Death & Taxes vs Workshop Weenie || North 100 Showdown 

I am in love with this comment

Good luck

fellow utah resident here, the snow was deeply unexpected!

Good luck mate! :)

Shout out to the 5 other fans of LRR from Utah

Would be nice, but honestly, it's a really straight forward list, play good bodies with either taxing effects (thalia, arbiter, phyrexian revoker) or removal (brutal cathar, palace jailer), when the opponent has nothing left, you have a huge board to swing in

I Want it for workshop weenies or battle bots

I would super like it for eggs

I believe the plan is to get Nelly on, but they filmed a LOT of Showdown earlier in the year. We're watching episodes that have been filmed for a while now, getting doled out along the way. I suspect the Nelly episodes are in the hopper down the line a little.

@@artemi7 hell yeah. Thanks, appreciate it

Wheeler would've gone to 4, but otherwise yes.

I see engagement, I propose a holy matrimony here ever after...

That’s something i love about watching canlander, i always learn more about interactions.

I mean serge forgot about the text completely

@@DimT670 In his defense Brutal Cathar came out during the pandemic when Canlander play was all but stopped. He probably hasn't played against it more than a couple times, and it likely has never flipped on him.

Also the Ward -3 life means if Serge ever wanted to kill it with the ballista in night night time he would have to take 9 making the clock even tighter.

Serge is not good at magic.

@@owenyates6046 your'e not good at magic

@@charleslaleff7708 Nice come back bud.

Control is pretty bad in this format. Aggro and combo need opposing answer cards and there's no sideboard. It needs 10 Abrades

I’ve got some control lists planned for upcoming episodes. Didn’t want to come out the gates with tier 1 strats

@@bwheelermtg awesome, can't wait to see it!

You could say it was…Brutal

Or if he'd remembered that his Enthusiastic Mechanaut made his Etched Champion cost 1 less.

Double golem as in get one golem that turn and a second the next turn before saga goes away

The problem is with the cards that care about the time switching from Day/Night and vice versa. Brutal Cathar punishes your opponent for playing things (Exiles a creature) and for not playing things (the controller gets farther ahead). As the controller of the cathar you don’t need to change how you play because you will just continue to get value. Limiting your opponent to one spell a turn is bonus value for DnT since they want to break the one spell a turn symmetry. Overall it’s a creature that “dies to removal” but unchecked will get a ton of value.

​@@Ygo1ohcysP Again, you have influence on when it flips. Yes casting multiple spells or casting no spells are things you might want to do but are punished for, but there's plenty of situations where the reverse is true. Again, this matchup was particularly good for the Cathar because Serge was light on removal and was heavy on mana-hungry equipment that made him go multiple turns without casting spells. And this doesn't limit your opponent to one spell a turn. it only punishes casting multiple spells when it's night, not day. And unlike most other cards that generate value if unanswered, Banisher Priest value can all be for nothing once answered.

@@Mordalon I completely agree that this matchup emphasized the power of brutal cathar. Yes, it only “limits” you to one spell a turn if it’s night. Normal werewolf cards that have the weaker human side and the more powerful nonhuman side are fine because day/night becomes symmetrical. For cards that care about the time switching (i.e. brutal cathar, the celestus, and Vadrik, Astral archmage) there is no downside to playing normally. The controller might play differently to get extra value but there is no requirement. Correct there is no long lasting ETB value. But brutal cathar is pretty good at most stages of the game in most matchups. The problem with the day/night mechanic in general (besides how clunky it is) is how punishing turning night back to day can be. That was the main problem in the limited format was how if the non-werewolf player stumbled at all the game was pretty over. You brought up some great points and I think we would agree that Brutal Cathar is not overpowered but is a great card that brings interesting play patterns

I haven’t finished yet but so far they haven’t been giving the equipped creature +1/+1. I will remove this comment if they mess it up

They sure didn't.

If it's wheeler yes he's known as casual flex wheeler for a reason.
