Vance and special guest Committee Member Ben (AKA Mouse) chat about Ben's history with the format, the awesomeness that was nationals, and then some discussions about a variety of cards and why you might or might not want to consider depointing them.

well, maybe a few less than 191.

A slightly experimental episode with a lot of noise, but it's a series of short interviews with about 10 or 20 people from Australian Highlander Nationals.

Thanks to all the interviewees for participating, it was super appreciated!

Hello out there! In this episode, somehow neither Vance nor Sarv say anything. Some implication that we weren't there is likely reasonable to infer.

Graham and Angus talk about recent decklist data from CanBrawl 2 Decklist Spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... Decklists https://www.moxfield.com/decks/public...

In this episode, a wild Michael appears! It's super effective!

Committee member Michael makes his first appearance on the cast, and we chat about recent events (with actual human people!).

Come here our outrageous hot takes about the format (it's fun), the one ring (it's dumb) and eggs (Eggs are not in any way discussed).

<Exciting Howard Shore themes blast in the background>

Hello any listeners who still exist.

Sarv and Vance raise from the dead to talk about existing just in, you know, general, and then a few interesting cards from the last year or so, and Vance engages in some aggressive speculation about the points list.

So this got recorded live into the internet, which we might try and do again in future. It's myself and Jimbo, it's dominaria united, it's some words and maybe some images if you find the youtube version. Also the sound quality is a bit bad because I did not bother sitting close enough to the mic.

As usual, the facebook group at facebook/highlandercast, or talk to us on twitter @highlandercast, or Vance as @vanciannotions, or Jimbo as @epicecky. The discord is at https://discord.gg/N3z72r2.

Join Sarv, Drew, and Dan as in our No RL Bonus Point brewing session. Take a sneak peek into the AE team's typical brainstorming and brewing process as we work our way through our ideas in light of the new rule which will be effective on 1st July 2022.

Yea, so, apparently we're having an easter special where we bring the podcast back from the dead?

Also mostly accessibility talk.

Does this file contain the intro music? Yes. Does it contain the outro music? I hope so. Has Vance listened to this enough to be sure it isn't 60 minutes of people saying "Haze frog" in various silly voices? Oh my, no.

But! Actual description!

Adelaide Eternal team member Drew Carter hits up collaborator Dan Abraham for insights on choosing cantrips in 7 Point Highlander.   

They also dip into the history and theory of cantrips in Magic:
- What is a cantrip?  
-What is it for?   
- Which cantrips are too weak for 7 Point Highlander?   
- How might non-blue decks achieve what blue decks achieve with cantrips?  
Here are the cantrips and other cards we discuss: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/g51ips...

We touch on Dan's deck at the end.  You can check it out here: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/aws-k5...

Vance is absent from this episode, but will return in the future. (Or maybe the past; there's an old episode recorded but not uploaded that could happen).
