After some personal news (Gerry won an RCQ + both him and Dave are headed to the Hunter Burton Memorial Open), it's time to look at the metagame breakdown from Pro Tour Aetherdrift! An initial look at the numbers might make the format look boring, but there's a massive "other" category with plenty of spice. *** NEW SPONSOR vaultgamestore.com Use code "GerryT" for 5% off your order or 5% bonus credit on trade-in! *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/g3rryt 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

Gerry went to the Regional Championship in Portland and registered a deck where he found it difficult to answer the question, "What are you playing?" While often not a good sign, Gerry thought his deck was quite good. Dave had many, many questions... *** NEW SPONSOR vaultgamestore.com Use code "GerryT" for 5% off your order or 5% bonus credit on trade-in! *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/g3rryt twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitter.com/michaeljmajors 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

Michael Majors returns! Gerry and Majors are teaming up once again for RC Portland and they've been in the kitchen nonstop for a month or so. Together, they spent about a week on the spicy combination of Faithless Looting, Sneaky Snacker, and Flare of Denial, only to discover that Modern was overly hostile to that sort of thing. Ah, well. Some other time perhaps. *** NEW SPONSOR vaultgamestore.com Use code "GerryT" for 5% off your order or 5% bonus credit on trade-in! *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/g3rryt twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitter.com/michaeljmajors 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

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% bonus credit on trade-in! *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/g3rryt 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

Gerry took his updated Dimir Enchantments to an RCQ and lost in the finals. Hear about his updates to the deck (including some very weird cards) and where he's going from here. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/g3rryt 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

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.

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
