Calvin Ruinard, Human to Mae and Sadie

What do you mean “I cut Armageddon, Ravages, and Cataclysm from my deck because they ‘don’t do enough??????’”

@jay13x Had to come back over from Bluesky for this! Not picky if I win, but voting is imperative!

@TheDeckDrMtg @Intrepid_Tautog Oh me either. It’s mostly a joke about how much I disliked the way that Kubo made it a plot point that he HAD to give up his powers to beat Aizen and the next arc is him finding out a way to get his powers back.

@CalvinRuinard @Intrepid_Tautog I wouldn't be mad, though.

If you could pick one desparked Planeswalker to get their spark BACK, who would it be & why? 💥

@MyHandsAreBlank If you get all their true names together, you absorb their powers and become the true Kai Budde, lord of all Magic Players.

I mustache you a question

@DrivetheTacos @mookdubsmtg I’m sorry that your experiences have been so overwhelmingly negative. You deserve to be surrounded by a better community.

@CalvinRuinard @mookdubsmtg I’ve never met anyone that didn’t act like that.

If all your videos are about “that one guy” who plays Magic and the punch line always comes down to they smell, are fat, have speech impediments, and or issues with social interactions. It’s not comedy anymore. It’s bullying and lazy punching down.

@mtgdogs I’m not home yet, but here was Sunday:

Why aren’t you posting dogs today

@DrivetheTacos @mookdubsmtg Because allowing the behavior of some to cause me to generalize and influence how I treat the larger group doesn’t seem like a positive way to promote better community.

@CalvinRuinard @mookdubsmtg Gamers are racist, sexist, ableist incels. Why should we be nice to them?

@DrivetheTacos @mookdubsmtg I don’t understand this comment, I would default that most people deserve empathy.

@CalvinRuinard @mookdubsmtg They’re Gamers™️. They don’t really deserve empathy

@HobbesQ … dark rituals in my deck, I said I was playing a “legacy deck.” And so he pulled out an actual legacy deck and proceeded to stomp me into oblivion. So then the same guy taught me how to draft and what standard was, and I went from there.

@HobbesQ I learned how to play from draft commons left behind from an Innistrad draft, and we didn’t know how deathtouch worked, so we thought it killed the player and so typhoid rats was an auto 4-of. When I first played against someone, I bothered to look up formats, and because I had

I love watching high tide players like Feline Longmore do their thing on the 2014-ish SCG tours and I always wanted one.

I could ramble on for a long time, but my wife’s great. Imma go cuddle her cute face.

… And this photo shoot! And gosh, the empathy and patience this woman gives to other people. She’s supported me through some absolute chaos this year, and she also gives her all to support her friends and coworkers.

Tomorrow’s eight years of being married! I really do feel luckier every day. 🧵

@mookdubsmtg And it’s demeaning. There are folks who really are doing their best and TCGs are their escape. And I can’t know why their hygiene is suffering. No matter what the reason, we can encourage good hygiene, but making them the butt of the joke ain’t how to do it.

@CalvinRuinard And I understand wanting to hit a more broad audience. I certainly try to. But if your entire platform is riding on making “that one guy” videos because they always seem to garner ALOT of views? Just irks me to see it.

@TheGameFreak000 @mookdubsmtg I won’t actually judge lol, Kaalia’s RAD. Who doesn’t love throwing a massive demon into play?

@CalvinRuinard @mookdubsmtg As someone with Kaalia built (I've only got Kaalia and Ulasht built, DON'T JUDGE ME), I feel personally attacked.
