GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

Get the inside scoop on #MythicChampionshipIV from Gerry's point of view, his thoughts on Hogaak, how to beat it, and what decks could be great choices going forward.

Gerry and Bryan go DEEP on one of the fan favorites of Modern -- Jund! They discuss why it's suddenly viable again, how Gerry ended up picking it as his deck of choice, and what each of the most popular matchups look like. For fans of Jund (or Modern in general), this episode is for you.

Last week, Gerry and Bryan made some predictions for #SCGWOR, which were both a hit and a miss. Now they have some idea of where Standard is headed. It's also time for Gerry to start his prep for MCIV, and he is not happy.

Gerry and Bryan have been immersing themselves in Standard and have their picks for the top choices going into this weekend. Temur Elementals, Nexus, and Esper are safe choices, but what do they think is going to be holding the trophy at the end of the tournament?

Gerry and Bryan finally get their hands on #MTGM20! After two days of seeing the cards in action and playing with them themselves, they discuss which cards have been incredible, which have been misses, and how these new decks should be built.

The shortest preview season of all time means there's only one episode on #MTGM20, and this episode has it all. Gerry and Bryan discuss how M20 differs from traditional Standard set design, the best reprints in the set, their honorable mentions, and their Top 10s. With two large Modern events this weekend, they also feel the need to briefly touch on Hogaak and exactly how much you should be respecting it.
