Meanwhile, Michael plays broken fake formats. *** 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/mwsmtg_ twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: Conor O'Donnell (@conorpodonnell) *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Gerry and Michael both made Top 8 of their 40 person RCQ, but is that a success or a failure given that neither of them won? Either way, they both learned a lot about their deck and Modern as a whole and have plenty to share. Even if you don't have any interest in Goryo's, this episode should be helpful. *** 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/mwsmtg_ twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: Conor O'Donnell (@conorpodonnell) *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Gerry immediately derails the podcast by bringing up drama, but there's plenty of time for a nice, in-depth, strategy discussion on Modern and Goryo's Vengeance. NOTE: There are some audio issues on Gerry's end in this episode, but he has ordered some new equipment that should hopefully fix the issue by next episode. *** 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/mwsmtg_ twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: Conor O'Donnell (@conorpodonnell) *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Gerry ended up registering one of the best performing decks in Standards over the weekend -- Bant Rhythm. He wanted a midrange deck that beat up on all the creature decks and that's exactly what took down RC Turin. Plus, it's finally time to gear up for Modern season. *** Go to vaultgamestore.com and use code "GerryT" for 5% off! *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/mws_mtg Edited by: twitter.com/conorpodonnell *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Matt Costa started off his 2026 season registering the best version of the best deck, but it didn't go as planned. Hear about how he got to his version that had an edge in the mirror and where he thinks the deck should go from here.

Weather permitting, Gerry has some RCQs this weekend and plenty of brews with Lorwyn Eclipsed. He tasked Michael Simonetti with trying to keep his brewing from getting out of control, lest another Boros Dragons Incident happens again. *** 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/mwsmtg_ twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: Conor O'Donnell (@conorpodonnell) *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi
