In the original brother’s war novel, urza and mishra (in their youth) build an ornithopter together. Its a small real sized plane like device that they can fly around on, revolutionizing tocasias archeological strategies and eventually becoming urzas iconic invention as he mass produces them later. However in kaleledesh, its implied the ornithopter is a small children’s toy, soooo its as big as you want it to be ig lol
In my ninja deck I have ornithopters with art that looks almost like a person-sized kite with handles for someone to hang from it, like a small glider. I always like to imagine my opponent's creatures as castle guards thinking "huh, that's just a kid's kite - no need to investigate" just before the ninja drops from it.
Fun Fact: Ornithopter has a Wikipedia page. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithopter An Ornithopter is just a machine that flies by flapping it's wings rather than a propeller or jet engine. Real world Ornithopters also vary in size between children's toys and crewed aircraft.
I think one of my favorite parts of Cardmarkets videos (the Yu-Gi-Oh channel as well) is how clear you all love the games you play. No matter whether its a serious quest for the best deck series or a goofy non-gameplay video yall always show so much genuine joy in what you are doing.
11:36 - You payed 2 for Alchemist, ignoring the discount. If you had that extra green, you’d be able to cast the Manamorphose you exiled later that turn and keep going.
Aso, if he untapped the Alchemist properly due to wrenn's resolve being an instant or sorcery, he could've done the same thing. Thoralf had at least 5 more looks at a card to see if he could draw an out.
Fun fact Caaaaarl, I'm from Verona where the "Romeo and Juliet" novel and story is based around. They both come from the same city, they were just in different families
Ninjas are my favourite theme in Magic. Neon Dunasty was the set that got me seriously into the game after almost 15 years of just theoretical interest and dabbling from time to time. And it was all because of the ninjas and artifacts.
At 9:06 Thoralf missed the win, he could’ve played both thermo alchemists and a nettle sentinel instead of another anarchomancer and then gone infinite with sprout swarm
Tbf, he had a land he shouldn’t have from the geomancers gambit at 7:23. He didn’t blow up one of his lands to get the land he fetched like he was supposed to do it works itself out in the end.
@@Ninguin he targeted his indestructible land, so the land stays and he still gets to ramp another basic, gambit and wildfire don’t need to destroy the land to fetch the new one, which is the whole point of playing the indestructible lands with those cards
@@Ninguin Judge here, these decks play the indestructible tap lands like the Silverbluff Bridge Thoralf played turn one specifically to get around that. He targets an indestructible land, it isn't destroyed but the rest of the spell still resolves as normal.
5:00 that “YEA” sound really caught me off guard, who even was that 🤣 sounded like if you stumbled upon someone who’s been lost in the desert for 5 days and you asked if they wanted some water
Australia is normally the reference point in the UK at least, although the reality is that the exact opposite would be closer to New Zealand (and would be in the water)
Genuinely impressed with carls closeup magic skills, good shit! I know some of it's editing or something like that but still it's a rlly fun flavor for this video. I love this channel!
The first mention I've seen of Ornithopters is in the Dune series. In the series the Ornithopters are planes that can be configured to be big enough to carry light cargo in addition to several passangers.
Game 2 at 17:15 Thoralf plays a Goblin Anarchomancer and attacks with it that same turn, dealing 2 damage. As things played out, those 2 points damage leads to him winning that game
12:45 not that it would have mattered really but Thoralf has infinite tapped saprolings. If he had played the nettle sentinel for that one green instead of the sprout swarm, they would all be untapped, since both the alchemist and the sentinel would untap and be able to fully repay the convoke cost. Of course this is just componding the misplay 3 and a half minutes earlier where he could have generated infintie tapped saprolings when he was still at 6 life, ending up with 2 untapped Thermo Alchemists, an untapped Nettle Sentinel, and the final saproling for blockers allowing him to swing for game the next turn.
A mono blue ninja deck won a recent pauper event near me in London with 50+ players. I played against it one round and i just didn't really understand how all these tiny creatures were beating me down. By the time i had worked it out i was dead!
I think for Goblins is because you want a higher mass of creatures to commit to the board as well as getting lethal damage with something like Goblin Grenade. I wouldn't know for Sprout Swarm as I am far less familiar with that deck as a whole. My best guess is not enough space.
@CardmarketMagic I understand. Just a mite disappointing, especially with how Thoralf struggled in game 1. I would have loved to see his thoughts moving into game 2 and trying to adjust to the Ninja game plan.
🥷🍄Check out the decklists here: bit.ly/3XZ23Jn
Don't you still have to pay the green on that spell you only get 1 colorless less per mage
Where do you take decklist submissions for pauper? I'd love to submit mine.
@FongBot we ask for them in our community tab when we plan on making a video :)
Look, I love you guys to bits. Top notch entertainment all the time. But why post the deckslists in a way that is a nightmare to copy paste?

Isn't that foreshadowed in the flavour text of the revised edition of the ornithopter?

“J’vais t’attaquer pour un, avec le vol” said he in perfect Canadian french haha
Yeah it caught me off guard, he is from Canada? Haha
@@angryduck1045 Yes, Carl is canadian, but he moved to Berlin.
Whatever you do, do not let Carl rule zero Cheatyface into his decks 😂
rule 0 doesn't exist in proper formats
@@Citinited And neither does hiding your counter spells beneath your creatures 😂
@@Citinited "proper formats" ... TIL people like this actually exist.
@@Aurelius2142proper is a stupid term but edh is a non competitive format
@@Citinited you must be the funny one at parties.
17:01 Thoralf not looking up to see Carl’s magic trick was so sad, that was so smooth
11:36 - You payed 2 for Alchemist, ignoring the discount. If you had that extra green, you’d be able to cast the Manamorphose you exiled later that turn and keep going.

Carl's move at 18:47, so slick, so swift, so ninja
"I don't speak french" proceeds to speak french
Boss move
With a very good accent.
@@valeredumont5018I believe I’m not mistaken if I say that Carl is French canadian
@@LordpaylorIt's really possible, I hear someom canadian in the accent.
@@Lordpaylor Yeah I was really surprised, as a french canadian myself that absolutely sounded like one of my people xD
@@Lordpaylor i'm French and i do find that his french accent was kinda off, so yeah, i agree
Fun fact Caaaaarl,
I'm from Verona where the "Romeo and Juliet" novel and story is based around.
They both come from the same city, they were just in different families
Yes but they were in different cities near the end of the story which led to their deaths
So you're a Gentleman from Verona?
Then even in the same city, that Faerie Seer and Goblin Anarchomancer did not get to make their love flourish 🥲 thanks for the correction though 😅
The random ninjas appearing out of nowhere was hilarious. Also, yes, watch out for Cheatyface. Carl has proven too sneaky to be trusted!
"I question an ornithopter carrying a ninja"
Sekiro- "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" - You died
13:54 "Unfortunately I don't speak french" - Carl, 2024, starts speaking perfecty french. That's a power move right there.
The scry animation was great! Your editing skills are phenomenal now!

At 9:06 Thoralf missed the win, he could’ve played both thermo alchemists and a nettle sentinel instead of another anarchomancer and then gone infinite with sprout swarm
I think he didn’t realize thermo alchemist also got reduced, since on his last turn he taps 2 red for the alchemist with 3 anarchomancers on board
Tbf, he had a land he shouldn’t have from the geomancers gambit at 7:23. He didn’t blow up one of his lands to get the land he fetched like he was supposed to do it works itself out in the end.

Ninjas and Sprout Swarm in the same Cardmarket video? We are eating good today.
The whole conversation about infinite ants vs a bird got me rolling 🤣
"J'vais t'attaquer pour 1 dans l'air, avec le vol" J'ai ressenti ça dans mon âme 😮
WOOHOOO A NEW CARDMARKET VIDEO!! Already loving this, the energy y’all bring is infectious!
U seem euthanastic
I hope you enjoy this one 🥳
5:00 that “YEA” sound really caught me off guard, who even was that 🤣 sounded like if you stumbled upon someone who’s been lost in the desert for 5 days and you asked if they wanted some water
The first deck I ever built was a ninja deck and I distinctly remember teaching my friends to fear ornithopter hahaha
The face of Thoralf reading the smoke shroud is why I make pauper decks 😂
You both had too much fun!!! This kind of creativity is what makes a great game so much more exciting! Keep it up!
Thabk you :D I'm really happy that you enjoyed the video!
14:25 I like how even in Europe, they do the "the opposite side of the world is China" bit.
It's more exciting than the middle of the ocean
@@thenumberpie314depends where you are i guess, opposite of spain is australia
Australia is normally the reference point in the UK at least, although the reality is that the exact opposite would be closer to New Zealand (and would be in the water)
China is just that big

I was a magic nerd before I was a magic nerd 😅
Carl speaking french feels so cursed
Well, he is French Canadian after all, soooo
Whaaaat Yoonns, c'est donc ainsi qu'il s'est rafler son sponso cardmarket... :o
Thoralf has the most adorable ant sound effects I've ever heard 🥹
What does an ant sound like?
I love watching these two play magic. It reminds me of playing 1v1 with my best friend as a kid and just vibing.
Cardmarket makes the best pauper videos on the internet!

1:10 Ooh, finally an animation for scry - that was the last thing I was missing in the otherwise great overlays/card information here :)

yeah... lots of misplays that game too lol
thoralf: "you're not being that sneaky"
carl: *throws card at jugular*
Lovely decks, great video!
You guys just keep on delivering, well done.
Thank you :) we try our very best!
I applaud you, Carl! That was some fun Ninja trickery with all those hidden hards and tokens! XD
Thank you 😃
Carl, with the sneaky negate, I was so hype for it. Awesome games guys.
Carl speaking parfait quebecois is always scary surprising. I love it so much.
Breaking the fourth wall: "your deck needs haste" 😆
I didn't know ninjutsu worked on non-ninjutsu creatures, that's fantastic, what a cool ability!
I love watching these videos.
I would just love to hang out with these guys all the time lol
Cest vraiment impressionnant as a french canadian myself d'entendre Carl parler français!!! Hello from Sherbrooke!
Bonjour de Berlin! 👋 c'est beau Sherbrooke
Bin viel zu spät zur Party, aber
PAUPER CONTENT! SEHR GEIL
idk why but I wasnt expecting the french out of carl, that tickled the brain nicely
17:57 Toralf attacks with his Goblin Anarchomancer even though it had summoning sickness!
I love Carl v Thoralf matches because their conversations always sound just like my friend and I playing Pauper. They have such a sweet friendship.

Seeing this channel blossom to what it’s become has been amazing, keep up the good work I love the cardmarket crew ❤
Thank you :) I'm happy you enjoy our content! We put so much love into it!
I love sprout swarm! That's an unusual deck to see and it brought a smile to my face
I think for decks like Thoralf's, Bitter Reunion can be a very important piece to make sure you can ensure the win on the turn you need to.
Fantastic sleight of hand Carl! Just an extra flourish on an already epic video 😁
Great to see more paper gameplay videos. Always my favourite content on the channel.
Y'all always release great content but this was truly one of the BEST!! 🔥
Carl's french was impeccable.
He's a native speaker :P
14:00 ca fesait longtemp que j'attendais l'accent quebs
Oh heck yeah, keep the Pauper content flowing! :D
That swarm deck is really cool! Definitely gonna build it!
15:21
"But it doesn't cost anything!'
"No, it costs *nothing*"
Pauper gameplay!!! infinite ants, infinite fun :D great stuff as always!
I really love this channel! Your games are so fun to watch!
I'm happy you enjoy them :) we have a lot of fun playing them
OMG! So good, enjoyable and funny! Great game guys!
I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
14:02 From a French viewer, this was very very disturbing, I've checked 3 times that youtube doesnt have a magical voice translate option
WAIIIT thats a quebec accent no?
@@Charles_Thiboutot-Lessard I'm looking in the comment to find an answer but it sure sound like it
I'm pretty Carl has mentioned before that he's from Quebec
Yes it is ^^@@Charles_Thiboutot-Lessard
@@Charles_Thiboutot-Lessard It totally is the quebec accent (I'm french, I can tell this isn't my accent 😂)
the mountain put into play by cleansing wildfire should be tapped ^^ 3:50
What's better than learning deck tech? learning deck tech AND Magic's history.
4:21 amazing
Carl really did a Ridin' Dirty reference...
A NEW PAUPER VEEDJEO! Love you both. Hope you’re both doing well. Carl and Thoralf are my MTG heroes.
We are doing well :) hope you enjoyed this one! Maybe see you at a paupergeddon one day :D
I'm surprised Impact Tremors doesn't make more of the decklists like Sprout or Gobbos.
I think for Goblins is because you want a higher mass of creatures to commit to the board as well as getting lethal damage with something like Goblin Grenade. I wouldn't know for Sprout Swarm as I am far less familiar with that deck as a whole. My best guess is not enough space.
@@FoggyMemoryProductions You're right, I guess I should have said for more token-based strategies. : )
Nice to see a good old gameplay vid like the old days. Sometimes simple is best 👍
From 14:02 im pretty sure carl is from Quebec :)
Im sure that confused a lot of french speaking viewers hahaha
Sounds like it... From a québécois.
Bien entendu :)
Sprout Swarm? One of my favorite cards of all time? Love it!!!
17:56 can't attack. Still summoning sickness.
Pauper decks always make for the most interesting videos, except maybe the best deck in modern series because seeing 12 post do its thing was wild
The card market boys are really something special :)
Woohoo! Gameplay video! 🎉🎉🎉 I miss the high rolls though...
We stopped rolling on camera because we saw in the retention graph that many viewers were skipping them
@@CardmarketMagic Your reactions to them were funny. Damn many viewers.
Love the Pauper content!!
Watching this I feel like every Ninja-deck player should be required to learn card tricks before being allowed to play.
carl's ninja bit is hilarious
Toffel saying his favourite part of Magic is math. Somewhere, Frank Karsten takes notice.
Good song choice! Droid Bishop is awesome.
This Sproutswarm deck is so cool 😮
These videos are so much fun even for a primary commander player.
I like the new scry animation
8:22 what’s going on with Carl’s lands? More lands appear. The tapping changes. He casts a spell he doesn’t seem to have mama open for?
this could be really good series with low cost and interesting decks
when carl stacked a bunch of dices i just stopped moving cuz i thought it would fall lmao
and omg carl speaking french hits different (where is he from?)
17:57 that goblin has summoning sickness so carl should have won match 2
This video made me realize that my old modern ninja deck is almost wholly pauper legal. Gonna try it on next pauper FNM.
Loved the video, though I'm surprised to see no sideboard interview. I find those pretty interesting.
The magic tricks were awesome, though.
I cut out the sideboarding in the more casual matches because most people just skip over that part of the video
@CardmarketMagic I understand. Just a mite disappointing, especially with how Thoralf struggled in game 1. I would have loved to see his thoughts moving into game 2 and trying to adjust to the Ninja game plan.
Je m'attendais sincèrement pas à entendre Carl parler en français dans la vidéo ! XD
Le bon accent Canadien :D
Un jour une chêne yourube francophone m'invitera a jouer et ça me fera un des plus gros plaisirs 😄
Poor Toffel having to play magic against a literal magical forest sprite.
Waaah I didnt even know that Carl was Canadian xD ! I was so surprised to hear him speaking Quebecois xD !
Just noticed droid bishop's track playing midway. Would be nice to have a tracklist somewhere in the video/description!
13:02 Isn't there a certain Goddess who has a arrow and a bow (and is the size of a mountain) who doesn't have reach?
I played pauper a couple hours ago on cockatrice with a friend.
Free program with the card images no tiggers but all the cards
Love the pauper content.
Dangit now i have wanna build thes decks. I knew about indestructible lands and the duality of the X-mancers, but never put two and two together.
Your french voice is so good and funny Carl ahah🎉🎉
