Amazing laugh

Ive literally watched this episode 10 times just for that laugh!

I loved seeing Ben Brode! Hearthstone was my gateway game before I got into Magic, so it was great to see him on the other side of my card game hobbies! Great game, great episode.

CGB: I brought something new. Everyone else: Let me guess, the deck that is twice the height of the other deck? LOL #newsleeves

Really happy to see CGB expanding into Commander. He’s a damn wizard with magic, and he makes amazing content. Y’all are all amazing!

I didn't realize how much I missed Ben Brode's laugh from when I used to play hearthstone. Dang I wish that dude was my friend.

[@michealmularz2403]

Lot of people seem to be stoked for Ben to be on the episode. I don’t know him at all and he unfortunately wasn’t able to do much but he seems like a fun guy to play Magic with and overall seems like a good guy. Great episode. Great to see Emma and CGB on the episode too!

I will say his deck did exactly what jhoira(sic?) decks do, suspend big nasty stuff.

@Savannah Lion Emma is good people!

[@michaelbush9112]

you drew 8 cards in your opening hand

[@RazgrizAce67]

This game shows why politics is so important: Emma could have teamed up with Lynch to one hit K.O. the clear threat on the board Covert with her Master of cruelties while Lynch bounces all his blockers. Instead she and Lynch end up playing for second place because they wasted lots of resources on each other.

[@delanee]

Cgb had maze of ith which would have removed the master from combat..

[@HeloKoL]

@@delanee Master is not removed from combat, it would still have put CGB at 1 life. Maze says it prevents combat damage but Master specifically says it is not combat damage. What I am wondering though is why Lynch didn't bounce his Hinata to save it.

[@DA-bn9ny]

​@@HeloKoL Master needs to be unblocked to trigger it's effect. CGB could Maze of Ith it before declare blockers step so it doesn't even get the chance to become unblocked

[@bonhomie2797]

Seeing Ben Brode was such a pleasant surprise that I actually exclaimed "Holy shit, it's Ben Brode!" after his introduction. He was definitely one of the people that made Hearthstone truly special. Good to see him playing cards again!

[@thiesomatix]

I'm here before the premiere but just seeing Ben Brode is giving me hype+Hearthstone Nostalgia, excited to see what he's gonna be playing. Already know this one's gonna be sick!

[@hermesthenerd]

honestly super appreciate the way the group was helping the pop off get to learn their deck and assist with the final turn and wasn't salty about the deck being more powerful than folks anticipated. super good game as always!

I didn't know Lynch could get Quentin Tarantino, Lisa Kudrow, and Seth Rogen to sit down and play Magic together.

Great episode, again !! I'm always amazed how CGB keeps track of everything, even if everyone was glad to help at the end ;-) I was also looking forward for a Piñata deck, I will definitely build one ! & Thanks for the content

[@Halifax9]

This is what Friday’s are all about! A fantastic job as always Lynch!!👏🏼🔥 It’s so awesome that you got CovertGoBlue on the show. I love the chemistry he brings to the table! We should all love playing paper magic with our friends!

I like the follow-up conversation at the end. It's often a missed part of the rule 0 conversation.

[@IHateYourDeck]

It's important to talk about the game afterwards, so you can learn and keep games fun.

Lynch "I am the worst at pronouncing card names" Saffron Olive strokes beard: "Oh, you think bad pronunciation is your ally. But you merely adopted the misspeak; I was born in it, moulded by it.

Ben Brode is a goddamn treasure. I can't decide who has the best laugh in all of gaming, but it's definitely either Brode or Sean Plott (Day9).

Loving this group. Would love to see any of them back.

[@councilofautumn]

In case anyone else is curious about the Master of Cruelties scenario: "Whenever Master of Cruelties attacks a player and isn't blocked, that player's life total becomes 1." MoC's trigger goes on the stack after the declare blockers step. You can respond to it on the battlefield before passing to the declare blockers step. "An ability that triggers when something “attacks and isn't blocked” triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it."

Great video guys! IHYD has revitalized my love for the game. Around the 34:00 minute mark I think disorder to the court should've returned everyone's creatures tapped to the battlefield but otherwise great game and fun casual magic

[@mibbzx1493]

Imagine living a nightmare during an episode of Sharknado at a magic table 🦈

[@joedoe7572]

When Emma swung at Lynch and put down Master of Cruelties, and she chose to redirect his Snap at the shark, she couldn't later choose to change that target again to target Hinata. If she had chosen to target Hinata, Lynch would have chosen to also target Hinata with his flicker spell, protecting it from the snap and making it come back at Emma's end step, like every other non-token

[@joedoe7572]

He also could have told her that he was going to cast his flicker spell once she cast her redirect spell, so she could target Shark Typhoon, which would have helped them both

[@MonkeyGone2Heaven650]

Happy to see some Kamigawa Neon goodies. Have been enjoying my Tatsunari deck a lot.

"I'm allergic to basic lands" - GOLDEN! I'm allergic to CGB, but here he is a very different person and I love it! Although all of those guests are awesome, for the first time since Prof and Malone, I really like all of the guest...also decks are pretty awesome

[@endlessorbaggins8223]

Rule Zero means nothing to me if the players do not have a wide variety of decks powerlevel that they brought. What I see at my tables is the same I see in this show. People present 1-3 decks from which they already have one in mind they'd like to play. Then they go into Rule Zero conversation already biased and kind of randomly choosing what they will play without having a clear idea if the powerlevel is balanced around the table. And how can you have an idea of the "balance of powelevel" only based on interpretation of how each deck owners presents their deck?

[@pedrino321]

ihyd should not have rule 0 on screen imo. it’s meant for those who already understand the basic concepts of the game. will they just once show their commanders before the 10 minute mark, i miss the og episodes…

[@DirtyO]

@@megamarkread from what I understand, the goal is to normalize talking about pronouns so that people stop assuming pronouns. The othering takes place because of the assumptions. If we normalize declaring pronouns it creates a safe space for someone who goes by a different pronoun that the gender normative one to feel comfortable declaring their pronoun
