Want to watch Wheeler play Commander with me on Shuffle Up? It already happened here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap-mfayvj712epI

[@ElDocBruh]

Oh I remember this gem 🌝

[@wormspeaker]

The appearance of Ben Wheeler in Friday Nights that the Prof mentioned is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH6XgKOYgJKjmqs However, fun fact, it's not his first appearance in Friday Nights, that's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXibYYiOo6lontE

[@_JackNapier]

Can I offer a suggestion off topic? Make a playlist from Oldest to Newest and another playlist from Newest to Oldest and have them at the top of your playlist section. I've watched quite a few of your uploads and enjoyed them wholely for months✌️

[@bAd12cheZ]

thank you.@@wormspeaker

[@bwheelermtg]

Thank you for having me, it was great to be there

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Thanks for being here, it was a pleasure to have you.

[@Milkb0t]

I watch every video with you in it Wheeler. You're my MTG hero!

[@bahamut8995]

He said the thing!

[@maxdixonman]

It's a north 100 showdown a Canadian highlander throwdown

[@CalebDenn]

He said the thing!!

[@PascalMaynard]

I had an awesome time, thanks alot Prof and crew :)

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Thanks for joining us!

[@stephend6172]

The first pick joke was top tier!

Merci Pascal pour bien représenter le français!! ❤

Those arms 😅 not being thirsty... 😅😅

[@princephantom1294]

Thank you for having Wheeler, it was great to have him here.

[@clemos1845]

Serge: I'm here too

[@9clawtiger]

43:36 Prof doesn't know Serge's reputation as "The nicest person to ever Strip Mine lock you"

[@jarzz3601]

he truly is the jeff leonard of mtg

[@dalinarthered]

​@@jarzz3601 wild to see a jeff reference here

[@markosvafeas]

I'm so relieved Wheeler specified that it's great to be there, I was beginning to get very anxious about his status.

[@LazarusIsBackBaby]

"Reverberated that Goblin Grenade bay-bee!" Spice8rack is rubbing off on the Prof & it's adorable 😊

[@Jlizard27]

We Stan a plosive Professor!

[@Flip4Crypt]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@ScornfulEg0tist]

Spice wrote the script for that moment

[@TheEvilCheesecake]

you can't say that, this is a family show.

[@ClexYoshi]

It makes me smile the more I see Wheeler and Serge get to be outside of LRR. North 100 showdown has legitimately become one of my favorite gameplay shows and I really would love the chance to try the format some day. Thank you for showing it off here, Prof.

[@tiberiusnod]

"Walking Ballista dies to state based incompetence" good one 😅👍

[@NicolaiBolas]

I can't stop laughing at, "Oh there's a Tarmogoyf! That's an easy first pick." Pascal is such a legend and I loved seeing him as a guest! (57:40 timestamp for anyone who wants to see it). Also, I guess I'll explain the reference for newer players. Pascal Maynard was in the Top 8 of a Grand Prix and had the choice between a foil Tarmogoyf (worth around $400 at the time) and Burst Lightning (a worthless Common that was strong in Draft and would have made his deck better). He took the Tarmogoyf and it caused an uproar because people thought it was crazy to see someone money drafting in a high level event.

[@Villakarvarousku]

Ah, I'd heard of the Tarmogoyf pick so I knew what they were referencing, but I didn't realise it was actually him! Thanks!

[@Takermania70]

What a silly non-issue that people got mad about. $400 is a lot of money and I think most of us would have done the same

[@Charlesxo]

@@Takermania70Should check the prize winning for the GP. The burst lightning would have been *insanely* good for this deck, and ironically made him lose later in the actual games.

[@donb7519]

​@@Charlesxoyea but its not like it guarantees him the win and the tarmagoyf eventually sold for like 2k

[@finnpeterson4335]

@@donb7519 Plus he gave a lot of the money away to charity (if not all of the money.) So it ended up being much better for the world that he took the Goyf overall.

[@zacharyellis6363]

Thank you for having me. It's great to be here!

[@TARDISman85]

when the universe came into existence, wheeler was there to thank it for having him. when the last star blinks out of the sky, he will be there to say it's great to be here.

[@AutkastKain]

This is quite possibly the best episode of North 100 I've ever seen

[@colinjones5379]

A Canadian Highlander thRRRRRRowdown

[@NicolaiBolas]

1:16:42 is perfection! Pascal not knowing the card, Ben and Prof leaning in to help, and then both of them realizing at the same time that the card is in English! I love it!

[@jonathanrobinson8926]

Wheeler continuously pushing his glasses up during his "well aykshually" moment is honestly one of the funniest bits I have ever seen in my life. 🤣

[@jonathanrichman2330]

Omg I just finished the LRR 10 hour canlander 2023 championship yesterday. This video came out at the perfect time! I’m so excited Canadian Highlander is my favorite format.

[@ubermusli]

Canlander?! On Shuffle up and play?! I must have been like a really good dog in a previous life!

[@WIBYTIEDH]

"I thought you Canadians were nice" *laughs in Poutine*

[@joshuajohnson2532]

Yay for Yager! I honestly love watching Serge play because of how well he explains his lines/what he’s thinking.

[@NicolaiBolas]

"and my biggest opponent... Prof on my team," is such a hilarious closing one liner in an episode filled with great one liners. Even funnier with the absolute contrast of Prof gushing about having Pascal on his team! I loved this episode! Thanks for assembling these great guests and and making another excellent video Prof!

[@josh___something]

Some great comedy

[@baltosstrupelos302]

We're all rooting for Serge; he's the nicest guy to ever strip mine lock you.

[@mikotagayuna8494]

Applying such a point system to Commander is intriguing to me. It will probably open up a lot of variety in cEDH without actually banning anything. In casual, it can be translated into some sort of salt score that can do much to ease the need of a Rule 0 talk.

[@NeoSamurai13]

Serge's commentary was so appreciated! It really added to the experience.

[@RhadeBoss]

Wheeler visibly trying to maintain his politeness during Prof's explanation of CanLander is genuinely hilarious and brilliant 👍😁🤣🤣

[@ljlk8583]

it's really unfortunate that these videos don't get as many views as the commander videos. These are my absolute favourite and it's how I usually learn about new formats. This episode was absolutely amazing!

[@styfen]

Canadian Highlander is such an excellent example of why the reserve list denies the masses amazing magic games.

[@phillcampora6451]

Just use proxys. My playgrup uses almost exlusivley proxies. We played a vintage cube powered super fun.

[@jimbotoast8540]

You wouldn't PROXY A MAGIC CARD!????? :O :O *gasp of horror*

[@dimitriasimov356]

I am too the point where I am gonna do this just cause I am tired of being forced in to 1v1 commander when my other buddies cant play

[@janmelantu7490]

Oh my god prof you managed to condense all the ribbing from all 42 episodes of North 100 showdown into the first 10 minutes of this one episode

[@ectro24]

Being able to watch more North 100 Showdown on a different channel with amazing guests is a wonderful thing to wake up to

[@SnowHermit89]

The Lego Yoda Death Scream @7:33 was so not expected but I laughed so hard lmfao

[@Flip4Crypt]

I was trying to figure out where I had heard that from! What the fuck haha

[@davidwillsey7508]

It’s fun to see a format where one can finally play Canadian Jeweled Lotus!

[@bencaswell1956]

Wheeler rolling snake eyes on camera is deep Wheeler lore now.

[@psymar]

having seen several of the dice rolls here, did he have a recent interaction with Wil Wheaton

[@milhousevanhoutan9235]

@@psymarWhelp, he'll never roll right again. Mercer hit the solution on the head "never take your dice into the same room as Wheaton."

[@denistalbot1829]

Thank for having Maynard, it was great to have a french canadian here

[@MrFezzikk]

Team Serge just because he was super friendly when I met him at the noodle shop next to Magic-con Chicago.

[@simonwiklund3554]

The zoom-in on Wheeler makes me so happy. Thank you for having him and Serge. It's great to see them here🧡

[@jonlangthorne7924]

Wow Ben Wheeler really invented a lot of things for Magic, what a guy!

[@olly123451]

I heard he invented Islands

[@jacefairis1289]

idk why, but all of Wheeler's german cards having the translation overlaid on top of them was really funny to me

[@bobtheninjagoldfish]

Man, since the Title is 'W/north 100" I feel we need to give a Shout out to Nelson, who is also part of the show. Now We need Nelson on SUP!

[@cliff5n0t3s]

Maybe a SUP roadshow where he goes up to Victoria and borrows studio time? Hang up cheesy banner in background for SUP if he does it.

[@pytawidmo]

Oh, hey, it's the premiere Shandalar streamer Benjamin Wheeler!

[@MrGrovak]

Im 5 minutes in an I see the banter is already top notch, this is going to be a great episode!

[@MakeVarahHappen]

I always love what round two starts with enough time you don't know if it goes long or if there's a round three.

[@christianmenard3233]

Hey, I know that guy, I go bother him multiple times a week at La boutique mythique.... Talking about that, Hey Pascal, are my cards ready for a pick up? :P

[@PascalMaynard]

First thing in the morning! 😉

[@WhereHeInsertedTheBladee]

the four coolest mtg figures playing the objectively best format. What a day

[@Reuben.Aotearoa]

Did they also play Premodern?

[@WhereHeInsertedTheBladee]

@@Reuben.Aotearoa no. The best format must contain Squeaking Pie Sneak

[@joshrist]

Baby faced wheeler is a sight to behold. He shaves and goes back to gradeschool.

[@koolaiddude7685894]

Lmao Wheeler could literally sit on his hands in silence and still somehow be the funniest person in the room 😂 Great episode!

[@NaldoNidoking]

Prof is totally right, Lotus into Leatherback Baloth really makes me want to play Canadian Highlander.

[@camthehorrorfan]

57:27 Prof: *Looks at the top five cards of his library and casually reveals a Black Lotus* "Is this a land? Or this going on the bottom of my library?" The sass in his voice there had me cracking up 😂

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

I needed that mana SO. BAD.

[@psymar]

​@@TolarianCommunityCollegeFortunately your opposing team appears to have contracted the Wheaton Dice Curse somehow... although I'm only on game 2 as I watch this

[@Crowned_Goblin]

Wheeler and Serge are my Canlander dads who I love very much.

[@JJW410]

Never seen Canadian Highlander but it's a super-enjyoable format to watch! Love the variety! :D

[@huddlestonb16]

Such a cool format. Thanks for showcasing it!

[@broshmosh]

North 100 Showdown and Shuffle Up & Play are my main KZbin MTG shows. This crossover was great, thank you :) #TeamSerge!

[@kylebrochill21]

Not even 2 minutes in and I'm dying. Love the series, love the guests, love the host! Thanks everyone to involved, ya'll truly make my Mondays bearable.

[@grifffourn8200]

Absolutely pumped for this. Love seeing the best way to play Magic get more spotlight.

[@CovetedPeacock]

Always nice to see Mr. Thank You For Having Me, It's Great To Be Here! Love Canlander, and these are some stellar guests to play the format with!

[@Xalyn937]

I just want to honestly thank you for this episode and having the boys on.

[@thatepicwizardguy]

So this is something: Serge reminds me SO MUCH of Tao Nick from the Play On Tabletop youtube channel with how he speaks and his enthusiasm and everything. Absolutely a compliment, both guys seem to love their games to death and are very good as well. Also I guess just shoutout to Play On, that channel is really great for Warhammer 40k content (and other tabletop wargames) for people who are interested!

[@kevinpeden3610]

I don't watch LRR, but I feel I should start, because I was impressed with Serge's commentary during the first match. Plus, I'm Canadian too, so gotta support the countrymen. 8)

[@zramirez5471]

Prof the editing on this is totally next level!!! Props to the staff on the other side of the camera!

[@SithOnix]

LOVE the video! Serge and Wheeler are two great canadian boys (as is our Kebecois friend), and bringing attention to such a great format with your channel is highly appreciated! Great episode thankls so much!

[@RegginaldRiglet]

I laughed from start to finish. Classic shuffle up & play episode. These are the best

[@lostlyric5548]

I love the group you had today , it’s always hilarious seeing you interact with wheeler and surge you guys are some of my favorite magic players

[@hennhales]

god I love this format and these guest. what a slam dunk

[@SedgeHermit]

The sitting on that Force of Will until the most brutal possible moment is the difference between an average player and a Pro Tour top 8 finisher.

[@jebsoj]

I really like from time to time seeing high-powered play like this. Also, all the guests were delightful and fun to watch. Great episode!

[@Hollow_Bingus]

This RULES im so happy to see Canadian Highlander on this channel!!!!!

[@rubsomebacononit9843]

To begin I love Serge, and am so hyped to see him on this channel. Candian Highlander is what brought me back into Magic and its allure is constant. I hope that we see more support of the format from game stores because competitive Canlander is a dream of mine.

[@s.e.m.6535]

Highlander ist the best Magic Format and I''am happy to see it get a platform here. Greetings from Austria

[@SvenScharfenberg]

Great guests and episode. More LRR / Pascal please :)

[@kennyrichardson3842]

This is perhaps the funniest episode of Shuffle Up and Play I've watched, I'm consistently laughing my *ULAMOG* off. Would love to see this group again!

[@gabrielfregeau8008]

That "S'il vous plait, abonnez-vous!" was perfect prof !

[@ansith27]

Top-notch Tarmogoyf joke from the man himself! Great episode!

[@lgb4]

I feel like I was really there, it was great. Thanks for having me.

[@pajurr]

I am team Serge (lol) To be honest, I never understood Canadian Highlander by just looking at it for 30 seconds before, and Prof you did it in a single sentence with "Canadian Commander 1v1 without commanders". Hi from France, have a nice day

[@TyranitarStudios]

Thank you for having canadian highlinder! It's great to have it here!

[@dunstonlion1342]

I appreciate the little nod to spice 8 with the goblin grenade "Ba-BY"

Great episode, always happy to see LRR folks having fun with the greater Magic community!

[@cerealforserious]

Everyone's energy and chemistry was so good in this episode! 💜

[@farty555]

Great gameplay and banter 😆 wheelers delivery of "that has no abilities" when the baloth came down was perfect. Also the prof's 'oh becuz he delves' was an amazing save

[@bububu__]

this format is awesome, please make more videos of it

[@drren1229]

I would absolutely love more Canadian Highlander here. It's competitive and singleton but is way more varied than cedh because you can't just play all the best cards legal in the format.

[@graeme5048]

Serge and Wheeler continue to be delightful in front of any camera

[@samuelbrown649]

Serge and Wheeler are 2 of my favorite players ( at least when they are together) I enjoy the constant bickering and ect. is always entertaining.

[@LightPink]

Yoooo! I actually visited La Boutique Mythique and had no idea the owner was so accomplished!

[@Ramperdos]

Awesome to see some Canadian Highlander, which was my playgroup's favorite format (+8 years ago). I got recently more interested in watching Commander contant and watched +10 videos of Shuffle Up & Play last week. Looking forward to seeing some gameplay with the upcoming Eldrazi deck, hopefully!

[@ImJustHereToWatch14]

44:00 Fun fact, there was actually a Wheeler appearance years earlier on Friday Nights when he ran a pre-release!

[@STS-qi1qy]

Love the Wheeler on Prof 'conflict' and the Wheeler on Serge 'conflict' and....

[@retro.7673]

You know you have a great series when the “next time on shuffle up and play” preview gets me hyped for the next video 💜. Love it.

[@pookygallahad4749]

Serge and the Prof both seem to play very similarly in style, like from the heart and emotionally led as opposed to hyper-vigilant. Their game was a fun watch :) edit: all games were a fun watch

[@ThePooyaka]

Very entertaining video, Canadian highlander looks like a great format and something I'd like to look into! Thanks Prof!

[@AlexiconPrime]

I love that prof is using Elder Dragon Social Club sleeves. Such a great subtle 'solidarity' move.

[@mateuszgrela9184]

My two favorite mtg gameplay shows had a crossover, and they say dreams don't come true

As someone called Pascal this is the closest thing to living my dream of playing in one episode of this show.

[@craiglehman2351]

The look of disdain Wheeler had shaking Serge's hand. Lol

[@alchemicpink2392]

Aaah, the dulcet tones of Wheeler are a good addition to the TCC.

[@deltoran11]

Leatherback Baloth is my all-time favourite magic card and I'm extremely pleased to see it in this video. Black Lotus into Baloth absolutely makes me want to play Canlander

[@DorkmasterFlek]

Gods I'm only through the first game between Wheeler and Pascal but _holy geez_ I love this format. 😂

[@Thanathors]

The mythic store is my card store and it's awesome! Happy to see Pascal here!

[@jdlazin]

Go Team Serge! Like the Professor, I also learned through you and how thoughtfully you explain your turns. Unfortunately I don't beat "my Wheeler" often.

[@arkb0t379]

This Pascal Maynard guy sure knows a thing or two about picking Tarmogoyfs

[@derekdenis]

Canadians will see this episode and just be like "hell yeah eh"

[@heebysdaman]

I love this mashup. Just after the die rolls and I already know this is going to be good.
