UW Tempo vs Pattern Rector || North 100 Showdown

[@PleasantKenobi]

I love these people, I love this format. This might be the only gameplay series I begin to religiously watch.

[@mewr11]

I'm so hyped for this series

[@ladsworld]

hearing serge and wheeler talk through their plays and their thought process is fascinating, loving this show so far

[@dannewhall5256]

I can't stress enough how much I am going to enjoy watching these! I love canlander paper friday nights, and these will fill in that void of watching paper magic. Also just enjoy seeing a variety of different decks.

[@gkiyo]

Ah man I've been excited for this ever since it was announced, glad it's finally here! This should be a great matchup too.

[@TruBoreDOM]

Hell yes North 100 showdown I always love the prerecorded content you wonderful people do.

[@LtSMASH324]

I'm surprised they didn't go with snowdown

[@Nathar45]

I love the format, but even more I love how you too play it, openly discussing the lines and what you're trying to do. It's very fun and stimulating to follow.

[@siltyroach1584]

I was starting to think about re watching the vod for "episode 0". Thanks so much for this guys this is so nice

[@jussikivela1914]

This is so great. I just love the mix of seriousness, gentleman rivalry and love for the game. Loving this.

[@NotGene624]

This is exactly the kind of series I've wanted since I first heard about Canadian Highlander from LRR. Thank you for making it! I can't wait for more

[@2424Lars]

The only downside is that we don't get an episode everyday! This is the type of magic content that I crave, thank you so much for creating this new series!

[@adambillen5164]

I’m concussed so avoid video, happy to say I’ve watched serge and wheeler play so much canlander I followed along with the entire episode without video… descriptive commentary + the slow hum of grunts, tongue clicks, card flicks, har-umphs, and laughs tells me all I need to know about the match

[@ZhangHe2369]

Finally get to see sandy played by wheeler. Probably one of my favorite decks ever.

[@SlainBlackguard]

The discussion on different lines is great!

[@impishrunt]

Massive appreciation for this series! You guys are the best.

[@Pyrodactyl]

i live vicariously through Serge and Wheeler playing Canlander :D

[@insanecrusties]

North 100 is always there to brighten my day when I need it most! Stoked for this new series and hope it's here to stay!!

[@ShDragon1]

This is fascinating to watch. I wonder if, since these are meant as pretty much "exhibition matches", taking it to a best of 5 instead of 3 would be a thing to do just by default (or at least removing treating it as a standard best-of-3 match). The goal isn't to see who wins, but to show off the decks.

[@WeatheredPeach]

Really enjoying the discussions that happen when you share information mid-game that you wouldn't do in a more "serious" setting, super interesting to get that kind of insight into your thought processes! :)

[@Chatty_Protagonist]

Immediately enjoying this. Also, "KZbin has a 2x speed is a devastating roast.

[@person3176]

Never stop doing these!

[@notsm]

This was a really chill watch. I'd love to see more of it.

[@philavoie]

I miss the random Paul's comment in the background. Great series, nicely edited, best players. Serge and Wheeler are national treasure.

[@dylanthomas2393]

Always happy for more CanLander content!

[@Eraxley]

Love me some highlander! Great to see a show such as this! Really dig what you are all doing with the new channels and new off-stream shows, both here and on the other channels!

[@ExtrudedClown]

I am 100% going to be showing these to people, I'm aiming to start a canlander scene at my uni and this feels like an easy in to the format in tandem with some proxied decks

[@rileykeith5980]

My favorite deck that Ben has played is Sorensen Tempo, and Serge on any configuration of lands is so much fun to watch! Btw if y'all are considering throwing in some guest stars, I'd love to see Ben Ulmer stomp y'all with RDW or Blue moon!

[@BeardedNarwhal]

Going back and catching up on these. Not getting a, "Thanks for having me, Serge, it's great to be here," sent chills down my spine.

[@poikl73]

so excited for more regular canadian highlander content!!

[@jamestrevelyan1268]

This is exactly what I’ve been wanting for years! Super hyped.

[@goody0857]

Absolutely loving this content, i’m not someone who’s into competitive/tournament magic or has ever played Canadian highlander but it’s very fun to watch you two play your favorite(?) format!

[@thesoundofwhitenoise2122]

I'm surprised Wheeler isn't wearing the Beej Phases shirt, to counter Serge wearing the regular phases shirt.

[@ianm5448]

When Ben said "KZbin has a 2x Speed option" hahahaha, the man looked through my screen and backhanded my soul!

[@samwalter940]

Great games guys! Love the alternate line discussion and am so hyped for this!

[@samkeefer4747]

Great start to the series! Like many others have said the discussions around the plays are my favorite part. New card choices for the deck since the pandemic would be fun to add to the deck intro to help crystalize the gameplan and matchup considerations.

[@milg44]

Been so stoked and waiting for this since it was teased on Friday!

[@thebreckify]

Excellent showmanship guys. I love that this is a showcase of the decks, where we get to see the thought processes, and discussions of lines not taken. Could I put in a request to see one of Wheeler's medium red decks some time in the series.

[@flip5672]

So excited for even more impeccable canlander content from you guys, this was great!

[@MrDiscountNinja]

OOOH! BIG HYPE! I've missed some North 100 that isn't set reviews. I love those too, but, boy howdy, I want more Canlander please.

[@ChargeAh]

Some serious gentlemen's Magic going down here, good show lads

[@joshbaker1639]

I’ve never seen Canadian Highlander before, barely even heard of it actually. But I’m really liking it and glad you all started this series!

[@IRFine]

“Take your time, KZbin has a 2x speed button” Lmaooooooo

[@ricato2]

Finally! I've been so hype for this

[@timothyhartel3480]

Such a great program, makes me want to get my friends into this format. Thanks y’all

[@dizzycriminal]

Canlander is the thing that keeps me playing Magic, and you guys introduced me to it. All of this content, plz

[@DeronHargrove]

Very good first episode and I appreciate the discussion on lines of play

[@rileykeith5980]

Much love for y'all from North Carolina!

[@DefinitelyNotReal627]

I remember Alex on I believe a North 100 was the first person to put in plain English how tempo and midrange feel to play, like you’re dying right up until your opponent is actually dead. Aggro either I can sprint you down or I can’t and if you start to stabilize either I have the reach or I don’t, all of which is usually pretty clear to the aggro player. On control once I get out in front of it, maybe one or two 2-for-1s provided I’m not on death’s door I’m pretty much in the clear. Baring a colossal fuck on my part or a major outplay by my opponent it’s just a mopping up exercise. For midrange though, my margins are so slim on both sides It’s a major struggle to ever get clear and take over the game or impose my plan on my opponent. Having potential game against everyone opens the door for everyone to have game against me right up till the end.

[@tristan9125]

This is an excellent series already

[@caw555]

Hell yeah, been looking forward to this

[@robaphone251]

Loved this episode and I'm super hyped for the series! Will probably be watching each episode multiple time. My one recommendation would be to align the dagger (knife/sword thing) in the N100 logo with the split in the cameras during the in-between games overlay. I'm by no means a graphic design expert though so I defer to the magicians at LRR but seems like it would work.

[@CasualKing21]

Hell yeah! Been waitin' for this!

[@zhrang7118]

So happy to have more Canlander content coming out!

[@nicholasfalasco8539]

Game two was a nail biter. Excellent work, Serge and Wheeler.

[@keladrygoodell]

Love this being a series! Reminds me of the grand ol' days of the seasonal Highlander tournaments that were on FNPF, but I love that in this format there's much more focus on clarity and engaging highlander play because there isn't the rush of being live during a late time slot, and of course it keeps FNPF slots open, when Highlander isn't everyone's cup of tea and dedicating at least one week/month to those tournaments could be a lot for those who wanted to see more different kinds of magic played.

[@swenerickson1704]

This is perfect. More of all of this forever plz

[@corydharma]

This was great, just decided to look up Canadian Highlander today, and this looks pretty fun to build for

[@Sientir]

This was great! I'm glad this is a series, and I look forward to the next one. :D

[@cadenswanson870]

Awesome new series! I’ve been very hyped for it since it was announced. Always Love the chemistry you two have, but would be interested in seeing the old hosts of n100 as guests (Liam, jer, alex) if they aren’t too busy. Thank you for making more content about this awesome format, and being all around great people :)

[@Kadenus311]

Canlander is my favorite magic content, so I'm stoked for this series!

[@bendertusepaki8995]

Always hyped for more highlander content!

[@vagrantvienna]

Love that you used the North 100 title music 👍

[@shatteredseraphine]

I started playing magic in Khans block. Fauna Shaman was... well, not quite hot off the press, but recent enough to where a friend at school had one and played it. I can confirm my first reaction to seeing Survival in some cube video was "hey, it's Fauna Shaman but not a creature!" Good times.

[@shatteredseraphine]

39:59

[@Legionnaire2017]

Finally seeing Pattern Rector in action! In which may or may not see said cards actually be played!

[@10tanksonawall]

Very excited for this series going forward! Can't wait for more N100 content!

[@joshpmatthews]

Yes! More LRRMTG content to get behind, today is a great day.

[@lorenfarque1571]

HELL YEAH POWERFUL MAGIC. Super here for this series, loving it!!

[@kingblinn]

Love it! Please keep these coming, so great

[@pablooldaq2816]

Amazing game play! Congrats to both players. Keep those games comming

[@MrMarclax]

this was a blast. Can't wait for more.

[@Adam-ce7hr]

This is a great series can't wait to see more! For future videos, would you consider doing a brief prerecorded section where you discuss your deck and show card art for specific cards / key concepts.

[@wormspeaker]

I love watching Canlander.

[@SJR2301]

Great content as always. Excited to see more canlander

[@mattshimizu7034]

Its here! This is the MTG content I need in my life

[@byd1516]

Great content, I am really looking forward to the next episode

[@kryoling]

It's both of their forever decks ! For the first episode!! Flavor Win !!!

[@samkeefer4747]

To answer Serge's question at the end, I would love to see a match-up between two blue midrange decks like jeskai and bug and the two of you going through the benefits of the other colors in that match-up and against the meta at large. Also some insights on how blue midrange is changing relative to back in the lightning angel era would be sweet.

[@anodaram5]

So hyped for this series! Paper canlander is the most enjoyable magic to both watch and play.

[@colinjones5379]

This show is appointment viewing

[@jdcommander7026]

SOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful to get more CHL action. I miss Jeremy putting in games, too, as we have even less content. Every time LRR does CHL, I always get sad when they hit the last game and call time. Thankful to get a bit more to watch (although I'd stick around if you jammed like 5-7 games vice 2-3). Cant wait for next week. Would love to see Ben's take on an updated Jeskai Control deck, too.

[@Totma]

it's every other week

[@thomasleffers5304]

I'm so F'*ing happy for this! Please more moremoremoremore thank you!

[@TenPace]

I loved this, good magic while also learning something new.

[@jmcalcy69]

God I love Canadian Highlander content, especially with Benjamin & Serge.

[@lordmeep5803]

Love it!! So good, well played each of you

[@zacharyrichard3830]

Love it. Can’t wait for more.

[@byd1516]

If you are interessted in sugesstions on what decks you should play, i would be happy to see medium red oder medium green. I really like those decks, they feel very canlander for me.

[@spiffinn_music_lists]

very excited about these videos!

[@KatNBows]

Love the games! So happy for the new series

[@stephan5574]

Very nice, thanks for the game. One minor thing that for me came across wrong, the revellark could not bring back the Kitchen Finks, not because the Revellark was exiled, but because the Finks has 3 power. In that moment and during the discussion in the context of that interaction they highlight the importance of Exile spells, but the revellark has a leave play clause, so it does trigger but can't return anything.

[@dumpsterfire9345]

so much HYPE!

[@TheSilverGekko]

exactly the type of content i want to see. cheers!

[@mrscratch47]

I hope this series is going to be a thing. I would love to see more.

[@LRRMTG]

It IS going to be a thing!

[@joshuajordan1300]

Great games, guys! I’d love to see my favorite deck pop up in one of these episodes-good old Medium Red (or dare I suggest it, Big Red). Play on!

[@drknowtoomuchproductions5438]

Excited for this series!

[@EternalRoxas]

Hello Algorithm, it's great to be here (and this show SLAPS)

[@nloloew]

As always the canlander content is super fun to watch! The only criticism I have is that the benefits of the content being produced for youtube rather than twitch could be leveraged more, as this almost feels like a VOD of one of the canlander streams. If there are multiple relevant cards being discussed, you can show multiple cards at once. If an ability is being activated, you can bring up that card image for a shorter period of time than would be ideal in a stream because viewers can pause the video if they don't know what the card does, and if they don't need to read it, the video can continue at its normal pace. Like I said, it was great to watch, but just a few extra things like this can help you make the most of this content format

[@TheGamblingisgood]

Omg actual sandy b

[@cajoma01]

Haven't ever gotten to play canlander but I always enjoy watching it. Magic the gathering sure is a great game! Looking forward to more of this series!

[@Riderbooker]

Need me some more of these Mortal Kombat-ass VS screen poses for these thumbnails.

[@PMitch23]

Love this… please more of this!!!
