Wheeler has MASSSIVE "He can't kep getting away with this" energy

[@raisins7777]

Saw in Half uses modified p/t, rounded up. Ravenloft was a 5/6, so the two tokens are 3/3s.

[@N8Maple01]

Except that copies are of the card as printed. Also, both of these men have been judges for years. If they agree on the the result, there is a very good chance they are correct.

[@Mordalon]

@@N8Maple01 Maybe it's a good chance, but are you certain they were right in this instance? The copies aren't just "as printed", last known information tracks what that creature's P/T was when destroyed. The Skullspore Nexus is a recent example of a card specifically designed around being able to modify a dying creatures stats in order to increase the size of the token it creates.

[@raisins7777]

@@N8Maple01 They make mistakes all the time. This is straight from the gatherer rulings. "Use the power and toughness of the creature from when it was last on the battlefield to determine the power and toughness of the tokens."

[@ToSGod]

@@N8Maple01Judges can still make mistakes, like this time. And it’s ok. It’s far too late for this interaction, but maybe they will remember it in the future to help them win a game.

[@Myth01010101]

Thanks for playing, it was great to watch you guys.

[@janmelantu7490]

If you’re playing Raven’s Crime, you could use the 7-point deck name “That’s so Raven’s Crime”. You could also go for the Scam angle with “Rack-eteering” or “Rat-Level Marketing” or “Multi-Rat Marketing”. Or you could go for the plain discard angle with “Head Empty No Thoughts”

"Monoblack Eat Your Cheese" seems like a good name for a Rat version of Ruin-your-evening

Massively underrated comment

Ben "I have a hand full of lands, but refuse to loot with my ring bearer" Wheeler

[@gkiyo]

These deck names are pure art. What a match up.

[@Kieza12]

Nelson is a delight every time he's on the show

[@davidstreicher1103]

It occurs to me that Karakas combos pretty well with Call of the Ring. Every turn you can make any creature you control legendary, then bounce it with Karakas and replay it to recur its ETB effect- could make for an interesting way to lockdown an opponent with Spellstutter Sprite.

[@elmerinase5734]

I love the intromusic so much. What a banger.

[@poikl73]

so excited for these decks + more Nelson!!

[@Liz-Istrata]

Love to see somebody come and play The Rock at some point on this series.

[@hiygamer]

Shouldn't the Saw in Half tokens Wheeler made in game one have been 3/3s? When the Ravenloft Adventurer died, it has 2 +1/+1 counters on it, making it a 5/6. It wouldn't have changed the eventual outcome of the game, but it would would have changed the combat math, because at 21:27, Wheeler would have been attacking for lethal.

[@TsukunAP]

"Ratting your evening" could be a good one

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you. I love me some North 100 showdown! Also Scrats gets my vote for the deck name.

[@lewkycharmes]

Hey all, I've been struggling to see a reason for this channel not to be in the hundreds of thousands of subs, this channel, cast and crew are amazing. Please share with your MTG friends whenever you can. 🤗/hugehugs

[@kryoling]

I AM BEAMING AS WIDE AS MY MOUTH CAN GO! I SCREAMED 'RAT SCAM?!' AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL!

[@FineOtter]

Deck name suggestion: Mono-Black Ruin Your Pantry

[@JEHNLEROY]

I really wish N100S episodes came out weekly. I would take bi weekly even, but I’m a sicko.

[@joeyjacob4868]

I've been trying to brew mono-black ruin your evening ever since the mono-white ruin your evening episode. Haven't come to a exact 100 that i'm happy with, but it's been fun watching new cards come out and change how i want to build it.

[@Krazy4golf11]

With deck names i would also like to add "its a rat scam" to the tune of im a scat man

[@steamer86]

Watching this made me realize that Kefnet, Sylvan Library and any Turn card (but especially time twister as its fun) is a infinite turn loop, which is really cool!

[@m1gr3nA]

i'm failing to see what the loop is. i assume you want to loop extra turns. could you explain? also time twister does not give you another turn, did you mean time walk?

[@steamer86]

I meant the Temporal mastery my bad Wrong time card. Loop is for the infinite turns: I am not sure how Kefnet interacts with Miracle cost but assuming Time Walk is on top. Draw, reveal and copy with Kefnet, draw 2 more cards with Library, use Library to stack the time wallk back on top. Rinse and repeat

[@m1gr3nA]

@@steamer86 ah got it. if you have time walk on top you use kefnet to copy it from sylvan draw and then float it second from the top to not draw it in draw step. this will work with scroll rack too with some extra steps i guess. very nice, i will have to try it. thanks for the explanation.

[@KaiserChef]

Late to the party but "Ratatouille ruined my dinner" would be my vibe for deck name.

[@TyranitarStudios]

In 3 months we'll have Ikoria's 4th birthday, damn

[@Khord22]

OKAY BUT consider the deck name *Scram*

[@Helperg]

I have a WB deck with a similar archetype of having any given individual creature being more of a hastle to deal with than it's worth. I can my deck "negative calories" to keep woth the old tradition of naming decks after food-related affairs. I hope this engagement has engagemented

[@malcomstringer4619]

The fact that he didn't use Rat Pack for a name is a missed opportunity.

[@Enigma-od6ex]

I really like the name "death of a thousand 'master' splinters"

[@buhlian]

While playing old school I have definitely mulled to 5, played a Library, and sat there for 3 turns. It's not about winning, it's about making a statement. This is the way.

[@hummbirb1384]

I just saw the title and knew I had to watch this, there is no way these are real deck titles

[@pogowitwiz]

"Scrats" is strong, but I swear there's something to the idea of a Shadowmoor version of RYE. Instead of noob-traps it's all seasoned cards and info effects, so something like "(thought)Seizing the Day" might work, but then you run into its acronym being "STD."

[@donaldtaylor724]

Seize the day is already the name of a card, so there’s awkwardness there too

[@zaneandevan]

I'm playing "rats" or sometimes referred to as "mono black good stuff" (game two, a synopsis)

[@ProfMaple]

So I want you to know this Canadian Highlander video has inspired me to build a pauper commander deck called rat scam now as most of the scam cards besides the elementals are common 😂

[@joakimbredaljacobsen3231]

When you are controlling another player while searching, you also get to see their hand and otherwise hidden zones :)

[@AwesomethChuc]

Rat-tening your evening

[@EmitationKrab]

Personally I would just name Wheeler's deck "At Least 7 Rats"

[@stankmongerjones]

*Gex voice* I haven't seen a bloodbath this big since the pool party at Olivia Voldaren's house!

[@JimmyJames-om2uw]

Wonderful match

[@hiygamer]

The amount of hand hate from Wheeler in this episode was brutal. Mono black can be seriously nasty.

[@sashabdreadful]

Dang that really Showdowns my North 100

[@TenPace]

Always love watching showdown but I noticed and missed some of the betweem-game chatter, at least between 2 and 3.

[@andrewc7866]

Nelson + Wheeler Showdown 😁😁😁

[@ff0213]

In geometry, an octadecagon (or octakaidecagon) or 18-gon is an eighteen-sided polygon. - So maybe Octadecagon Rat King

[@alexscarr5794]

Ratatouille Your Evening for the deck name.

it wasn't the cause of my carpal tunnel, but playing Canadian Highlander and commander have definitely exacerbated my case lmao

[@ashdog9235]

I love miracle as a concept but it can be kinda awkward to play

[@Jakester542]

Formally submitting the name “Cellar Dweller Date Night” for the deck lol

[@tgva8889]

I feel like the reason Nelson lost game 1 felt was because Wheeler went off with the Initiative, I don't think the discarding mattered that much. Nelson probably wouldn't have had that much time to even deploy a lot of those cards given the speed of the initiative and the damage Wheeler was threatening because of it, if he'd just played higher power creatures instead of the rats it might have ended up roughly the same. Game 2 he won because of the Orcish Bowmasters and I feel the rats were a lot less impactful than just completely dumpstering the Jace and preventing Nelson from leveraging any of his card draw without dying horribly. I think game 3 the discarding affected Nelson's plays a bit, but honestly I don't think it mattered as much because he just got very far ahead on cards in the end thanks to Uro so the discard was either not that impactful or negative because it helped Uro get out further. Still not sure if you would rather be playing other cards than a bunch of Ravenous Rats.

[@cliff5n0t3s]

Soooo if they have a “Command Zone” at Magicfest how about forming a “Canadian Embassy” zone in the CZ?

[@NStripleseven]

Missed opportunity to call the deck Scram

[@wiigamer1995]

[@kobylong605]

I believe Nelson did his sylvan wrong at the end of game 1 he draws the brainstorm of the sylvan yet puts two back and ends up with the brainstorm. I believe with sylvan you will always draw the first card of your turn and you cannot change that.

[@poiri]

Incorrect, you draw 2 extra and then (if you don’t pay life) put 2 of all cards drawn that turn on top

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

With Sylvan, it is worded “choose two cards in your hand drawn this turn”. So if you drew 15 in your upkeep and two from howling mine and two from sylvan, you would choose two of those 19 and either put one on top or pay 4 life for each of the 2 chosen that way. It can be cheesed a bit which is neat.

[@kobylong605]

@@johnathanrhoades7751 ahhhh ok that makes sense I knew it didn’t work like brainstorm being able to put any card from your hand back but this is neat thanks for kindly correcting me :)

[@whitneyweiss3067]

this wasnt even fun to watch lol. god. modern card design is so miserable

[@Mordalon]

No it's not. The vast majority of cards are fine and make formats way more interactive. Don't look to a format that uses every mistake from the last 30 years for modern design.

[@flatluigi]

Unsure if it mattered (since I don't know what was in his hand), but the fancy Nature's Lore that Nelson plays in the last game notably doesn't put the forest into play tapped, so he might've been able to play a 2 mana spell and then follow up with Uro on the next turn.

[@jonathangodbolt1671]

How about "Big Cheese" instead of Rat Scam?

You mention Tolarian Academy, i just picked up a copy, largely due to you playing Paradox Academy on N100, so I'm trying to adapt it to 7pt!

[@crowsephonedangerzone]

[@flyingtoastr]

Game 2 is kinda emblematic for why I don't really like Eternal formats at the moment. Black is just so much better than every other color that it's getting exhausting.
