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: kzfaq.info/sun/PLzRiDUMuwrlch_6k3y7eI5XBJ9dUSt3vs lots of quality matches and decks played, especially by Ben and Jer, i rewatch it often for creativity insiration :)

@DefinitelyNotReal627 Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

@chromaticcaos Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

@NarcoticIsland Жыл бұрын
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
