shouting from the mountain tops for more nelly! more guests in general, love seeing different playstyles get representation. can we have Alex on for a twenty minute best of 5 with black mold? BEEP BEEP!
Nelly showed me this deck years ago and I loved it because I am on the highest dosage of mono black control copium. I've been cooking up something new myself that I can't wait to show him in exchange
Man it didn’t get there but watching Nelly and his deck just stop Serge from winning for so long when he had it in his hand multiple times was absolutely fascinating. Well played by all, but hot damn Nelson. Hot damn.
I really love LRR's adoption of the term "Advantage Muffin" its a very clean, irreverent, way of talking objectively about games where the "stakes have never been lower".
One extra consideration for Serge's tutoring choice in game 1: Nelly is restrained on black, meaning if he does have removal for the eidolon, he's not advancing his gameplan, and Serge will pull ahead slightly so long as he doesn't rip straight lands.
They talked about missing the Wolfwillow Haven line, all on the same turn as Razorverge Thicket entered untapped as the fourth land. Paper magic is beautiful lol
@@kevinwestermann1001 I agree with you. That, and with Wheeler when he voices his dislike for using dice to represent P/T on things that aren't counters. My Constructs will remain dice-less, thank you.
Sadly at around 57:45 surge taps serra's sanctum for 1 with 0 enchantments for the journey to nowhere. Unfortunate, but these things happen. Sick decks from you both, mono B rocks!
In the 2nd game, Surge should have played the Wolfwillow Haven first so he could draw a card off it and then with the mana excelleration he coul- 24:49
I think wishclaw for opposition agent with the knowledge Serge was loaded with tutors is probably correct IMO. You control the tutor, and potentially get a play from Serges deck. Serge can't do fetch loops anymore, and sort of needs to kill the Agent. Looking through the list, you probably get the one mana protection creature. Which saves your Sheoldred next turn (not that you'd know that info yet) from swords.
The Serge in the thumbnail looks somehow so different from the guy in the videos I could start an unknowing conversation with him about how much I like N100 Showdown.
24:51 I did catch this but I hadn't written that comment, and wouldn't because I'm not that person. I am writing this one though, because I am this person. Algorithm, innit.
After the reset in the third game it became clear pretty quickly that the enchantress deck has a certain level of inevitability that you just can't beat.
I love the name "Mono Black Storm" because it implies that there's a wide array of wincon cards for the deck to storm with and it's not literally just Tendrils
Crucible+Fastbond+Courser = unlimited land plays from the graveyard for 0 life. Tap plains for W, Stripmine my own plains, replay them both, repeat = infinite W.
No points red is a reasonable deck and not super expensive. Also, just proxy the deck with pen and paper. Canlander players want to play games more than anything else. No one will care if your cards are real and cost thousands of dollars or if they are a piece of scrap paper with mox Ruby written on it shoved in a sleeve with a basic land
Huh, they actually errata'd Enchantress's Presence to say cast, not play. Otherwise you'd be able to draw a card off of Urza's Saga, since it's the only enchantment you play but not cast.
Nelson: Four swamps.
Serge: An array of lands beyond human comprehension
you folks finally cracked the code on how to not risk Wheeler winning every episode of North 100 showdown.
I do always appreciate Serge talking through the different lines of play.

VROOM ZOOM!
Every Wednesday with a N. 100 Showdown is guaranteed to be great!
Fuck Wednesday! But yea today is p great with the boys
"Is he going to cast Tendrils of Agony or Grave Titan" is such an incredibly cool question for a deck to pose
Two of the nicest guys playing a friendly game of magic, so good.
Nelly showed me this deck years ago and I loved it because I am on the highest dosage of mono black control copium. I've been cooking up something new myself that I can't wait to show him in exchange

I love how Nelly has become the "Magic dad" in this group 😂 he's the perfect person to be in that role
I always let north100 Wednesdays sneak up on me and man oh man I get so excited when I see a new showdown pop up on my homepage!
Once again with the best content on TH-cam 🎉 thanks for making this, it's great to be here
I really love LRR's adoption of the term "Advantage Muffin" its a very clean, irreverent, way of talking objectively about games where the "stakes have never been lower".
Nelly running Sedgemoor Witch? I'm in love 😄I like to go for mini-storm on Arena with her, Professor Onyx and Plumb the Forbidden!
Or Chain of Smog for infinite pests. :P
Really enjoy this matchup, decks felt really evenly matched in both Gameplan and power level. Shout out to both pilots for a good game.
Great to see Nelly on Showdown! Good showing from both of you!
Excellent, as always. Thank you.
I love this series, thank you for making it
Great match guys, loved the deck Nelly
24:55 lampshading the sequencing while missing the razorverge thicket should have entered tapped is 😙👌
Serge only has 3 lands there. The 4th is an enchantment on the land
@@Paranundrox goddamn enchantress. Had missed that and the dang aura has a tree so it just looked like a forest.
That night overlay was so cool!!
One extra consideration for Serge's tutoring choice in game 1: Nelly is restrained on black, meaning if he does have removal for the eidolon, he's not advancing his gameplan, and Serge will pull ahead slightly so long as he doesn't rip straight lands.
I thought the same thing.
did he miss a draw trigger from enchantress's presence?
thank you for uploading, it's great to watch you
Would love to see Alex's Black Mold golgari deck make an appearance!
Thanks for the match. It was great to be here :)
I'm interested to see where Nellys deck is going to go.
Also a great video, as always!
love to see nelly again!
Game 3 has some really good back and forth.
Conflating is such a good word.
Is Balin's tomb any good in Canadian Highlander?
They talked about missing the Wolfwillow Haven line, all on the same turn as Razorverge Thicket entered untapped as the fourth land. Paper magic is beautiful lol
As someone else pointed out, Serge only controlled three lands and an aura at that time so it entered untapped correctly.
@@SilverBordered Yeah, it's why I try to NOT tap auras and equipment attached to permanents.
@@kevinwestermann1001 I agree with you. That, and with Wheeler when he voices his dislike for using dice to represent P/T on things that aren't counters. My Constructs will remain dice-less, thank you.
Nelly grappled there game 3 pretty well. Great have him on Showdown. He's my favorite...don't tell Serge and Wheeler.
My shitty Wednesday... Just became awesome! Thank you LRR❤❤
Is ancient tomb any good in highlander?
Is Ancient Tomb any good in Canadian Highlander?
I assume Ancient Tomb is good in any format its played in
Sadly at around 57:45 surge taps serra's sanctum for 1 with 0 enchantments for the journey to nowhere. Unfortunate, but these things happen.
Sick decks from you both, mono B rocks!
He has a wild growth on a forest from turn 1.
Oops! Apologies, that art is super similar to the forest, I assumed it was another basic land. My bad

Yeah I’ll admit going over this game again myself this line seems legit. Oh well. Next time
@@nelsonsalahub Honestly, still a great game and great play overall. I always enjoy the decks you bring on camera, and this one was no exception.
omg its nelly! yippie!
Yay, Nelly!
I love Serge, Nelly, and Wheeler equally. I did miss the full Wheeler intro though.
"Is Ancient Tomb good in Canadian Highlander?"
this is great again. I think for game 1 the right tutor target was courser of kruphix.
The Serge in the thumbnail looks somehow so different from the guy in the videos I could start an unknowing conversation with him about how much I like N100 Showdown.
Game 3 was the titest! Good Highlander goodness this week!
Nelly's swamp collection is amazing
Question about the Enchantments deck: With Sanctum Weaver in the deck, would Gauntlets of Light be a consideration? It's an Infinite Mana combo.
when nelson said "uh oh thinky" i fucking lost it 20:37
1:03:53 that top draw though...
I love the Showdown Throwdown
Game 2, how is Serge able to play infinite lands? I see the ramanup excavator, but how does he have infinite land drops? 37:34
Serge can activate strip mine targeting one of his tapped lands, then replay them both untapped with Fastbond.
@@AnarchistTheSecond ah, reading the fastbond explains the fastbond... my bad. Thank you!

Does anyone else get tilted why people tap their land enchantments when making mana with said land? IT DOESNT TAP
Ah yes, another installment of Nelson 100 Showdown, engagement.
I'm always wondering when I watch these...what brand of dice does LRR use? They look like a good size, in solid colours with nice big numbers.
Now that's a thumbnail!
I love Nellie's mismatch lands he's just like me :)
1:07:10 to be fair boseiju has a looooot of words
I had to check the deck list but I was saddened that Nelly wasn’t running Tourach, he’d have a been a great tutor target on multiple occasions
Thoughtful comment
Nelly's deck is soooooo god damn cooll, yes cool with two Ls, thats how cool it is🎉
I love the name "Mono Black Storm" because it implies that there's a wide array of wincon cards for the deck to storm with and it's not literally just Tendrils
Hey! There is also the storm off, whiff, cast grave titan line.
Great game of Magic, really cool decks. Enchantress is just full of junk and I love it.
I think i missed a step in game two. How did Serge make infinite mana?
Crucible+Fastbond+Courser = unlimited land plays from the graveyard for 0 life. Tap plains for W, Stripmine my own plains, replay them both, repeat = infinite W.
Yet another reason to envy the Canadians.
The thumbnail does NOT look like serge at all
Was just thinking about that.. maybe a new guest that we haven’t seen yet?
Shadow realm serge
Evil Serge be like: ahahaha tea
Ah. Ancient Egyptian Scourge, Snerge
I love Serge, but I think Serge asking for removal spells in hand should be on the bingo list 😂
I know they were talking about Oppo Agent, but Shadow of Doubt.
#ShadowOfDoubt
The wording change on Enchantress's Presence prevents a card draw from Urza's Saga. Big sadge
Fun decks
You know i never think to use destiny spinner to make lands creatures.
Nelly knows the darkness that lurks in the hearts of men?!
I’ve never seen Shigeki attack 😂
Couldn't ever afford to make a decent canlander deck, so i use Sege and Nelly as my spirit animals.

Is this the first time anyone has tapped a Strip Mine for mana in a North 100 Showdown episode?
Heck yeah mono black
Lol serrrrrrrge Boseiju can go to the dome duhhhh
something something wolfwillow haven
Pleasing the Algorithm
Hype
why would i watch the people who get beat up by wheeler when i could just watch wheeler?
ahh a good day to have eyes

He didnt say the thing 😔
MONOBLACK HYYYPPEEE
Howdy
Damn > damnation
Not if you want to be able to actually cast it as a wrath in mono-black lmao.
@@tannermattingly4462 oh whoops I misremembered which mode was which you right. Damn > Wrath of God
Serge gaining two life for his sethis
Tsk tsk
Surge is so extra
The one time I thought we'd be free of the wheeler intro "joke"...
