Get These Dang Earthbenders Off My Lawn! - HBVC Radio Ep 54 ft Fredo
Sometimes, a mage has gotta get down and dirty, touch grass, feel the earth...just as long as it isn't on my front yard! GIT!(Remember to leave a comment, it brings the hosts joy!)Cole and Empress Quinn are joined by Fredo (@virtue.bsky.social on Bluesky), game developer for trading card games by day and New Perspectives Grant extraordinaire by night. He takes the hosts around the block, talking about Latin American Content Creation and Magic, how content creation lead him to his current job, how he loves all things Fallout, Jeskai and Equipment, and how you should play White as a primary color, rather than secondary.

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.
