@@xxhellspawnedxx Excellent explanation. I couldn't believe it when I first heard it either...but there it was, one of those flukes of the rules system. Not nearly abused enough.
prufrock1977 it’s actually why I initially built my Lin Sivvi EDH deck: Rebels can grab Bound in Silence from library and put it directly into play, allowing me to shut down hexproof attackers (my meta was experiencing some Narset troubles, which was soon taken apart when they themselves saw how much not being able to play sucked).
Professor, I know you channel for less than a week, and it became my favorite channel on TH-cam! And I don't even play Magic, never even heard before! Keep the great Professor!!!
If you don't want to spend money on cards right now, you can still learn and play Magic with Magic Arena. It's a great online game implementation of Magic, check it out when you have time.
The 1 consultation is that it is very unlikely to reach modern prices and save for a few decks will be under $100 It has sucked watching gush shoot up in price so quickly
Professor I may only watch like 1/50 of your videos, but when I do boy do I enjoy it. Though I may not watch you often I respect you and love what you do for the community. Have a good day.
I enjoyed evil Prof. Hope to see him again, mirror facial hair and all. Ps professor the door knocker style really does suit your face it looks really good. I just wanted to say that because I’ve seen many negative comments about your person when you grow out your beard and I think that’s really shitty of those people.
Prof, I just wanted to say this video was really well made. A fun little "plot" with theatrics, great deck breakdown as expected (focusing on the "feel" rather than just tech), and using this build to share the MTGO announcement instead of just reporting on it. Throwing in the signed card for new Patrons is also inspired. I love this new character and hope to see him again. Keep up the great work!
You shouldn't be worried about what he means, you should be worried about the fact that Pilgrim costs 23 cents each and a playset costs 92 cents but he labelled it as 46 cents. Well we all know he's an English major, no harm.
This is absolutely hilarious and still as informative as usual. Love the showmanship and how much you have been ramping things up every video! Love it Prof....if that is your REAL name?
I was planning on buying a few pauper decks to teach my younger cousins how to play over the holidays. Between this and mono black ponza I now have 2 ways to show them just how sadistic they can be in Magic. They'll love it!Keep up the good work Professor!
Stygian Gliscor Yes! Please, Professor, I beseech you: get the D&D crowd to shut up about the supposed subsuming of Magic cosmology into D&D's! ... ... ... ... I'm a little ticked off about all the dumb arguments it keeps causing.
Dude, I love this new character you've created! His whole demeanor and attitude just clicks with my style of play perfectly. I will definitely be building this deck, and I may even try it out in the next Modern tourney, if I can arrange it. Been watching your videos for years, love the work you do, and this just kicks it up a notch for me. I hope Tolerian State continues to seep its way into the cracks of the Tolerian foundation, and give all your students a voice for the dark side.
Well after that intro I simply HAVE to give this video a like! Had a lot of fun with this one, thinking of trying to start getting some friends in my college's gaming club into Pauper. Most of us are really into Commander, some into Modern, but I want to get us playing Pauper now!
if you want to netdeck, 20 bucks is almost expensive in this format. if you take an afternoon off you can brew a pretty competitive deck for 2 dollars. no reason not to try.
I'm in the process of making an Azorius Toolbox with shared lands and a bunch of other decks built around them (Spirits, Control, Tron, Mill) and now you've given me a pauper deck. I love you so much. Come back to SCGCon!
Well, now I know what deck _I'm_ getting to play my friends this Christmas! Oh, and by the way, the scripting on this episode was absolutely amazing! I'd love to see more TSU introductory classes held here at TCC.
Thank you for putting the list in the description! I'm not a fan of the theatrics anymore (not hatin, just statin) but I love your deck choices! This wasnt even on my radar until this video
I love videos like this, where it's obvious that you're enjoying the hell out of it. (I mean, either that or you're a stellar actor. Or both.) So much fun to watch. Also, competitive Pauper leagues are going to be a thing?! YES! Time to buy up all those staples.
Oh yeah! Your alter-ego is even cooler than normal Prof. Hmm, but he needs a name. Prof Who Grades Without Using A Curve? Prof Who Eshews Partial Credit? Phred? No matter, another great video, with a twist worthy of Robert Bloch. Keep up the good work, sir!
Thanks for teaching me so much about magic and introducing me to all these different formats I didn't know before. The State College is a great idea and needs to return lol.
Hell yes. I used to love Pauper so much. I'm just kind of bummed they banned Cloudpost, Izzet Post was my favorite deck. But I understand why they did.
This intro would make Evil Spock maniacally laugh in his grave (it's pun to "turn in one's grave" idiom) Very good joke professor, Live long and prosper
I was just thinking what deck I would build next, Brago or Norrin, but a signed copy of reality acid would really make my Brago deck pop. Thanks for the inspiration prof!
This list is absolutely diabolical and I love it! There's nothing more that I enjoy in magic than watching my opponents squirm as they endure pure unadulterated agony.
Haha I thought that when Tolarian Community College saw the stack of cards, he was gonna get upset about the deck because he hated playing against it. I hope Tolarian State university and its proffesor are mainstays in your channel. For example, when that Leovold EDH deck was uploaded. Nice skit prof :)
Watching this video in 2022 and 2 things. the profs suit is amazing, second reality acid was my signed card I got from Patreon and had no idea what to do with it until today.
It’s 2024 Created this deck but adjusted some cards to what I have but kept the main key cards Lost hope with the deck when playing with friends cause maybe wasn’t used to it yet. Decided to pop into a local pauper comp and then saw it for all its glory. Brilliant I tell ya, played against an Artifact deck. Went from 5 lands to 0 lands in a giffy The instructor not professor indeed
Reality Acid? Well I feel old, I had a mono blue 'acid wash' deck back when Planiar Chaos was in standard, I'd drop Tidespout Tyrant and bounce a set of Reality Acids around. I was told very specifically I wasn't allowed to use that deck anymore where I was playing at the time.
Awesome. Just Awesome. Awesome outfit (sharp, prof!), awesome aspect swap, awesome evil goatee + hair combo, awesome plot and plot twists... Prof i Love your work and i love you. I wish i could help your patreon and get a signed card but all I can do is share my thoughts, hope you appreciate nearly as much. Thanks for your content
im calling the "state university" version of the professor "The Instructor". i hope the instructor makes a comeback in a future episode
Exeledus Prince lmfao I love this
It's perfect because you only need a Master's degree to become an Instructor at a state school.
I was about to suggest Rosseforp, which is Professor spelled backwards, but I like your idea too.
He's a tutor.
@@coreysierchio4650... A cruel Tutor.

@@matthewosborne8384 Indeed. Land Destruction, Seinfeld (aka Oops All Counters), 2-Mana-Top-End (or Hyper Aggro), FTK/0TK (First/0 Turn Kill) and Stax/Prison are elementary.

I love reality acid in my Brago deck. Don’t forget, when coming back to the battlefield, they don’t target, so you can nail those pesky boggles.

See his deck tech on Leovold, Emissary of Trest. Now THAT'S evil. Also, that's the reason why Leovold ended up getting banned in Commander.

Its meant to tutor acid. But i saw what you meant

You shouldn't be worried about what he means, you should be worried about the fact that Pilgrim costs 23 cents each and a playset costs 92 cents but he labelled it as 46 cents. Well we all know he's an English major, no harm.
There are commons like journey that are auras
he plays crystallization for that reason

I'm a little ticked off about all the dumb arguments it keeps causing.
I agree! Please review the book! I think if Wizards can sell these books successfully, they may branch out into other media such as an animated series
As a lover of both games, I too would love a review of this!
Competitive Pauper Players can Participate in events for the Possibility of Participating in the Pro tour?
Positively preposterous!
That's a tongue twister!
Prof, I was smiling the whole time while watching. This is the kinda stuff I come here for. Keep up the good work!

Built it. Love it. Won our FNM tonight with it. Went undefeated. As always, enjoy the content and keep up the good work.
You always find new ways to make your videos fun and interesting. Great job prof! I don’t even play pauper but I loved this video
My Reality Acid deck runs: 1x Serrated Arrows, 4x Brainstorm, 2x Counterspell, 3x Aviary Mechanic, 3x Lone Missionary, 3x Sunlance, 3x Momentary Blink, 3x Oblivion Ring, 1x Faith's Fetters, 4x Mulldrifter, 4x Kor Skyfisher, 4x Dream Stalker and 3x Reality Acid - same mana base as the Prof's list.
oh sweet, my first deck was an acid reality and dream stalker deck. Nice to see the prof making a video about it.
It's funny the professor wore purple and green when he turned evil
Nega-Prof from TSU is my favorite Prof. Also that reversed intro jingle is just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Feels like the rivalry between football teams, loving the duality in this vid
Oh yeah! Your alter-ego is even cooler than normal Prof. Hmm, but he needs a name. Prof Who Grades Without Using A Curve? Prof Who Eshews Partial Credit? Phred? No matter, another great video, with a twist worthy of Robert Bloch. Keep up the good work, sir!
Someone else said it should be "Instructor" and I think that it's fitting.
I can't wait for ultimate masters, only to see what cards get "demoted" to common.
Scroll Rack! I want to fit my book sh...scroll racks with them!
Great as always! How many of you noticed how much went into this video with the prof growing a beard and removing it for just this video!
Tolarian State University:
"We teach the lessons,
you make the World pay."
I appreciate the effort put forth for the bearded evil professor, vs the clean-shaven normal professor.
Looking GREAT today Professor!

I dont normally like a video but man that was next level. The flavor was just so good. Keep making fun videos and ill keep watching
The only thing diabolical in this video is how little screen time that pink jacket combo got. Hot damn, Prof.
This has got to be the greatest patreon advertisement I've ever seen.
that jab at ultimate masters was beautiful. well done.
Thanks for teaching me so much about magic and introducing me to all these different formats I didn't know before. The State College is a great idea and needs to return lol.
Love the content
I’ve never played magic before but I’m trying to start and you are very helpful for me to learn costs and how to play on a budget ( also ratings )
Hey I know you posted months ago, but if you have any questions about magic just dm me whenever you want
Yes! Still ahead of the curve! Made this deck a month ago and did a video on it, but UG
Even evil prof throws shade at ultimate masters. This was a great video.
excellent video!!! love the switch up from good to evil so well thought out!
Tolaria State University was where I learned how to build my "salted earth" Zurgo Helmsmasher deck with 30 boardwipes.
Hell yes. I used to love Pauper so much. I'm just kind of bummed they banned Cloudpost, Izzet Post was my favorite deck. But I understand why they did.
This reminds me of a friend's Liquimetal Coating Hate Deck in SoM standard era. Looks like it's time to make some Pauper stuffs.
Absolutely best video in ages, please do more of this!!
Solemnity also tends to fit nicely since you don't usually use the vanishing part anyway since you bounce acid and it stops posion/budget token cards
This intro would make Evil Spock maniacally laugh in his grave (it's pun to "turn in one's grave" idiom)
Very good joke professor, Live long and prosper
Looking good Instructor. Lovebthat card and played it with bounce . Keep up the good work
Prof you definitely need to put up some Tolaria State University merch on the student store!
Can we get an update to that modern mono red burn deck tech from yesteryear, Prof? Love everything you do and keep up the great work!
Crystallization price at 5:25- good to see that Tolarian Community College math program excels above Tolarian State! :)
Reality Acid was a key part of my Brago, King Eternal EDH deck. It was super fun.
Gotta' love the Umbridge aesthetic with the pink suit~
I was just thinking what deck I would build next, Brago or Norrin, but a signed copy of reality acid would really make my Brago deck pop. Thanks for the inspiration prof!
I definitely want to see more of Tollaria State University. Those folks really know how to have fun at magic. >:)
This is beautiful. This deck is what will get me into pauper, I just LOVE destroying lands.
This list is absolutely diabolical and I love it! There's nothing more that I enjoy in magic than watching my opponents squirm as they endure pure unadulterated agony.

Definitely one of my favorite cards. Too bad I've previously supported prof at the signed level, I'd love a signed reality acid.

Brilliant I tell ya, played against an Artifact deck. Went from 5 lands to 0 lands in a giffy
The instructor not professor indeed
For forks sake now i want to enroll in Tolarian State University.
Good LORD, that deck is hysterically visious!!🤣🤣🤣
