GAM E46 - Ixalan Hits and Misses Sep 08, 2017

Show notes

Our first episode discussing Ixalan cards! The Dinosaurs look great! They're the most straight-forward tribe, whereas Pirates, Merfolk, and Vampires are a tad confusing. What are we supposed to be doing with them? Also, what do the reprints of Duress, Spell Pierce, Opt, and Lightning Strike mean for Standard? Is Opt the next coming of Preordain?

GAM E45 - What We Like in Standard and Modern Sep 01, 2017

Show notes

This week we tackle a little bit of Standard and a lot of Modern! With Grand Prix Washington DC this weekend, it's the last chance to play Battle for Zendikar in this ever-changing Standard format. Who is going to come out on top? Modern has gone through some shakeups lately, and conveniently enough, it's the first time Gerry and Bryan have gotten to talk about Modern. See what Bryan's approach to the format has been, why Gerry is off Grixis Death's Shadow, and what the new Modern metagame looks like. Next week: Ixalon previews!

GAM E44 - One Standard Rule Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

Gerry has one rule for Standard that he's going to put to good use at Grand Prix Washington DC. If you've got a Standard tournament coming up, the rule could greatly inform your deck selection. This Standard format has been mostly defined by deck selection and reading the metagame correctly. Where's it headed next?

Show notes

It looked like W/U Monument was poised to take over the format, then Ramunap Red, then Zombies and B/G -- How is Standard moving so quickly? How has the dissemination of information changed things? What's the next step in staying on top of Standard?
