Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great meme cowboy Wheeler is streaming CanLander tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Wheeler.'
Pattern-Rector was a deck I always saw in EDH when I first started. It functioned the same way, but there was no Protien Hulk. At the time it was one of the most powerful decks I had seen. Now I want to build it, but we've got Protien Hulk now.
Let’s talk about X baby, let’s talk about blue and green, let’s talk about all the good decks, and the bad decks, that may be. Let’s talk about x. Let’s talk about x. Let’s talk about x.
I remember putting Rancor on Academy Rector back during Urza's Block. Fun times. Back before Cabal Therapy and Pernicious Deed existed, and you were sacking your Rector to Phyrexian Ghoul or Goblin Bombardment. When City of Brass was basically necessary for three or more colors.
AHHHH I'M SO HYPE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE FOR SO LONG Big sad that I have to go to lab rn but I'm watching as soon as I get out!!!!! You all rock!
Will Earthshaker giant (from upcoming game night) be another craterhoof in the deck, or does lacking haste hold it back to much. Aside from that it's better than the pigs.
I think Ben misspoke when explaining Illusionary Mask (easy to do, the card's an absolute mess). You have to pay X, where X is equal to or MORE than the card's mana cost (and includes colour requirements). It also has a ruling that makes you note down the amount and types of mana spent on the ability to prevent you from cheating.
16:51 I've been looking for a primer or something that goes over most of the ways you can combo with sandy B cause I like the idea of this deck and I haven't been around highlander long enough to get beaten the hundreds of different ways you guys are used to. Like, it took me so long to figure out how to loop seige rhino because I've never played with Saffi Eriksdotter and didn't know that was needed for the etb loops. I knew about the melira/visier of remedies + murderous redcap/Kitchen finks loops but any big ones I'm missing or other things about sandy b I can find out?
important thing they didn't mention about using prime speaker vannifar to do the chain, she doesn't have haste, so using felidar guardian to untap her stops you for the turn unless you give her haste through another means.
Eot cord of calling for 4, find van, untap, win. Edit: while doing a van chain, you pod a 3 drop into resto, resto blinks a creature untapper (deciver exarch, poster mite, bounding Krasis) then pod resto into kiki, then kiki copies the untapper that was blinked for the win.
Does anyone think that there’s a blink deck that runs saheeli? Saheeli seems like it synergizes well with the plan, and sometimes you’ll just cat combo them too.
Yeah in regards to Illusionary Mask: it puts the card into play Face Down, and despite what the original printing says (0/1), by the rules, Face Down creatures are 2/2s
The illusionary mask text that showed up on screen is all kinds of wrong. The creature isn’t a 0/1 but a 2/2, it doesn’t get any mask counters and you cannot choose to turn it face up at instant speed but in fact must turn it face up if it would deal damage, be dealt damage, or become tapped. The Masters Edition III errata did not respect the original effect at all.
I play 4 colour blink in Winnipeg Manitoba and I don’t like this for the deck. Too many black pips and not overly valuable to blink. Also you can make that deck, or any blink deck for that matter, hybrid combo. It’s not great and I’m not playing it in my build now but you can do deadeye navigater and paragruine drake and kill them with a drain effect like siege Rhino in the four colour version.
Glend Elendra is a shorting of "Glen Elendra Archmage". Glen Elendra is the secret home of the Faeries of Lorwyn where Oona lived, it's a glen i.e. a narrow valley. Glen Elendra Archmage is just a powerful mage hailing from Glen Elendra, just like Llanowar Elves are Elves from the Llanowar Forest. Vendilion Clique are actually specific characters that were in the Lorwyn story.
@@Mordalon Okay that makes sense. I knew Llanowar elves weren't unique, but I always assumed Glen Elendra was, even when I read the card. I must have mentally inserted a comma that wasn't there.

Would up vote this twice if I could.
Beautiful.
83 episodes in, and we finally get a clear explanation as to what the hell Sandy B is. A mystery of the universe has been solved.
We want answers
If they had just called it pattern rector I'd understand, but sandy b is such a local name i assume that i never heard of it
Butt Doctor: “I am Wheeler!”
As you get older it’s important to see the proctologist regularly.
Not calling Illharg "Sneak and Sow" is a mistake
What about "Swine and Show"?
My Favorite Hoof is a sorcery, Finale of Devastation
I used the hoof to get the hoof
34:57 Serge, love the segment, but penultimate means "next to last" or I suppose in this case, "second best."
Thanks for another great discussion on Canadian Highlander!
Thank you! My dealer came through today! I had been feinding for more north 100 I was rewatching old episodes when I got the notification
I was actually going to ask you all about a Time Vault list....thanks for answering my future questions.

Just when I was beginning to miss our dear sweet prince Wheeler.
Great stuff gents always enjoy the jer and wheelz along with the regulars
I lost to Obzedat/Goreo’s Vengence literally last night in modern.
Is there a "....buuuh!" compilation?
What is the name of the video where Ben plays Stiflenaught?
The only Sorcery Speed removal that removes Obzedat are things that effect Exile, like Rift Sweeper or Pull from Eternity.
Painter's servant also lets you get any instant with Merchant Scroll

Wheeler talking about Boro’s playing city of brass was the biggest mood. I love boros hate bears, but my mana base suuuuuucks.
But Doctor, I am engaging with the algorithm

Oh god, he IS Wheeler. We have been blessed or cursed with this knowledge, what should we do with it.
Quality pig content, if the topic comes up again would you consider calling the segment "The suidae'est card you're not playing"?
I hope to ENGAGE Wheeler's salt reserve by hitting the juggernaut with a Valorous Stance if we play at PSBG2

+1 on Obby. Very good life gain commander.

Serge learned how to say Protein Hulk properly!
Can't believe they'd mention painter's servant combos and not Iona, Giant Woman
Yes I am wheeler.
Yeah in regards to Illusionary Mask: it puts the card into play Face Down, and despite what the original printing says (0/1), by the rules, Face Down creatures are 2/2s
Also, I *think* you may have gained control of the dreadnought with Oko? Not 100% though. Either way it was a great moment.
34:51 Serge, Penultimate means second to last.
I always called Ilharg
"Bigus Pigus"
Omer R. It was my promo foil for the prerelease!

All I want is to mash selesnya pod together with pattern rector. Just mash them.
you need two pyroclasms to beat hoof. this has always been the case. one wrath/forked bolt set isn't enough. rebuilds too quickly

Wait, Glen Elendra (spelling?) isn't a legendary creature? How can you have a named creature that isn't legendary?

Mordalon makes sense- it’s the Glen of Elendra: the narrow valley named after Elendra

Is CanLander also one of the formats completely domminated by oko? Asking for a friend....
Oko is good, but I doubt it will be a big deal.
The real question is when will they point oko? And how many points?
Very good, but certainly not format warping.
It's good, but not amazing. 100 singleton makes it harder for a single "fair" card to warp the format.
Aluren.
