I´m amazed how people still write articles about this deck. or how they even take their time to think while playing this deck. I built it, won almost every single match and noticed how retarded it is and why everyone seems to run it. I keep finding articles about it and I think we´ve reached a point were the only one entitled to write something about it, is it´s creator. It will be fun to see the island-delver-concede sequence more often. This deck will die out of sheer boredom of the players who run it. And pauper will become what it used to be. A healthy varied format not ruled by 2 decks, where there was a space for creativity and an article was not written about 4 changes to a deck that´s been there for months, but about a new deck or a new idea to develop further. My english is bad, I know.

I’m amazed on how well this deck does over all even with your changes.

Wow, thanks everyone for giving this much feedback already. I’ll hopefully be investing in a better mic soon if I keep doing videos, sorry for the quality of these.
@Vanwilder – Some fo the changes you sugegst would be much to difficult to implement with so few lands, but if i ever added more lands I’d be sure to look into other options. The only card that I admitedly forgot was E. Truth, though I often prefer the method of countering their spells as they go off to attempting to remove the goblins after the fact, hence the Dispels and Hydroblasts.
@Wyrath – Yeah, we had quite a few people misplay pretty badly against us, the Daze play in the first match being the most puzzling. Controlling Delver builds might be something to explore in a future article.
@newplan – Thanks for pointing out some of the more subtle misplays. The Sparksmith debate was pretty heated between us and I still tend to agree that countering him is generally the best course of action in general and probably there. As for the sideboard choices it isn’t very often that I would want both Curfew and Curse. Curfew is generally best against Infect since it doesn’t target and can be used after they cast a few pump spells. Curse is generally against the other aggressive decks with larger creatures where Curfew wouldn’t be as good. Both being useful against Goblins though is a good point, and E. Truth might be getting the nod in some of those slots soon. As for not having bad/good match-ups, I simply meant that it doesn’t have any stupidly lopsided match-ups either way, not that there aren’t decks that have a slight edge either way. Our opponents misplayed pretty badly the first two matches, and the deck is excellent at taking advantage of the poor play of others.
@Cock Horse – Sorry about the quality, hopefully getting a new mic soon. Intervene vs. Turn Aside is close, but I think it will be more common that you want to counter a pump spell from Infect than a spell targeting one of your lands.
@apaulogy – I’m glad someone made that pun, even if it wasn’t me

Video sounds like you’re living on a train station. It’s not that hard to make videos with good sound.

I like your conundrum of thinking twice about Think Twice o.0
