Ur control was my first pauper deck ever (like 10 years ago or something) so it will always have a spot in my heart.

This would have been the first time I played the deck, so I wouldn't say I was confident. I have a lot of meta knowledge of Pauper so I generally have a good idea what cards I need to draw and what cards I need to remove/counter of the opponents. I try not to play the same deck for a while so you probably won't see me play this again unless new cards come out for it. I'll probably play a Jeskai list soon at some point that might be of interest to you.

Seen a couple of other people put out a video of that deck already since it won Paupergeddon. I'll probably get around to it at some point, lots of decks to chose from recently.

Nice run, man! Happy to see deck still performing well after a year! Don't like absence of Augurs, they are sooo good and synergistic in deck with brainstorms/ponders/breathweapons/loriens/monarch and most likely the best card in the deck. Also, preordains are not preferred cantrip here, another sorcery speed one, and generally worse then consider/thoughtscour with bs/ponders/terrors.

Thanks! I am by no means a control specialist, so all of these suggestions are probably correct. The deck was straight from Spock, who has played more of this deck than anyone else, so I assumed the changes were done for a reason (I assume for the ponza heavy meta). I think I was just lucky with my matchups like if I played against Kuldotha I would have really wanted Augur. I could see Consider instead of Preordain, really wanted to hold up mana a lot during this league.

So many funny moments in this one. "I don't know how they get out of this... Swamp might do it... Fanged flames doesn't even kill the Crystalis..." I appreciate the light hearted comments I was thinking the same thing everytime. Those games where your opponent is dead 4x over and they go to untap as you're thinking... I dont expect Ill lose but if I have not done enough Im not sure what to say.

I've always been a pessimist, so I guess I always try and figure out the worst outcome and how I can play around it. Glad you are enjoying the commentary, still find it hard to not have dead air but feel I've gotten a lot better over the year.

Hello @Kirblinxy ! How bad would think it would be to change red to black? Snuff Outs and Agony Warps/Cat Downs for the red target spells and a Thorn for the red Pirate. Drown in Sorrows instead of the red sweepers. Would that be so bad, I wonder?

@salemthomasmtg7415

9 күн бұрын

drown in sorrow is sorcery speed, and skred is better value for the mana. just my 2 cents.

@Kirblinxy

8 күн бұрын

The real draw of red is those 1 mana removal spells. Sure you have Snuff Out but then all the other black removal is 2 mana, and that costs twice as much as skred! I did play UB teachings just be MH3 came out which shows how that removal suite works if you want to check out that vid.

@TheForesterf

8 күн бұрын

Both UR and UB are good, but have different matchup preferences. Black is slightly better against creature combos (due to snuff out) and grave-synergy decks(boujuka and spellbomb). Red plays best sweeper(breath weapon) and arguably more efficient removal package, also is superior sideboard color (pyroblasts and artifact hate).

Fanged flames kills indestructible creatures (like an animated bridge)

Walls played poorly on the second game. After playing 2 Axebane, should have transmuted Drift of Phantasms for Drift for Drift for Reaping the Graves returning the 3 Drift (or 2, if 1 copy got countered) to hand and then get set for the next turn. Going for the easy counterable option was definitely a mistake.

I think I mentioned this when they transmuted as that would have been the line I would have gone for. I figured I had lost that game after the winding way hit 4 cards so I definitely got away with that win.
