The One That Got Away Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

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 twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Okay, This Esper Pixie Deck Is Actually Pretty Good Jan 01, 2025

Show notes

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 twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

How To Beat Dimir And Red In Standard Dec 29, 2024

Show notes

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 twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

BEST MODERN B&R EVER?!? Dec 18, 2024

Standard Early Impressions With Foundations Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

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.

Looking Toward Standard RCQ Season Oct 31, 2024

Show notes
