The joy on my face when I see a brand new, hour-long episode of North 100 Showdown - a Canadian Highlander Throwdown.

Slight rules mishap at 23:16. Force of will pitch card is put into the graveyard instead of exile and while it did not lead to a win, it helped later on with an additional card in the graveyard for treasure cruise and uro. Still a very nice hour of blue magic. :)

I am disappointed Wheeler isn't playing Sultai Swebagegrr.

Can you guys make a montage of the camera change when you guys turn to face each other to play? Absolute staple of the show.

46:30 ish, you can stifle Search for Tomorrow profitably. Suspend has a whole bunch of triggers. "At the beginning of your upkeep remove a time counter" - bad stifle target "When the last is removed, cast it without paying its mana cost" - Stifle this ability and it gets stuck in exile with no time counters

How soon can we expect SWEBAGABRR merch?

Yay the achievement pop-up & sound are back :)

Man seeing two blue decks go against each other is really interesting. Every moment felt like there was plenty of options for both players and was super cool to watch

The comedic timing on some of these “sweaty radiators” are killing me

This was some of the bluest magic we’ve seen on the show. Very good games.

Love this series, love Nelson's vibe.

The editing on today’s episode is fantastic! Kudos to the editors!

Love this series, already counting down to the next one

Im always thilled when I know the Canadian Shufflelander achievement is about to pop up. lol what a great format

This was a great set. Thanks as always for the video.

Thank you for having me it’s great to be here

Mr. Wheeler sir you haven’t streamed in 5 days and I’m beginning to suffer from early stages of Ratthew withdrawal.

I love the way youre presenting the pointed cards in the deck chat. Wonder if there is a clean way to display the point value of the card too

Thanks for having us, it's great to comment here.

Happy Holidays fellas

I thought all the Gotcha cards were silver border?🤔

Just in time for dinner, how lovely :D

Lets goo it's North One Hundred Showdown - A Canadian Highlander Throwdown

I love the tomfoolery throughout, especially in the intro

Sick sultai vamps list from Wheeler

Merry holidays

5:07 "shuffling simultanTeously" :P

Showing the full-art Ponder in the card preview window was a great editing joke. XD

Great games!

I'll obviously never be able to play this format, with reserve list cards and all, but it is fun to watch it

The return of ScapeTurns!

This show accounts for exactly 40.1% of my overall enjoyment of Magic: The Gathering, a Deckmaster game as designed by Richard Garfield, P.H.D.

on the note of the 60 card maybe even with 4 ofs. i definitely would watch legacy, modern, kitchen table, paper standard, or even auslander content.

“Should there be a busted Blue-Red Ice-Fang Coatl?” Good news Nelson, there is a Blue-Red version in Murders at Karlov Manor. It investigates when it ETBs instead of a pure draw, and instead of deathtouch it gets a +1/+1 counter whenever you sacrifice an artifact

If you want sixty card Canlander I heartily recommend giving Oathbreaker a try. You don't have moxen and power nine, but it genuinely plays a lot closer to Legacy or Canlander than Commander, especially when played 1v1.

Someone else might have beaten me to it, but I had a half-hour to kill so I did a statistical analysis of all the north100 showdown matches thus far. I created a table in excel logging the outcome of each match (as a best of 3, although I know some went over), as well as who went first. As noticed by the competitors, Wheeler wins an overwhelming 67% of die rolls compared to Serge's 39% and Nelson's 17%. The win statistics weren't that interesting. Fascinating, however, is that in the 6 matches Nelson has played he has only won one die roll, and it was in his only match against Serge, meaning that Nelson has 0% of die rolls against Wheeler. Additionally, early in the life of North 100 Showdown Wheeler went on a tear where he won every die roll for 8 matches straight. The third of those matches also started an 9-match winning streak of his.

Sultai Gacha is notably a much different archetype.

This was a good match.

And now Ben will have everyone sending their copies of Salivating Gremlin to the Moonbase

I do love these matches where you don't know who will win

Lets go Nelson!!

11:07 I think BG would be nice! ^^ Then we can have three Baleful Strix Sultai But this one has Defender Reach and Deathtouch. You draw a card on etb And when you have Delirium it gets +2/+2 and loses Defender And It's either a 0/1 or a 1/1

I would love this to be weekly

I will say, it is a funny coincidence to upload a video with "Gotcha" in the title while people are feverishly refreshing your channel looking for those juicy reveals Not that I've been doing that, just something funny I noticed in my YT notifs

Never heard of this format. Maybe you could explain what it's all about for those of us who don't know?

would it be possible to get Ben a microphone for these, I mostly watch this on my second monitor while I work but have to stop and rewind when i hear him talk to read the captions :)

54:30 I don't think Wheeler paid life for Watery Grave entering untapped. Didn't matter in the end though.

48:07 Highlander: there *can* only be one. But there can also be two, three, or four.

Is Canadian Highlander the only format where Serum Visions is still played?

Hearing that Ledger Shredder was 3 $ on launch, meanwhile in Europe,. it was like 1€ tells me a lot about all the Nonexistence of Cardmarket and independent Sellers on the other side of the pond.

In game 2 Serge isnt here to ask about Ben's favorite ponder art

i think "a little bit" is the funniest amount of fat albert to have watched

You think I come here for canlander. Wrong, I come to hear them sing songs from the early 2000s

You know sometimes it is hard to pin down when a match may have been filmed. This time. I have a hunch.

Next we need to see a Gacha deck with all the dice and coin flip mechanics. Embrace the RNG!

Is Canadian Highlander a proxy-friendly format?

There was like 3 days in between when I watched the first 80% of the video and the last 20%, and I have to say the biggest "GOTCHA" was the last-second SWEBAGABRR.

@22:30 Commander players knew it was a thing from the beginning. Everyone casts so many spells it's triggering constantly.

Let's get Swebagegrr

ooh bunch of close games this time

in the immortal words of Ben "ben wheeler" wheeler - Swebagegrr

5:07 ❤ Ben!❤

20:40 the offer still stands for help to pronounce german cards

gg wp

Now to wait another 2 weeks :(

SWEBAGABRR

"I change my sleeves every three months", jesus christ, Wheeler.

1998 called and they want their Taplands back.

I'll be slightly disappointed when that doesn't end up in the highlights.

Where did I go wrong? I lost the game I didn't have the cards to win And I could have drawn that extra card Had I known how to pay some life

North 100 has slowly morphed into some kind of The Exile Zone version of itself

Swebagegrr

'Govna' means it is us, the british, who are allowed to be offended at this accent

I don't know why Nelson's thumb sleeve things bother me so much 😖

Swebagabrr

Wheelers second job is proffessional craps player.

I thought this was going to be silver-bordered Gotcha cards

Engaged

Meow

I have always thought that 100 cards was just kinda out of habit, like maybe the format would be better as 80 card highlander or something
