Innistrad: Crimson Vow Top 10

Here's my entry for The Producers Corner Sample Challenge #279. Chopped up my first flips in the MPC touch, then messed arround with them in Ableton and wrapped up all the bells and whistles.

Good fun and lookin' forward to the live show!

Deejoohcee - Real Time - TPC 279

All it took for Gerry to win an RCQ was flying to Boston (and listening to Dave)! They also played the Arena Open, Legacy Showcase, and a Pioneer Challenge.

Also, changes are coming to Pioneer and Modern, but what are they?

Gerry Finally Wins An RCQ (Plus A Pleasant WotC Surprise)

Xtreme Krell Gestures

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?

Domain Ramp Is Beatable 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.

Is Seismic Assault Taking Over Modern?

If there's a big tournament in Hartford, Matt Costa will be there. He'll also be here to tell you about his weekend playing Golgari Yawgmoth in both events. In the meantime, Dave might be putting down Indomitable Creativity for the time being. 

Another friend of the show, Adam Snook, took Grixis Death's Shadow into Sunday's Top 8 and he might have converted his friends. We talk all things Death's Shadow, but then Matt brain wormed us toward the end. RC Denver is next weekend and now we're all in danger.

Did SCG Hartford Just Completely Warp RC Denver?

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

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?
