I swear to god Ben Wheeler is the most entertaining Magic player in the whole damn world right now. Absolutely smashes you in the face and you're laughing about it the entire time. #whattaguy
I'm interested in this 'floating-round' tournament structure. If you start select matches early _while_ the previous round concludes, and that results in less downtime for the players & more matches on camera-that could catch on! Especially for events with fewer players. Can't wait to see more
I love Cam, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen his Mardu deck win a match, even against lighter competition. It needs to be retooled or scrapped.
Alex's Borobots list is so cool! Jor Kadeen is one of my pet cards and I never thought he was viable anywhere but Commander. I would love to see a deck tech on North 100 sometime.
2:37:18 I really thought Cameron was going to grab a Tragic Slip and use that plus his crafted wargear to kill both of Jeremy's fliers. It even would have gotten around the Remand he didn't know he had. (After checking the decklists he doesn't run it but still)
My season expectations: White, Wheeler, and Steacy fight over top 3. Yager and Ulmer have a solid midfield battle, .... sorry Cam. (Dear me, prove me wrong Cam. I wanna see you cooking consistently by league end >D!) So, those are my expectations/predictions; I welcome any and all surprise results. GLHF y'all! 2:55:30, ARGH, twitch ate my streak ;-; I should be at like... 20? ish months ;-;?
Can could have survived if he put bone splinters into his deck. He could have searched for it on 1 with undergrowth and saced the redcap for the cost. That way when it was remanded he could cast it on the persist redcap and killed the pallenkron
I can't help but feel this is going is going to be a success, and if so, do you think it would be possible to run a Moonlander Fantasy Draft in the future? :D
I know this match is a year old, but is it just me or could Alex have won by not attacking with Bomat at 54:03? He could pass the turn, then use Ghirapur Grid to put 2 damage on the hangarback walker, making 2 thopters, then block the attacking griselbrand and put 1 dmg on the blocking thopter so Wheeler gains no life and can't draw 7? If wheeler chooses not to attack with griselbrand then aether grid whittles Ben down anyways
Its 100 card singleton, similar to commander with no commander. Its way different iz actual gameplay though, usually unless a card is called chaos orb or shaharizad they dont ban busted cards, but assign point values to them insted. Black lotus for instance is 7 points i think, and you can have either 10 or 11 depending on who you ask. A lot of nutty stuff happens
so ben shouldnt have infinte storm in game 3 right? he doesnt cast Black Lotus infinit time he returns it right? i mean he wins anyway but just for clarification.
he has infinite storm. he sacs lotus for three white pays two of those to return lotus and replays it. he can just infinitely loop that to get infinite mana so he gets infinite storm since he is never in the risk of running out of white mana to get the lotus back.
WARNING! INTENSELY SUBJECTIVE PERSONAL OPINION INCOMING! I am always a big believer in "Play magic however you enjoy the most" but there is something I have always disliked counterspells fundamentally. I understand they are a part of the game but they feel just so anti-fun. Some of the most fun I have from mtg is the interaction and having to figure out how to manage and deal with things my opponents do. However, counters involve no interaction, it is just "No. That thing just doesn't happen". The "reactionary" nature of games like Hearthstone are actually one of the biggest pluses for them for me. Counterspells try to prevent your opponent from playing mtg, if you don't want your opponent to play mtg, go home and solo your decks like in practice. That is an exaggeration, naturally, but just why I never play counters.
You LRR guys have got to stop the combo decks from Jeremy and Ben Wheeler, they're really not so much fun to watch, but would be very much fun to see hosed. So put Arcane Laboratory, Curse of Exhaustion, Eidolon of Rhetoric, Leovold, Emissary of Trest, Rule of Law and Damping Sphere in your decks.
I very much disagree, while they may not be as back and forth as other decks they are incredibly fun to watch and see pulled off. We've got interesting interative decks from the other four here, so it's not like we're starved for that content.
@@moxavenger I don't think we've seen garbage plate before? We have seen decks winning with tendrils and Griselbrand, but that was a completly different combo deck. It would be nice to see some more meta-calls in the league, but this was the first show! We dobn't even know how this meta is going to pan out! Also, putting all those cards in your deck would make them really weak against, for example, midrange. Also? I love watching combo decks. People have different tastes.

Every match with Ben Wheeler and Alex against each other always have the best magic banter ever
Honestly I could watch them just jam game after game on stream for hours and not get bored. They have such a fantastic dynamic.
Ben is so gosh darn charming. Please give me more of this boy.
I assume you are talking Wheelyboy, but this could be said about both Bens honestly.
The already have two. How much more Ben do you think you can handle?

I love Ben's storm count and mana tracking cards!
You look like 3kliksphilip

AY I'M NINJA'ING HERE!
He has a mac 10 in one hand and a rasengan in the other. deal with it.
I like your new league format. Really good idea, plus we get more Highlander! Keep up the great content
That Wheeler game three was the most bizarre game of Magic I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing
I solemnly swaer to watch every video Ben and Serge appear in. They are so great to watch.
Just saying but they need a button that says 'Move to Cheat Step'

1:07:27 holy crap for a sec I totally bought it. "Trigger on the stack..."
1:54:34 There's something in the water in Canada. Serge does a real good Daniel Negreanu impression.
Props to Paul being on tech and also acting as a table friend.
"Is Lunar Lander a real game?"
Serge is so charmingly clueless.
chamingly is the keyword
Oh collections the high tide’s sins feels good like surgical-ing a tron land
Yo this is great! I'll be looking forward to this often! It'll be awesome seeing all the sweet brews and people bring to Moonlander
If the steaks have never been lower, then the prize should be ground beef.
Finally... I don't have to watch the VOD on Twitch anymore :D
Also, great video! Props to the LRR crew :)
I remember seeing y'all at PAX East, oh what a lovely bliss we all lived in :(
Thanks for stream. Is a great format the Highlander. Thanks to share it with us!
Lol at Serge and Alex attempting to resolve timetwister
Would any of you guys give Cam another deck for the next rounds? Poor soul seems to be stuck with this outdated list for quite some time :(
I love Cam, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen his Mardu deck win a match, even against lighter competition. It needs to be retooled or scrapped.
Alex's Borobots list is so cool! Jor Kadeen is one of my pet cards and I never thought he was viable anywhere but Commander. I would love to see a deck tech on North 100 sometime.
Highlander is back! So happy.
Ben Wheeler playing Asshole magic like a gentleman! I salute you sir! You are like sugar on salted wounds. :)

This looks like LRR wants to give me more Highlander streaming. I love it!
Always jealous of the artifact deck serge has...so much bling!
I love the sound when jere draws cards
“JVP. Best two mana planes walker in the game. Basically the only one”... little did they know what was on the (Modern) Horizon
Everyone was a lot more excited in 2019
This is now slightly old, but goddamn was that singing of blood upon the risers was great
I have tutored for a tutor in commander. It happens in formats where tutors are really important.
I play a reanimator commander deck and have mystical tutored for demonic tutor which got me a rune-scarred demon on more than one occasion.
It was turn 2. And Ben had infinite storm. I see why he called the deck degenerate.
I dig the highlander stuff keep it coming!
Been enjoying these past broadcasts lately, lamenting my lack of Graham by enjoying the boys play cards! Kinda rare to see jer without a cap lol
HE'S NOT A DEMON BEN.
Serge can only instant equip 1 time, no more black mana. declare blocks, after attach-activation welder the creature
Does your hand spark joy? Well does it!!!
Tarps off, darts in, let's have a donny brooke, bois!
2:02:40
ah my sweet summer child. living in a world without Wrenn and Six
I need to know what muscle wizard is guys
Ben Wheeler's voice is literally 90% Graham Stark and 10% Ian Horner.
That glorious moustache...
Speaking of breaking the curse of Blue Moon Serge, I forgot to ask what deck you were on while you were down here in San Antonio?
2:29:30ish Ben forgot to shuffle his library - for both times he casted pulse(?)
also spicy tech gitrog monster lives through thing in the ice as well
1:10:22 best part
Wheeler hair on point.
Oh my god wheeler

21:00 is what Paul did here a legal play from a judge perspective?
"It's not a brain freeze format"
Oh if only you knew
26:57 what happened to beej?
Can could have survived if he put bone splinters into his deck. He could have searched for it on 1 with undergrowth and saced the redcap for the cost. That way when it was remanded he could cast it on the persist redcap and killed the pallenkron
Wheeler, I love your shirts!
I can't help but feel this is going is going to be a success, and if so, do you think it would be possible to run a Moonlander Fantasy Draft in the future? :D
Is this a new series? I love this!
Serge forgot to draw of the skullclapm trigger with sai vs alex
Hey Ben, I was wondering about your choice of mastermind's acquisition
Serge, wouldn’t the thopter equipped with sword, skullclamp, and 2 lords be 7 power? Am I missing something? Before 1:38:12
