This is legitimately one of my favorite shows in the whole mtg scene recently. Hadn’t heard of canlander until this show and there’s something so cool about how proficient serge and wheeler are and how vocal they are about their thought processes.
if you'd like more content like this i'd suggest watching the whole League playlist they did a couple of years ago:
ruclips.net/p/PLzRiDUMuwrlch_6k3y7eI5XBJ9dUSt3vs
lots of quality matches and decks played, especially by Ben and Jer, i rewatch it often for creativity insiration :)
One of my favorites too. I've said on past videos I don't even play canlander, but I'd watch a daily upload of this content.
@@BeardedNarwhal I’m always super excited to see it pop up on my feed
Hi algorithm, I'm extremely engaged right now.
Every time I watch this show I want to play way more mtg then I do.
Come and play canlander with us in the discord!
@@barneymiller3689 is it a webcam thing or mtgo?
@@RumpledNutskin Both, but webcam is significantly more popular. We had 80 people for our last big tournament and we have about 20 for weekly tournaments
@@barneymiller3689 hmmmm I might have to join the discord. Could I have the link, please?
That was a powerful initiative deck Wheeler played in game 3.
Wheeler's "I find it kind of sad" at 24:58 got me so good!
I will never own the cards required to play this format, but I am super down to keep watching it. Great show!
This format is super proxy friendly, worth giving it a shot
Proxy like mad. Printing proxies is a super affordable option if you dont want to do it yourself too
Any discussions about proxies should always come with the obligatory 'opinions may vary by group/store' disclaimer, so here I am
Part of the reason I like using proxies on the show is to help normalize them. Print out whatever you want and go wild
Just the most pleasant magic combo. Always a great watch!
Legitimately my favorite magic content there is. I think CanLander is such an interesting and incredible format, I simply wish I had friends to play it with and a deck for it.
Another great episode, keep pumping these out and we'll keep watching them, I believe in canlander becoming more mainstream
I have started to call the monarch esc mechanics "the shiny" as it is really good at describing how they play. It also would limit name blunders like G2
And initiative blink would be like when you rotate the shiny thing in the sunlight so it blinds your dad when he's driving
I love that Wheeler also has the Junji Ito Thoughtseize. As soon as they announced that SL, I had to have it.
This show makes my whole week every time!
By far my favorite CanLander MTG series that is uploaded on Wednesdays (or any day of the week for that matter)
So entertaining to watch, while simultaneously being super informative. Love this series, keep ‘em coming!
Absolutely love the content, just getting into the format and you guys are amazing inspiration for decks in a variety of formats. Thank you for being awesome
Serge off by one? Always a classic move.
He wasn't, thats the fun part
Lion Sash grows from exiling permanents, not creatures
Still won, was an amazing game, gg
And we can see Serge’s new sleeves on full display.
Great games, fellas. Thank you for putting in the effort.
I am once again asking you, it would be cool if you brought guests on and brought Allison in to show off The Rock
I liked what I saw. Thanks, folks. You put on such a good show each time. Take care.
Love the gameplay and the wild cuts at the end.
I loved Wheeler's comment in a previous episode about activating things (vial) when there is not reason to, just to see if you can make your opponent play wrong.
This is still some of the best Magic the Gathering content out there. So casual and so informative.
Yessss love that the series is back. Pls do more!!!
Esper Initiative Blink is one of my favorite decks in this format!
Woop Woop! Love the highlander boys! Great to be here
Delightful as always!
Great showdown!
Congratulations Wheeler, you won with initiative!
Serge, better luck next time, I'm always supporting you for the win!
I love these. Remind me so much of when I used to just sit and jam highlander with my buddy. Good times.
Love these vids! Excited for the games!
Thank you for having me as a viewer. It's great to be here.
N100 Showdown is my only exposure to Canlander, and you two definitely get my brain turning in the good thinking way.
15:40 Spellvault Timeseeker is my next dnd character
Thank you for having me it's great to be here!
I like seeing color (near-)mirrors like this where they play totally different!
This makes me want to play this format so much
Serge: "I find it kind of funny"
Wheeler: "I find it kind of sad"
Me: "The turns on which I'm scrying are the worst I've ever had..."
Best outro anyone has ever done.
Really enjoying the show, I would watch this weekly if that's a relevant thought.
I've recently tried my hand at making a red/black aggro canlander deck and focusing on high power/hasty creatures and removal spells. I would love to see one of you trying that :)
Serge actually did have lethal in the first game. You just need to reconfigure the sash.
Awesome content as always.
Great games! I would love to see a storm deck!
You know, when a new set comes out, it might be interesting to play decks trying out some of the new cards talked about in the review and highlight what role the card/s would be filling in the deck.
This is my favourite Magic content!
Glad to see something North 100 that's not a set review.
looking forward to the Benshenanigans with the cameras being in the highlight reel this month...
Serge says he's going to get flamed in the comments but I just think he's fire.
It's me, a warm hearth of flaming love for Serge in the comments
I love watching can lander especially when it's decks I've really never heard of. I am hoping to see more great stuff going forward. For deck suggestions once theirs a list for it priest storm I think could be an interesting matchup.
Hello Wheeler, Nimi mi li Leland. Let the showdown begin!
Broadly speaking I'm a proponent of the risky keep. If you have the nut draw off a single land rip, sometimes even two, it can be correct to go for it especially in singleton formats or when you think you're the dog in a matchup. In these games I wanna say Serge was pretty off the mark, keeping around 4 drops and not respecting that Wheeler had hand attack, but the initial thought process that leads to keeping hands like that isn't necessarily wrong.
Serge : "Comments are great for this show"
no Serge... YOU are great for this show ;)
Great games. Easily the best Magic content on RUclips.
Good show!
Serge "Im off by 1" Yeager strikes again!
I'm not able to read all the comments but I would like to see more of them talking about WHAT A HECK OF A PLAYER IS WHEELER for almost guess Serge's hand ONLY based on the clue that HE KEPTA HAND WITH TWO LANDS ON THE DRAW. Holly molly what a gamer! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Here to see if wheeler discovered praetors grasp to play around opp agent.
Great content as always, feels high-powered but still accessible to those who are used to more casual Magic
Love the content! But I'm noticing a distinct lack of decks with Lightning Skelemental.
I don't have a ring, but I am definitely engaged with this content
The ring is the least important part anyway
I would love to see someone put a copy of Exhume onto the stack in one of these.
Both decks look sweet! Serge needed some better luck in his early draws. Really enjoy this series!
You guys are great.
You don't have to mulligan, you GET to mulligan. The current mulligan rule is extremely powerful and definitely should be utilized more.
In G1, Serge could have un-equipped lion sash after attacking to have a chump blocker since its untapped. Ultimately didn't matter, but it would have mitigated a 3-drop off of vial at endstep.
Tagline suggestion for Serge, the premier Serge pilot of the format
Babe wake up, new North 100 Showdown dropped
Cute little cut at 40:15 …guessing Wheeler entered the tank for a bit then
I have a deck very similar to seeker walk but instead it’s omnath colors because you get omnath wren and Minsc. That makes your non infinite time walk turns much much better.
IMO the Hot bant midrangy version of seeker walk is better, you also get access to ragavan and fable which halp you ramp towards your combo and provide card selection
I love this show.
This show made me so interested in the format. But I sadly have not gotten the chance to play it yet.
There's a thriving webcam community on discord!
My favorite part was when Ron Swanson sang Just a Little Bit by 50 Cent around 22:00
That Junji Ito thoughtseize is gorgeous
Where did wheeler get those sleeves? They look great
Fun set of games to watch. I do wish that Esper blink would have, at any point, actually flickered something.
The esper initiative deck is only playing a few of the really good blink effects. Its better to think of it as an 'ETB' deck than a blink deck
I know this is very out there but I think Wheeler had a weird line around ~39:00 that wins if he had played Mystic Sanctuary in his deck. Sanctuary + Qurion Ranger + Yavimaya = infinite walks.
you have to bounce a forest with wuirion
Interesting that he isn't playing Mystic Sanctuary, considering it's a way to recur Timewalk that he can tutor for with fetches.
I don’t think the mana base here can support Sanctuary, but it’s something I’ve tried out in UG Opposition
Love any game with time walk in it
Would love to see aristocrats show up, challenge mode do 3 color or fewer.
Excellent show, gentlemen.
I would love to see a deck like Spearmint see some pay on here!
That is the best swamp art tho! (31:44)
Very small flames. Yes if you wanted to play around aether vial game one you can unequip the lion sash to keep up a blocker. But again didn’t seem to matter.
Serge do you prefer your flamed comments flame broiled or flambéed?
What are those sleeves that wheeler has? Those are sweet!
After that first game I thought for sure we'd finally see Serge win a match.
I would love to have a discussion of pros/cons for cutting white from Wheeler's deck. It's basically only there for 3feri and some removal, but I think the available removal in the other colors is good enough to not need to be in 4c for this deck.
It also gives you ephemerate which seems pretty important to his combo.
Yeah Ephemarate is crucial to this deck, and if you have that and need the mana for it you may as well have 3feri and good removal.
The only MTG show I watch of a format I don't play
So, the first piece of North 100 content (and really, LRRMTG content) I ever watched was the North 100 Commander Legends set review where Wheeler and Jer went to great lengths to talk about how messed up Opposition Agent and the Monarchy are in Canadian Highlander.
I now understand.
This content engages me.
Hour long CanLander video? I know what I'm doing for the next hour
Quote from man goozled: “What are you gonna do, goozle me?”
Oh, I'll enjoy it Wheeler. Or at least I assume I will, I do every week
can we get a rug wheeler tempo deck I wanna see his spin on it (and steal his tech lol)
I've been wanting to see the Esper Initiative deck in action for a while now. I tried to build basically this deck before Initiative creatures got printed and oh boy was it bad
I love me some Canlander, and I appreciate all the wonderful histories behind deck names, but it's always bothered me that SeekerWalk isn't called TimeSeeker. It feels like a (slightly) better descriptor and rolls off the tongue a lot better. But that could just be me.
Opposition agent at sorcery speed is good
What is the record from this show so far
sometimes you guys say "dm i do that", and i believe it's when discussing a hypothetical line of actions that you decide you will in fact do - what does the dm mean? is it from ttrpg and referring to a dungeon master?? I can't find reference to it anywhere online.
It is referring to a dungeon master. Sometimes you ask the dm something like "is it possible for me to reach the treasure if I jump over the ravine" and they respond "yes" so you'd say "dm I do that" just to shorthand it. Idk if threw really any reference online that's easy to find
What are the sleeves Wheeler is using? They look sick!
40:15 what happened there? There's a weird cut
Handsome shirt mr. Yaeger
I look at a year younger wheeler feeling like an old grandma wanting to feed him
I read Ben's deckname as SeekWalker, and now I wonder why it isn't called that
