Gerry finally played Magic for the first time in a while and might have accidentally broken Modern? Was it because Dave's incessant nagging finally paid off? (Spoiler: No, no it was not.)
Hear all about the legendary 24 person 15K held at Galaxy Con, what led to Gerry shuffling Zoo and Goryo's together, and what he thinks about the deck going forward.

The new B&R announcement is verrrrrry interesting. Gerry Thompson and Dave Shiels talk about the specific cards, but also the announcement itself.
Plus, both of them have tournaments this weekend to prep for.

Dave finally broke his RCQ curse and cruised to the Top 8 with Standard Dimir Midrange. He loved the deck, but hated one of Gerry’s favorite cards. He shares his matchups, what he’d change going forward, and whether or not he’d run it back.
Plus, Gerry has SCG Philly this weekend, which means he’s thinking about Modern. This time, it means getting brain wormed by a deck that is currently .1% of the Modern metagame. Surely this will end well…

Gerry and Dave break down everything from MC Chicago, including the Pioneer Pro Tour and Standard 75K! Is a new deck enough to sway their opinion on Pioneer? Does Vampires even count as "new?"
Plus, how do the wild Standard results affect Dave's RCQ aspirations? Is he going to become a Splendid Reclamation gamer?

While Dave was busy acclimating back to normal life, Gerry and Matt were putting in work — Both of them won RCQs, and so did Dave’s brother Brian! To top it off, all three of them did it with different decks.
Hear about how Gerry ended up on Boros Convoke, how Matt may have ruined Standard with Azorius Control, and what their recommendations are going forward.

Why is Magic so hard? Gerry and Dave went to the Regional Championship in Denver, but neither won a match! Hear about their deck of choice, what happened, and whether they’d do it all over again.
Plus, they talk Standard for the remaining RCQs.

If there's a big tournament in Hartford, Matt Costa will be there. He'll also be here to tell you about his weekend playing Golgari Yawgmoth in both events. In the meantime, Dave might be putting down Indomitable Creativity for the time being.
Another friend of the show, Adam Snook, took Grixis Death's Shadow into Sunday's Top 8 and he might have converted his friends. We talk all things Death's Shadow, but then Matt brain wormed us toward the end. RC Denver is next weekend and now we're all in danger.

After the recent Modern bannings, the format was in upheaval, but seemed to have settled into a fairly stable space. Or did it? Despite the metagame having every macro archetype represented and nothing seeming too strong, nearly the entire format revolves around creatures. We don't have Fury anymore, but we do have Seismic Assault!
Incredible deck-builder cftsoc3 rocked Gerry and Dave's world with a take on their beloved Indomitable Creativity list, now with Seismic Assault and Life from the Loam. The boys are in love, but will it lead to heartbreaks or a happy ending?

Dave is back, but Matt Costa is still here too! Hear about Matt's RCQ Top 8 with Domain Ramp, the cool deck that knocked him out, why Dave hates Ramp, and how aggro is taking over Standard.
