Episode Synopsis

Oracle Text:Our third guest on the show is a woman who needs little introduction--but we will give her one anyway! She is a member of the Australian 7-Point Highlander Points Committee, a veteran Magic player of incredible skill, a Top 4 player at Pat's most recent CanBrawl tournament, and a pioneer of the 8-Point Archetype: today's special guest slot is taken by none other than Aunt Voltie!In the wake of an incredible Top 4 placement at CanBrawl, Kira sat down with Voltie to discuss the event, her content challenge deck, and the advice around netdecking in Highlander. The challenge: build a Highlander deck on a $150USD budget in a format where reserve list cards are a mainstay and more than one person in the room owns a Black Lotus.As we here at Raise the Standard turn our focus towards competitive 60-card formats, this is our unofficial official start of Hardly Highlander, another podcast-within-a-podcast where we talk about, you guessed it, 7-Point Australian Highlander. We, of course, had to start of strong with one of the best players in the format and we will be sharing a second episode with Voltie focused around the 8-Point rule and her work in pioneering 8-Point decks in the coming weeks!A huge thank you to Aunt Voltie for sharing her knowledge and experience with us! You can find her online at @AuntVoltie, and you can subscribe to her Patreon for exclusive sideboard guides, articles, and deckbuilding advice. Her CanBrawl decklist can be found here on Moxfield.| Music from HitsLab via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.| This episode of Raise the Standard was recorded at Hen House Rehearsal Studios.
