Description

Welcome to Hero's Blade Vibe Check, where we talk about Commander/Elder Dragon Highlander & Magic. We chat about recent & future events, games & deck brews, new cards, articles & gameplay videos, & if your Commander passes the Vibe Check! (also, pop culture media that we've been dabbling in).

We're Cole (he/him, @TheBloodricGuy on Bluesky, editor) & Empress Quinn (fae/faer, @girldickenergy on Bluesky, composer), joining forces to chat about things we love & adore in Magic the Gathering. Let's hang out & enjoy the vibes.

We've scaled the highest peaks, forsaken every bodily desires, to finally be able to reach Valhalla...but then the siren call of Cube calls for us all.Cole and Quinn are back in the booth, to talk about playing Mardu in Cube and on Arena. Cole talks about cooking, Quinn talks about getting set up for Final Fantasy XV, Quinn gives us Project 140 (Master 2), and the two wrap up with a deep dive on Cole's Johnny Mardu Cube. In the Smoking Mids Dimension, Cole and Lenny wait out the Fallout by talking about mid cards from the Fallout Commander set.

Wait, Nicol Bolas's Bolas looks like WHAT?!Cole and Quinn are joined by the robot in our walls, Henn! He's a sci-fi writer with some opinions on Magic. Like, you should read Magic Story! And stop making 5 color slop. This is a take Cole can get behind. But first, Cole's gotta get through playing Ocarina of Time 3d. Quinn's reading through Gideon the Ninth. Cole brings up a few legends from Mystery Booster Commander Edition. Henn gets a few of The Hobbit Dwarves mixed up. Quinn's discovering cards with Caparocti Sunborn in Bracket 3 Hell over on MTGO. Finally, Lenny has some MAHVEL story time moments with Cole and Quinn in the Smoking Mids Dimension.Since he had to cut and run too soon, you can check out Henn over on Bluesky, his website and The Vorthos Cast where podcasts are sold.Socials:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thebloodricguy.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@girldickenergy.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ajanisgaypridemate.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@hbvc-mtg.bsky.social on Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

What do you mean Final Fantasy, the set, was only released in June 2025? What do you mean Final Fantasy 7 was out in September 1997?!Cole and Quinn are back with another robust Media Book Club section, followed by some new and "old" vibe checks. Then, a fresh DJ Spacegirl track, made with new found tech. Lenny's got a special guest in the Smoking Mids Dimension, chatting about Battle for Baldur's Gate. Cole brings back Ashling to find reasons to talk about Final Fantasy Cards, and Quinn talks about more Bracket 2 and 3 games and brews on MTGO.
