There was an actual loop for serge in the end. If you sac the unbridled growth and activate heliods symbol of his church in response, you can draw the growth with its own ability. Then cast it flr the enchantress draw and repeat
Just about to mention that. But mad respect to Serge anyway: I had a Jhoira Weatherlight Captain cEDH-ish deck for awhile, and piloting a deck like that where it wants to generate a giant board state, and then looking at it and going, "Okay...SOMEwhere in this absolute pile of permanents, I have a win. Where is it?" It's a tough question to answer.
@@chifii oh absolutely, I dont want to discredit serge, he played all the games very well in my opinion. I just wanted to mention so we can all learn for the future!
You can also cast Unbridled Growth on a non-basic land and wasteland that land in response to both the cast and the cast triggers of Argothian Enchantress and Sythis to be able to Hall of Heliod's Generosity Unbridled Growth back on top before drawing it off of the cast triggers. This will have you lose the card draw of Unbridled Growth but it doesn't matter since you still have a net draw of one.
I really like the little achievement pop-ups. it also helped me understand exactly what Serge was doing during the first game. I didn't catch on until the achievement popup
This has quickly become my favourite series on all of UA-cam. Loving the inclusion of Ben-takes as the voice of the audience. He does a great job on the edits as well
I love this series. The gameplay and banter are entertaining, and the way Serge and Wheeler explain their thought processes and talk through some of the more difficult decision trees are educational.
I think the line for infinite draw would be to sacrifice the Unbridled Growth, hold priority with the draw on the stack, and put the card on top of your library with the Hall. Reset the lands with Wasteland, recast Unbridled Growth, and repeat. I believe that gives you infinite draws.
So i just wanna say i hope they keep showing and talking out loud about there choices during the games cause its super nice to learn the reasons behind their choices in a game
1:10:00 There is a deterministic loop with sacrificing the unbridled growth and holding priority to put in on top with hall. After you draw it and the stack is clear you just wasteland your hall and replay it. Cast it for 2 draw triggers, this way you don't depend on drawing enchantments from the top of your deck. (likely not necessary with thinning all the lands out of the deck, but for sure could come up)
As the premier north 100 viewer in the format I’m here to say me me memebot, thank you for having me it’s great to be here. This comment does in fact fit into aristocrats
It's cool to see because they're absolutely vicious. They have to be in order to make the cut. It's also fun to see the ones which were designed for a multiplayer format, but become absolutely cracked in a 1-v-1 match. The Chaos Defiler is the rare example of both. It's 5 mana and absolutely vicious, but only in 1-v-1 since when you have to choose at random it becomes much less scary.
there was a deterministic loop for serge at the end to draw the whole deck - sacrifice the unbridled growth, hold priority, use hall of heliod's generosity to put it on top, draw it to its own ability, then replay it and draw new cards off the cast triggers - but that's easy to miss when there's So Much going on
there's a deep satisfaction in seeing all 5 colors split, but represented between two decks it feels ~cool~ considering the concepts of what mana/color identity is, in magic lore these identities (Grixis vs Selesnya) is especially harmonic since they're allied colors within their identity, but completely absent of their opponents. good shit.
Question for Ben or Serge(or anyone), if they check comments. What decks do you recommend as starter decks about equal in power to one another for 2 beginners to the format?
So happy to see these decks I don’t have a can lander community so I watch yaw and also watch all the set reviews and I’ve heard about these two decks and now I get to see them
I’m not saying I root against Wheeler but he always seems to be the better player in these matchups and I want to see good games so I root for Serge. Serge playing strongly means Wheeler has to be on his game and his tight lines are educational, exciting, and fun to watch by every measure. That said, “Go Serge!” (Who is also a great player and good at explaining all of the weird card interactions that come up in Canlander).
13:02 doesn't Serra's Sanctum tap for 3 on its own (albeit all W, so you do still need to tap the Mox to bring out Champion)? Enchantments: Sythis, Oath, and Journey?
This video taught me how Cost Reduction and paying for spells works - re:Affinity + Lotus Petal. I've been playing for over 25 years and I'm just not discovering this
I'm not sure if this is correct, but isn't the loop: Sacrifice Unbridled Growth; In response to the draw trigger, use Hall of Heliod's Generosity to put Unbridled Growth on top of the library; Draw Unbridled Growth; Perform the loop to untap Hall of Heliod's Generosity; Cast Unbridled Growth, draw from the enchantresses; Repeat.
On how to "loop that over and over": 1st, cast Unbridled Growth, after it resolves you activate it's sac ability and IN RESPONSE you activate Heliod's Hall to put it on top, then resolve Unbridled Growth's sac ability drawing it.
@1:09:45 No, there is an actual loop. Sac Unbridled Growth, use Heliod's Hall in response put the Unbridled Growth on top, draw it with it's own ability. Reset Heliod's Hall via Wasteland. Recast Unbridled Growth, Draw 2. Start Loop Over again. Serge can draw any even number of cards.
I guess maybe we'll see a little N100 ep on any of the Aftermath cards, but incase we don't how do you think something like the new Filter Out helps decks like Grixis here against enchantments for instance?
13:07 Minor Mana Mistake: Sythis is an enchantment. Oath of Nissa & Journey to Nowhere means Serra's taps for 3 white and the Mox makes 4. This meant Serge had another spare mana this turn. He could've used the white for Ground Seal and had a green left over to keep enchantment spamming.
For Serge’s combo turn, it is deterministic. You cast unbridled growth, draw off the enchantress triggers, then once it’s on the battlefield, sacrifice it to draw, but in response use hall to put it on top of your deck, thus drawing itself. Wasteland reset the hall and do it again. Also, in game 1, Serge had 3 white mana off Serra’s Sanctum the turn after Sythis and not just 2 since Sythis is an enchantment herself.
19:27 doesnt Serge have an enchantment that prevents cards from being played or enter from the graveyard. Wouldn’t that not allow the urzas saga to come back here via crucible of worlds?
Cast growth, draw 2, sac growth in response to draw put growth on top, draw growth. Then sac and replay the hall. You are back to untapped hall and growth in hand.
Just a quick question, there's been videos in the past of serge playing "sanctum stompy" and im curious if there's a difference between between that deck and this one.
at 1:09:00 cant you sacrifice unbridled growth for cost and with the draw trigger on the stack activate Eiganjo to stack it to the top of your deck so you draw it off its own draw trigger?
The excitement I feel when a new North 100 Showdown gets released... Its always such a wonderful surprise

Is the symbol of Heliod's church a collar? Do werewolves hate it?
@@OnattamatoNo, but cats like Ajani hates them
You can also cast Unbridled Growth on a non-basic land and wasteland that land in response to both the cast and the cast triggers of Argothian Enchantress and Sythis to be able to Hall of Heliod's Generosity Unbridled Growth back on top before drawing it off of the cast triggers.

The color split is really on brand here. The hero Serge vs Demon Lord Wheeler.
31:15 the actual OG enchantress is verduran enchantress from alpha. Though argothian enchantress might very well be the first good enchantress.
I had plans to watch something else on my lunch break, but when I see North 100 showdown, I watch North 100 showdown.
Excellent, as always. Thank you.
I really like the little achievement pop-ups. it also helped me understand exactly what Serge was doing during the first game. I didn't catch on until the achievement popup
Classic, gave me a chuckle as well.
Call back from an earlier episode.
The Ben edits are 💯 as always, got a fantastic laugh out of me! 😂
This has quickly become my favourite series on all of UA-cam. Loving the inclusion of Ben-takes as the voice of the audience. He does a great job on the edits as well
I love this series. The gameplay and banter are entertaining, and the way Serge and Wheeler explain their thought processes and talk through some of the more difficult decision trees are educational.
Opening skits are getting better and better
Skits, what skits? This isn’t a joke. This is a livin’.
I think the line for infinite draw would be to sacrifice the Unbridled Growth, hold priority with the draw on the stack, and put the card on top of your library with the Hall. Reset the lands with Wasteland, recast Unbridled Growth, and repeat. I believe that gives you infinite draws.
yep, unbridled growth draws itself and the cast triggers draw the rest
So i just wanna say i hope they keep showing and talking out loud about there choices during the games cause its super nice to learn the reasons behind their choices in a game
I love that Serge learned a new combo in his deck mid-game. What a great series!
Hello, I need to know and there's no time to explain, is ancient tomb good in Canadian Highlander?

This continues to be the best format I still haven’t played
As the premier north 100 viewer in the format I’m here to say me me memebot, thank you for having me it’s great to be here. This comment does in fact fit into aristocrats
It’s always cool seeing the 4 or 5 drops that actually survive a cut in this format.
It's usually the ones that don't actually cost 4 or 5 like kappa cannoneer
@@magnetronman298 or that are just absolutely cracked with super strong etb and ltb
It's cool to see because they're absolutely vicious. They have to be in order to make the cut.

Love the show!

Really entertaining video! Quick question, is Ancient Tomb is good in Canadian Highlander?
You guys are correct: This is indeed primary-monitor content! ^_^
Is Ancient Tomb good in Canadian highlander?
Yes very
Nothing to make my day like a new episode of north 100
Guys, Ancient Tomb, yay or nay?
Loved the video, quick question, is Ancient Tomb good in this format?
Would you say Ancient Tomb is good in Canadian Highlander?
Question for Ben or Serge(or anyone), if they check comments. What decks do you recommend as starter decks about equal in power to one another for 2 beginners to the format?
Is Ancient Tomb any good in Canadian Highlander?
Wheeler dropped a sneaky WheezyWaiter reference in the beginning of the video and though he'd skate by unnoticed but I see you, sir.
So happy to see these decks I don’t have a can lander community so I watch yaw and also watch all the set reviews and I’ve heard about these two decks and now I get to see them
I’m not saying I root against Wheeler but he always seems to be the better player in these matchups and I want to see good games so I root for Serge.

That said, “Go Serge!” (Who is also a great player and good at explaining all of the weird card interactions that come up in Canlander).
I really think stuff like this has allways been shining through. I think its the only reasone ive beenable to watch older content.
I love oni cult anvil so much, but is it good to run ancient tomb in something like this?
Thank you for being here, it was great to have you!
Felt really called out when my second monitor said "this is first monitor content"
The achievement popups are really great.
13:02 doesn't Serra's Sanctum tap for 3 on its own (albeit all W, so you do still need to tap the Mox to bring out Champion)? Enchantments: Sythis, Oath, and Journey?
I thought the same, Serge should have had a floating white.
Nothing like some North 100 Showdown on my lunch break
Hi, I just came across this video. Love the content, but I'm curious - is Ancient Tomb any good in this format?
Well, well, well. I have been waiting for the latest North 100 showdown, and here we are.
My favorite main monitor content
Serge, as the premier lands player in CanLander, is Ancient Tomb playable in the format?
kamigawa really made welder a thing, the second oni-cult got released people have been making lists like these go brrr
What're your thoughts on Ancient Tomb in Canlander, eh?
This video taught me how Cost Reduction and paying for spells works - re:Affinity + Lotus Petal. I've been playing for over 25 years and I'm just not discovering this
I'm not sure if this is correct, but isn't the loop:
Sacrifice Unbridled Growth;
In response to the draw trigger, use Hall of Heliod's Generosity to put Unbridled Growth on top of the library;
Draw Unbridled Growth;
Perform the loop to untap Hall of Heliod's Generosity;
Cast Unbridled Growth, draw from the enchantresses;
Repeat.
Hey, would you know if Ancient Tomb is any good in Canadian Highlander? Thanks!
On how to "loop that over and over": 1st, cast Unbridled Growth, after it resolves you activate it's sac ability and IN RESPONSE you activate Heliod's Hall to put it on top, then resolve Unbridled Growth's sac ability drawing it.
You could tell Wheeler knew he was in trouble the first time he didn't answer "... the symbol of his church." to Serge's "Hall of Heliod's generosity"
Was just passing by as I recently acquired an Ancient Tomb - Is it good in Highlander?
Verduran enchantress is the original enchantress from Alpha. Argothian enchantress is the second and she is from Urza block
Happy to see Serge get to play Enchantress, and can understand how he missed the loop at the end.
wish i could thumbs up more than once, very showdown
Love to see it! Ich liebe beide Decks! Weiter so! Keep it up
I love the Achievement popups, thought I do kinda wonder if the trophy symbol should be the North 100 sword symbol lol
Hey guys, do you think Ancient Tomb is good enough for the format? Is great on edh because you start at 40, but at 20? Idk
This is great content by great people. Please sell it in liquid form so I can take it with me on the go.
@1:09:45 No, there is an actual loop.
Sac Unbridled Growth, use Heliod's Hall in response put the Unbridled Growth on top, draw it with it's own ability.
Reset Heliod's Hall via Wasteland.
Recast Unbridled Growth, Draw 2. Start Loop Over again.
Serge can draw any even number of cards.
I guess maybe we'll see a little N100 ep on any of the Aftermath cards, but incase we don't how do you think something like the new Filter Out helps decks like Grixis here against enchantments for instance?
A+ acting from serge with the opening
13:07 Minor Mana Mistake: Sythis is an enchantment. Oath of Nissa & Journey to Nowhere means Serra's taps for 3 white and the Mox makes 4.
This meant Serge had another spare mana this turn. He could've used the white for Ground Seal and had a green left over to keep enchantment spamming.
49:32 OH CRAP. Genuinely didn't know that's how that works. Wow.
Verduran Enchantress was printed in Alpha.
Is Ancient Tomb good in CanLander
God, I love Serge 😂 that intro was amazing
Seeing Enchantress played gives me the itch to sleeve it up to jam myself. Such a cool deck.
For Serge’s combo turn, it is deterministic. You cast unbridled growth, draw off the enchantress triggers, then once it’s on the battlefield, sacrifice it to draw, but in response use hall to put it on top of your deck, thus drawing itself. Wasteland reset the hall and do it again.
Also, in game 1, Serge had 3 white mana off Serra’s Sanctum the turn after Sythis and not just 2 since Sythis is an enchantment herself.
Comment for the algorithm. Please keep making the show.
Is ancient tomb a good card in Canadian highlander?
Is ancient tomb any good in Canadian Highlander?
Is ancient tomb any good in canlander?
So, let me be sure my lingo is right:
Wheeler is a heel
Serge is a babyface
And BenBen is the referee that says "And here comes Nelson with a chair!"
Is Ancient Tomb good is this format?
That was an amazing match, very engaging content 🤣🤣
19:27 doesnt Serge have an enchantment that prevents cards from being played or enter from the graveyard. Wouldn’t that not allow the urzas saga to come back here via crucible of worlds?
Cast growth, draw 2, sac growth in response to draw put growth on top, draw growth. Then sac and replay the hall. You are back to untapped hall and growth in hand.
Congrats to Molander for winning that match =)
I can't believe they'd call Argothian Enchantress the original when Verduran Enchantress is from Alpha
Damn how can i be as good at magic as Serge.
Grixis Welder is the deck that's making me wish this was a popular format in socal
Need more of this excellent content! ❤
i like that there's more cut for more flow of gameplay but some of them might be smothened by a couple of seconds b/a. high level vibes nontheless :)
Peeking behind the curtain a bit, if you see a cut it's usually a rules error we catch and edit out 😂
@@BengineeringTV good job, also the xbox stile achievement are so funny! 🏝
Just a quick question, there's been videos in the past of serge playing "sanctum stompy" and im curious if there's a difference between between that deck and this one.
Hey, does anyone know how they link the life totals on screen? I was thinking of making some canlander gameplay.
at 1:09:00 cant you sacrifice unbridled growth for cost and with the draw trigger on the stack activate Eiganjo to stack it to the top of your deck so you draw it off its own draw trigger?
hall of heliods generosity not eiganjo.
Love the decks my mans
man i love lurrus so much in singleton, what a cool card
that intro cracked me up 😂
I'm confused by game 2, isn't Zuran Orb + Fast Bond infinite life and infinite mana?
I feel called out because I always watch these on my second monitor while I work D:
Honestly would love to see Ben play in one of these!
Looking forward to this
Where did the squirrels come from?
did you say dooblie doo because of matt colville, he's the only other one ive heard call it that
42:40 Shouldn't surge be gaining life from the enchantment?
How does lotus petal pay for 2 mana for thoughtcast?
0:55 this is how we find out that Serge has been a ghost the whole time…
