Not to abase myself too hard at the feet of the almighty algorithm, but the more unhinged the deck title the harder to resist the allure of the Wheeler/Serge throwdown.
Another Showdown, another stats update. After today's match, Wheeler is rolling better than his opponent 69% of the time, thus outperforming a statistical average by 19%. Additionally, since Wheeler has only been absent one match of North 100 Showdown, his extreme die-roll-winningness has pushed down the average die roll % of a north 100 player to 39% (Wheeler at 69, Serge at 36, Nelson at 13). This gives Wheeler a die rolling VORP (Value over replacement player) of +30%. As for the rest of today's stats, Wheeler won the match on the play, bringing him to 69% winning overall and 76% winning on the play. Today's match brings Serge to 26% winning on the draw and 33% winning overall.
What a blessing this past week has been. Canlander 2023 championship, the north boys on Shuffle Up & Play, *and* another Canadian Highlander Throwdown? It’s singleton christmas ❤
After seeing some of the names of Canadian Highlander decks, I’d love to see a podcast episode where someone makes a list of fake deck names and they have to make up the basic idea of the deck list to match.
Less than 9 minutes in and this video has everything: hilarious deck names, strange jump cut, offhandedly quoting an incredible song, creatures I hate in graveyards. What a wonderful series.
Normally when a mistake like this happens, I'm always a little sad that we didn't get to see the full nonsense. Here, I'm just baffled how nuts Inti is - never would have caught that interaction in a million years.
I love that not 3 minutes after Wheeler points out how cracked Inti is and talks about Serge misplaying it neither of them catch that Channeling Eiganjo counts as discarding a card and triggers Inti.
@@clintonmoore9783I think the +1/+1 counter is only added for discards to the attack trigger itself, not for all discards; the Eiganjo channel would have just exiled another card from the top.
Hello Wheeler and Serge! It was a pleasure to meet both of you at MagicCon Chicago, if only briefly. Serge, you may remember me as the guy who tapped you on your stitches arm and honestly thought I'd killed you. Wheeler, you may recall me as the fellow aficionado of German foils who showed you the set of original Zendikar fetches (and a bonus Gatecrash Godless Shrine) in German foil that I'd acquired earlier that day. Thank you both so much for being such pleasant, helpful, and friendly people!
Weird time skip at 7:08. Cards appear on the board that were not there and Wheeler's life goes from 20 -> 17 with out a mention of how the damage was done.
Not to put wheeler on blast but I can’t help but notice the watchwolves of the era I started playing, Kalonian Tusker and Call of the Conclave, are not in the list
I feel like Serge would do better, if he played more interaction and card draw and fewer "cool cards". His decks are cool, but he rarely get to do the stuff that he wants to, because he gets shut down too easily and isn't able to make his way through his deck fast enough.
The annoying thing about disguise is that even if you do decide to play both unyielding gatekeeper and den protector, it's still obvious which is which because one has ward.
I'm surprised by treetop village and not the new green white man land from Ixalan. They both enter tapped anyway, but I guess village is cheaper to animate
Hey Serge I have a boros commander deck that has similar play but I use goblin rabblemaster and krenko king pin to bust wide using my equipment I enjoyed the video thanks very much
Honestly at this point this is my thought too. Wheeler ALWAYS has the answer in these games. And I mean looking back - repeatedly draws The One Ring or WPA. Never seems to get land screwed. One could say “oh that just means it’s perfect deck construction” but no deck construction accounts for this level of luck.
So just starting this thing, and... yeah, this appears to be two decks designed to turn creatures sideways at each other as hard as possible. So what 90's magic wanted to be if the creatures were good.
Not to abase myself too hard at the feet of the almighty algorithm, but the more unhinged the deck title the harder to resist the allure of the Wheeler/Serge throwdown.
Such is the cult of personality around Moons Over my Hammy and Muscle Wizards
I feel this too. I need to click in and see why Selesnya is apparently so stupid, if nothing else.
Boros equipment is pretty unhinged
If the words “Mono-blue Green” were in a video title I would click at superliminal speeds

RIP to that one guy who wanted the Serge on the play and Wheeler on the draw update. Maybe next episode.
God bless you sir
Nice

I loved your episode of North 100 Showdown that premiered on Tolarian Community College

JUDGE! In game one when serge channeled eiganjo he should have gotten an inti trigger
I went to the comments to see how many people picked up on that one
Misplayed just like Wheeler was hoping for lol
@@jacksonreynolds7433 literally the first opportunity to do so lol
Just realised that myself and laughed out loud! Man, Inti sure is a Magic card, huh? 😅

And notably Inti would have lived through Wheeler’s Eiganjo with 5 toughness

The amount of joy a North 100 showdown brings me is insurmountable

pretty sure Inti hit face for 3
Yeah, like -- I bet there was a discussion there they wanted to cut but it was a lot less seamless than these normally are
The most hinged and orderly canadian highlander throwdown on the internet is back!
the background music. the production is out of this world
It's so nice that Serge is allowed to periodically return from his exile in the frozen wastes.
"A thoroughly researched pile of cards" is an apt desciption of the majority of my commander decks
Thank you for having me and this content. It's great to be here.
Just in time for my lunch break? Hell yeah! Let’s go!
Excellent, as always. Thank you!
My personal favorite name for the Green/White beat down type of list is "The 1969 New York Jets", shouts out.
Thanks for the games fellas, unironically one of my favorite MTG series on YT.
Poor Serge. So many of these videos are him just getting repeatedly curb-stomped by Wheeler.
My two favorite people on the internet. Always happy to see a new video.
Always love seeing a North 100 episode...it means I get paid this week lol
I finally got to see the arena ad with Graham and Adam!!! Let’s gooooo!
the jump cut as serge starts to read inti after the first discard is too real
There can never be enough Canlander, and the last months has been stacked with it. Not just from LRR either!
Oh dang, Wheeler is rocking the Dominaria remastered/onslaught forests! I run those in my Ayula deck, excellent taste!
Not to put wheeler on blast but I can’t help but notice the watchwolves of the era I started playing, Kalonian Tusker and Call of the Conclave, are not in the list
Nice to see more CanLander esp after seeing some of yall at MC Chicago. Def wanna try this format when I can
6:17 serge discarded eiganjo for its channel abillity that WILL trigger inti!
Liked just for ben (not wheeler) busting into the lyrics for bulls on parade
WOOOO!!!! Best show on the internet!
It was great seeing you two on shuffle up and play.
The playability and respect Jitte has in this format is like 95% of the reason why I want to try it lol
Must be Christmas! Yj year end and showdown ep in 1 week. When we getting 5c thoracle lands 😊
I feel like Serge would do better, if he played more interaction and card draw and fewer "cool cards". His decks are cool, but he rarely get to do the stuff that he wants to, because he gets shut down too easily and isn't able to make his way through his deck fast enough.
Totally here because of the TCC video. haha
welcome back to the island
22:23 Ben Ulmer listens to Rage Against the Machine?? Huge.
46:47 edit: Hey, Serge too!
Canamander looks fun, I need to find the points list and stuff.
Wheeler is back on track with dice rolls, I see. Or was this before the infamous SuaP episode? :D
Ah, so this is that Canadian commander the Prof mentioned!
Love to see the OMA Germ Token, I use the same for my Living Weapons!
Taking out the germ instead of the equipment, top notch styling
When are we getting the boros idiots vs selesnya equipments matchup?
The annoying thing about disguise is that even if you do decide to play both unyielding gatekeeper and den protector, it's still obvious which is which because one has ward.
Let's goooo more north 100
Really hoping to see Serge bring back Boros equipments. Deck seems sweet, just a slightly bad matchup against the 2 mana 3/3s Wheeler was packing.
Welcome back Serge
I love you wheeler no.1 wheeler fan wheeler should win every game 🎉🎉
Automatically liked the post for the "I guess that's shock the monk E" comment
questing beast has 5 words before vigilance wheeler
Canadian Highlander is my favourite format to watch that I don't play. The cool players are a big part of it too 🥺👉👈
I was just thinking, if jitte required combat damage to a player, would that fix some of the oppressive nature of it?
Damn that's a real throwdown
I'm surprised by treetop village and not the new green white man land from Ixalan. They both enter tapped anyway, but I guess village is cheaper to animate
The first deck I really tried to build was Ernhamaggedon
Are those minecraft treasure tokens??? I gotta get some of those
Hey Serge I have a boros commander deck that has similar play but I use goblin rabblemaster and krenko king pin to bust wide using my equipment I enjoyed the video thanks very much
Does Call of the Conclave count as a watchwolf?
Is this the first episode where wheeler doesn’t say “thank you for having me, it’s great to be here”?
I shall indeed be watching these wolves
Judge! More shocked than pedantic, but... the initiative cycles after completing the dungeon?!
I'm starting to think it's not that Wheeler has good luck in dice, but that Serge is just unlucky against Wheeler specificly, thoughts ?
Honestly at this point this is my thought too. Wheeler ALWAYS has the answer in these games. And I mean looking back - repeatedly draws The One Ring or WPA. Never seems to get land screwed. One could say “oh that just means it’s perfect deck construction” but no deck construction accounts for this level of luck.
I will point out the first word on Questing Beast is 'Questing'.
Busy week for Wheeler
Is Serge back to victoria now? Also you did great Serge even if Wheeler did greater.
I LOVE WATCHWOLF!
Serge sure did discard probably the best two cards in his hand that third game huh?
Yes Wheeler, please normalize Armageddon so that me using it with Boros Charm can be viewed as a valid wincon.
I'd love to see how the new fallout cards interact with boros equipment
1:10 "hey I brought bros" that's what I came here for actually
So just starting this thing, and... yeah, this appears to be two decks designed to turn creatures sideways at each other as hard as possible.
So what 90's magic wanted to be if the creatures were good.
Would love to see canlander dredge if anyone wants to play it
oh look Canadian Commander.
am I banned?
Love ur guys video
Serge! Serge! Serge!
Justice for Barkhide Troll
came here for useful idiots then got threatened 13/10 would recommend.
#YayforYager!
you should abbreviate your intro to wtnohsacht just to confuse people. lol💜
"Detective Germ" is just Osmosis Jones
I have a feeling people don't actually try to remember what Questing Beast does. It's not that hard.
The first word on Questing Beast is "questing," not "vigilance"
ENGAGEMENT
I said Selesnya legit four secs before ben lol
ah, Canadian Commander
engagement
We love idiot decks
Um actually Wheeler , the first word on questing beast is "questing" kappa
look serge is just here for a good time not for a good play
Wheeler claims to have every watchwolf in his deck, but where’s call of the conclave and barkhide troll? SMH fake fans (JK, the deck is sick).
Oofa doofa
why does serge always get bodied
where food
Armageddon is for cowards lol
Man I miss Alex steacy on this show
Y'all, this trio of gentlemen must be protected AT ALL COSTS. They are a treasure. 🥹
