- What was the best Pauper deck ever? We made our community vote for one deck to represent each year since 2010, recruited 16 Pauper Experts to play a 5-round tournament, and now we bring you each match of the Top 8. Felicia is playing Thoralf and either Goblins or Elves could be knocked out of the tournament.

Licking the hydro blast and sticking it on your forehead is a power move
I had to laugh so hard when he countered with his head 😂
You know Pauper - and these two decks - are a wild environment when both players keep a 1 land hand and are happy to do so.
I mean elf wasnt happy there he just did it
@@mark1A100 Elves was fine and almost always keeps one landers in pauper. The deck only runs 13 lands. You just want one to get the mana dorks to board
Elves vs. Goblins is such a classic of MtG.
I'm not surprised it took 12 minutes to get resolved
Yes that was the long one - good game.
Goblins and Elves are here for a good time, not for a long time.
@@outputcoupler7819 Good things, when short, are twice as good.
it took 30 yrs and it's still not resolved
Part of me was hoping Elves would win so the finals would be a rematch of that one time Andrea and Toffel had to build budget decks in 20 minutes at an event
One of the best videos they’ve ever made
Oh my god
Yeah, that video is a classic. "I'm buying 4 sol rings."
I like how the semifinals consisted of 2 old decks vs each other and 2 new decks vs each other representing the best of 2 eras of pauper. There is something wildly satisfying having the oldest pauper deck in the tournament and the newest facing off in the finals.
Scripted!
12 minute Best of 3... I feel like I know how this one is going to go.
Avenge those squirrels, Felicia!
That Hydro Blast play.. that right there is why we love Thoralf.
I really like the entire cast of this channel, Felicia's been such a good addition
I could watch Felicia and Thoralf having fun playing Magic for hours. They're both radiating excitement thoughout the whole video, it's an absolute pleasure to witness; also great chemistry! :]
the excitement these two have is infectious!! i had a smile on my face the whole video. really hope we get to see more felicia in the future!
I know, right? They were having lots of fun. Loved the video
Felicia is a GREAT addition to the channel and I'd love to see her more often. I know she's primarily a pauper player but I'd love to see her doing more things on the channel since she has great screen presence and chemistry with with the rest of the crew
Huge fan of this series - I’ve been wrong about every matchup but have loved seeing each match!
How could you be correct?
There's a 14 years old deck, with no banned cards, that is in the finals now ...
I really want to see this series with Legacy.
We love lighting bolt in this house
babe wake up card market posted another pauper tournament video!
Is it me, or Felicia is in every video very adorable :-) Great series as always. You are doing great job guys, keep going please! :-)
She is! It's a mystery how she effortly does it :)
I knew it was an uphill battle for Elves but WOW that game 3 hand for Goblins was good for keeping the early stuff off the board.
Felicia and Thoffel have great chemistry. Best match so far.
Again 1 am in Japan. After the gym watching card market has been a great end of the day. Thank you guys, rooting for the goblins!
Finally, magic as Garfield intended
Thoralf is too funny. Love him man and thanks for all the joys guys!
GO FELICIA!!! Super excited to see her getting to the finals.
Excited for the Legacy version next!
We'll unfortunately probably never going to do a legacy version 😕 we are not experts in that format in the way we are with modern/pauper/pioneer/standard. We'd probably missplay through most of our rounds and you all deserve better than to have to watch that :P
I want to make a non mtg comment. Felica's top is amazing and i want one myself now.
I wonder if anyone's ever done like a lore video about the history of Goblins in magic? And if someone has, perhaps Elves someday?
I mean it's the classic creature matchup. So much of a classic that the very first match of the Gathering duel text they did involving creature types was elves versus goblins.
Very neat, i didn't know that
@theelectricant98 The two foils that came with them were Ambushed Commander for elves and Siege Gang Commander for the goblins, if I recall, and it came out in 07 during Lorwyn. I actually remembered my LGS pointed out that they were not standard legal. Although the real first duel deck was the Champion versus Creator deckmasters, which was a product that had World champ John Finkel v. Andrew Garfield. It's actually where the only foil version of Necropotence with the original art came from. Just some fun facts for you.
Bold move playing a “None of Your Business” in the main deck there Thoralf
What a blistering game of creature combat.
nothing but clean and classic play. your channel is so lovely, please never stop.
It's clear they are both playing their favorite tribes.
And so surprised that those decks are old and still pack a punch.
I'm curious, when you do the cut aways to explain your plays, do you film them after the game? Or do you step aside during the game to film it?
They've talked about it before. They shoot those after the match, but I think they take quick notes during the match to record their thoughts
very nice match, I loved it
Well played! This will be an interesting finals for sure!🎉
I know I say this a lot but I LOVE Goblins so much. Many of the cards in the deck were among the first Magic cards I ever owned when I got into it last year, and it was the perfect tribe to get into the game with.
Fantastic battles. Completely called it wrong, thought elves would smash it.
Very entertaining and love the strategy aside chat to help explain the reason for the plays
Go goblins and Felicia in the final!
I absolutely love this series.
Pretty crazy for such an old deck to perform this well
Wow this was over so quick 😂
Can't wait for the finals !
Love the series!
Great series!
Ah the classic matchup of the first duel decks.
Goblins vs Elves! It's the magic duel of my childhood! :) #teamGoblins
Yay, Felicia! I love Toffel but she's my favorite to win it all now!
I could watch Thoralf and Felicia play any time. They have such good chemistry
more best deck ever series please!
goblins vs elves is the oldest rivalry in all of MTG! Love to see it
Heck, since month youtube stopped giving me your notifications !
Loved this whole series! Does anyone know where I can get the decks lists, as…dare I say it…I’m going to start playing pauper 🎉🎉🎉
I love this series
Great games and great players!
I'd love to see more tribal vs tribal duels!
Oh boy here we go
I'm so happy to see the deck i hate so much lose !
i love how all that glitters affinity is ATG which is so close to ATOG
Was not expecting a 12 minute 3 game set, I thought this would be a one way stomp because of how short it is
Not a pauper player but love this series, and love seeing Felicia! Definitely have her on more. Does anyone know if she does MTG content of her own?
She does not, she's just a friend of ours that we invite on the show, not an official content creator of her own :) maybe kne day
Toffel is such a delight. That forehead hydro blast lol
Let's go, gobbos!
It's possible my old Elf deck is still sleeved up in storage somewhere... My childhood stompy deck... good times. Almost a shame to see them run-over by the red tide. Good games though.
It's funny that you show colossal dreadmaw in the intro when we know that it's banned in pauper or every deck would just be 60 of him
NOOOOO!!! I was hoping Elves would take it. Oh well, we can only get so lucky.
I’m going with goblins on this round
I'm curious about the unkicked bushwhacker in game 2. I feel like going all out would've been the best play, even not knowing Thoralf's hand at the time. Cause it seemed like that turn was do or die. Was it because of the Timberwatch + Quirion?
It was already over, but they make a point not to scoop until it's very clear to the viewer (who they assume is fairly new to the game) that it's over. Saving the team for blocks at least showcased to the viewer why even then it wasn't going to be enough to survive the elf onslaught, vs. him just attacking and dying on the crackback (which would have left some newer viewers confused why he didn't leave up blockers). There was no ideal play pattern here, so they showed the pattern that clearly demonstrated why elf was going to win the game.
Will yall ever make the best Legacy or Vintage deck series? That would be very fun.
Probably not, unfortunately. We are not legacy or vintage experts the way we are for the other formats, we wouldn't want to publish a tournament with a bunch of missplays :P you all deserve better than that
Dude watching Goblins vs Elves... a freaking CLASSIC match up. This was even a duel deck set up at one point wasnt it?
Not these exact lists, but yes :) it's one of the most classic Duel decks
I have a feeling Toffel likes MTG quite a bit. He seems to be enjoying himself :)
That's why I removed Sylvan ranger, island and Distand melody for Winding way and Jaspera sentinel with side 4 blue elemental spell and 3 hydroblast
I saw the video time first and was suprised it was soo short, then I saw Goblins and was soo long.
Red deck wins!
Goblin Sparksmith seems like a completely reasonable card thats not at all doing a 3 for 1 every time it hits the board.
9:00 the biggest disrespect ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thoralf licking his cards hell yeah
Felicia ran that like all the best red decks that have rushed me down over the last 3 decades.
gobbbbo! i saw more people voted for elves but i knew smol li'l uglies would win!
My money's on goblins- can't wait to see how this game goes!
Edit: wow, that was BRUTAL. I love how aggressively these pauper games play out!
i feel like this is one of those scenarios where the finals was in the semifinals, i think affinity will roll the floor w/ gobbos
Great games can’t wait to see goblins take down affinity kinda like the modern games
Goblins vs elves really are like either the goblins overwhelm you really quick or the elves stabilize after turn 4 and overwhelm the goblins lol
Let’s go! Goblins for the win! I’m rooting for you guys.
habt ihr alles am selben tag gefilmt? ihre garderobe sieht teilweise gleich aus 🙃
LETS GO FELICIA!!!!! My favorite part was when you slaughtered all those poor elves 🤪
I love these tribal duels also shes great love to she more of her(sorry I forgot her name Im commenting at start of video lol)
thoralfs instant speed concede game 1 was hilarious
I'm so happy ❤
Three games in ten minutes. Pauper is fast
This elves deck reminds me so much of the kitchen table elves deck my friends would play when I was in elementary school! I remember thinking wellwisher was a broken card that shouldn't be allowed. I mean it's so much life! How are you supposed to beat that?!
Wellwisher was one of the cards that taught me every deck needs removal, still can't play a deck with a solitaire plan.
Interesting how no player faced each other twice yet didn't switch decks, because each player won exactly once in the quarters. Guess the finals can't happen because we ran out of match-ups.
Unfortunate and bad luck for the elves. Too bad because i really wanted to see them somehow win this. Maybe should have mulligan'd more aggressively during game 3 to get hydroblast?
Ah forgot about Sparksmith when voting. Shoulda stayed with my initial vote 😅
both are good archetypes.
It is a way to watch the series before the top 8??
Yes :) all the matches are in the pinned comment and description
I keep waiting for Thoralf to win with his Pauper Elves...
El clásico
YES! YES! YES!
Thoralf has the moves
I love it
Goblin is very good against creature based decks, in every format I guess
I thought there might be more elves than removal but sparksmith and sideboard put pay to that idea.
I'm SOOOO sad Elves lost... Legolas would be disappointed...
Not sure why people voted for Elves in the poll. I hear Elves don't like removal. And i hear Goblins have lots of removal.
This match justed proved that.
Please see game 2 of this match. It was all about the fact if the gobos can stick a spark smith on the field before the elves get a timberwatch elf or a hydroblast.
@marcocamposaguilar9681 I saw all 3 games. Goblins lost game 2 mostly because they didn't have removal.
I didn't expect Elves to win, but I voted Elves because I wanted them to
I can’t believe Goblin’s are going to finals they gonna be stomped
