GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

Standard RCQ season is about to begin! Gerry and Dave have been trying all the decks out there and are ready to break down the pros and cons of each. But first, Dave has some updates for Indomitable Creativity in Modern. It's not getting much attention, but maybe it should?

Gerry and Dave are joined by Pro Tour Top 8er Matt Costa, who successfully won a Last Chance Qualifier with his Izzet Drakes deck. They chat about their history together, why Matt would fly to an RC he wasn't qualified for, and his experience with Izzet Drakes in the new Pioneer format.

Gerry has been going deep on Smuggler's Copter brews ever since the unban. Find out has merit, what didn't cut it, and how many cards Gerry has in his decks that Dave has never heard of.

Gerry tricked Bryan into doing a podcast! Get updates on his life, then stick around for nonsense, just like old times.

An exciting B&R change means an emergency episode! Gerry and Dave dive into the changes, how they feel about them, and how Modern and Pioneer will look going forward. The Smuggler's Copter unban is a surprise that very few people saw coming and one that creates serious ramifications.

All it took for Gerry to win an RCQ was flying to Boston (and listening to Dave)! They also played the Arena Open, Legacy Showcase, and a Pioneer Challenge. Also, changes are coming to Pioneer and Modern, but what are they?

We've got a little bit of everything this week. Modern, Limited, Legacy, AND Vintage. It was so much that they forgot to talk about how Pioneer was broken over the weekend.

Spoiler: Gerry had medium results, but learned a ton about Beans, Scam, and Modern in general. He shares all of it, plus some of the promising ideas he hasn't been able to test yet.

Gerry is ready for Pittsburgh! Or is he? More Bean nonsense, more excuses for not playing Scam, and likely more losses are heading his way.

What's a boy with no weekend plans to do? Play an ungodly amount of Magic in order to share what he learned. Why did Rakdos Scam risk giving Gerry a heart attack? What are the updates to Cascade Beans? How many times did Gerry queue into Mono-Black Coffers round 1? All these questions answered and more!
