MEMES AND MOXEN MENTIONED!!!!

[@RumpledNutskin]

RAHHHHH

[@Drecon84]

Would that mean that Wheeler brings Battle of Wits again? Because I really want to see him play that deck more.

[@dawidshakestheworld]

Man. Serge is so handsome and smart

[@zanebarber8688]

We’ve got a paid actor here folks

"I'm blushing" -Serge

[@theclassykarp3786]

say Eladamri ten times fast to prove ur not Serge

[@como170]

Canlander is my fav format to watch and be engaged with. Thank you for making it such a staple of LRR's MtG rotation.

[@germanyjones2700]

Alex how I’ve missed you, Paul how I appreciate you

[@trevante4640]

Please bring back memes and moxens it was in my opinion the most fun magic content to watch on all platforms. I love seeing Jank cards played.

[@kevinwestermann1001]

O: Yes! Alex is back once more.

[@WindyDelcarlo]

The phased-out token also takes the shadowspear with it. Mostly important for if you try to do that in a tournament.

[@nelsonsalahub]

This game is wild. I hope tournaments have people at them who know the rules

[@Giga-lemesh]

😂

[@person3176]

already watched this on twitch, but commenting because god i love canlander! More!

[@StetsonM]

Ooo new lrr lore dropped. Memes and moxen, returning faces, and great vibes count me in! Also wish me luck I'm throwing a canlander charity event at my lgs soon and hopefully it'll be a lot of fun.

[@T_Peazy]

Wheeler's Drip is on point. New haircut, fresh shaven, crisp white shirt. CUH-LEEN!

[@ContraMagic]

The 1st two turn cycles of Alex v. Serge are something to behold. I am so excited for the 2 hours upcoming.

[@badgeronriodz6792]

FTGay is my new name for pyrogoyf

[@Phished123]

"The hard thing about blue isnt counterspells, its cantrips" I cannot agree with that sentiment harder as someone who recently put together an izzit phoenix deck for timeless. getting the right cantrip sequencing can be a lot to think through.

[@kevinwestermann1001]

Obviously, Sheoldred wears jeans as a hat (waist band on the head, legs in the air). It's even represented in the art.

[@hiimemily]

If Sheoldred wore pants, would she wear them like...

[@janmelantu7490]

Serge and Alex shipping Sam and Frodo is exactly what I need this Pride month

[@jessehunter362]

second breakfast

[@mattperkinson9604]

In answer to why the skydiver autoequips, Zendikar rising had an equipment subtheme and IIRC colossus hammer was in standard at the time. I always loved the mental image of the skydiver flying in, grabbing the hammer, and then falling to the ground as it takes away flying.

[@hypethos]

That last Nelson Wheeler game was amazing! Love canlander content

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you! My favorite content to watch, period!😊

[@whythepie]

Nelly ripping the Tolarian Academy after Wheeler dropped the Winter Orb felt so good

[@heartofgoldfish]

i love the merch acquired from my preferred card gaming streamers, Loudly Read and Run

[@kylarcheng1346]

Game 1, doesn't Serge crack a food to live?

[@riolufistofmight]

Yeah, I was really confused, he only has 2 nonbasics taking 4

[@PuTeee89]

he could've made another food even and than crack one with academy

[@MrTheUsernames]

Indeed he could. Came to say same thing

[@spazywakjob546]

I honestly think what might have happened is either; because mox jet was down there they were counting it as a nonbasic land in their head, or that serge thought that the goose made a treasure and not a food, because when he put the goose into play initially he said treasure token instead of food. Looking back he even acknowledges the fact that he has a food and still scoops, bizzare.

[@herrvonhagen4139]

nobody seeing this baffled me

[@billiumdollars]

Literally about to comment and wheeler beat me to the applause break 👏

[@artemi7]

I always like to see Alex back! I wonder if he's gonna be in Friday Nights?

[@tappingleft]

How many mugs do I have on my desk?!? I have never been more called out. I shall now go shame clean.

[@ohmygod7024]

Seek the Beast... won't let you play two lands from it since you lose the cards at endstep

[@rkk667]

Yay Alex and canlander, thanks Team

[@djk89]

Loved that last game. Some really good back and forth. Also appreciate how cool Nelly is.

[@chaosmittens]

M&M? As a treat?

[@the4eyednerdm.125]

Man Serge really is so Handsome and Smart

[@aaronhaaf3584]

At 52:10, after you found the mountain cycle, you wanted to - pay 1 to look at the top 3 - in response draw with top - mountain cycle while the look at the top 3 was still on the stack

[@flyingtoastr]

Merchant Scroll to zero was such a mistake.

[@wormspeaker]

Always happy to watch some Canlander.

[@negueitchons5991]

I love alex's humor. When he asked if serge was going to maybe poop i lost it 💩

[@JkenzieG]

handsome AND smart

[@chriscox8237]

Love seeing Alex back in the canlander scene.

[@hawkfrost000]

48:12 Seek the Beast lasts until your next end step, so if you cast it main phase you only have the cards available until you move to that turn's end step

[@Victoevel]

Habanero looks like a sweet deck, I'm seriously considering building that as my first real Canlander deck!

[@Xalyn937]

What a Sunday blessing! Great games!

[@CovetedPeacock]

“I’m going to top before I draw-” “Happy pride!” This is the kind of content I am here for ❤ always love Canlander content from y’all!

[@SyntheticReign]

1:26:46 I was really hoping after that deep inhale, Wheeler was just gonna be like "Actually collector boosters are great and support a part of the community that people unjustly hate just because they don't make money and..."

[@michaelatbarnett]

Always love the Canlander nights!

[@TeaGarrison]

Nelly and Wheeler’s match was sweet. I love both of their decks so it was cool to see them square off.

[@matthugenberg8869]

When the vapor snag damage actually matters, it always feels so good.

[@batly1122]

I'm here to bring attention to "the algorithm"

[@StanielJeffries]

The best MTG format of them all!

[@Sientir]

Yay for more Canlander! :D

[@Crowned_Goblin]

Serge is so handsome and smart.

[@lostmarble540]

those awkward moments where you want to keep up blockers but your cards only do stuff on attack

[@IamGere]

Canlander my beloved

[@Slagomancer]

1:34:05 Personally I think lame lethal is the time where people were slow rolling Sudden Shock for the kill and letting opponents go through the motions.

[@freya002YT]

Let’s go!

[@TheOnlyOrk]

last wheeler v nelson game was a banger!

[@MrJ03K3rR]

44:15 In order to make second breakfast you've gotta bust a few eggs?

[@MrThewooter]

Sam got the sauce.

[@Giga-lemesh]

Lrr has really indoctrinated me into canlander

[@spiffinn_music_lists]

That last game was a nail-biter

[@99wattr89]

I am SO here for the new ACAB arc of FNPF

[@JocoBreRbC]

This Yager guy is so handsome and smart

[@RumpledNutskin]

HE SAID THE M&M WORD

[@Wingnut202]

Hard retweet on Wheeler saying Magic players are more focused and motivated on calling new cards other people think are good, bad, rather than the inverse. I think it’s a pride thing, if you call something good and it doesn’t pan out, you’re a dummy and a bad magic player of course, and if you’re right, EVERYONE was saying it’s good, but if you call something bad and it turns out to be bad, you’re a smart and shrewd sage, and if you’re wrong, oh well, at least you aren’t the dumb idiot who called a trash card amazing.

[@crom6573]

Canlander!

[@jessehunter362]

don't worry serge, you can trust us with your pulse! beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beet

[@sashabdreadful]

Canlander beloved

[@M0nt3zuma]

Canlander enjoyers, rejoice!

[@ericvargo9324]

>Names the deck "Food Fight" >Can't even run Food Fight

[@ahrenstarr6273]

1:34:00 lame lethal is Copper Tablet

[@stankmongerjones]

poor nelly having to play against a deck with TWENTY counterspells in it serge is very handsome and smart though

[@SK-mu7ok]

Finally Alex!!

[@erinaxel8562]

Can someone explain why serge didn't crack a food to stay at 1 life after the price of progress? He only had 2 lands and had the mana to tap.

[@ronaldkantelberg]

9:55 my god, you are so handsome and smart Serge?

[@adancein]

Man this Serge dude is so hamsome and sndart

[@Argetbrisingr101]

ENGAGEMENT thanks for the fnpf friends

[@itzcolder8852]

Yaey, Canlander!

[@riolufistofmight]

Nelson, why did you put Trinket Mage in your graveyard. That's not what Subtlety does

[@nelsonsalahub]

Never learned how to read 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ph31sa]

Thank you, came looking for this.

[@proffapoluga2573]

Oh god food fight is a proto hubris cannon isnt it?

[@fredmyers503]

The prof sent me to see some Canadian highlander. I need to figure out who the hidden commander of each deck is!!

[@thedepthandbreadthofseth]

You either shake hans with a goyf 😁😁😁

[@fatefulwaffle]

Man, flipwalker Tamiyo is BACKBREAKING in 1v1

[@rudirs3]

Couldn't Serge sac the food at the end of game 1 to survive?

[@nilshellbach2690]

Serge sais canlander is his favourite format but it seems like he is playing commander😅

[@forwhomthetacobelltolls9789]

New series: Twitch plays a pacemaker

[@MarsIsDead86]

Wheeler, are we taking about Powerstone 1 or Powerstone 2? Because yes on both accounts, I need a Powerstone

[@exaveron]

@Serge i know it's not necessarily that big of a deal, but you explained the saga sequence wrong to Alex. I have a Tom Bombadil commander deck, so I had to teach myself how to explain this. State based checks don't happen while the chapter trigger is on the stack, as the game has active effects happening. This means that at the beginning of Alex's precombat main phase, he puts a lore counter on Urza's Saga, this doesn't use the stack and is un interactable, then Saga triggers putting an effect on the stack for the corresponding chapter on the Saga, this IS interactable like almost anything that uses the stack, even though this is the final chapter nothing happens yet, as priority passes and the stack resolves he goes and finds his 0 or 1 costing artifact and puts it on the battlefield, then he shuffles. Finally, once the stack is clear, Urza's Saga checks to see if the number of lore counters is equal to the number of chapters, if at THIS SPECIFIC POINT these numbers are equal and NOT BEFORE does the state based action cause the owner of the saga to sacrifice it. The reason why this is important to me is because I built my aforementioned Tom Bombadil deck to take advantage of this interaction. If you were to use an ability like Power Conduit's to remove a lore counter at instant speed from a saga, you can put what would be the final counter on a saga, have the trigger go on the stack, in response remove a lore counter, have the ultimate effect of the saga happen, but the saga will stick around, because the state based check returns a lesser value.

[@exaveron]

Sorry for the long winded explanation, but i hope you'll find the interaction interesting.

[@kevinwestermann1001]

Alex, how's Prey's Vengeance en lieu of Staggershock?

[@fletcherpratt4281]

At time of posting Card Kingdom is currently out of buttons

[@Masterinferno47]

Alex could not have played the 2nd mountain for the fire blast, your next end step is the turn you play it or your opponents and you yours if you play it on your opponents turn

[@lordmeep5803]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

[@conquercode]

POG

[@asteros6387]

wow serge, you are so handsome and smart

[@ThirdChronicles]

So handsome. So Smart.

[@aidancossin1524]

not to be that guy (but also to be that guy) at 10:40 shouldn't alex hold his pyrokinesis for his turn? he has all the cards used in the sequence (pyrokinesis, lightning strike, incinerate and lava dart) if he does, he can use the extra point from kinesis to deal with serge's 3/3. certainly it does 2 less damage for that turn, but leaving serge with a blocker for future turns seems odd. especially when pyro wouldn't loose its free casting cost, and might only get better if we draw a worse red spell turn

[@aidancossin1524]

i can see the line where putting serge to 10 means that if serge goes fetch into a nonbasic land, and doesn't leave 2 mana up for life gain/gains no life on his turn, alex's price of progress kills, but that's pretty risky imo

[@lordmeep5803]

34:53 “That homeboy is R to the F to the G”, does this mean,, Really Fucking Gone? That would be absurdly funny im so sad nobody asked 🤣🤣

[@BIargityBlarg]

Removed From the Game, I think.

[@Bexahlia5933]

Obligatory comment to get to the nice number

[@LukasGrossar]

What's up with all the plasters on Alex arm. :D

[@technetin]

27:00 demonstrates how little skill is involved with playing M&B

[@Herintruththelies]

Who owns this channel and why aren't they telling Wheeler to shut up about politics?

[@thrillhovanhouten253]

You don’t need a special month to say trans rights, Ben. It’s stupid to say EVERY month of the year. While we’re at it, promoting pronouns is cancer year-round, too.

[@HitomiNee]

Serge is so handsome and smart.
