is, hand control is usually cheaper, and being proactive also means that you can do it on the curve and be efficient with your mana. Overall i think is a much stronger defensive (AND OFFENSIVE) strategy than countering. I wouldn't say counter is weak, by any means, but the sheer power of knowing in a game like magic is a huge resource imbalance.

[@soupsovereign]

"you should be happy we're winning together" is craaaazy lol

[@Hieuby_Dooby]

GG! it's great to see the cardmarket guys on my favorite magic channel!

[@udhh2619]

The featured match where you had exact damage with jund right before your opponent caught back up was sweet

[@waves-]

Love seeing Toffel on the channel, you both play so precisely it makes for a great video

[@MuxusGoblinGrandee]

I would love this kind of mini tournament in premodern!

[@rowanfredericks9656]

I love this and I can’t believe it’s not more popular ❤

[@el_pablodocus]

Paper gameplay is the best, thank you !

[@manulepro]

Both entertaining and enriching. Thank you for the great videos and the good vibes!

[@g.n.s.]

You’re BOTH the best in my heart, Mengu and Thoralf ;)

[@Alejandrodemontana]

You guys are the best! Hope Thoralf didn’t bust your chops too much 😂

[@zackhunter7796]

My favorite actual play. I also feel like I learn a lot about formats here. Do a premodern tournament!

[@BCfightan]

Great video as always I love both channels You should try to make the final announcement more impactful though!! It was an exciting finish and then it was just “I’m dead, congratulations on being pauper king, goodbye!” Needs more energy!! (Not the deck) Still love you guys

[@so_sick_of_flowers]

Best paper magic channel right here.

[@Qdrew78]

Thank you Mengu for such an amazing series of content, Toffel and you make life better and I am grateful for your beautiful souls and energy you bring to the world. Cheers and always love and laughter in your lives :)

[@Andrew-eh7oh]

Watching pauper on mtgo is so boring but something about these paper games is so fun to watch.

[@TehKorwinMikke]

Mengu is my favorite non-Toffel planeswalker.

[@jonaswilliams9755]

Their banter is incredible. XD

[@hangie030199]

i was watching it without sound and i thought the whole time Thoralf was on the Skred deck and Mengu on Glee

[@kageotaku]

Toffel's face at @12:09 is priceless

[@janismtgsmiles]

Thats what I wanted to say too, but to be honest.. those 1 Mana 5/5's in pauper seem better then good old goyf..sadly

[@nehebtheunwhorthy3313]

Very interesting match. Keep going, great work (again).

[@JakkHorwikk]

Love this series!

[@NickolaiKM]

I’m a simple man: I hear ‘more CarlMarket content’, i click ‘like’

[@oafkad]

Gonna win no matter who wins this, two of my favorite players.

[@keldabekiss11]

Absolutely love all of the Pauper content!!!! Go UR Skred!!!

[@outputcoupler7819]

Carl's megaphone lives! Though I don't know why he has a megaphone, I'm pretty sure you can hear him from Germany without it.

[@PiplupsHandle]

Showing Tolarian Terror to an old school mtg player is like showing hyperpop to a victorian child.

[@Beanz961]

21:29 FAB mention lessgooooooo

[@unoman1999ful]

flesh and blood mentioned lets goo XD but great video. love me some pauper

[@GusFu22]

The music for this game is so good. Just a real spacey groove. Who makes it?

[@Izelor]

Even when you have 1-mana answers to every single card your opponent has, you can still lose the war of attrition. That was today's lesson, kids.

[@joepiedepoepie1234]

Cool! Not completely used to jund glee without nightblades :)

[@KnixCrisp]

as a golgari lover, i like the result! 🖤💚

[@Potroastjones]

Flesh and Blood mentioned @21:28 LETSSSS GOOOOO !!!!

[@tamska]

Pauper is so much fun! Awesome to see Thoralf winning

[@BusterKlondike]

Great tournament!

[@jaybeepenafiel]

hope to see more of this tourneys hehe

[@minionpeter]

Nice vedio! It was fun to meet in prague

[@StatutoryInterpleader]

Excellent gameplay!

[@Myyraman]

Never say no to Pauper!

[@leonsheldon6991]

11:04 Thoralf (perhaps) tricks Mengu into into revealing he kept annul off brainstorm!

[@ryandavis9379]

i mean why would Mengu ever put Annul back?

[@leonsheldon6991]

@ryandavis9379 oh of course I agree but it's one of those little edges

[@Mightypi]

this was a banger! tho giveing Toffel acsess to a megaphone might be a war crime

[@datawulf88]

Pauper + Mengu + CM 🤩👍

[@randallbachir3695]

Where can i see the decklists? The links in the descriptions are broken

[@sandorc]

That deck is crazy... but toffel plays really well!!!

[@kaiirkens9190]

Pauperlove!!!❤

[@Botched135]

19:21 I am super confused. Why did you untap after casting Lose Focus? Wasnt it still Thoralfs turnM

[@Cobra102686]

Was there a newer printing or rule change for sadistic glee? The card from tempest reads when a creature is put into the graveyard. Tolkens don’t go to the graveyard. I saw online that the rule says when a creature dies but unless it was reprinted and the wording change the combo shouldn’t work this way. Please explain…thanks

[@Eltharyon]

Tokens to go the graveyard the same way they go back to hand when bounced, they simply cease the exist right after.

[@Cobra102686]

@ gotcha. Never thought of it that way. Thanks for the explanation.

[@therealax6]

Note that "dies" means "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield", so this is not a functional change.

[@1ntegrator]

Awesome! 😊

[@themissocki6687]

Just a happy little spawn, doing happy not so little damage.

[@hugovivasodina1413]

Hey Mengu! Why didnt u use brainstorm in 10:20 to hide Skred and Annul? Love your content btw!

[@ziofrancone1697]

Best deck win!🎉

[@MarcoTattoli]

At 12:33 Mengu countered the Sadistic Glee, but couldn’t it be saved by Tamyo?

[@awxangel6781]

it's not a permanent when it's on the stack.

[@awxangel6781]

Glee looks like it would be a nightmare to play online. All games were won by multiple "infinite" loops which would not need to be infinite but would probably have to go to at least 20~30 online to win.

[@delineuno8360]

Where can I buy those dice?

[@matheusgodi6307]

andrea, UR skred is my favorite deck atm, what you think about the list that uses energy? And both decks are double sleeved? which brand of inner sleeves?

[@MengusWorkshop]

Single sleeves for pauper, inner sleeves i use ultimateguard. I prefer using bolt than galvanic discharge

[@kitsunejibril9621]

I'd love to see more Flesh and Blood since you're still playing it

[@ThePlagueHive]

Completely agree, more Flesh and Blood veedeos please!

[@Nchubba]

Would love to see some Flesh and Blood games. Also who's your favorite hero?

[@Bouillestfu]

Toralf is the Proper Pauper King!

[@sme1ksrumors407]

I love how they casually predict each others' plays - and sometimes miss one additional step. Bespeaks Magic mastery

[@mattblack6768]

Perfect video

[@pookygallahad4749]

Pauper King!!! this time...

[@naruyashan]

No sideboard after game 1?

[@albertorozco3652]

More pauper!! 😂😂

[@OneLiuk]

To be honest, all that glitters was lame but glee rn is really strong

[@rav-7072]

PAUPER KING!

[@konstantinmtg]

Nice video❤

[@ReederMG]

So funny to watch Mengu lose a Pauper veedeo against Thoralf on his own channel, considering it feels like Thoralf loses to Mengu every time they play Pauper on the CarlMarket channel.

[@nietrelevant3338]

why didn't thoralf just play the combo on t2 game 1? he's playing against a UR deck that relies on damage to remove creatures. He could havej ust made his broodscale infinite big?

[@hanspeter4845]

Love it

[@Liam-c8m6z]

The best veedeos

[@gloriusschwitzer5872]

[@Snake9332]

My only issue with Pauper is that it's too common... but a face-off against Thoralf is truly a rare experience!

[@Aaackermann]

That's a really uncommon statement! Love it!

[@adamgreen6051]

😀

[@henndahm72]

Tiffel could have killed all of Mengu's creatures and then won as a monarch. Huge misplay 😜

[@ChristianEdwards-i9r]

There's a card coming out in Aetherdrift that is Death's Shadow as a vehicle. I realize it's not Pauper, but I'd really like to talk about the card with someone. Crews for 1. And you can pay life to draw cards with it. 🤔

[@markcargill1304]

Why didnt thoralf snuff out while at 15? Life? He would have bought himself so much time instead of letting the card sit dead in his hand.

[@Vuietnam]

[@BruderSeth]

SPOILER - - - - - - ALL HAIL KING TORALF

[@welovespace9297]

Please ban the lizard🦎and the crisalide 👋👋

[@Ambushw23]

Why do people think casting a brainstorm while “brainstorm locked” is bad you’re gonna draw them anyway if yo I didn’t have the brainstorm now you get through it faster it makes zero sense.

[@awxangel6781]

it feels worse when you *know* that you're stuck not knowing gives you hope and playing to your outs

[@dracomasters9039]

Beat Mengu’s best and favorite pauper deck….. Time for a banning 🙃👍

[@coolbyrne]

Great games and great guest but that combo is cheesy as fuck, I'm sorry.

[@lucatraverso3495]

Broodscale combo is soo frustrating, in g1 in response to bolt Thoralf could have sacked a spawn and adapted with green, then cast glee and get the combo with the last spawn. Still, he pulls it off in a couple of turns by drawing a million cards

[@dantemachiavelli9976]

First!?!?!?!

[@Yefiem]

At 8:10 Thoralf says he gets two spawns when he plays a second sadistic glee and makes infinite spawns. Thats not how sadistic glee works he would still only have the 1 spawn just double the counters on the broodscale.

[@stefancandan5329]

The glee's are seperate triggers each. First trigger resolves, the Broodscale gets a counter, makes a spawn. Then the second trigger resolves, Broodscale gets a counter, and makes another spawn.

[@RuiSilvaKj]

The counter triggers are separate, so the Broodscale triggers twice for each sacrificed spawn.

[@Yefiem]

@@RuiSilvaKj ah i see thank you for pointing that out to me.
