He's had cancer for the past 7 years and apparently those closer to him knew he was going downhill since the end of July or so. For the rest of the community it seems so sudden though, yeah. He fought it for a long time though. I've lost loved ones to cancer within the week they found out they had it. poo poo loving sucks.

I'm with Framboise on Sheldon's passing. I wasn't a big fan of a lot of what he said about the game, but no one deserves what happened to him. I also don't think his diagnosis was widely known in this thread at least. This is the first I've heard anyone bring it up. Even if I didn't agree with a lot of his takes, he seemed kinder than most people in this hobby, and for that he'll be missed. RIP

Hi thread. My friend runs a bunch of local events and convinced me to go out to one of his EDH gatherings and now I’m back on the dope after a ten year hiatus. I’m steering clear of all other formats except for EDH and drafts. I’m wondering if there are any chill YouTube channels or websites where I can watch EDH games. I never got fully invested into the Internet era of Magic, and especially not what it’s evolved into now, so I wouldn’t know where to look. I’m pretty excited for my Food and Fellowship precon to arrive in the mail. I already have a couple of upgrade routes planned out that I will proxy and test before buying cards to upgrade it with.

man people REALLY get pissy when they realize they were kind of a prick and made the rest of the players have a bad time but don't want to actually process that or change their behavior, huh had a guy bring a really obvious cedh deck to a mid-power pod, turn 1 tivit into turn 2 expropriate. we all said 'eat poo poo' and scooped in response to the five extra turns he was about to get bc why even bother playing at that point, which meant any points he wouldve earned for the three kills was immediately zeroed out by the penalties for killing people too early in the game (as this was a non-competitive event, it was literally loving FMN dude), and he spent the whole time putting away his deck/dice/etc bitching about how we shouldve "just let him play it out" and how we're "anti-fun" even though more than one person looked over and saw who it was/what deck it was and went 'oh yeah no i scoop whenever he tries that poo poo too'. and even went to the store owner and complained about how we were being unsportsmanlike.  yeah dude. we're the ones who are the assholes here when we literally said before the game 'yeah this is about a 6' as the T0 discussion and you went 'yeah, me too  '

I would also recommend MTGMudstah for putting on a game or two and it's him narrating and editing, really calm chill voice paired with chill music. I'll watch a game or two to put me to sleep at times. Commander Mechanic is a pretty good one as far as deck tech and outside the box ideas. ScryBabies is a pretty good smallish channel female led fun gameplay, Quest for the Janklord is fun because it has a storyline narrative around its jank random EDH gameplay. I haven't paid attention to I Hate Your Deck since the Joe controversy snowballed into the even bigger poo poo about the main host and all his uncomfortable scummy poo poo when he was a movie director.

I'll second Shuffle Up And Play, Commander At Home, EDH Hijinks, and Spike Feeders for fun, relatively chill Commander content. SUAP doesn't do Commander every week, but it's pretty frequent. Commander At Home is easily the closest I've seen to a real "friends sitting around the kitchen table playing Commander" show, EDH Hijinks is pretty similar but over the internet instead of everyone at the same table, and Spike Feeders is a split between Competitive EDH decks and casual, but they don't act competitive about it. It's a good introduction to the CEDH sub-format and fun to watch just to see the crazy poo poo that happens and the chess-like maneuvering. And the Spike Feeders crew are pretty fun in general.

Dizz posted:Holy poo poo that's such an abrupt death. RIP Sheldon As a filthy sliver lover, there’s a number of things you can get for the deck to help it along. Kindred Discovery Kindred Dominance Patriarch’s Bidding All of those are solid typal cards to add to a deck like this. If you can get Sliver Hive for any reasonable amount of money, go for it. Same with like, Cavern of Souls (if you already own it, don’t buy it just for this deck IMO). Get some more of the 5C slivers into the deck too. The First Sliver is basically always a bomb, and Legion is just fun. Also get a Homing Sliver in that deck.

No one since has come close to being as drunk/high playing MTG for content since. It's also why I initially DIDN'T mention TableTop Jocks since I hadn't heard anything about Joe still not being a vindictive rear end when playing games. I'm really really hoping MTGMudstah just stays in his safe Bob Ross bubble of narrating EDH games.

And the Spike Feeders crew are pretty fun in general. yeah these are good and mostly what I watch, along with Playing With Power, which is cEDH focused (though they do side stuff) and has pretty high production values and a slightly different approach to content - most gameplay videos are edited and narrated to condense gameplay / summarize table talk rather than focusing on the social dynamics (which come out more in their supplementary videos), while remaining accessible and honestly not particularly competitively focused (they're playing competitive decks and trying to win efficiently over battle-cruiser magic but the focus is still on friendly in-pod play rather than meta considerations/tournaments) it's not necessarily what you'll want to watch every time, but if you want to see good EDH gameplay its a solid pick I think

I heard about the drama with Joe when I was like "Hey he just hasn't been on the show for most of these episodes, what happened?" Lynch seemed so wholesome with how he just seemed to enjoy playing Magic with people and would bring on patrons occasionally. I guess abusive people frequently hide it well  E: I just looked through the OP for something else and noticed IHYD is recommended in the OP. So, uh, yeah. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Sep 10, 2023 |

Play to Win has become my favorite people to watch/listen to as of late. They're not the best at what they do and they misplay every now and then, and I don't agree with their takes all the time either, but it's nice to watch chill dudes play and talk about cEDH without being obnoxious/elitist tryhards about it. They just always seem to be putting having a good time over everything else and that's a vibe I can get behind.

Grevlek posted:All of the content recommends are good but only MTGmuddstah is "chill" I would say that depends on your definition. If you mean "low energy", then maybe. Otherwise, then EDHijinks, Commander at Home, and Spike Feeders are all pretty chill. Shuffle Up And Play is less so since the Professor usually stirs poo poo up for entertainment value, but the other three are definitely solidly in the "chill" category for me.
