The Mythic Rare Podcast: An Aetherhub Power Panel Previews Mythic Championship VII

In a few short hours, the eyes of the world turn to Long Beach California as Mythic Championship VII kicks off at 9am PST. The excitement for this tournament is palpable in the Magic community, as unlike the last several Mythic Championships the field is incredibly diverse, with the highest played deck only representing 18% of the meta game.

For this week on the Mythic Rare Podcast, I was lucky enough to be joined by two experts within the Aetherhub community to form what I am calling an Aetherhub Power Panel. TheNerdySteve has been steamrolling the competition on the Aetherhub community tournaments recently, with an 80% game win percentage, 2 first place finishes and a top 4 finish in the last several weeks. He has been famous for using Golgari strategies in the tourneys, and since those are popular in the Mythic Championship as well this was some invaluable insight!

Also joining me was Steve from MTG_Arena_Meta. You will probably recognize Steve as the host of the Aetherhub Community Tournaments, which are fantastic free tournaments every Saturday with 10k gems on the line for first place! In addition to hosting these, Steve also plays in all of them as well as streams consistently, and knows his stuff when it comes to Magic! Unfortunately we had a small technical issue that I didn't notice till after recording where Steve's webcam didn't feed into the skype recording, however Steve also streamed the entire podcast, so you can also check that out to watch from his perspective! 

Here are links to both our guests streams which I would strongly reccomend you check out!

If you are interested in the Mythic Championship, this is definetly the preview show for you since we pretty much cover anything! We discuss some of the more niche deck selections, some of the more popular ones, and also give predictions! To see who we have winning it all you will have to tune in to check it out!

Lastly, we have to give a HUGE shout out to Alexander Steyer (Sorquixe) who is representing Team Aether in the MC today!!

Sorquixe made the MC through the Mythic Championship Qualifier Weekend, and has registered a version of Fires of Invention running the Fae of Wishes package. We are definetly all rooting for Sorquixe today, but regardless of the outcome making the MC is a tremendous accomplishment!
