Just watching the second match where you thought you punted the foretell. You don’t need green mana to exile packmate, just to cast it from exile. Also I’m on your side about playing time haha

Just want to say thanks for making this content, I don't play mtgo too much anymore but love watching your brews. Makes the lunch hour wayyy better.

lmao the boarding party into deny reality into dust to dust was just sooooo much value in one turn! That's the exact thing I love to see when the deck functions how u want! lol great brew again Max

man i dont know - i just love how chill you are - even when losing. thats just a great trait to have! you talking about running out the clock was hilarious too - i find it funny when people online want you to concede because you are at like 1 life for 10 turns and their timer is running out - its like: yeah man, just kill me and you get your win lol

The fun factor of this deck is so high! I absolutely love it. Nice brew, Max. :)

I’m a little late to this party and you’ve probably seen it by now but the new Caw-Gate deck looks pretty sweet. You should check it out if you haven’t yet. Would like to see you pilot it.

Watching this list is like watching someone fit a square peg into a round hole by slamming it over and over until the shape changes

I see you talk about this 5c cascade deck from the prerelease season. I am so exciting about this deck from then on. but the result way below expectations. still nice brewing. btw. Hope the jund/gruul garden deck going well.

I 100% agree with your assessment of the chess clock in MTGO. Factors like disconnects or hardware failure makes things a little sticky. I also dont like that neither the chess clock or rope system are in the rules of magic. Clock was the first big difference between paper and digital magic. Now that devide is deeeeeeeep.

I could definitely hear the opponent saying "Who's the Cascade deck now!" during that last game lol.

Totally agree on the clock commentary by the way. I honestly think it's more fair then paper. Like why am I being punished with a draw because they decided to play a turbo fog deck with no clear win com or something. Chess clock is reasonable, though it would probably be difficult to implement for your fnm

31:57 you can foretell any time on your turn, so even if they ice on your upkeep you can still make use of the mana

Basilisk gate is super dope in orzhov with guardian and crypt rats

If you durdle around against controlish decks like fae you're playing into their game plan. The way to go against counters is to jam, not to wait until they draw them. You have to play out your stuff and make them have it.

Love the deck. How do you feel about mirrorshell crab in place of the dragons? It’s not usually a dead card in hand and a 5/7 with ward is decent. Only downside I see is you cant cascade into it

I do think RUG cascade shows promise, setting up cascades with brainstorm/ponder running removal over LD maybe

for the algo thanks for the pauper mtg

Have you thought about Gatecreeper Vine or Open the Gates? I know it's not massively impactful but they enter and draw a card and can fix your colors.

I tried naya cascade last night without the 3 cmc (gimmick) and it just feels like bad ponza cascade. I went 2/3 in a league, but 1 of them was my own punt costing me a match. I didnt use gates but it really didnt feel good. If there was a slightly better 3cmc boardwipe to cascade into that was good in most matchups i think it would work well, ut doing nothing until turn 3 feels way too bad to catch up from reliably. Will definately be revisiting it if there is a better 3 mana hate piece printed

Just gonna come here to mention it, since i am unsure whether i can join the stream, but Monastery Swiftspear downgrade to common in Double Masters. This feels huge for mono red kiln fiend. Any Plans to maybe revisit kiln fiend?

Are you going to do more modern leagues ?

Maelstrom Colossus! Where is it? Even a 1 of would be dope

idk why people got so up in arms about you playing to the clock. The point of the game is to win lol. Playing to the clock especially against slow controlling decks that durdle around is totally a valid strategy. Anyways, appreciate the pauper content sir, keep it up!

Best mechanic? [Laughs in storm]

It is a very fun build, conceptually speaking. The problem is that it's SO slow. Too many colours, almost only taplands and no mana ramp engines. It takes you double the time to do anything, compared to any other deck (four times, if it is something that ramps like the last one) not to mention the damage deriving from land destruction. It's sad to say but this deck doesn't work.

You are definitely not a risk taker. I myself try to draw cards out of their hand. Probably is a bad word in my opinion. Go for it lololololol

Hopes and dreams sometimes just remain that. Perhaps time to move on to another deck? Perhaps time too rework this thing entirely? I'm not sure.

You are playing foretell wrong, you could have foretelled when they iced your land, and foretelling is colorless mana

I don't think you're playing Pauper correctly if you aren't thinking about time, especially with fams floating around 10% of the meta.

Chess players concede all the time. One game of chess doesn't use the same clock as the next game so there is no incentive to play a lost game one out just so the opponent has less time the next game. Also pretty rude to criticize someone for playing fast when your only hope of winning is to time them out. I'd say ghosting is just as reasonable as timing people out. Might have to try it.

can we please stop playing this pile XD
