Canadian Highlander || Friday Night Paper Fight 2025-01-10

[@UnEn666]

This is probably the best Canadian Highlander content on the whole channel. Seeing people learning their decks gives an amazing insight into the format and the decks.

“Friday Night Unpack Your Trauma Night” I’m DYING

[@kevincorlett6138]

1:23:36 My heart is so full of joy for Serge. What a way to start the year. He better clear his schedule for the YJ weeklies up there. I will settle for nothing less than Combo Degen Serge in the 2025 Top Eight.

[@kivipaperisakset3999]

RIP Serge. He was so full of life and joy, and was hoping to learn how to play a little Magic: the Gathering... It was weird, later in the video I still almost felt I could hear his voice.

[@samuelcouey8946]

That first game felt like serge was learning how to use a sling to hit wheeler, while wheeler was learning how to hit serge with a Glock.

[@spaghetttboi]

Each stream the mystery gets deeper and deeper about who is stealing all the tokens

[@Deathven1482]

Right? Just inexplicably missing tokens.

[@Avawen1312]

Alex's reaction to seeing the Breach/Brain Freeze combo (for what I imagine was the first time) is incredible

[@shafer.stromwall]

The Trinisphere is just revenge for that game a year or two ago where stifled two of Wheeler's fetches.

[@proffapoluga2573]

Ah, yes, the Judge Tower where Wheeler was so tilted, he didn't read the word sorcery on his counter spell.

[@actualFix]

@@proffapoluga2573 Even worse than that! Serge played a creature, and when it ETB'd Wheeler tried to cast Asphyxiate in Serge's Main Phase. And not only did Serge call him out and won the game, he then also had Envelop in hand, to counter Asphyxiate. Stifle, Idiot Bird to getting dumpstered in Judge's Tower. I'd need a commercial break too.

[@reaperseeker]

1:23:31 He did it. The boy actually did it. And on this day Wheeler shed a proud tear.

[@SuperFlamingTomato]

Man that first game was one of the most brutal things I’ve ever seen. That was crazy. I believe in your future games Serge!

[@TyranitarStudios]

That turn 1 trinisphere, holy crap

[@snobrdr18]

When Ben whispered “I’m at work what’s up?” And the mics still had it perfectly

[@jonathangodbolt1671]

So glad we all got to watch Serge pop his storm cherry.

[@SilverBordered]

38:06 Mistake I see a lot with the Undercity. Forge is not a “may” or “you control”, so Ben MUST put counters on that double striking Fury.

[@heykak]

Watching various MTG creators can make the inside jokes confusing, because what do you mean noone says "more like inventors unfair"

[@jerryjeffhaining9527]

6;15 This is the most hate-filled play i've seen in a very long time, possibly ever. Bravo Wheeler

[@harryalerta]

This was a lost opportunity for Wheeler to play Serge food.

[@loganfrazier1187]

Is this a sign that the canlander leagues from lrr could come back

[@Slagomancer]

Ben Wheeler making Big Red look good. Instead of EGGS he's playing ROCKS.

[@fairygoodmuller8065]

instead of throwing eggs, wheeler chose violence

[@williamkohler8073]

Hyped for the highlander championships!

[@redwingwonder2248]

Definitely gonna be playing with wheeler’s list for a bit. Hopefully I can have his luck 😂

[@dracoelynne]

holy crap, Serge stormed out! I'm seriously impressed! (even with Wheeler's help XD )

[@dracoelynne]

also: I would watch the hell out of everybody in the LRR base just bringing a couple of decks and playing "king of the hill" casually throughout the day, rotating people on and off stream as they come by and go "oh hey I think my deck can beat that, let's find out"

[@dracoelynne]

"I'm the Stay-Pufft guy... duh"

[@TheIrishJackel]

1:59:00 Also Ben only had 2 red mana, so the only way he can get Kiki is through a tutor or playing a 3rd red source, and most of his tutors would need a 4 drop to get him. I'm not saying exiling the angel was the right play, but I don't think it was 100% the wrong play either.

[@Victoevel]

Incredible gameplay, loved watching all of you getting out of the confort zone into uncharted territory! Particularily excited for Serge's and Ben's lists, this stream was amazing!

[@coconutmilkisbestmilk1702]

wheeler slowly coming into frame at 1:20:02 was so funny it’s like one of those moments in the anime when the protagonist remembers their friends that are cheering them on

[@rubyseverinwhitworth9066]

So continues the legacy of Alex using Graham's profile drawing

[@AquaCocytus]

that turn 1 trinisphere is nasty work

[@multeyemeteor]

Big fan of all of this. Humble request: Bring back the Canlander seasons. Angel would be a cool person to bring in for this, if she was down.

[@ExtraCarnex]

Worth noting that elas il kor does not trigger on himself.

[@olly123451]

Ben and Serge’s intros are fantastic, they play off each other so well.

[@Jakester542]

I was waiting for Ben to uptick Saheeli and then name Ben Wheeler as the opponent he was targeting instead Serge just for the Highlander aspect 😂

[@lavashot449]

Nelson: March of Otherwordly Light Wheeler: Get the Fu- Family channel out of here God I loved that, im crying 😂😂

[@ilovespeedwagon6713]

Wheeler big bro'ing serge to help with his combo

[@Alaskan007]

Not to beat a dead horse, but serge should have gone down to 4 not 6 from broadside bumblebeers in game 1.

[@peterjessen97]

Turn 1 Trinisphere. Off to a brutal start.

[@STS-qi1qy]

Always love a Canlander. Fingers crossed we get another Beejlander soon.

[@whydustin]

I feel like Wheeler should've brewed some jank for this, but maybe not on no sleep

[@harryalerta]

That pack of negation with 3 lands showing was sick

[@chaosmittens]

Loved this Paper Fight. It was really cool to watch people learn.

[@vinopinguino]

The episode where Serge finally turns heel.

[@lostmarble540]

damn they weren't lying, that's a big red prison

[@ahrenstarr6273]

Portal 3 Kingdoms first UB set???

[@Defender-hi3vb]

It took exactly one Lord of the Rings card for Teferi Three to be the conquering hero and crowd favorite in the Ben mirror lol.

[@jackl8025]

thank you for having me its great to be me

[@micah3030]

8:55 you can kick the cup once and it still only costs 3 from the ball right? That would let you spend the mana from it before you flung it to help cast your hearse.

[@whotheheckcares]

Shortly after, Serge gets hit by the BBs, and then the Ring is flung, which should be 8 damage, but he only takes 6. Honestly, at that point Ben felt bad enough about what he was doing that he wasn't playing optimally or catching little things.

[@Halinn]

Why isn't Serge on Spellseeker?

[@Leonidous]

Serge has a cute cEDH list

[@kurtzimmerman9272]

Ben U playing a deck l was gonna build because it’s one of my favourite archetypes of all time nice to see ❤

[@qut0n]

The birth of Storm Serge

[@itslexactually]

33:10 Windswept Heath fetched Undercity Sewers??? The words “Hedge Maze” were said, but Hedge Maze is not on the battlefield.

[@itslexactually]

Update: it didn’t end up mattering

[@jackfeger7634]

i think the card reader is wrong and ben did find a hedge maze, then the card reader showed the Undercity Sewers

[@admiralsky56]

@@jackfeger7634 yes, card reader is definitely wrong, the card he puts onto the battlefield definitely says hedge maze and the colors are the land on the battlefield are dark (green) on the left and blue on the right, whereas undercity sewers is blue on the left and dark (black) on the right.

[@dreamingdeer-42]

Combo Serge = best Serge!

[@MTG_Scribe]

Look I'm pretty new to Canlander but I think it's unfair that they let Wheeler not only have a sideboard but also start with the entire thing in his hand.

[@Brall_]

My favorite format i dont play! Must comment for engagement.

[@irt3hsaint]

I asked my Chinese mum how to pronounce Xinye and she said it's pronounced "Sing-Ee"

[@kamma333444]

That first game was brutal with shutting down someone's deck.

[@conradf587]

Feels wrong to not call ben's deck 'Pat Pod'

[@RayneOfSalt]

27:20 - Shouldn't Nelson's Ajani have exiled itself and flipped when the cat token was sacrificed?

[@TheLookout27]

Nah, because Ajani died at the same time, so while it technically triggers for seeing the token die it isn't on the battlefield to then exile itself.

[@RayneOfSalt]

@@TheLookout27 ahh, gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me 🙂

[@Keyw]

god I love canadian highlander

[@thetsubamehub2139]

Throwdown!

[@buechler11]

Great vid

[@lifestyle936]

Highlander=awesome

[@batata3399]

Serge bot sad... Serge bot Will take Revenge!

[@noahmccormack2685]

What dice do you use for the d6?

[@viperion_nz]

When your friend says their deck is a 7 (Yes Canlander is supposed to be cutthroat...but look at the other decks and say they were on the same level)

[@Megamaduo]

yeah i know man storm lines are crazy

[@DHogsett]

♥

[@tradewindsails]

Lol storm

[@markdunlap9960]

Seeky-jiki pod

[@spaghetttboi]

Engagement

[@kevinwestermann1001]

All the cuties \o/

[@nickchaput219]

Wheeler could have just invented a new deck that he's never played before unless you're telling me the format is solved in which case that's boring
