I know people say it a lot, but one of the things that makes this my favorite MTG content is the discussion. Players are allowed to talk about their lines of play with an opponent and go over possibilities and if something works or not. And Serge is never afraid to do that or feel like he is looking dumb. We love you Serge! I know watching the players talk though the plays has made me a better Magic player, and explained interactions I didn't previously understand.
Hey, at 23:24 serge puts the hallowed fountain into play from opposition agent. This is MEGA CHEATS, not only are you doing this in end step, the opposition agent puts the card into exile, and serge had already played the urborg as land for turn!
@@TheTamally It's fine to miss triggers or miss sequence, but this is fundamentally changing what the card does and could lead to some people playing the card incorrectly in their play groups.
Here is an idea for a North 100 episode - the most misplayed cards in the format. An episode where everybody gets the chance to learn what the cards they do not understand do. The whole team will finally understand how Sagas work, and that your difficulty with the card type was a temporary fact about you, not a universal factor of the cards. Does not need to cover that many cards - give yourselves however long you need until everybody fully understands each card. It would be nice to see both you and the audience put preconceptions aside and meet cards on their own terms. Also, engagement! I have never played this format, but love to see y'alls enthusiasm for it!
I'm not even that old into magic but it feels nostalgic for me to see Scurry Oak combo again. That used to be my deck to climb Arena ranks and do daily quests. With multiple ways to combo or get infinite life like Heliod, Sun-Crowned + any Soul Wardens/Ajani's welcome; or classics like Famished Paladin + Presence of Gund
43:42 I believe the flipped tamiyo's +2 would effectively turn off the attack of the infinite squirrels, so i'm not actually sure the scurry oak line would have won. Very fun games!
Serge could do with having Ivy Lane Denizen (another way to combo with Scurry Oak) and Basking Broodscale (another way to combo with Rosie). Some of the Sheoldred/Oppo stuff just feels like he's trying to keep alive some midrange dreams, when he could just cram in more A+B(+C) combos (Sam+Cat+Sac for example)
Man that Rapid Augmenter would make a great pauper commander if it wasn’t ‘rare’ for some reason 😭 Ben’s deck looks like the kind of deck that could get me into Canlander to be honest.
The possible return of coached Highlander? I remember this being on Friday Night Paper Fight a while back. If we can see Flesh Ben's idea either here or there, I would watch the heck out of combo tutorial day!
32:25 I suspect eating a food there would have been better than equipping the spear. Serge had plenty of food tokens, it gives the 3 life immediately while shadowspear offers 3 lifelink potential, and it would put 3 counters on either creature.
Ok asking pre-watching so if it gets answered no it didn’t, why is Serge rocking 9 points, NO, strip, survival are all 1, dt and mox are 3, making 9 total. There must be a good reason for no imperial seal or ancient tomb?
Thanks for the analysis! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
When you play one of the absolute menaces of MTG, please remember to read the card so that you only make it as bad as it is, rather than as bad as it sounds in your mind.

Food Combo (christmas dinner)
Tokens (christmas presents)
Ben and Serge (an angel and a star)
Very festive video 🎄
Opposition agent doesnt need to get any better Serge please
are the cards in the thumbnail in the wrong spots?
I think so?
Looks like it-I did a doubletake because the brewmaster seemed like a weird choice in a jeskai deck
Naw. They never make mistakes and try to be funny.
yah
Nah you see it's so that Serge can look like he's fighting the tokens and Ben is going to drop the entire tokens box on Hazel's Brewmasters
Serge: "I think this is the best version of this deck I've ever made"
Also Serge: Proceeds to lose the next two games and cheats.
Food cards seem really cool but tragically they’re just too fair. It could have helped if Forage was much more powerful, maybe.
galvanic discharge depicting ben crushing surges hopes and dreams of coming back to that game

h a c k s
It's well known at this point that Serge doesn't actually read the cards, so they haven't been explained
Serge. Famous for being a judge, not reading cards, and commiting big cheats
Yeah, it's almost as bad as Serge missing 3 constellation triggers with Urza's Saga in one video lmao We all miss stuff, it happens.
@@TheTamally It's fine to miss triggers or miss sequence, but this is fundamentally changing what the card does and could lead to some people playing the card incorrectly in their play groups.
"I promise we know what our cards do." ~ Serge
I put my engagement on the stack
Congratulations
*Pausing to bluff a counterspell* ... Resolves
A great present from the LRR crew to us!
Indeed. As a trucker a day off and north 100 are always a step up. (Cussing people out in the warehouse and staring down drivers doesn't hurt either)

Ah, the classic North 100 showdown: a Judge's Tower throwdown
How appropriate that a food deck would be airing on Christmas

With multiple ways to combo or get infinite life like Heliod, Sun-Crowned + any Soul Wardens/Ajani's welcome; or classics like Famished Paladin + Presence of Gund
Would love to see a FNPF with that combo beginners guide you discussed at the end. Loved the old A team B team vods. Love showdown. Love you all!
Fleshben sounds like some weird Scorn body horror-esque version of a flashbang.
43:42 I believe the flipped tamiyo's +2 would effectively turn off the attack of the infinite squirrels, so i'm not actually sure the scurry oak line would have won. Very fun games!
Shadowspear gives trample, so either Serge gains life from the Solitude or gets a lethal attack
yes, but scurry oak has infinite power and shadowspear gives trample
@@poiri i indeed somehow missed the shadowspear there, thanks.
The way Ben starts searching for his land after a fetch gives me anxiety
It took me a bit to figure out that is what he was doing.
Same
Serge could do with having Ivy Lane Denizen (another way to combo with Scurry Oak) and Basking Broodscale (another way to combo with Rosie).
Some of the Sheoldred/Oppo stuff just feels like he's trying to keep alive some midrange dreams, when he could just cram in more A+B(+C) combos (Sam+Cat+Sac for example)
Agreed. All in combo might be better. Might as well go into blue for permission magic as well. And then include better blue combos
Man that Rapid Augmenter would make a great pauper commander if it wasn’t ‘rare’ for some reason 😭
Ben’s deck looks like the kind of deck that could get me into Canlander to be honest.
The possible return of coached Highlander? I remember this being on Friday Night Paper Fight a while back. If we can see Flesh Ben's idea either here or there, I would watch the heck out of combo tutorial day!
The video description may say Serge and Wheeler, but this episode is all Flesh Ben!
I love the old Uno Revere thumbnail
To be fair, Serge /could/ play Bind against a fetchland's activation. Probably won't ever but it'd be hilarious.
Now I wanna see a Ben v Ben matchup where both decks require cards with "ben" in the title.
Ben ben ben ben ben
Akki hermit
the vibes of this show slap so hard
32:25 I suspect eating a food there would have been better than equipping the spear. Serge had plenty of food tokens, it gives the 3 life immediately while shadowspear offers 3 lifelink potential, and it would put 3 counters on either creature.
Hey it’s the cohost of Shuffle Up and Play

As the premier running bit of the format.
Merry Christmas to us. New North 100 to unwrap!
a christmas miracle
Thank here for good, it's having me.
If North 100 was animated, Serge would be voiced by Chris Parnell
On Christmas?!!
Is Ben's initiative token Vi Arcane?
merry christmas chat :)
IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
40:05 i hope they realize that tamiyo starts with 2 loyalty if flipped and the -3 cant be activated right then
They did!
51:31 for a lil scream in the background.
I demand more flesh Ben
Wheeler shouting "no?" 51:31
Happy holidays.
I demand more BenBen!
Slow it down Serge. Elves of Deep Shadow had summoning sickness at the end there and Oppo exiles the card.
MORE BENBEN
Why are Bens OP in Canadian Highlander?
I support meat Ben!
ENGAGEMENT POWERS, ACTIVATE!
I have never seen some search their deck with 4 cards at a time.
10:23 I see RK Post tokens
Flesh Ben hype
Love to see more Ben, love to see serge putting in reps with food again
That's not how Opposition Agent works. Game loss for Serge Yager.
Land doesnt go to bf
always support Flesh Ben
"Food Combo"? When "Combo Meal" is right there?
North 100 for Festivus!
Thanks for the analysis! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Moar flesh Ben and Serge ineversaytheright name yaeger
There are so many proxies in the Ben Ulmer deck LOL, there is not a rule to limit the use of proxy cards in Canadian Highlander ?
do doo do do do manana
Fleshy B(en)!
Mer Cimbus to all
thank you for having me, it is good to be here
57:31 Serge can't eat food cos elves came into play this turn.
Don’t remember the time stamp but isn’t he activating the food which is not a creature so doesn’t need haste?
@@kinaantaha139 talking about the elves of deep shadow that was tapped to pay for the food activation, except it should have had summoning sickness
@@kinaantaha139, yeah, food is not a creature, but manadork is a creature.
I need a flesh ben tier on patreon
Ben looks different somehow
Ben's playing? It's a Christmas Miracle!!!
Time Raveler is never a positive addition to a deck
I demand more Ben-Ben.
Less benben
We demand more Benben
MOAR BENBEN
