It's bizarro week for Gerry and Dave. Despite Dave trying Creativity in Modern and the newest Heroic-style deck in Pioneer, he eventually finds out that Treasure Cruise and Arclight Phoenix are strong cards. Similarly, Gerry has built several nonsense decks in Modern, but might be casting The One Ring in his RCQ this weekend. Well, maybe they can sneak some bad cards into their good decks... *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** 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 *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

Magic: Arena must have gotten word that Gerry and Bryan felt spurned lately, because they came back this week with a desperate plea to keep them gaming and spending wildcards.

Ostensibly, this is an episode of a Magic: the Gathering podcast focused on Standard. There will be talk about good cards and good decks. There will also be talk about general malaise, the end of a content creation era, and what the future holds for the Arena Decklists crew. Take the good with the bad, and have a listen.

The unthinkable has happened. The powers-that-be in Magic: the Gathering have given Gerry and Bryan complete autonomy, and are allowing them to alter every B+R list in Magic (obv not really).

Let's be frank. The Arena Decklists boys don't think it makes any sense to give the Alchemy format your money right now. But, if you have already spent the wildcards or just hate value, the cast refuses to hang you out to dry.

Also featuring the now-requisite amount of nonsense and outrage! Enjoy!
