GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

Gerry T has been living in the queues since Modern Horizons 2 dropped, and he’s whipped up the best version of the best deck. The combination of Asmor and Urza’s Saga is this set’s Hogaak, and if you want to win in Modern, you owe it to yourself to learn how Gerry has positioned this deck for success.

Somehow this week has provided the guys with new cards from three different sets to talk about! Historic Anthology 5, Modern Horizons 2, and D&D: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms are all explored with that classic Arena Decklists lens. No matter what format you’re focused on, this monster cast has something for you!

With Wizards of the Coast again taking a hammer to organized play, the guys are left weighing in on yet another cataclysmic change to the Magic landscape. Did they really discuss ending the podcast? Do they have any optimism that this could actually be a good thing? Join the boys as they progress through however many stages of grief there are, and mourn the passing of this latest incarnation of professional Magic.

Get ready for a little bit of everything as Gerry and Bryan talk through a huge day of announcements! They’re not only taking their first look at Modern Horizons 2, but there’s even a few cards from the upcoming Dungeons and Dragons crossover to discuss. All this and the usual “everything else” on this week’s episode!

Strixhaven’s initial appearance on the Standard stage didn’t really blow anyone’s socks off, but beneath a static top of the metagame, Gerry and Bryan see some potential. They’ve bonded over a love for a surprise deck that you won’t see coming, and they’re still holding on to hope that Sacrifice decks are starting to figure things out. If you’re not satisfied with the status quo, let Gerry and Bryan guide you forward!

A little something for everyone in this episode, as Gerry and Bryan check in with the latest Modern league on Magic Online, but also spend plenty of time checking in with Standard, Historic, and telling stories about the good old days like the out of touch geriatrics that they are. Two full hours of Strixhaven goodness, ready to be beamed directly into your earballs! https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/modern-league-2021-04-20 Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi Timestamps: Living End - 23:25 Sultai Midrange - 26:12 Infect - 28:34 Lantern - 30:08 Yorion Enigmatic Incarnation - 32:01 Neoform - 36:52 Esper Control - 41:26 Gruul Valakut - 43:10 Nivmagus Elemental - 47:08 Winota - 51:28 Storm - 52:15 Dredge - 54:48 Jeskai Control - 59:57 Amulet - 1:03:30 Ad Nauseam - 1:04:56 Gruul Prison - 1:26:31 Yorion Fires - 1:09:36 Prowess - 1:15:53 Eternal Command - 1:22:28 Sultai - 1:28:47 U/W Tron - 1:38:40 Yawgmoth Combo - 1:48:17 Grixis Lurrus - 1:54:32 Kiki Chord - 1:58:37 arenadecklists.gg patreon.com/arenadecklists youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/bryango

Gerry and Bryan have spent their first post-Strixhaven day on the ladder, and results are surprising! Is there really a card that might have what it takes to reshape Standard? Meanwhile, Historic is a brand new format, and they think they're onto the best deck there too. Let their labor save your wildcards!
