For clarification, yes Grist can be your commander. Whenever it is not on the battlefield, it’s considered a creature. As a result, while it’s in the command zone, it is considered a creature and is therefore legal.
@@NStripleseventhat’s actually always been the case. That’s why Transguild Courier can’t go in your deck unless it’s a 5 color deck, among other things. It was just clarified in the rules.
@34:20 Summoner's pact could get Disciple of Freyalise, sacrificing the Ezuri and because he can self-pump, Ben could draw most/all of his deck. Play enough creatures now that he could follow it up with an enormous hasty Craterhoof and win. Could easily have been missed, but I'm wondering if there's an issue with going for that line?
@@kobylong605 Snuff Out wouldn't have been able to stop that line. Wheeler had two elves: Ezuri and Fauna Shaman. Ezuri pumps them both and this could have been done in response to the Snuff Out. Assuming Disciple of Freyalise was in the deck, using it to draw basically the whole deck would have worked. The only real problem with the line is that Ezuri pumps in increments of 3, meaning drawing the whole deck is not guaranteed to be possible. Still, there are probably a couple things like Elvish Visionary that would draw the last card or two in case Hoof is literally the last card in the deck.
Serge and surveil... he considered for surveil 2 (it is surveil 1) but later in game 3 he finds a surveil land and doesn't surveil, so I guess they cancel out 😅
This is Canada and it's December, but these gentlemen are wearing short pants. Very curious... 🤔 It's a good day - Serge was on Commander at Home and now there's North 100.
In game 3, Serge did still have a chance to stop Hazel's Brewmaster from coming down that turn even after the tutor, which Wheeler was trying to bring up. If Serge uses Cut Down on the Devoted Druid in response to Wheeler attempting to untap it the first time, Wheeler can only generate 3 mana and will have to wait a turn, allowing Deathrite Shaman to exile the Devoted Druid on Serge's turn. This does lose to Wheeler having a land in hand, which they do mention a bit in the discussion after that game, but I think Serge needs to try anyway there. He already knows his hand can't kill Hazel's Brewmaster.
Serge forgot to surveil in the 3rd game off his fetched land!? PS: not killing the fauna shaman... that elf deck is a critter combo deck! kill the tutor.
I want whatever Consider Serge is playing

That much is intuitive but they actually had to make a special rule for Grist so that she also counts as a creature during deck construction
@@AriArchangelSomething like “characteristic-defining abilities are checked during deck construction,” I assume?
@@NStripleseven Well, deck contruction isn't the battlefield you see
And if you exile it with Agatha's Soul Cauldron, that's when the magic happens.

I love how, with Serge math, with 4 ninjas you have a tribal deck, but 20 black cards is just a splash
“Force of Will your Cradle” needs to be a future Card Kingdom one inch button. 😂
Consider AND Opt both look at 2 cards!? God, I wish I lived in Serge’s world
Bottoming/milling one and then drawing a card is looking at 2 cards
@@kahlt_ Serge looked at 2 cards for consider, kept both on top THEN drew. So surveiled 2 the drew rather than surveil 1 then draw.
Thoughtordain just dropped. Preorscour?
I like how Serge thought both Opt and Consider were look at 2 cards instead of 1. They’re both good cantrips, but they aren’t that good.
Serge's Consider was so funny xD
I'm glad these throwdowns exist. Throwdown.
14:50 Consider isn't quite that good. It's only Surveil 1.
It's ok, he missed a surveil trigger from the Sewers in the next game to make up for it
I really appreciate all of the explanations and thought process.
Maybe the real Initiative was the friends we made along the way
Ohh boi am I excited for some Canadians playing Highlander.
Perfect timing with my lunch break. Thank you posting it, happy to watch
Excellent, as always. Thank you!

It may have just been missed but also when serge learns the target of pact he could snuff out ezuri in response. Theoretically.

Serge not ultimating Tamiyo immediately is funny
I saw that and it's still killing me lol
14:50 that's not what consider does
Serge may have been drunk this episode

I love a North 100 Bo5. Its like a North 500.
Would love to see more top tier archetypes like martyr proc
The result of the entire match hanging on a single topdeck. Amazing 😎
This is Canada and it's December, but these gentlemen are wearing short pants. Very curious... 🤔
It's a good day - Serge was on Commander at Home and now there's North 100.
Oh we're so back. I have a genuine addiction to this show and these 2 peoples.
Perfect timing as always
I love the show! I'm so excited for the new episodes of Friday Nights.
Aw yeah! Tongue Punch time! I'm actually coming around and learning to love the frog.
I play a UB tempo/reanimator list, but I mostly win with tempo creatures, since the reanimator package has to be respected. It's really fun to play:)
So basically the current best deck in legacy, but highlander
I like the initiative when i posses it and i do not like it when my opponent has it 🤓
I think Serge is just very excited to be playing these cards, which is why he's slipping up a bit when remembering what they all do

i swear serge did some shots before this shoot, consider and opt looking at 2 cards is crazy
hell yeah two decks I'm building, I love when this happens
Great job guys
Im so early the video has no views. We love this
A fresh episode
37:08 "another instance where I wanted walking ballista" summoner's pact can't get walking ballista right?
That might have been the point wheeler was making
Not drawing 50 of tamyio? Wow that is an interesting play
cradlehoof bee-moth, coming to your LGS 2025.
Ah yes, my favorite show of a format I don't play
14:53
consider is only surveil 1 NOT 2
Despite getting dumpstered I think Serge played game one perfectly
12:45 Cradlehoof Gaeahemoth.
Long time watcher and first time commenter, Symbiote is pronounced sim-bee-owt not sim-bee-ot
Great games
I constantly wonder how hey have such good opening hands, then realize "Oh, it's because they don't play crap cards"...
Why are they both wearing shorts in December in Canada lol
Forget the initiative, where is the Time/Key content we all crave?
throwdown? throwdown!
Throdown, throwdown. Throwdown; throwdown...
wanting to get into canadian highlander and i enjoy combo with experience of vintage legacy mondern cedh and pauper. what would people recomend?
Time Vault, Jeskai Breach, or Esper Reanimator
@zakmarcus6222 thank you, is there a site that has deck lists?
Have you ever cast a Birchlore Rangers facedown and then later flipped it face up? Anyone?
throwdown!
30% is not a splash, sorry Serge
Build a Canlander version of mud :D
Where is the initiative?
Wheeler saying the CAG does nothing aged well lmao
throwdown.
Why won’t anyone show Initiative anymore? It’s a societal problem
…………….throwdown.
Serge forgot to surveil in the 3rd game off his fetched land!?
PS: not killing the fauna shaman... that elf deck is a critter combo deck! kill the tutor.
No initiative? Is this even Canlander?
WHERE IS THE INITIATIVE?? Under the sauce.
Splash? More like cannon ball.
Me me Willer
Insert comment here complaining about the initiative (I’ve played canlander like once)
*Golgari elfs
music at the end in super annoying man, please just let them talk, they are who i want to hear
Where is horsemanship?
Serge pronouncing the "L" in Sheoldred is just 🤌😚 😩
Where is the initiative?
