 Wasn't sure if Post Malone would still interact with Joe after the IHYD split, but I guess that answers that.

At least with Joe it's possible he like... learned a lesson about being an overcompetitive douchebag in friendly games, and as much as that's being a dick it's still relatively tame compared to what the other jackass did. Honestly he really dodged a bullet getting kicked off IHYD when he did, let's hope he turns over a new leaf. If he doesn't, then gently caress him.

Another quick Beamtown Bullies clarification: if I use its ability to give someone Silt Crawler, for example, the "you" in its text of "When Silt Crawler comes into play, tap all lands you control." counts for the player I gave it to, yeah?

I really should make another Zur deck and just use it as Necropotence in the command zone. Fuckin' love Necropotence. I have seen a comedy "Voltron" Zur deck before. It was bad, but it was at least a different take.

I got a bunch of games in this weekend with my Arcades deck and it's pretty solid. Played against Anhelo / Simic / vampire tribal / Atraxa / pillow fort and managed to not come last which is great in my book haha. Made some tweaks and I think it's gonna be super fun for next week: https://archidekt.com/decks/2804408#Arcades_1.3 Basically the win cons are either: 1. Get Arcades out, keep him a live while I play walls to beat people down 2. Get Aluren or Cloudstone Curio out and get serious draw advantage with Arcades 3. Get both out, draw everything you want, and swing for a ton of damage with your entire deck

A lot of just general toxic play behavior, crying when he lost, breaking deals. Basically just being 'that guy'. Though, to my knowledge, he never doxxed critics that gave him bad reviews so it's not like Post can claim a moral high ground.

Downplaying the strength of decks in order to steamroll, pretty much taking it personally if you attacked him or prevented his poo poo from going off. As far as I can tell Joe still does that sort of poo poo, an episode of Elder Dragon Hikinks with Oliva G-H, and AliasV, everyone playing some fun type jank and Joe comes in with some High Powered Casual/possibly CEDH deck. I mean for me in that image it's more telling that Rachel Weeks is there than Post. As far as, on the surface, of who you're willing to associate yourself with.

With all due respect, Rachel Weeks might just not be involved in the nitty gritty of online enough to know that Joe got kicked off IHYD for being a toxic shithead that bullied Patreon subscribers, because it really wasn’t even half as big a deal as Lynch extorting his guests and harassing his abuse victims with fake apologies. I still wouldn’t watch Joe’s channel. Maybe just watch one of the other 50 non-toxic EDH channels out there? Rachel & Alias V have their own channel and a podcast I think, you’ve got options.

coelomate posted:What's the drama/controversy there? Very short version: Joe left IHYD for what seemed to be creative differences, but then it came out that he’s an extremely toxic player who is at minimum lovely to his fans/supporters in Discord. Then it came out later that Lynch from IHYD is gaslighting and abusive. Rachel Weeks even asked to not have her episode of IHYD aired after news about Lynch came out, but I believe he went ahead and aired it anyway. Obviously those are different degrees of lovely, but I don’t think most people ITT would want to support either of them.

My only complaint about TTJ is that Joe needs to learn how to properly mix audio because I couldn't hear poo poo during the first episode, and I haven't watched any since He also may have turned things around, because he hosted wotc's official new Capenna prerelease stream, so maybe he's not as much of a sore player as he used to be? Idk, I'm not defending him but I believe in second chances, and Joe was always charismatic and funny on IHYD, so I'm willing to give him another shot

If you squint real hard, sophina/jim hopper kinda looks like winota, but for clues (and significantly worse). Which friends forever would work best with them? I feel like you want black, since it has cranial plating and a bunch of artifact and artifact sacrifice cards, but wernog/cecily don't add much otherwise (and cecily+wernog seems a better match anyways). Othelm lets you bring back sophina if they die during combat i guess? But green doesn't have much synergy with clues, right?

This is disappointing. I loved IHYD before the split, but Joe was always toxic AF in the discord and especially in games. There was a Patreon bonus episode where he is killed first and he spends a half hour bitching about it to no end. Most importantly I have no love for someone that brought the Prof to tears. I was big into IHYD for a while, making gifs of the episodes and all. The guests and Lynch used them for marketing and I talked to Lynch a lot in discord. Of the two, he was super nice, which was all the more devastating to hear about his gaslighting bullshit. I refuse to watch Joe's show from my personal experiences, and Lynch's show is in shambles from his past choices too. There are plenty of content creators out there to watch instead. I do love Post Malone's table banter, and how he is on a better platform soon.
