I wish you explained the deck tech of each deck at the beginning. I also really enjoy when you explain why you made a certain decision, but sometimes because the camera is in the exact same position, it almost feels like you are talking to us while the game is still happening instead of doing a side interview (like a reality show or something). Hope the feedback helps, love the content.
I love how much effort goes into producing these videos, Tommy goes above and beyond with the editing. Every interation that happened felt like Tommy was making into a movie with the effects. Especially in these drawn out legacy videos that are board stalls for so long.
The anti spoiler screen is a cool touch, but you may want to look into how the TH-cam algorithm affects it. I’ve heard from a lot of creators that because your watch time will just end at 2/3rds of your video TH-cam will punish you for that
@@MengusWorkshop A suggestion to avoid that outcome, Another channel i watch Neon Mushroom will often just play the third game out for funsies if the first two games are won by the same person. I think that could also help with anti spoiler (if you're ok with extra editing that is :) )
@@naton4241 They could also fill in time by showing the decks, in a deck-profile kind of way. That wouldn't really need much editing as an additional game would, I believe. Anyways, Tommi's win caught me by surprise, the screen worked.
@@naton4241 I've also seen (from Sneaky's lol costreams) the editor will add a bunch of unrelated gameplay or broadcast that's still related or interesting but fills the space of "missing" games. I don't know whether you guys would have relevant "b-roll" as easily and I don't know how well it actually does for retention over there but something I like it.
Thanks a lot to these comments. We cut that part now. The video didn’t have a great start stats wise and now we understand why. Appreciate a lot all the help you guys give us 😊
Thing I really love: how clean all of mengu's board is and how clean and smooth he is when he taps/draws/shuffles. it feels like watching a stage magician or a Vegas dealer the way he handles the physical cards.
@@dingdongs5208 Plenty of other pros aren't as clean with it. Like, it's totally clear what the board state and stuff, they just don't make everything quite as neat.
I play this match up a lot with my friends. Augur of bolas helps out big time for the early aggression, and playing 2 breath weapon in the main / 1 side helps as well. Galvanic discharge is definetely sweet as some creatures can grow above 3 toughness. Keeping a mystic around and protecting it at all costs is also something to consider as you can slowly stabilize. It's a pretty fun matchup overall and it was great to hear Mengu's insights and decisions
Spoiler I love the idea of the anti spoiler screen. Several times while watching an mtg match I could tell who won beforehand just because of how long the video is. So that’s a really nice touch.
It's a great idea, sadly TH-cam decides to punish it because the algorithm just detects people leaving before the video finishes - and it might penalize the video OR the channel because "hey everyone left at this minute mark!"
Theres a league of legends dude that I watch that adds like an hour of a picture of a plant at the end of his video that says "anti spoiler plant" for this exact reason and I agree. His name is cadreal
A good friend of mine and I play this matchup quite a lot. (Izzet for me, W for him.) Your game played out exactly as ours typically does. Though I think Discharge may be better than Bolt in the unknown matchup, I think Bolt is better in this one. Bolt face twice for lethal would have been a line open to you. Of course, you might have lost either way, but its a line that Mono W can have trouble playing against. It felt good to know that I would have made most of the same choices as you made. Matchup is tough for Izzet! I think the reason is simple: it is a losing value proposition to 1-for-1 remove creatures that draw cards on ETB.
I did not expect this outcome at all! Great games though, it's interesting you liked the galvanic discharge so much you actually brought it for the video
banger episode, so many moments. "I'll cast into the fire your two lunarchs - Thats illegal" "I have three cards but they count as six - What does that mean?" "Nah I already had it"
The anti spoiler screen was a nice touch! I wonder what Tommi thinks of the new Jund gardens variant with writhing chrysalis that has been going around
The anti spoiler screen is a good concept, but there are better ways to make sure viewers watch the whole video without being spoiled. Some might have already recommended playing 3 games regardless of the result, but you can also have short segments before the games start to introduce the decks, their gameplan, and key cards in the matchup. Great games and can't wait for the next one!
The things that TH-camrs nowadays have to do for reaching the 10 minute checkpiont...jokes aside, it's a great idea to avoid those spoilers while watching the veedeos. Nice one BTW! Can we get a Premodern veedeo soon? Love you guys!
The two pauper decks I currently have sleeved up! White weenie makes me wish I were playing caw-gates instead whenever I discard strands, so rooting for UR Skred.
Video some how corrupted with the anti-spoiler screen, worked fine when i initially watched it some hours ago. Edit: Woot woot we back! Thanks Mengu n Tommy!
My sideboard against monoW is: Out: 3x galvanic discharge In: 1x fanged flames 1x breath weapon 1x annul (for journey to nowhere) I find i don't like killing their creatures with 1-for-1 removal because you just lose the value game, and if you manage to stick a threat you can just win
anti spoiler screen is great guys! but be careful as that will destroy the video retention and take you out of the algorithm…. i love this channel and want it to succeed more than i care abt the spoiler screen… i can always just not look at the progress bar if i dont wanna get spoiled!
Love your videos! I have to say it was a big surprise to see you were at the Flesh and Blood Calling Lyon, did you enjoy it and are you gonna play more FaB (and maybe even feature it in a veedeo at some point maybe ;) )?
You probably want to be careful about how you do the spoiler screen. If I remember correctly, TH-cam penalizes videos where users leave midway through. I know that I didn't see this video on the channel's main page and had to go to the detailed video list to see it. So, it may be wise to fill the spoiler screen with something else interesting. When Mengu played Frank on Creativity vs Burn on the Cardmarket channel (Orvar ftw :P) Carl had 15 minutes of the two of you talking about the matchup, which was definitely good enough to keep me watching. Maybe you don't want to do that specifically, but I'm sure you can come up with something you do like in the future!
Whoops, you used the YT studio editor the wrong way round and cut the video rather than the "anti-spoiler" section. It isn't the most intuitive app to use, so understandable. I can't remember if you can undo this edit or if you're going to have to reupload the original video.
Please guys can someone tell me, why are people playing the eagles from lotr in mono white? I know plaincycling is good, but they cost way to much with a pathetic payoff, are they really worth playing?
I just enjoy those little „magic-talk with mengu“ moments like when you talked about the galvanic discharge. Greetings from austria!
Yeah we ll do more of them!

Tommy and Mengu, you two are slowly but surely becoming my favorite duo for Magic! Keep up the great work, love watching you two play!
Thanks!

Opening up youtube and finding my newest favorite channel with a new veedeo? And in the BEST FORMAT?
Such a blessing!
SAAMEEEE!!!! so hyped!!

First game on turn 3 Mengu plays an extra land. It made for a closer game though 😄
Oh nooooooo

Love these pauper videos! Especially with these two amazing decks (my favourite is mono white with izzet being a close second)
Anti-video-spoiler comment
Anti-spoiler screen needs to be 10 minutes of Andrea or Tommy relaxing and drinking espresso
I'd love to watch a "mirror" match. UR Skred vs U Delver. Love your Pauper Veedeos!
I did not expect this outcome at all! Great games though, it's interesting you liked the galvanic discharge so much you actually brought it for the video
I love watching Mengu streams but the ones Tommy edits are the best.
For sure ! One takes a few hours the other takes a lot more!
banger episode, so many moments. "I'll cast into the fire your two lunarchs - Thats illegal" "I have three cards but they count as six - What does that mean?" "Nah I already had it"
The video is just 9:25 of "anti-spoiler screen"... What am I missing?
Yeahhhh
Oops we made a big mistake. Fixing it asap.
The best paper magic channel
Great games! Super fun to watch. Keep up the great work
The insights of you guys are great really. Would love to see Tommy break down some of his plays too (not this deck of course).
Day automatically gets better when mengu pulls out UR 😩
Tommy always has a perfect starting hand, so good
So fun with the alters!!
Cool!
I cant wait to see the Gardens game❤❤
That spoiler screen is genius
The anti spoiler screen was a nice touch! I wonder what Tommi thinks of the new Jund gardens variant with writhing chrysalis that has been going around
Tommi likes more BG Gardens that we played here some weeks ago, still similiar list
New Mengus Workshop VEEDEO!!!!!! Instantly made my day better :)

I need to see closeups for those DBZ alters!
I Just loved the anti spoiler screen idea
love the anti spoiler screen, good stuff!
Loving the pauper content!
I got the feeling that burn might be the worst matchup for Izzet Terror
Had this match up this weekend! It was tough but I did it!

I love this content Mr Mengu
Enjoyed that game a lot
My sideboard against monoW is:
Out: 3x galvanic discharge
In: 1x fanged flames
1x breath weapon
1x annul (for journey to nowhere)
I find i don't like killing their creatures with 1-for-1 removal because you just lose the value game, and if you manage to stick a threat you can just win
Good point
I would love to see a UR skred guide from you someday mengu! Its a very strong and fun deck 🙂
I did it for channelfireball some months ago most of the deck is still the same
@@MengusWorkshop Thank you, I will check that out!
Call it tommy's workshop the way he worked mengu😤#teamtommy
White in pauper is ❤ rooting for Tommy here
Welcome to Tommi’s Workshop
I LOVE PAUPER!!!!!!!
Pauper is the best format!
Curious about the outcome of the match and if it will affect what Mengu decides to play at Paupergeddon!
You guys need to sell shirts that say, "My hand is perfect". :)
Amazing game honestly
super fun!
In my experience the match-up is really bad for White Weenie, but Tommy has drawn really well in the match.
anti spoiler screen is great guys! but be careful as that will destroy the video retention and take you out of the algorithm…. i love this channel and want it to succeed more than i care abt the spoiler screen… i can always just not look at the progress bar if i dont wanna get spoiled!

No the spoiler screen is at the end of the video, after the game. Hope this helps!
@@drakehammon7676I click on the video and it’s literally 9 minutes 25 seconds. Don’t know how telling me it’s not “helps”. 😂
Uh oh, looks like it got messed up recently (looks like it was fine at release).
Oops we made a big mistake. Fixing it asap.
Love your videos! I have to say it was a big surprise to see you were at the Flesh and Blood Calling Lyon, did you enjoy it and are you gonna play more FaB (and maybe even feature it in a veedeo at some point maybe ;) )?
Yes! I ll play a fab veedeo soon here too
@@MengusWorkshop Awesome, looking forward to it!
Nice video as always! When js paupergeddon again ?
22-23-24 november in rome
@3:11 why does the counterspell text in bottom right start floating like that lol
Do you like the land affinity creature cards in pauper?
Spoiler!
Love this matchup guys! but I must say my White Weenies deck usually gets stomped by Terrors! way to go Tommy
Spoiler
Commenting to try to balance the algorithm because of the spoiler screen lol. Great video!
Can we see a pauper meme deck video. Like red green land distruction, i have a pretty good deck list, vs dimir mill or something of that nature.
We have mono red tron next!
@@MengusWorkshop I love tron looking forward to it
3:10 did mengu play 2 lands in a turn?
Whew, I'm glad I avoided spoilers for this match, it left me at the edge of my seat
Anyway, See you later I suppose xd
Oops we made a big mistake. Fixing it asap.
Is there a reason to play breath weapon over fiery cannonade? Wouldn't it be slightly better to play cannonade since it doesnt hit the commodores
Monored plays a lot of porates
I'd play at least 1 main breath weapon and 2 sides, in this kuldotha and winnie meta
why is the video just the anti spoiler screen?
Oops we made a big mistake. Fixing it asap.
@@MengusWorkshop thank you for fixing it! big fan of the channel, and I enjoy your mtg online videos a lot.
You should upload more Pauper ^_^
We have decided to do once every two weeks pauper!

@@MengusWorkshop haha was so confused I was like “wow this anti-spoiler is so good, I can’t see what happens even if I wanted to!”
Is it me or is the sound pretty off sync? Anyways great video as always
Is there a world where if youre playing galvanic discharge in UR you play other cards like Tune the Narrative and Aetherspike also???
No these are too bad
I think there is a mistake in the title of the video, you have written "paper" instead of pauper
Whoops, you used the YT studio editor the wrong way round and cut the video rather than the "anti-spoiler" section. It isn't the most intuitive app to use, so understandable. I can't remember if you can undo this edit or if you're going to have to reupload the original video.

Nice veedeo
PAUPER!!!

Spacchettato 😂

Is there a story behind the Dragon Ball novices?
A dragon shattered 7 balls around the world and 4 novice inspector need to find them to save the world
Sorry tommi but something must have gone wrong when cutting the anti spoiler screen out, becuase for me the entire video is JUST anti spoiler screen
It was my fault! Tommi would never 😅
As much as I love the anti spoiler screen, it will affect the Watch time percentage and youtube might punish the channel
No veedeo mengu
Please guys can someone tell me, why are people playing the eagles from lotr in mono white? I know plaincycling is good, but they cost way to much with a pathetic payoff, are they really worth playing?
Getting the plains that puts the +1+1 counter is nice
Dats way to anti-spoiler, lol
Oops we made a big mistake. Fixing it asap.
What kind of weird cult is going on here

Just an anti-spoiler screen for me. I wanted to watch a Pauper veedeo :(
