GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

In this bonus episode, The GAM Podcast welcomes @AutumnLilyMTG to the show! We discuss their meteoric rise to Magic stardom, the mindset that drove their success, and... why they like land destruction?!? If you only listen to one podcast this year, it should be this one.

War of the Spark Previews! With almost 100 cards previewed so far, Gerry and Bryan have a ton of ground to cover. What do Gerry and Bryan think of the new Planeswalkers, easily the most difficult cards to evaluate. Is Dreadhorde Invasion the new Bitterblossom?

With Gerry focused on last-minute prep for the Mythic Invitational, Bryan is at the helm and is using the opportunity to do a deep dive on one of his favorite Modern decks: Amulet Titan! Bryan is joined by Amulet master Edgar Magalhaes, and the two leave no (mana) stone unturned in a mammoth exploration of what might be the most misunderstood deck of all time.

Last weekend saw several large events (mostly) be dominated by Izzet Phoenix. Surprisingly, there was a different dominant deck at the Hunter Burton Memorial Open and a different take on Arclight Phoenix. There's also the Mythic Invitational in a week, so Gerry and Bryan discuss Duo Standard, best-of-one as a whole, and what sort of innovation there's been since players have been trying to break the format of the million dollar tournament.

In the 121st episode of The GAM Podcast, there’s much to talk about. The Modern community was up in arms about the lack of changes to Modern, but why? Plus, Gerry has been busy testing Duo Standard for the Mythic Invitational. Is this format for real?

Bryan and Jonathan are back for the twenty-first episode of Head GAMs! Finally, the hosts are tackling their all-time most requested show topic—tilt! Why did Bryan and Jonathan resist discussing this topic for so long? Do the hosts have their own tilt-monsters lurking in their closet? Why does Bryan think tilting is fundamentally incompatible with the way he chooses to live his life? If you have been dying for a way to get your tilt under control, this is the episode for you!

We’ve gotten the first glimpse of what’s in store for us at the end of June with Modern Horizons, so Gerry and Bryan are eager to talk about it. Plus, the Modern metagame has some linear decks at the top, which makes it difficult to pick the correct deck. How should you approach it?

While the first Mythic Championship didn’t go Gerry’s way, he learned a lot and is ready to impart his knowledge. There’s also MF LA and RPTQs for Modern plus SCG Syracuse for Legacy this weekend, which Gerry and Bryan also cover. Congrats again to @AutumnLilyMTG for a dominating performance in Cleveland!
