7LandHand Extra: Episode 127 – Goodbye Sweet Energy

Every ‘Hello’ offers the opportunity for a ‘Goodbye’ and such is the way with a large part of standard. Mishka, Aaron and David reminisce on all the sets that will rotate out in October, what spaces will be left for new deck ideas, and the highlights/lowlights of playing in the format since Kaladesh dropped. There’s a card quiz, loads of week in geek, a bit of flavour text and we give away a Homelands booster that was kindly donated by Alex Dadd.

7LandHand: Episode 123 – Decrypto

Dust off the old 5 1/4 inch floppy disks and get out your Dymo Gun, it’s time to transmit secret messages in Decrypto. Inform your partner, while the other team listen in…it’s kinda like having Edward Snowden living in your granny flat.
We have a full cast today with Matt, Aaron and David so that means a Matt’s Quiz occurs. Neets and Twooze, and a winner for last month’s copy of Shadespire.
We finish it all off by reading listener entries for last month’s hilarious Ork Tork give-away.

Plus:
Results from the RPTQ at Adelaide Good Games, Listener questions, Busta Boosta, MTG card Quiz, Flavour Text, Hot Garbage, Desmond Bell’s Aaron Graham’s Premonitions…and all the neets and twooze.

7LandHand Extra: Episode 120 – Dominaria Draft Haven

Have you ever wanted to know more about allied and enemy colours? The pod analyses the colour-pairings for Dominaria, highlighting common and uncommon cards that will form the core of any good draft deck. We also reflect on our 24 hours of Gloomhaven, MTG card Quiz, Flavour Text, Premonitions and Hot Garbage. It’s like the whole pod got a +1/+1 counter on it, and swung in for critical.

7LandHand Extra: Episode 116 – Masters of the Universe

After 25 years, most anniversaries are stale, and you’re just hanging in there for the grandkids…but not with Magic. The love is just as strong as that first day we busted a black lotus back in 1993 …and used it as a drink coaster.

All the usual features, plus: We spring the advert on Zoe and make her read it in one take. David wants tickets to see The Tea Party in Perth, but would leave before – main act – Live come on. Aaron wants to meet an Irish lady called Sharon who’s in her 50’s. A quality ‘Blooper’ easter egg finishes it all off.

7LandHand: Episode 115 – Fog of Love

If you ever need to talk to someone about love, you’re always welcome at 7LandHand. In today’s episode, we peel back the white sleeve to reveal, ‘Fog of Love.’ It’s Jacob Jaskov’s Kickstarter sensation somehow married up to a Matt’s quiz, an Aaron’s Top Ten, and plenty of geek news. It’s romantic comedy with a twist, with a twist…

The Fog of Love,
Don’t forget it,
It’s just a silly game, I’m playing here.
And just because,
We don’t match up,
Don’t get it wrong, our destinies are great.
The Fog of Love, oh no…it’s Jaskov.

– 10CC May 1975

7LandHand Extra: Episode 114 – RIX Topix

Bannings, the shape of RIX drafts, RIX effects on standard…what a time to be alive! We also throw in the usual busta-boosta, AMAZING listener questions, quizzes, flavours, neets, premonitions, garbage. It’s all in the jungle, in the jungle, whacka whacka, whacka, knees, knees.
