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 Extra: Episode 122 – DomDomDomDom

Dom Dom Dom Dom…it’s the funeral march for Dominaria. Let’s make the most of it while we can. But with M19 on the horizon, MTG is looking good. Tune in for the best cards, we’ve played, Aaron’s pet favourites, and a bunch of cards that we played more than once…but should never have played at all.

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 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.

A lucky listener wins TWO Ixalan boosters. A seven-year-old girl drops by to describe magic cards, and Zoe and Aaron give you their picks for Ixalan hot garbage.

Straight outta Vraska’s Contempt and into your ears, it’s Ixalan Fo’ Real. How has Ixalan twisted standard into a thorny cutlass? We answer your questions on such matters before looking at the main decks in standard. There’s the quiz stuff, the busta stuff, the hot garbage stuff, and everything GGMC as we reveal the state and US champions for the Good Games Magic Championships.

7LandHand Extra: Episode 102 – Nine Alan Spoilers

Here’s a podcast to give all other podcasts +1/+1, it’s the pre-pre-release Ixalan spoiler show! It sounds like poetry read by a warrior named, Huatli. We do listener questions and give-away our last ‘Hour of Devastation’ booster. Aaron and Kai lock Ceratop horns in MTG Card Quiz and Flavour Text. As with all good Magic the Gathering shows, we have 40 seconds of 40K with 40 Kai. Big news in Neets and Twooze…and Hot garbage and Premonitions are a bust, for different reasons.
