Haha! I was very hesitant to include the quote, but the more people I talked to about Starvo, the more I heard a community who still fear his existence, despite him being long gone.
This was really good. It did miss the slap on the wrist he took when LSS finally acted though. They took poor Viserai out back and put him down, winked at Prism and gave Starvo a slight tap on the back of the hand while he did his victory lap… I’m still just a bit salty.
Ah you're right! I should have included that. Maybe I can do a short one on Blitz Viserai and tell that story and then include the ban story in CC as a spinoff from how crazy that was in Blitz haha.
As much as I hated him at the time, some of my best fab memories was of Bravo-Prism matches with me playing Prism, 2 hour long games that no one had the heart to call time on because it was a local armory. I like to think many NBA players will have similar memories of Harden and already do. Another great video!
Thanks for the kind words! And I totally agree. It seems almost inevitable to look back and laugh on it, even though some players (at the time) legit thought Starvo spelled the death of balance in FAB. Many NBA fans thought similarly of Harden. "Well, if Harden gets to do this, I don't want to watch basketball anymore." Then, of course, some rules change, Harden aged out of his constant foul-hunting (kinda), and equilibrium was restored.
Thanks my friend! I appreciate the kind words. I spent quite a while on my couch just thinking about Starvo. Who he is and why people didn't like him. When James Harden busted into my brain like the kool-aid man 😂
Well… I had my share of people raging to me that Iyslander is an abusive hero 😂… So I think a lot of people dislike anything that forces discards or slow downs, lol.

omg the caligula quote!!! the artist lingua ignota has an incredible album based around that single quote!!

Nailed again man! Your videos are GOLD! Keep the good work going 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!! Can't stop won't stop!
I absolutely love how you manage to weave a story together so cleanly between those two topics. Excellent storytelling from start to finish. :)
Thank you!! Very kind of you to say 😊
Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for the time and effort you put into them.
I love how you use other media for these videos. I can see a channel like this really drawing in new players.
I try to see the connections between everything! 😂
Great video
Sick video! Love for the star is appreciated, looking forward to living legend format.. with all these new cards, who knows how it will shake up ✌🏻
It's going to be so awesome. I can't wait for the crazy shenanigans of the LL format.

Fantastic video. Love the sports reference. :)
Thanks man! You can expect many more strange, extended analogies in the future 😉
Love the video, I don't know how I hadn't seen it yet :O
Haha! That one has a very low view count! It was pretty early in G-Tome, so no worries! I'm glad you liked it, though!
@@gorganiantome the YT algorithm brought me to it.
It was the main deck when I started playing and I really remember it winning everything 😂😂😂
@@guillem5650 Haha! The good ol' days.
Came for the fab
Stayed for the awesome documentary on James Harden!!! Seriously man, I could listen to you talk about anything

Haha well we'll see. Starvo being read Caligula could be too hot a take

🤣 🤣 🤣 variety is the spice of life no?
Did you seriously just compare Starvo to Caligula?!
No, to James Harden ;) I just used Caligula's quote to set up the concept of hate and fear of a (meta) tyrant 😂
