Both Gerry and Dave thought Boros was bound to get even stronger, and that might have happened...

[PODCAST] Gerry Won Another RCQ

Javier is too good...

Gerry and Dave watched most of the Worlds coverage and plenty to say about recent announcements, how the tournament played out, and what's looking like the best choices for Standard RCQ season.

Final Fantasy In Standard, Worlds Review, And Best Standard Decks

Even though Modern RCQ just ended, Gerry and Dave might have some big Modern events coming up, so Dave decided to give Boros Energy a shot. Spoiler: he thought it was quite good.

Plus, Gerry went deep on trying to figure out which Foundations were going to make a real impact on Standard.

Dave Finally Tries Boros Energy, Foundations' Impact On Standard

Foundations is out and Standard continues to impress. Mono-Red Aggro is the main thing you need to consider when choosing and building your deck, but is very, very beatable. Gerry has some technology after getting to play the format a bit on Tuesday.

Standard Early Impressions With Foundations

You might expect red aggro decks to start with 4 Monstrous Rage, but Gerry made Top 8 of an RCQ playing zero copies. He shares his decklist, the reasoning, and what he's looking at playing going forward.

Also, MXP Houston is this weekend! Gerry and Dave are playing something Boros-adjacent, but there are a few interesting option.

Gerry Makes Bold Choice With Mono-Red In Standard, Plus MXP Houston

This B&R announcement is WILD. 

Gerry and Dave really wanted to talk some about Standard and MXP Houston, but they didn't have time. Two hours were spent talking about the all new Modern format and they still wanted to keep going.

BEST MODERN B&R EVER?!?

With the rough equivalent of a Standard Grand Prix happening soon in Atlanta, Gerry and Dave have been spending a ton of time trying to figure out what to play. Dimir Midrange is the clear best deck, but all the red variants aren't far behind. Not many other strategies appear close, so what's the play? 

Gerry has a plan.

How To Beat Dimir And Red In Standard

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?

Okay, This Esper Pixie Deck Is Actually Pretty Good

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.

Gerry went to Charlotte for the RC, played a tiny bit of Magic, but has a large amount of thoughts on Modern. He might even have a new favorite deck. Before we get to that B&R announcement, there are a few other big Modern tournaments coming up, such as the Hunter Burton Memorial Open. Gerry and Dave are recording a podcast LIVE at 3PM Friday.
