GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels

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!

Dave won the Standard event at SCG Dallas, and while he didn't go back-to-back that weekend, it did mark his third Top 8 in a row! With a family and a demanding job, how does he do it? Turns out, he might have a secret weapon...

Spoiler: Gerry and Dave didn't break anything, but they have good versions of good decks and are (mostly) ready for SCG Dallas. They share their new technology, potential audibles, and growing fear of Three Blind Mice.

While Dave was on vacation, Gerry was rekindling his love for green cards. He catches Dave up on his controversial Modern decklist and valiantly tries to convince him that Golgari is playable in Standard.

They missed last week, so Gerry and Dave are back this week with a MASSIVE episode! Why Gerry skipped Vegas, some WOE limited, Worlds results, Modern metagame updates, upcoming tournaments, which Standard cards to buy, and... relationship advice? Since Gerry explicitly said people shouldn't read his early writing, Dave made sure to dig up his first article for SCG. DEFINITELY DO NOT READ THIS https://articles.starcitygames.com/articles/feature-article-ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-pre-hollywood-standard/ Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi patreon.com/arenadecklists youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t

Omnath won a massive Modern tournament online this weekend sporting an equally massive maindeck of 75 cards. Thanks to Up in the Beanstalk, we've returned to the discourse about playing more than 60 cards in Modern's favorite midrange pile.

Dave crushed Columbus so hard that even Gerry is an Indomitable Creativity main now. They both recap their weekends before going deep on Modern's former boogeyman, pointing out why it's great right now and where it should go moving forward.
