Abzan Midrange Lands vs Temur Lands || North 100 Showdown

[@tylerlane2579]

I've said it before, I absolutely love the low stakes, tons of table talk games between these two players. I've learned a lot about playing Magic just watching these guys.

[@drknowtoomuchproductions5438]

Agreed, the table talk is a great learning tool!

[@mattperkinson9604]

The only thing I like more is Serge’s facial expressions in the thumbnails!

[@Pyrodactyl]

Agree, it's very fun. I love watching the highlander folk play magic.

[@superdude0977]

It didn't matter in the end, but game 3 on the turn Serge cycled Sheltered Thicket and played Steam Vents tapped, he didn't cast any spells, so it should have become night on Wheeler's, flipping the werewolf and allowing him to swing for exactly lethal on his turn instead of only for 5. Again, it didn't matter in the end but at least this comment is E N G A G E M E N T

[@andimayer1119]

Same for the Eldritch Evolution hitting the graveyard.

[@DarthSmirnoff]

I feel like they should rename this series from "North 100 Showdown" to "Did I Leave That Out Of My Deck?"

[@seanowens5423]

Saffi Eriksdottir is somewhere right now hanging out with Questing Beast and checking their respective watches.

[@StrideTheEarth]

I've watched every single one of this series so far and it's so fun to watch Wheeler and Serge talk out their turns and what lines they could take. It makes me so happy to see such a relaxed and laidback look at high powered decks and gameplay. I've been a casual MtG player for a long time and high tier gameplay has always seemed pretty inaccessible and, frankly, boring to me due to how a game can end at the drop of a hat. But just the explanation and discussion of mechanics and gameplay in a casual environment like this makes it very fun to watch. Thank you for this!

[@jclone7971]

Ive never played Canlander but I love this show so much I love seeing such a wealth of decks from such an exciting format And I love these hosts!

[@ahrenstarr6273]

One of the things I like best about Serge is he is a fan of cool Magic moments. Winning and losing seems secondary to just seeing cool things happen in Magic, especially in this setting. Great attitude.

[@ConSocial94]

I am just happy to be getting weekly Canlander content! This series is great and I love getting to see such a variety of decks

[@Santisknight]

For real guys I love North 100 I love North 100 showdown everytime it's posted I try to watch it right away! Despite having super high powered cards you guys still have a casual fun time with friends which is lost on so much other magic content thank you guys for having cultivating an amazing community!

[@BKets4ever]

I absolutely love this series! I really enjoy the table talk, Ben and Serge are awesome people, Canlander is so good. Thank you for making this.

[@thebreckify]

I haven't played MTG in years, but I'm loving this, and it's fast becoming my favourite series. Two good mates, playing relaxed rounds of a game they both love. With excellent commentary, showing their strategic thinking.

[@danieleichorn3085]

the foil Gush that's masquerading as a Tainted Pact in Wheeler's deck, by the way, is apparently a 135-dollar card. MMQ commons, I tell ya. 21:20 - "Graveyard order's IMPECCABLE" when he forgot to exile Eldritch Evolution

[@petrseghman4283]

Uhm, is there even a window to counter Deathrite Shaman with Endurance? Isn't that a Mana ability that cannot be reacted to?

[@maywecomein]

I thought so too but apparently not! Ruling: “Because the first ability requires a target, it is not a mana ability. It uses the stack and can be responded to.” The exiling is part of the ability and not a cost, which I didn’t realize.

[@crawdaddy1234]

This makes me miss playing Legacy. I played Abzan (before “Abzan”) Loam. I had a buddy who would say that if everyone played Knight of the Reliquary like I did, it would have been banned. It was an exaggeration, but it was flattering. 😊

[@99wattr89]

This show could be daily, and I'd still watch.

[@DarknayseLyn]

In game 1, how was Serge able to play the endurance when he did? I thought mana abilities weren't able to be responded to.

[@Sunshiner129]

Deathrite Shaman isn't a mana ability because it targets.

[@theaggrokrag]

I'm just happy to be here

[@artemi7]

Is there some special synergy about Questing Beast in these decks that I'm not realizing? Specifically for lands? Or is it just being played cause it's a efficient beater to close the game with?

[@bwheelermtg]

QB is just a phenomenal card that excels at clearing up the board

[@Argusthecat]

Its synergy is that it kills your opponent. Very quickly.

[@ronnebrickfilms6106]

How could you respond to the deathrite shaman mana activation with an endurance? It is a mana ability and should not use the stack. Was that a miss play or am I misunderstanding something?

[@Eon_TAS]

Stupidly late reply that you won't care about now but I'm going to do anyway: deathrite's ability isnt a mana ability because it has a target, so it does use the stack and can be responded to

[@KoroSarum]

Lands, lands, lands!!!

[@apjapki]

Was there not a mistake in the last game? It should have become night at the beginning of Ben's turn, flipping the werewolf and giving him the extra point of damage to win. Serge only played a land and cycled a land, casting no spells.

[@devonhutchison3485]

Question, do you guys run any domain cards in those 3.5 color decks?

[@dragonic13]

This is all amazing, but I do miss Friday Nights and hope it will be back soon.

[@NoName-oe3te]

Not sure how feasible this is, but it would be interesting to see Wheeler and Serge swap decks, highlighting each player's strategy and their different lines for each decks. (Not just for this matchup, but for future ones too)

I want to thank surge for getting the night is young stuck in my head for multiple days now...🙃

[@Veelofar]

While I decided long ago that I had no interest in actually playing Canlander, I really enjoy watching it. The fast paced, sudden punchiness of this format makes it super interesting, but I’m of the weird opinion that if the game doesn’t get to at least turn 16 was it really worth shuffling for? I need each game to be several hours of back and forth.

10/10 intro

[@galleadden]

Actually curious on the rules for deathrite. Does the exile a land ability count as a mana ability? and if it does can it be responded to? I legit have no idea

[@Ninjamanhammer]

It's not a mana ability. One of the restrictions for being a mana ability is not targeting.

[@Sugarman96]

Because it targets, it is not a mana ability.
