GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

Gerry and Majors break down what happened in the Modern Grand Prix, their picks for the best decks, the best builds of those decks, and some cool technology that popped up. If you enjoy Modern, you can't miss it!

Is it just the best? How do you beat it? What version is the best? In this episode, Gerry and Michael break down Standard's most hated archetype. Even if you're not planning on spinning the Marvel yourself, you need to know how to beat it. They also get into some interesting theory points, such as how many reactive cards you want on the play. It's basically a can't miss episode.

Andrew Brown takes the reins for this special episode all about Pro Tour Amonkhet and the first and sixteenth place finishes for Gerry and Michael. They talk about their preparation, the Standard metagame, and even a little bit about Amonkhet draft.

Gerry and Michael investigate why Mardu seemed to be absolutely annihilating everyone at #SCGATL. Were the bannings short-sighted? Are we in for a one deck format instead of a two deck format? They don't seem to think so, and even have some thoughts on decks that didn't dominate the weekend, but definitely looked like they had the tools to succeed.

Note: This episode was recorded before Felidar Guardian was emergency banned. Most of the information is still good though! With Amonkhet officially out on Magic Online, Gerry and Michael finally get to work on tackling Standard. What are the early winners and losers of their testing, and what has everyone else been playing? If you like the show, we'd appreciate any support you could give at Patreon.com/thegampodcast.

Amonkhet preview season is in full swing! On this episode, Gerry and Michael talk about ten decks for Amonkhet Standard, both new and old! Which one do you think has the most promise?

This week we get not one, but two preview cards for Amonkhet - Manglehorn and Magma Spray! Find out why Michael and Gerry think Manglehorn will be one of the most impactful cards in the entire set. Plus, we talk about everything else from Amonkhet that's been previewed so far!

Amonkhet preview season begins! It's pretty light so far, so Gerry and Michael mostly talk about the mechanics and their implications. There's also some Grand Prix San Antonio stuff toward the end.

Wondering what's going on in Modern and why? Is there a deck you think is overplayed (or underplayed) and don't really know why? Gerry and Michael break down the best performing decks in Modern and give their thoughts on each archetype.
