Goblin Chainwhirler is unplayable! Nah, just kidding, but it does seem to be just another great card in a sea of great cards. Is the reign of Goblin Chainwhirler finally over? Has Steel Leaf Champion taken the throne? How do Nicol Bolas, Sai, and the rest of Core Set 2019’s all-stars fit into the mix? Is Paradoxical Outcome the real deal? Gerry and Bryan cover all this, plus the Core Set 2019 card that’s poised to have the biggest impact in Modern!

Core Set 2019 is officially out on Magic Online and the brewers have been doing work! Gerry and Bryan take a deep dive into the first 17 decklists to go 5-0 on Magic Online and pick out their favorites for the upcoming weeks. Who was the big winner from Core Set 2019? Is Stitcher's Supplier as great as Gerry predicted? Is Nicol Bolas running amok? Where do you want to be going forward? The GAM Podcast answers all these questions and more.

There’s more than one way to prepare for a tournament. Most of the time, you’ll narrow down your deck choice from among the best options, but what if you started in reverse? Gerry and Bryan break down the recent Modern events, talk about where the format is heading, and talk about things that absolutely won’t work in Modern going forward. None of your favorite decks are safe!

With Core Set 2019 fully previewed, it's time to fully break down the set and talk about what looks good for Standard. Yes, there are Goblin Chainwhirler issues, but with the Standard metagame stabilizing and this set being chocked full of power, there will be cards from Core Set 2019 to make their way into Standard. Gerry and Bryan both have some surprises on their Top 10's. Can you guess which ones?

Grand Prix Las Vegas is in the books, and Krark-Clan Ironworks emerged victorious again. Gerry played trusty Mardu Pyromancer to a respectable 12-3 finish and shares his thoughts on the archetype. There was also the Modern PTQ on Magic Online that was won by... Goblins?! Infect is also silently crushing it, so where is Modern going next? Core 2019 continues to impress with reprints and new cards alike. Is there anything in the set that can contend with Goblin Chainwhirler?

Despite so many different events happening at the same time, The GAM Podcast aims to cover them all! Hear Gerry’s take on the B/U Midrange deck he played at the SCGINVI and his thoughts on Mardu Pyromancer leading up to Grand Prix Las Vegas. There’s also the RPTQ metagame and some talk about the first batch of cards previewed from the return to core sets.

Thanks to our wonderful Patrons for helping us reach our stretch goal -- The GAM Podcast now happens five times a month! These episodes are meant to be timeless classics, either as "level up" episodes or those interviewing guests. With that in mind, The GAM Podcast is proud to present our first returning guest: Kevin "The Daddy" Jones! Kevin talks about his monumental run at Pro Tour Dominaria that ultimately lead to him finishing a heartbreaking 17th place. Join Gerry, Bryan, and Kevin as they discuss the highest highs and lowest lows of playing on the Pro Tour. Daddie! Music: Smash Brothers Melee

At Pro Tour Dominaria, Gerry blew a 3-0 start with a mediocre Standard record with R/B Midrange. Get his thoughts on the PT, the prevalence of red in general, and what to do going forward. Bryan spent the weekend glued to coverage, so he’s got his own thoughts on the matter as well. What’s more important is the RPTQs coming up and how to configure your team’s lineup. If you’re not sure what decks to play, The GAM Podcast has you covered!
