EP. 43 - Special Guest Slot: Aunt Voltie (Let's Talk 8PT!)
Oracle Text:
Back-to-back committee members! Today we brought back Aunt Voltie--committee member, content creator, and competitive player--to chat about her work in the 8-Point space of Australian Highlander.
The 8-Point rule, sometimes referred to as the "Accessibility Rule", rewards players that don't play Reserve List cards with an extra point in their otherwise 7-Point restricted decks. Voltie has built dozens of 8-Point decks, has played them at locals and large tournaments alike, and is a pioneer within the 8-Point/budget space to create an accessible entry point for new Highlander players.
So join us today as we talk about how Voltie started building 8-Point lists, what makes the 8-Point rule important in Highlander, which decks function better on 8 points than on 7, and how you can get in touch with her for deckbuilding advice and tutoring!
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 public decklists can be found here on Moxfield.

| This episode of Raise the Standard was recorded at Hen House Rehearsal Studios. Raise the Standard and its hosts would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we operate on. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung peoples as the Traditional Owners of the land. We pay our respects to their elders past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
