Again, I really appreaciate you talking about your lines and going through them and even helping each other. This really helps people follow the match without either overexplaining or being too fast.
Something I think I'd enjoy in the future is if the actual point totals of the cards being talked about popped up in the edit when they say what their pointed cards are. Wheeler talked about Thoracle possibly being overpointed and it would have been nice to be able to see what it's currently at.
Well thassa is currently 6. So when wheeler said he had an illegal deck. He didn’t because his points are thassa 6, gifts 1, tainted pact 1 mystical 1 and intuition is 1
Welcome to Canada! Filmed in November (I presume) and yet both hosts are in shorts and short sleeves. As for community engagement, my go to for "name a card not in the deck" is always Borborygmos Enraged.
*swallowing the engagement bait hook line and sinker* My Consultation card name is The Cheese Stands Alone. I'm aware that you have to name a card legal in the format (normally a basic land outside of the colours I'm playing)
I was commenting about trying the chump block->reanimate snappy line but then Ben pointed it out himself Knowing Serge had shaman in hand to hate on gy, I would have risked it
10000% taking that consultation, especially if you have Daze and Misstep backup. It's very easy for Wheeler to just kind of draw Oracle or a tutor for it and Duress is good at clearing the way for it.
Thanks for the great games, I have a question: Serge knew what combo deck he was facing so he knew what combo pieces to attack, was that a huge advantage or only a bit of an advantage ?
So obviously I can't directly speak for them, but from my own experience people tend to know about the general combo decks of the format and what cards they need to watch for so on average it might give you a tiny bit of advantage for them not to know, but not as much as you think. Being unknown is more important for the decks playing rogue combos that might have less protection or interaction for their win.
Personally I like to name "Shallow Grave" with 80 cards left in my library for the win and then exile it in the top 6 and lose instantly, but that's just me.
I agree Thoracle could be overpointed right now. I keep getting flashbacks to the first Battleground after she got printed, but I'm willing to put it behind me 😭😂
I don't mind watching a combo deck, I actually love combo decks, I just wish we could have cool combo decks that aren't Thoracle. It's simply too straightforward, I want something with a lot of moving pieces and interesting lines of play.
Then why not name Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental?
"Very brief window where Gitaxian Probe was legal in Legacy". It's hard to believe now but Probe was actually Legacy legal for 7 years, and Modern legal for almost 6. People simply just didn't play it.
Serge is finally on blue-black ninjas!
Thank you for having Thassa, it's great to oracle here
Thassa's for having me, it's oracle to be here.
Thassa for oracling, its great to be consulted.
Oh boy, another episode of the format that I don't play but love to watch!

I am typically all-in on Big Benny Wheels, but I can't in good conscience root for a Thoracle deck. He lived long enough that he's become the villain.
Ben has always been the villen, he is the hill
My Demonic Consultation card is You Are Already Dead, for optimal meme equity.
VERY GOOD
I’m a Sloppity Bilepiper man myself 😂
Ad Nauseum is also enjoyable.
Personally I’m more of an “Ach, Hans run!” Kind of guy
If my friends are particularly annoyed by me playing Thoracle combo, I like to name "nerd rage" to rub it in a little
Welcome to Canada! Filmed in November (I presume) and yet both hosts are in shorts and short sleeves. As for community engagement, my go to for "name a card not in the deck" is always Borborygmos Enraged.
Do you have non-Enraged Borborygmos in it for the extra meme?
"You are already dead" is always a peak one to name. My CEDH pod has players that are fond of "Black Lotus" or, for the real bit "Bird Maiden"
Phenomenal series of games, great plays from both sides and Serge repping some incredible plays from his tempo list, enjoyed this over his UW version.
My lunch just started, and this is posted in seconds?? Thank you for making my workday that much easier 😊
Lunch bros let's go!
FYI, since this video was filmed Thassa’s Oracle was decreased from 7 to 6
Another fun Demonic Consultation target is "You are Already Dead"
*swallowing the engagement bait hook line and sinker*
My Consultation card name is The Cheese Stands Alone. I'm aware that you have to name a card legal in the format (normally a basic land outside of the colours I'm playing)
You could name Barren Glory, since that's basically the same card as the cheese
@@Halinn I could, but it doesn't have a funny name
@@irt3hsaint Think of it as meta-humor
I recently lost to UB Tempo. And I recently built UR Tempo. And I'm truly Jank at heart so mark my words 2025 is the year of Grixis Faerie Tempo.
*FBI wants to know your location*
I will always stop what I'm doing to watch new episodes of north 100 showdown.
I really love this show. Nothing better on a Wednesday.
North 100 Showdown has me pounding the desk at my local LGS to get Canlander going.
Thanks for the games gents! was a very interesting match to watch!
Excellent, as always. Thank you!

I hadn't heard of Flood Moon as a nickname and I absolutely love it!!!!
Combo in a meta is like Grapplers in a fighting game - they've gotta be there to tip the scales, but they can't be too strong or they take over
Thanks for throwing its great to down here
I am here in Europe with weather around 3 degrees and then you are in your shorts, oh man the dream
I was never sure if you could name illegal cards with Demonic Consultation, so I'd always go for "Ach! Hans, Run!"
Serge has the exact point spread I used to run in UB tempo for years - I think I'd probably slot in strip over maybe Dig or Drain these days.
The best Consultation card is objectively Humility. Just being able to say "my deck has NO humility in it" is so funny
Is this the first time that Serge has beaten Wheeler on N100S?
Thank god, I needed this today.
10000% taking that consultation, especially if you have Daze and Misstep backup. It's very easy for Wheeler to just kind of draw Oracle or a tutor for it and Duress is good at clearing the way for it.
The Jazz hands!! I get those every time I play as a combo deck
I haven't watched every episode but I think this is the first time I've seen wheeler lose. GGs serge!
Eliot 2-0
The last time I was this early was never. Happy throwdownday
In game 1 did Ben forget that Cling to Dust can gain life?
Hunted Wumpus is one of my favourite cards! No-ice.
Farewell is my D. Consultation card. I may win or lose at that point, eitherway I'm out of the game...
Thassa’s oracle go-to is “You Are Already Dead” from NEO
Serge with the powerful turn 1 engagement farm. Lets see how it pays off
Thanks for the great games,

Being unknown is more important for the decks playing rogue combos that might have less protection or interaction for their win.
Can someone explain to me what the issue was with the searing vision/preordain thing?
From a newbie, what Serge did seemed to make sense.
My Demonic Consultation card would be "You are already dead", but I'd be hugely obnoxious and say "Omae ma wu, shinderu".
I would've given wheeler the whole combo. His plan never accounts for it. That sets up a potential win for serge.
My Consultation name is Island Fish Jasconius (or something like Pithing Needle/Slaughter Games for the meme)
Usually naming Demonic Consultation for Demonic Consultation.
It felt so weird to be cheering for Serge as our hero after those 2 first turns. Then, as a UB player, he was our savior
I usually name Goblin Charbelcher with Consult. It's less funny with belcher being good in modern now
Wheeler: "I am the devil"
Me: "From the bible!!?!??!"
I'd name "You are already dead." With consultation.
cool games: I wish I had the money to play this format but also the playgoup. There was a event at my lgs a few weeks ago but almost no one came.
Personally I like to name "Shallow Grave" with 80 cards left in my library for the win and then exile it in the top 6 and lose instantly, but that's just me.
I agree Thoracle could be overpointed right now. I keep getting flashbacks to the first Battleground after she got printed, but I'm willing to put it behind me 😭😂
Wheeler is a cutie. Serge is so handsome. Paul is always welcome in any N100
I don't mind watching a combo deck, I actually love combo decks, I just wish we could have cool combo decks that aren't Thoracle. It's simply too straightforward, I want something with a lot of moving pieces and interesting lines of play.
The only group that could make me like Thoracle.
more ninjas than the ninja deck :P
Well, knowing about the DAZE you had in hand, indeed I wouldn't have made him discard Top.
I like naming ancestral recall for my demonic consultations.
my go-to "name a card" that doesn't matter is always Borborygmos, not Borborygmos Enraged
will there be a Foundations set review from North 100?
Yup, already recorded iirc.
Left side of the table lost the die roll? Who are you, and what have you done with North 100 Showdown?!
Maybe the table got put back the wrong way round after Desert Bus.
My demonic consultation card is "Colossal Dreadmaw", just in case one has managed to sneak into my deck
My Demonic Consultation names are You Are Already Dead or Go Hog Wild!
Worth playing Mesa for a shuffle effect in play
Serge is turning heel. Joker era.
This episode gives me anxiety. Tempo gives me anxiety.
my thoracle name is the german coral trickster ( korallenschlawiener) or german pestermite (trietzknilch) both are very funny names in german
My thoracle card is „You‘re already dead“
My D.Con card is usually You're Already Dead
Not going to lie, I'm cheering against thoracle every time
My named card for thoracle is "You are already dead" from Neon Dynasty. Seems fitting lol
Here is your Vorthos Seal of Approval.
Hi. Leaving a comment about what a cutie Wheeler is. Algorithmic encouragement complete. Unpause video.
I Demonic Consultation for Totally Lost.
Oh yeah it's fallen Shinobi time 🎉
Hyped!
hooray for legal deck lists
i consult demons for shahrazad, usually
In that hand, I'd take DemonCon every time.
How about "One With Nothing".
Wheeler is the most adorable.
I like to name "youre already dead" with thoracle
arid mesa shuffles your deck for 1 life at instant speed
i like borborymos enraged for my name a card that doesn't matter card
Shorts??
Consult for borborygmos
I like to name Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar with consult because it's funny saying the longest card name
Then why not name Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental?
Because I didn’t know that card existed. I don’t pay attention to unset cards for the most part
I didn't notice until Serge said something but Wheeler is kinda foine
Whereabouts is the Foundation set review ? You coulis mig in alot of the ub card like fallout
They are doing UBey as separate "bonus" episode. And the FDN episode is on its way, afaik they said it's recorded already.
THRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOWWWWWWDOWN
Really great pre game conversation
Wheeler is such a cutie! 🥰
Whoo!
Hi, you cuties!
wheeler what a cutie
This is finally the moment. Savor it... SECOND!
"Very brief window where Gitaxian Probe was legal in Legacy". It's hard to believe now but Probe was actually Legacy legal for 7 years, and Modern legal for almost 6. People simply just didn't play it.
It's even banned in Pauper
Slay
Paul
Wow, such a cutie
