GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels (GerryT Podcast)

It's been a while, but with a return to live Magic creeping slowly closer, the guys decided it was time to check back in on everyone's least/most favorite format: Modern! There are a lot of questions to be answered such as: where did all these Slivers come from? What does Bryan have against Lightning Skelementals? And is it finally time to put our Primeval Titans to rest? Listen and find out!

With big events coming up and a couple of key new prints impacting the format, it’s time to take another look at Historic. The guys are breaking down the format in their classic style, letting you know what they think of the usual suspects and trying to identify what has the potential to be the next big thing.

Strixhaven’s initial appearance on the Standard stage didn’t really blow anyone’s socks off, but beneath a static top of the metagame, Gerry and Bryan see some potential. They’ve bonded over a love for a surprise deck that you won’t see coming, and they’re still holding on to hope that Sacrifice decks are starting to figure things out.

Hullbreaker Horror was dramatically under-hyped during preview season and now it's the most exciting card in Standard! Is it more oppressive than Alrund's Epiphany as a finisher? Gerry and Bryan sound off and provide some solutions.

Alright friends, strap in for this one. It's gonna get weird. It's a slow news week for Magic: the Gathering, so the boys are talking about every thing under the sun.

Let's be frank. The Arena Decklists boys don't think it makes any sense to give the Alchemy format your money right now. But, if you have already spent the wildcards or just hate value, the cast refuses to hang you out to dry. Using the patented Gerry T Bucket System, they give you the tools you need to think about the format critically and take home the cash this weekend. Also featuring the now-requisite amount of nonsense and outrage! Enjoy!

The unthinkable has happened. The powers-that-be in Magic: the Gathering have given Gerry and Bryan complete autonomy, and are allowing them to alter every B+R list in Magic (obv not really). What is in store for your favorite format? Standard, Modern, Legacy... even Commander are all going under the microscope in this unique look at format health!

It’s been an interesting week in Magic: the Gathering. This episode talks about everything you’ve been wanting to know, and some things you most definitely did not want to hear about.

Magic’s newest set marches closer and despite their best efforts to be curmudgeons, Gerry and Bryan are getting hyped.

Magic's newest set has arrived, and the boys are overflowing with praise for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. One card type in particular is dominating a stacked Top 10, but rest assured this episode has a little something for every type of mage. Even if you just want to yell at them for blowing their number one pick, there's a good chance you will get your wish!

Magic Online had the first Standard tournaments with Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and the results are in! Did Kamigawa finally fix Standard or should we all go play Pioneer instead?

Ostensibly, this is an episode of a Magic: the Gathering podcast focused on Standard. There will be talk about good cards and good decks. There will also be talk about general malaise, the end of a content creation era, and what the future holds for the Arena Decklists crew. Take the good with the bad, and have a listen.

Magic’s latest set has started to hit the streets, and early reviews of New Capenna are solid. Does a trio of old friends herald a return to a planeswalker dominated Standard?

Magic: Arena must have gotten word that Gerry and Bryan felt spurned lately, because they came back this week with a desperate plea to keep them gaming and spending wildcards. A new format, organized play, de-emphasizing ladder… it almost sounds too good to be true. But was it enough to win the boys back? Listen and find out!

It's another week and that means another #wotcgaffe. The boys air their greivances about WotC's mistreatment of Carmen Handy and even have enough time to chastise SCG for loosening their covid restrictions.

Find out what's got the guys waxing on every format in Magic, and why Scarwood hag is way closer to a masterpiece than a disaster. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/event-coverage/video-draft-tech-mill-yourself-gerry-thompson-2011-11-18 Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi Timestamps: Legacy - 1:20 Black Midrange in Standard - 19:10 Pioneer - 34:51 Design question for Bryan - 39:46 Throwing shade at Andrew Brown - 52:26 Modern - 1:01:04 arenadecklists.gg patreon.com/arenadecklists twitch.tv/arenadecklists youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/bryango

Standard season marches on and the first seeds of innovation have been planted. Gruul Aggro, Bant, and Izzet Control have begun to make appearances, but there's even wackier stuff going on if you're willing to dig a little deeper. Plus, you know the boys love them some discourse--what's their take on Unfinity preview season?

Bryan couldn’t make it this week, so Gerry recruited Pioneer specialist Todd Anderson to hang out, catch up, and get his perspective on Pioneer and which decks are actually good.

Strap in. The boys have opinions. $250 dollar booster packs stuffed with cards you can't play anywhere, one of the worst designs in Magic history, the foretold Post Malone Secret Lair, and, of course, Transformers... It's been a heck of a week. And it's got one of the hosts contemplating a move they've never considered before. Did we just reach Magic's tipping point? Also, how about another preview season!?

And Modern too! The boys weigh in and early reviews say... not bad! Find out what Gerry has been crushing Arena with, where Modern goes from here, and get the details on a special event Gerry is playing that uses the greatest ban list of all time--all supplemental products!

Standard has a new look and… oh wait, it’s still Jund dominating events. But Jund’s performance in the first week post-bans only tells part of the story. Jund lists continue to evolve and cards like The Kami War and Plaza of Heroes are starting to flex their muscles. Find out where the boys see Standard heading in the coming weeks! https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/standard-challenge-2022-10-16 https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/standard-challenge-2022-10-17 Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi Timestamps: 0:40 - Legacy tournament 16:14 - Standard Arena PTQ 20:54 - Standard MTGO challenges 1:02:03 - Bryan's cat situation arenadecklists.gg patreon.com/arenadecklists twitch.tv/arenadecklists youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/bryango

Never-ending preview season kicks off again, and after a peak in at the Magic World Championships, it's time to look at new cards from The Brothers' War. Find out what Gerry and Bryan think of this absolute gaggle of Mishras and Urzas. All this, and a catastrophic conclusion to CatWatch 2022.

With almost the entire set previewed, Gerry and Bryan have a lot to cover. Brother’s War is a wild set with powerful applications for every Magic format and they even managed to sneak in some exciting reprints!

With the boys hitting levels of pre-release excitement not seen for quite some time, they're queuing up a new approach for their review of the "best" cards in The Brothers' War. Hear, in no particular order, the 10ish cards that got their creative juices flowing and have them stoked to play with Magic's latest set!

Gerry and Bryan want to get excited about Brothers' War, but with barren Standard tournament attendance and no Standard streamers on Twitch, where are new cards supposed to go to get showcased? Is it time to give up and make every set Modern Horizons? The boys make due with what they've got and share their stories from Standard and even talk a little Pioneer in advance of the upcoming Regional Championship.

Meta-game data from the first RC is now flowing thanks to some hard work from the community, and the boys have plenty to weigh in on. How insufferable will Bryan be after Lotus Field showed up as the top performing deck? What archetype was a complete and total scam? Why do both boys think the biggest gainer on the weekend was Mono-Green Devotion... with a 48% win-rate?!? Listen and find out!

This week, Gerry cruelly goads Bryan into an episode of mono-hot takes. Is the stack empty? Is capitalism a shining beacon of truth, ensuring that only the best products get made and sold? Is Alchemy the best format in Magic? No… but we’ll talk about it all anyway!

In the wake of a banning and an artifact-themed set, how has Modern been shaping up? The answer will surprise you, because it sure surprised the hell out of us.

It’s time for new Magic cards! Again! The boys are catching up with Phyrexia’s latest attempt to conquer the multiverse as only they can—with plenty of detours, twists, and turns along the way. Plus, a truly disturbing discovery in the art of an old classic.

It’s a bold direction, but Gerry and Bryan decided to have a cozy podcast with zero discourse. Recent Standard events make it seem like Standard is in a great place, so they break down the format and the successful archetypes. And, because they can’t help themselves, they also talk about discourse.

Once again, it’s been a year. Gerry and Bryan gather round the virtual fireside for a little chat, reviewing EVERY SINGLE Magic release this year. Obviously, this takes about three hours.

After spewing all their content last week and Magic having a slow week, Gerry and Bryan don’t have much to talk about except a relatively tame set of Modern results.

Gerry and Bryan are sitting down to take a look at All Will Be One, and early reviews are off the charts. Multi-format all-stars abound, and we're only starting to scratch the surface of this set. All this, plus the boys go for mani/pedis.

Every card from Phyrexia: All Will Be One has been previewed and the hits keep coming. Gerry and Bryan do a deep two-hour dive on the newest cards, although a large chunk of that two hours is spent reminiscing about all the cool throwbacks in the set. Oops.

As Bryan prepares for Cyclone Gabrielle and its impact on his plans to return to the US, he’s looking for thoughts and prayers from the Arena Decklists family. Unfortunately, Gerry has nothing to offer him but the hottest Standard deck lists around. You take what you can get, I guess.

Some members of the podcast found themselves glued to the Pro Tour throughout its runtime. Other members found themselves trapped in a never ending purgatory above international waters. But all the members have plenty of opinions on the Pro Tour's return, the state of the Pioneer metagame, and when it's appropriate to forgive and forget.
