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

As it turns out, Ancestral Recall is not weak.

Gerry sat down with long-time friend Andrew Lipkin to talk about the upcoming charity event in Minnetonka, MN. Mostly, they got all nostalgic about what the formats of the event were like: 2002 Standard, 2007 Standard, and 2010 Standard. More info on the event: https://lodestonegames.com/

WILL MATT COSTA WIN THE PRO TOUR???

Last episode, we reported that infamous cheater Mike Long joined SCG Orlando as "Michael Ringer", but that was incorrect. Michael Ringer is definitely NOT that guy and we apologize for the error. With a lack of Standard changes until after SCG Baltimore, I guess we have to talk about Modern. *** 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/hereliesasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

Gerry already didn’t want to go to that state of Florida and the state of Standard wasn’t helping matters. But, it turns out that he is pretty good at this whole Cauldron thing. Plus, there’s a Mono-Red deck that looks pretty nice.

Gerry doesn't often keep secrets, but when he does, it's because he figured out how to build Scam in Standard. Sadly, it turns out there's a better combo deck in Standard. *** 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/hereliesasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi
