This was a bit of a nostalgia bomb for me. My friends and I used to do a $5 challange in college. We'd each take $5 and hit up the common's and uncommons box at the local games shop (this was in 98-99, so commons were 10 cents or 15 for a dollar, and bulk uncommons were 25 cents each) and build the best deck we could using our own basic lands. I distinctly remember making a Tortured Existence deck in black and green with cards at the time, though it wasn't exactly pauper since we all had some uncommons. I really want to see if either of the local shops is interested in doing some pauper events now, I feel like reliving some old card adventures.

@madelinecoven6428 11 месяцев назад

The kind of challenging but unpretentious game Magic should be.

@NecroticRampage 6 лет назад

I've decided to buy this deck and build a pauper playgroup locally. Thanks for this video, and all the other work you've put into the pauper format. I never thought I'd play magic again before learning about commander and pauper.

@knavenformed9436 6 лет назад

Why does a pauper deck sound more epic than basic ones?

@KianSheik 6 лет назад

because pauper is the strongest format per dollar!

@Frostweaver42 6 лет назад

What Kian said

@kraxos8938 6 лет назад

vili rantala because pauper is legitimately the best format

@Pintyhet 6 лет назад

It plays like legacy and almost every deck archetype from other formats are viable to some degree in pauper.

@johnroush1099 6 лет назад

Because there's a healthy and thriving metagame to Magic once you peel off the veneer of broken rares over MTG's history. Sans Delver of Secrets, a handful of around 60 or 70 rares are so strong in Modern and Vintage that nothing else is playable unless it ties into those cards. Pauper lets all sorts of shenanigans ensue.

@PAUPERGANDA 6 лет назад

Great production - love the audio!

@MikeWasThere 6 лет назад

You should do gameplay videos of your decks

@cogitaris4508 6 лет назад

Yut0kun gaming she steams on twitch, so maybe one time he will play that deck over there

@ehallam08 6 лет назад

I love this deck! Thanks prof, always enjoy your videos (especially the pauper vids)

@jdonvance 6 лет назад

"Tortured Existence: How is this card a common?" is exactly what I said when I opened my first pack of Stronghold and read it for the first time. I couldn't afford to build ProsBloom, but I did have a lot of fun in the graveyard.

@stanmilkowski3550 6 лет назад

Love the pauper deck techs. Your Pauper videos got me into the format years ago and I have since been playing off and on casually in paper (not on MTGO). Hopefully they make the Online banned list the official list for both Online and Paper. I hope to attend a Rags to Riches event one day.

@ytkob 6 лет назад

yaaay, a new pauper video! i like the meren comparison. my buddy built abzan tortex recently and said it feels just like playing his karador EDH deck.

@Gcsmith12 6 лет назад

Love videos like this Professor. Especially before GP London. Looking forward to seeing you.

@chacobos1 6 лет назад

I already love BG Dredge so will have to give this deck a go, thanks Professor for letting us know about it!

@dondo3384 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to get a pod deck for a long time and finally had the money for it only to see that it was banned in modern. When i saw what tortured existence does i instantly fell in love with it.

@DarkJusticeMetal 5 лет назад

This is exactly what I needed. Bought the stuff online and I can't wait to play it

@kylemitchell2052 6 лет назад

I've been playing this deck and i've had so much success with it. I've modified it a bit. I found that it of the horrid swarm is a beast in the long game and can be recurred over and over.

@mave6602 6 лет назад

Thanks Professor. You gave purpose to some unused commons of my collection. I accidently bought too many Grave Scrabbler while building my mono black modern Zombie-Discard Deck using Zombie Apocalypse and I always loved Golgari Brownscale but I never knew how to use the Brownscale in a playable Deck.

@enriquesoul5370 4 года назад

Professor. Your breakdowns of these Pauper decks are clear, concise, and entertainingly informative. I have wanted to play with a commons only format since Mercadian Masques, but had no idea there was an actual format with a community till very recently. These are fantastic. Keep them coming sir. I hope to someday tap some carboard with you one day.

@sandwichboy1268 4 года назад

I only wish a few cards were downshifted to common, like ensoul artifact

@Frostweaver42 6 лет назад

I saw this video and immediately made plans to go buy it, this deck is sweet

@ti83magic 6 лет назад

You may be happy to know that the extraneous call to action concerning the bell has worked, as a direct result of you saying it many, many times :) Good work as ever professor!

@jaumetejeroambrosio4411 6 лет назад

In my local gamestore pauper has just started to spread, and this sounds like right what I was looking for I already had the Izzet blitz deck you showed, and have built a slivers decks, 'cause it reminded me of my Merfolks and this sounds about great to add some more variety to my deck pool (Though I'll probably tinker a little with red, at the very least)

@Pintyhet 6 лет назад

More pauper, please. Love love love this format. ...I rang the bell.

@petrikovak 6 лет назад

This video is absolutely amazing!

@KianSheik 6 лет назад

Great deck tech, I run a super pure version of this deck and I have seen so many different splashes that work out well. Tortured Existence has to be the most malleable engine in pauper apart from TRON imo. I'm looking forward to playing a match against you tomorrow!

@s7121n9s 6 лет назад

Just really found out about pauper from your videos and want to get in to it just for variety, been looking for graveyard/reanimation decks in the format. This deck really catches my intrest

@ThreatLevel9 6 лет назад

Dead weight. 10 cents each. One copy. Total: 15 cents. Alright

@oom-3262 6 лет назад

2 barren moor 0.16 cents each, total: 30 cents. Allright aswell

@paladia_gorom1973 6 лет назад

@gloriouslumi 6 лет назад

And yet he still has problems pronouncing some of the easiest words in English like "Entourage". I kid, I kid. But, yeah, pretty sure this is a case of "Your Results May Vary".

@taylorfisdboss5200 6 лет назад

lmao i totally missed that

@johnroush1099 6 лет назад

If you spend a lot of time reading literature, especially older literature, pronunciation is something you begin to lose a knack for.

@ARenegadeNoob 6 лет назад

I absolutely love pauper, it's one of my favourite formats simply because anyone can get access to it. I wish WOTC just put more pauper reprints into masters sets or other specialty sets. Older cards like Oubliette and tortured existence could do with a reprtin, and even some newer cards could too. Ash barrens was released 2 years ago but is roughly $8 each. I hope the success of Pauper at the recent GP will help persuade WOTC to do more reprints :(

@fluffyy-8341 6 лет назад

Put this together and played at at my stores first Pauper FNM. I have to say I really like it so far!

@MDJ7713 6 лет назад

I already have like a third of these!

@ecolvill 6 лет назад

That new black vampire common that's like a life drain variant of Elvish Visionary might be another tool to play with here. Super encouraged to see more strength in paper pauper, curious to see what CFB does with its events.

@danielgordon8719 6 лет назад

Great video- more Pauper please! I suggest adding some play tips and interactions, maybe some sample hands or lines of play. Show a sample battlefield and demo how the deck plays. Thanks!

@raistlinhelmi2645 6 лет назад

Nice deck Professor . But is has done something more for me . Since i´m brewing to spice up a nice Pestilence pauper deck and just went Orzhov (my own not the one you find online) , I will now try an Abzan version of the deck helping me find circles also and maybe even spice up my managain to end the game quicker thanks to the entchantment finder cards that were not on my radar for this deck .

@TrilainaBloodwind 6 лет назад

Love these videos! I was wondering if you could do a video on U/G Infect in Pauper? I am building one right now from the sad, broken remains of my modern version, and I want to see if there's anything I'm missing :D

@MrVitorPeixoto 6 лет назад

Please ! More contents about pauper ! Amezing !

@MTGDeckmastersGameplay 6 лет назад

Great channel, great videos!

@dolanleckliter9929 6 лет назад

Prof! You’re getting me not only interested in pauper but Merfolk modern as well! I was wondering if you thought the new cards coming out in rivals of ixalan would be worth going into simic merfolk? Love your vids and I rang the bell! Hahaha

@luffysh 6 лет назад

this deck is the best. Fully customizable and endless fun.

@luffysh 6 лет назад

endlessly

@donnylurch4207 6 лет назад

I have no idea where to start with Pauper, so I thought I'd build around Delver, Nivix Cyclops, and Kiln Fiend. Thanks for the insight into what this format can do!

@matthewloser7567 6 лет назад

Izzet blitz is a deck in the format built around those very cards. Lots of can trips, cheap pump, and killing people very fast.

@kenpallicer658 6 лет назад

www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/pauper-izzet-blitz#paper here you go, a full decklist! It's my way-to-go pauper deck :D

@ThunderBirdJack 6 лет назад

That is a great place to start.

@donnylurch4207 6 лет назад

Thanks! I watched the Professor's video on Izzet Blitz and though he doesn't use Delver, I can't resist using it with Ponder and Preordain. Seems like those 12 creatures will be just right for this deck.

@jackdixon8540 6 лет назад

MORE PAUPER!!! also, could you possibly put your lists in tapped out/ TCGplayer or somewhere else? But mostly keep up the great work :-)

@Gab8riel 6 лет назад

The timing, Jesus. I was about to buy a mono white pauper deck so I could participate on a pauper tournament tomorrow. But, honestly I really wanted to make a tormented existence deck, but it seemed to complex to learn in a day. But, you know what screw that excuse.

@michaeldavison5048 6 лет назад

Ha, at the end he kept telling the viewer to ring the bell and I finally clicked it just before he said "thank you". It made it feel like he could tell if we clicked it or not lol.

@GLHFMtG 6 лет назад

Thank you Prof.

@DandyInTheBronx 6 лет назад

@Kalamonga 6 лет назад

you said thank you just as I ringed the bell :D

RIP TortEx in pauper - you were a real one

@PewPew_McPewster 6 лет назад

I ran into like two Tortex today at GP Santa Clara and I blame you Prof! I BLAME YOUUUU Seriously though it's quite a deck. I suggest all former Modern Pod players to give it a try.

@baileynicholson251 6 лет назад

I like what you do thanks.

@Dracula797ESP 6 лет назад

Please more awesome pauper decks ❤❤❤

@ahriss8965 6 лет назад

With this much sacrificing going on, wouldn't bloodbriar be a good idea? 2/3 for 2g, +1/+1 counter every time you sacrifice something...

@jeanmarais337 6 лет назад

did you just use my meren toolbox 100$ deck and make a pauper deck from it? I love playing this kind of deck. the polar opposite of linear, no free wins and always puts up a great fight reguardless the matchup. two thumbs up

@thyetyeyryeretyery 6 лет назад

Would you/should you use the new black Vampire Visionary for additional card draw in this deck?

@dustin89clanton 6 лет назад

Going to be my first pauper deck ^_^

@Doofindork 6 лет назад

Pssst. Hey guys. I think professor wants us to RING THE BELL! Not sure if that's what he was hinting for though. Just a guess, and stuff.

@274pacific 2 года назад

Would love to see you play games online with your brews

@bobrinkman2019 6 лет назад

Played this for the first time in MTGO today. I got the Spore Frog + Tortured Existence + Grave Scrabbler engine going and my opponent scooped.

@aham2903 6 лет назад

More Pauper, YEEEEEES!!!

@poloxxel3423 6 лет назад

Don't like just ring the bell

@burstofknowledge4237 6 лет назад

what is with the bell change?

@robertabugelis3962 6 лет назад

Burst of Knowledge I'm going to venture a guest that You Tube has changed it's criteria again. Instead of likes it wants subscriptions as a way to judge popularity.

So you’re saying I can faithless looting in dredge again?! Lordy Lordy my life has meaning again!

@chadjones1266 Год назад

thanks prof

@Metroidhunter13 5 лет назад

anyone know what the elf picture behind the spore frog is? is it just an artwork or an actual card?

@hydralisk102 6 лет назад

Hey prof! Would using Death's approach instead of Dead weight be a good idea? I think the fact I can trade off vs kor sky fishers, gurmag anglers, or even ulamog's crushers is a better tradeoff. I know its weaker to graveyard hate but think it's just perfect for this deck. Would love some feedback. Thanks!

@hydralisk102 6 лет назад

Been trying it. Its worth it.

@kevintoomplan6030 6 лет назад

This is actually much more expensive now, glad I built it a year or two ago.

@jaredhill4367 6 лет назад

Hi Professor, Just wondering how you would feel about Pauper that's not only commons, but that's also limited to the standard format?

@mageofwar5438 6 лет назад

More Pauper!

@TheDarkprophet6 6 лет назад

Anyone know what the background artwork is from around the 4:45 mark in the video?

@chaomasterzebboxo 6 лет назад

I'm not very familiar with the Pauper format, but I've noticed recently that a lot of the decklists I see run mostly 1-ofs and 2-ofs, with playsets being pretty rare. Why is that? I realize that this is meant to be a toolbox deck but I've seen other decks doing the same thing.

@MrInfernoblade10 6 лет назад

Another reason I love the Golgari Swarm

@MrRechtsfuss 6 лет назад

Dear Mr. Professor, I didn't play Magic for a long time and am wondering, whether there's a good mainly blue pauper deck focussing on what blue typically does: countering and drawing. Thx, regards, Martin

@kenpallicer658 6 лет назад

www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper#paper you may like Mono Blue Delver or related decks, have fun!

@Demosthenes6666 6 лет назад

There are a *lot*. I recommend Mono-Blue Delver, which counters opposing spells with literal-actual-counterspell, Mana Leak, and Spellstutter Sprite, then draws you more cards with Mulldrifter.

@TehSeksyManz 6 лет назад

Agreed, Delver is a fantastic choice.

@MrRechtsfuss 6 лет назад

Thanks will have a look. Still if there would be a video here I'd definetly watch it. Just sayin...

@shayneweyker 6 лет назад

Here's a BUG Pauper list I found called Pig Trinket from a while back that has many cool ways to get card advantage. Not sure how it would fare in an aggro-heavy environment though. There's videos around of a guy playing it I think. 2 Bojuka Bog 2 Brindle Boar 4 Chainer's Edict 3 Crypt Rats 2 Deep Analysis 2 Executioner's Capsule 2 Forest 4 Fume Spitter 2 Grim Harvest 2 Island 2 Jungle Hollow 2 Krosan Tusker 4 Mulldrifter 4 Sakura-Tribe Elder 2 Simic Growth Chamber 5 Swamp 2 Sylvok Lifestaff 2 Terramorphic Expanse 2 Thornwood Falls 3 Tragic Slip 1 Tree of Tales 3 Trinket Mage 2 Undying Evil 1 Vault of Whispers SB 2 Brindle Boar 4 Choking Sands 1 Deep Analysis 2 Nihil Spellbomb 4 Thermokarst 2 Wickerbough Elder

@minokalu1682 6 лет назад

Where do you think Mono white tokens and/or Soldiers stand in this Pauper Metagame?

@aikola86 6 лет назад

It doesn't.

@matthewloser7567 6 лет назад

Well, you've got Kuldotha Boros. Its a boros token ish deck looking to go very wide and cast a rally the peasants along side some lightning bolts

@mrapplegate4065 6 лет назад

Actually I saw a gameplay vid of Mono white tokens just yesterday here on RU-vid. Battle Screech really makes the deck hum. I would definitely recommend looking around here for neat pauper decks and then run them on untap.in.

@rafael_sekia 6 лет назад

Please do a deck tech on Bugs & Pigs, it has a very similar playstyle to tortured existence

@aikola86 6 лет назад

Rafael .S. de Souza Golgari Aristocrats FTW.

@12Mrdevin 6 лет назад

If pay one black mana and I sac golgari brownscale with tortured existence, can I then chose to bring brownscale back into my hand right away ( as part of tortured ability ) and gain two life (ability of brownscale returning to hand ) ? Can I do this multiple times? For some reasons related to the stack I don’t think I can. Help plz.

@jeffchann4556 6 лет назад

I know it wasn't out at the time, but Benefaction of Rhonas would be awesome in this deck

@chrisgoodness6531 6 лет назад

yup! that would be broken!

@linkusesdabomb 6 лет назад

It was out because he was play Horror of the Broken Lands. I'm assuming he chose not to run it

@jeffchann4556 6 лет назад

NeroZero Oh yeah I didn't see it sry

@greatbowlsofgravy 6 лет назад

Jepp Benefaction is essentially a slower version of Commune with the Gods in this deck. Probably unnecessary, given that this list is already running Commune.

@samuraiwarrior87 6 лет назад

So professor with all the new merfolk from ixlan do you think pauper merfolk is viable or are the dreams of running the citizens of our oceans still out of reach.

@ethanjones4279 6 лет назад

Just wondering, does anyone agree that Black/Green infect Aggro is a good pauper deck? as since u don't focus on the health of the opponent, you are more freely able to play things like Nature's will or something that gives them life but in the process destroys something and the pump spells are atmost a 2 drop. I play this deck and it always works well for me. Thoughts anyone?

@sneakysquirrel1990 6 лет назад

@rzq100 6 лет назад

So as a noob to the pauper format is this deck legal in both the paper and mtgo versions of the format? I'm asking because my lgs might be starting to host pauper events soon and I don't know which legality they will be using.

@coldfire774 6 лет назад

Razqua there is no official list for paper pauper so most people just go off of the mtgo list

@rzq100 6 лет назад

Ahh okay. The only reason I brought it up was because there was a lot of talk about gp events using the mtgo list. I assumed there were two distinct lists and the mtgo one was just more popular.

@arthaiser 6 лет назад

the only one that maybe wasnt legal was faceless butcher but i was common in torment so... you are probably safe and if you arent, maybe you need to change 1 card or 2, the core of the deck is legal 100%

@KianSheik 6 лет назад

Razqua pauper isn't traditionally played on paper except by the few of us that like to destroy ppl with only commons haha, mtgo list is the one and only
