Standard RCQ season is about to begin! Gerry and Dave have been trying all the decks out there and are ready to break down the pros and cons of each. 

But first, Dave has some updates for Indomitable Creativity in Modern. It's not getting much attention, but maybe it should?

Creativity Post-Ban And Rating Each Deck In Standard

Dave is back, but Matt Costa is still here too! Hear about Matt's RCQ Top 8 with Domain Ramp, the cool deck that knocked him out, why Dave hates Ramp, and how aggro is taking over Standard.

Dave Returns And Falls In Love With Monastery Swiftspear In Standard

After the recent Modern bannings, the format was in upheaval, but seemed to have settled into a fairly stable space. Or did it? Despite the metagame having every macro archetype represented and nothing seeming too strong, nearly the entire format revolves around creatures. We don't have Fury anymore, but we do have Seismic Assault! 

Incredible deck-builder cftsoc3 rocked Gerry and Dave's world with a take on their beloved Indomitable Creativity list, now with Seismic Assault and Life from the Loam. The boys are in love, but will it lead to heartbreaks or a happy ending? 

Plus, we have a new sponsor, HeavyPlay! They're a card gaming accessories brand, with innovative takes on playmats, deck boxes, and sleeves. Most notably, their products feature their EquipMAG System, which you allows you to magnetically attach your deck box, dice tray, and playmat to each other. Gerry and Dave are both accessory snobs, but love HeavyPlay's stuff, will happily be using it at their future events, and wouldn't have accepted the sponsorship (or used their products) if they didn't. 

You can find them at heavyplay.com or on any social media site @HeavyPlayLLC.

Angelic Harpsichord (FUTURE TYPE BEAT) - Determined

Why is Magic so hard? Gerry and Dave went to the Regional Championship in Denver, but neither won a match! Hear about their deck of choice, what happened, and whether they’d do it all over again. 

Plus, they talk Standard for the remaining RCQs.

Why Gerry And Dave Couldn’t Win A Match At The RC

While Dave was busy acclimating back to normal life, Gerry and Matt were putting in work — Both of them won RCQs, and so did Dave’s brother Brian! To top it off, all three of them did it with different decks. 

Hear about how Gerry ended up on Boros Convoke, how Matt may have ruined Standard with Azorius Control, and what their recommendations are going forward.

Gerry And Matt Both Won RCQs!

Disquiet Junto Project 0635: ’Round the Bend
The Assignment: You’re in a duo, and your bandmate is a train.

This is a remix of a track by @horsthelmood based on a recording of a czech railway staff member serving food and drinks in a train. Thanks for providing the original track for remixing.

The image associated with this track is a photograph by Todd (Toaster) Elliott, who also provided the field recordings of the train. Thank you for that.

Train Mantra - HorsthelMood vs. Bot (disquiet0635)

Gerry and Dave break down everything from MC Chicago, including the Pioneer Pro Tour and Standard 75K! Is a new deck enough to sway their opinion on Pioneer? Does Vampires even count as "new?" 

Plus, how do the wild Standard results affect Dave's RCQ aspirations? Is he going to become a Splendid Reclamation gamer?

Everything About Magic Con Chicago

Dave finally broke his RCQ curse and cruised to the Top 8 with Standard Dimir Midrange. He loved the deck, but hated one of Gerry’s favorite cards. He shares his matchups, what he’d change going forward, and whether or not he’d run it back. 

Plus, Gerry has SCG Philly this weekend, which means he’s thinking about Modern. This time, it means getting brain wormed by a deck that is currently .1% of the Modern metagame. Surely this will end well…
