GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

Gerry missed the RC, but Dave attended. Gerry had the bird's eye view from watching coverage and looking at decklists whereas Dave was on the floor. One of the decks from the event particularly caught Gerry's attention. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Prolific shitposter and one of the best Magic coaches out there Mason Clark joins Gerry this week to help him get caught up on Pioneer for Regional Championship DC. Mason's been busting his ass for weeks leading up to this event and has plenty of great insights to share. *** Mason's Twitter: twitter.com/masoneclark Mason's podcast: twitter.com/CCMTG patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Both Gerry and Dave thought Boros was bound to get even stronger, and that might have happened...

It's bizarro week for Gerry and Dave. Despite Dave trying Creativity in Modern and the newest Heroic-style deck in Pioneer, he eventually finds out that Treasure Cruise and Arclight Phoenix are strong cards. Similarly, Gerry has built several nonsense decks in Modern, but might be casting The One Ring in his RCQ this weekend. Well, maybe they can sneak some bad cards into their good decks... *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

Gerry played some Magic last weekend and decided to sleeve up the good cards! Cedric asked him for an RCQ decklist and was crushing with Mardu to the point where Gerry figured he should probably play it as well. That experience gave him a ton of insight into how energy decks should be built going forward. One thing is for sure, these are not their final versions... *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

Nadu is banned and Gerry gets to keep playing Magic! Not only that, but three other cards were banned in Pioneer and Modern, which means Gerry and Dave are both excited and hopeful about the future. The absolute best part of the announcement was the transparency by those involved.

Gerry played a Modern team event last weekend and has a LOT to say. Dave makes Gerry speculate on the B&R, which leads to him making some bold declarations. *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

In this episode, Gerry and Dave kinda cover it all. There's the Apex Gaming team event this weekend, Dave's RCQ excursion with Jeskai Control, and their recent foray into limited, including comparing Bloomburrow to original Mirrodin. *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

There's not much to talk about regarding Pioneer or Modern, so I guess that leaves Standard (and a little bit of limited!). Gerry and Dave go over the most recent Magic Online results, including more than a few surprises and maybe a sleeper hit out of the new set. *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

Gerry made a nice list of 40 exciting Bloomburrow cards to talk about, but Dave wanted to talk about Jeskai. And let's be honest, so did Gerry. Given Dave's 75% win rate in Baltimore, there's plenty to gush about. *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon
