Jan 22 2025 83 mins  
Even though Gerry didn't make it out to an RCQ last weekend, he's been trying to figure out how to build the perfect Dimir deck in Standard. Breaking it sometimes takes some... unique choices. Modern finally starts moving post-B&R! Overlord of the Balemurk and Eldrazi Ramp look like standouts. *** NEW SPONSOR vaultgamestore.com Use code "GerryT" for 5% off your order or 5% bonu

The One That Got Away

Jan 07 2025 114 mins  
Gerry and Dave built the best deck in the field for Spotlight Series Atlanta, but unfortunately, they fell a bit short on having the best version possible. Card availability ended Gerry's tournament before it began and Dave finished one win out of Top 8. Find out how they got from Esper Pixie to the best deck in the room! *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists

Okay, This Esper Pixie Deck Is Actually Pretty Good

Dec 31 2024 81 mins  
When it comes to Standard, Gerry prefers to be proactive, so he swore off the weird looking pile of Esper cards with Nurturing Pixie and Hopeless Nightmare. However, due to Dave's recent Standard Challenge Top 4, Gerry is seeing things a little different. It turns out, the deck IS proactive and maybe up Gerry's alley? *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twit

How To Beat Dimir And Red In Standard

Dec 28 2024 72 mins  
With the rough equivalent of a Standard Grand Prix happening soon in Atlanta, Gerry and Dave have been spending a ton of time trying to figure out what to play. Dimir Midrange is the clear best deck, but all the red variants aren't far behind. Not many other strategies appear close, so what's the play? Gerry has a plan. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists

BEST MODERN B&R EVER?!?

Dec 17 2024 117 mins  
This B&R announcement is WILD. Gerry and Dave really wanted to talk some about Standard and MXP Houston, but they didn't have time. Two hours were spent talking about the all new Modern format and they still wanted to keep going. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresas

Gerry Makes Bold Choice With Mono-Red In Standard, Plus MXP Houston

Dec 04 2024 87 mins  
You might expect red aggro decks to start with 4 Monstrous Rage, but Gerry made Top 8 of an RCQ playing zero copies. He shares his decklist, the reasoning, and what he's looking at playing going forward. Also, MXP Houston is this weekend! Gerry and Dave are playing something Boros-adjacent, but there are a few interesting option. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenade

Standard Early Impressions With Foundations

Nov 13 2024 105 mins  
Foundations is out and Standard continues to impress. Mono-Red Aggro is the main thing you need to consider when choosing and building your deck, but is very, very beatable. Gerry has some technology after getting to play the format a bit on Tuesday.
