GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

It’s been an interesting week in Magic: the Gathering. This episode talks about everything you’ve been wanting to know, and some things you most definitely did not want to hear about. Descriptions won’t do this justice, so just take a listen.

The unthinkable has happened. The powers-that-be in Magic: the Gathering have given Gerry and Bryan complete autonomy, and are allowing them to alter every B+R list in Magic (obv not really). What is in store for your favorite format? Standard, Modern, Legacy... even Commander are all going under the microscope in this unique look at format health!

Let's be frank. The Arena Decklists boys don't think it makes any sense to give the Alchemy format your money right now. But, if you have already spent the wildcards or just hate value, the cast refuses to hang you out to dry. Using the patented Gerry T Bucket System, they give you the tools you need to think about the format critically and take home the cash this weekend. Also featuring the now-requisite amount of nonsense and outrage! Enjoy!
