Canadian Highlander || Friday Night Paper Fight 2024-11-29

[@janMelantu]

For those confused by “pickle abs”, it’s a mnemonic to remember the 9 card types that can be in decks: Planeswalker Instant Creature Kindred Land Enchantment Artifact Battle Sorcery

[@DH-gv6cj]

"back piles" also works

[@kilo3989]

@@DH-gv6cjMan, I went to the doctor the other day and got diagnosed with pickle abs AND back piles. What a rough day.

[@markbrierley6367]

​@@kilo3989saw this coming. Still snarfed my breakfast.

[@Nuclearstulle]

wow... xD

[@artemi7]

@@DH-gv6cj Honestly I think i like this better lol

[@Videomaster369]

To Alex and Ben, My mom was actually a professional clown and switched from being white faced to regular with painted features. Kids found her more approachable and generally got more positive first impressions!

[@caywind7]

The Friday night paper fight is the best way to spend my Sunday night

[@jtcraig09]

Alex bested the one ring twice. Does this mean he is stronger than Frodo? Is he the Lord of the Ring? It's always great to see Alex! Great games from all!

[@disco_falcon1895]

Alas poor Ulmer, I knew him well. A guy of infinite Jesk.

[@zcipher]

My favorite descriptor for having won zero games was from my college's joke newspaper, which described our local sportsball team's record as "Undefeated In Magical Opposite Land"

[@WhiteWizard42]

Alex not Darting the Leveler at 1:34:00 is baffling to me. He could've got it off the board!

[@bradg1772]

Glad I'm not the only one that saw it.

[@DefinitelyNotReal627]

Had me so shook I had to google if it was a sorcery.

[@adancein]

I think the green card is only a 6/6, so 1 dmg missing for a Lava Dart kill

[@JustaLilHummus]

@@adancein It would have triggered magecraft, making it a 7/7, and killed the leveler. It would have also done one more damage to nelson because of the trigger on the other creature.

[@Valkhiya]

I was *just* thinking yesterday that I'd like to rewatch the canlander stream where alex played habanejo because I love that deck, but didn't because there's just so many streams I didn't have the energy to look for it, so this is amazing timing :D

[@janMelantu]

Using the Nephillim names for four-color groups is like using the Invasion block wedges (Ana, Ceta, etc). Impossible to keep straight.

[@SilverBordered]

Personally, I like using Strixhaven houses for the two color combos. Prismari homies rise up

[@Halinn]

Only 4c names that really make sense are the ones from C16 - Artifice, Chaos, Aggression, Altruism and Growth - named for the opposite of their lacking color

[@1321Jester]

@@Halinn sans [color] works for me.

[@hilmalinder3759]

I love the orgins standard era moist jund, dark jeskai etc

[@xander_man]

Oh yeah. Move over Sultai. It’s Moist Golgari time.

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you! I love this format! Also, shout out to Paul adding green pips to Ben’s deck overlay. 😂

[@dizzlebloom120]

Serge's shriek when shuffling was HILARIOUS. I'm dyin

[@artemi7]

I'm glad Paul changed the title, at first I didn't think this stream was going to be for me because I'm not Canadian!

[@disco_falcon1895]

Posted 27 seconds ago? And I have a 3 hour drive? Perfect.

[@seasikberry7120]

i would say its 40 mins short of perfect but agree

[@jehenna29]

Things i thought id never hear in a magic game "Man i really hate that my One Ring is indestructible"

[@chrisanderson5048]

Playing against one ring, can confirm I say that often. Now saying that while I have one ring, a different story

[@MrSwordJ]

I do like a good Highlander night. Thanks for the content, friends.

[@Merc1987]

The best way to describe the opposite of undefeated to me is " I am the holder of the wooden spoon"

[@Flashpoint3373]

Great games!! Lots of fun moments. Suprised nobody saw the line where Alex flashes back lava dart on the 8/8 to trade it with his creature that would be a 7/7. I suppose graveyard effects get missed a lot though

[@blodmangel]

Fun fact: The Patreon CEO who allegedly does a line of coke every year and changes the logo is none other than fellow KZbinr Jack Conte, known also from bands such as Pomplamoose and The Scary Pockets.

[@Durtaz]

Wait half of the Pomplamoose duo is the actual factual CEO of Patreon… that’s genuinely wild. Particularly that I’ve gone a great many years listening to the group casually with absolutely no idea, even given the fact that I know for sure that I have seen “Jack Conte, CEO of Patreon” in videos and “Jack Conte of Pomplamoose” separately and never put it together. I had every reason and opportunity to figure out it was the same person but never did.

[@grumpygoosegg3514]

Love the energy from all of this!

[@asteros6387]

glad to see ben on mono modern horizons busted one drops

[@ShutUpDoug]

Thanks for highlander its great to wamjangle here

[@corvidcognition]

A prestigious Canlander pod of 4! Thx everyone, great content always...

[@TheMETALLICAFAN999]

I love that Ben's deck is often tapped and attacking

[@STS-qi1qy]

Been binging the older North 100s and was mildly thrown for a loop seeing recent cards in the mix on this one.

[@redartifice]

1:00:34 "uh, boss, i couldve sworn i saw Kylie Minogue"

[@jacobk8890]

Sharp looking group! Thanks for the games

[@99wattr89]

Good grief Ben's draws were good. One bad game where he couldn't find a land, then moxen, ragavans and whiteplumes on demand for the whole rest of the evening.

[@GG-dt5hh]

I know the Nephilims have names, but I always preferred the titles for the 4 colors. I don't remember where they're from but: WUBR is Artifice WUBG is Order WURG is Altruism WBRG is Aggression and UBRG is Chaos

[@Halinn]

They're from Commander 2016, except WUBG is Growth (i.e. it's opposite red's destruction)

[@pluralkumquat]

Ink Treader and Yore Tiller are the only ones I remember.

[@PSroka]

this is maybe the funniest episode of fnpf ive seen, thank you for making my day while I'm sick ♥️

[@harryalerta]

The opposite of undefeated is "engagement bait"

[@heykak]

You know, I would never make a habanero type deck, but I love how weird (positive) it is and alex clearly pilots it excellently

[@stjepantijan2357]

1:19:00 The Defeatiest

[@markbrierley6367]

So here's my problem with Canlander: (it's very much a me problem) it's just one more format in which I look at a deck and get super excited to play it, I spend an unjustifiable amount to build it, turns out the strategy of the deck is trash or outclassed by the current meta, and then I get upset that I lose all the time.

[@Kyleeliasdonovan]

1:44:25 Surprise Flight of the Concords reference!

[@perryjohnston5451]

Creation takes vulnerability and vulnerability is what people find embarrassing. Great video Jay!

[@kevinwestermann1001]

Yes, CanLander FNPF! And with Alex again

[@matthewloser7567]

Maybe some day we can get Alex on North 100

[@milg44]

Feel like Alex always cool decks with old cards

[@TheFluke32]

37:47 *looks under Alex Stacy's name* uhhh. okay. Alex is using Serge's twitch handle now. :D

[@TheOnlyOrk]

I'm thoroughly whamjanged!

Ben wasn't supposed to make a token from Adeline.

[@GirlBluup]

I think it was from the wedding

Ben I love your Monkey Song lmao

[@Greysnowman]

29:37 I got that reference

[@zakmarcus6222]

Might be time to shelve the food deck

[@joe_h_Redwire]

Did Ben count too much damage in game2? He was at 10, Wild Slash is 2+1+1, Needle Drop 1+1+1, he'd be at 3 when blocking.

[@collectionconnection3722]

Yep

[@TheUnspokenKibbles]

The monkey is always faster In somebody else’s deck You play a buncha cards on turn two, I say “what the heck” Is there anything else you’re doing? Or you’re passing the turn to me? I untap and draw my card, then I swing with the muh-unkey! Swing with monkey! Swing with monkey! Beat down is better When it makes treasure, Take it from me! Top of your deck is mine to play, Now watch it get exiled away, Sorry I’m gloating, But this card is GOATing, Swing with monkey!

Ive been jamming a Jund Delirium list, and its HOT

[@colinpatton1541]

@ the list looks fun, lotta internal synergies that just work

[@caywind7]

Monkey… 1:55:00

[@TreacherousTetrisTerrorist]

Is that an Arcane Vi initiative token?

[@corbenmurphy1807]

1:32:00 Alex needs to draw an additional card for Bauble. 1:50:30 Serge needs to actuslly crack the flooded strand, and get a new land. He had an additional landfall trigger as well, meaning he could have either gotten an untapped land and used a treasure to crack a food, or make 2 total treasures and crack a food.

[@zakmarcus6222]

There was a Yavimaya in play
