The FASTEST Decks in Competitive Pauper EDH 

Jonathan's whole Dargo/Keskit list is full of lines that win before turn 3, it's really impressive. Definitely a fun one to give a spin. Thanks for watching!

CPDH is some of the most fun I've had playing Magic in years -- there are a ton of viable strategies and commanders, everything from turbo decks to aggro, control, midrange, flicker combo, etc. It's a blast, and the online community is excellent, too. Thanks so much for watching!

I definitely recommend it -- cPDH is the most fun I've had playing Magic in a long time. Thanks for the comment!

@@ankylosaurmtg I’m going to check out your other videos, once I finish this birthday build for a friend (imagine Alesha as a Falconer). I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a Spellslinger build that isn’t partner based?

I do! Crackling Drake can be built in a few different ways (some leaning more towards control, some a bit more aggressive/Voltron-styled), but it is, at its heart, a very solid Izzet spellslinger deck. I've also seen Guttersnipe and Dragon's Rage Channeler decks built as mono-red spellslinger, and for a spellslinger deck in non-traditional colors, you might look into Witherbloom Apprentice as well.

Thanks so much for watching!

I love Tor Wauki -- such a cool commander! Thanks for watching!

Of course! Thanks for watching!

Dargo does infact say he costs less for artifacts and creatures sacrificed previously to casting him.

​@chelgoth ok I'm tracking now got it 👍 ty

No worries! I know Tomer from MTGGoldfish has done a couple articles/videos on Malcolm/Breeches in the past, which is similar to Malcolm/Rograkh as far as the combo is concerned -- you can find his lists here: www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/20-malcolm-breeches-combo-stream-highlight and here at the bottom: www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/25-commander-decks-under-25 His decks are $25 or under, so with the extra budget room I'd start by sprucing up the mana base and perhaps adding some more stack interaction to protect your combo lines. Glint-Horn Buccaneer and Lightning-Rig Crew are the two biggest creatures you get to add to your deck, so definitely throw those in. I hope those articles will give you some other ideas as well!

They do! Each sacrifice reduces the total cost of casting Dargo by 2 (including sacrificing Dargo himself), and that is applied to the commander tax as well. The sacrifices also track throughout the turn, so if you've sacrificed 3 creatures/artifacts at some point during the turn, that reduces Dargo to R + the commander tax. Sacrificing Dargo himself then basically pays for his commander tax itself each time during the turn, making him only cost R every time you recast him. This Magic Judges blog post is a good piece on the topic of cost increases/cost reductions and how that works with commander tax: blogs.magicjudges.org/rulestips/2019/01/all-about-the-commander-tax/

Oh ok, thank you for clearing that up!

You're the best, thank you!

Absolutely! Dargo/Keskit runs those Ashnod's Altar lines as well -- it's a really sweet deck

Great question! The PauperEDH subreddit has a nice list of community resources -- I'd definitely recommend starting there: www.reddit.com/r/PauperEDH/ The list includes a number of Discord servers where people discuss the format and play webcam games, as well as podcasts and deck tier lists. Discord and Reddit are also where people will post about upcoming paper tournaments. Please let me know if you have any other questions, too -- I'll try to help if I can!
