Other than that, we talk Amonkhet! First we talked about brews, but now it's time to get into the decks that we think have the best shot of doing well in Week 1.

Amonkhet preview season is in full swing! On this episode, Gerry and Michael talk about ten decks for Amonkhet Standard, both new and old! Which one do you think has the most promise?

This week we get not one, but two preview cards for Amonkhet - Manglehorn and Magma Spray! Find out why Michael and Gerry think Manglehorn will be one of the most impactful cards in the entire set. Plus, we talk about everything else from Amonkhet that's been previewed so far!

Amonkhet preview season begins! It's pretty light so far, so Gerry and Michael mostly talk about the mechanics and their implications. There's also some Grand Prix San Antonio stuff toward the end.

Wondering what's going on in Modern and why? Is there a deck you think is overplayed (or underplayed) and don't really know why? Gerry and Michael break down the best performing decks in Modern and give their thoughts on each archetype.

This week we cover some general topics. What goes into deck selection? How do we rate ourselves? But first, we talk about planeswalkers, what they're doing to Magic, and whether or not that should change.

Whether you're playing with or against Mardu Vehicles, it's important to know what's going on with Standard's best deck. In this deck tech episode, G&M go over the history of the deck, why it's built the way it is now, and how to tweak it to great success in the future. With Grand Prix New Jersey on the horizon, you can't miss this episode!

This week, it was Michael Majors who took Death's Shadow to a Top 8 finish in Modern. We talk about Death's Shadow, updates, potential color swaps, and Modern as a whole. There's also a good bit of Standard talk in there. Plus, we get a sign off from a special guest!

Gerry and Majors both played some Modern last weekend. While Gerry's deck was broken, Majors was... Interesting. They talk about Modern, Death's Shadow's impact on the format going forward, and what to do this weekend. What needs to happen in order for Majors's deck to be great? See y'all at #SCGINDY!

We're both playing in Modern tournaments this weekend! Tune in and see what our plans are for both GPVAN and SCGBALT. They've both made some interesting deck choices...

Michael and Gerry had wildly mediocre Pro Tour performances! They talk about their testing process, the Pro Tour itself, how Mardu came to dominate. As always, they get a liiiiiittle off topic...

Michael and Gerry break down the popular decks from #SCGCOL. What they liked and didn't like will probably surprise you...

These bannings are crazy! But possibly crazy good. What are the implications? Warning: We go off on some weirrrrrd tangents.

We lost a Platinum pro, but we're keeping this train moving. Aether Revolt preview season was enough to get us out of retirement. Tezzeret the Schemer is the most underrated card in the set, and Majors has a card he thinks is legitimately broken. Gerry and Michael talk about some of the better cards in AER that aren't on anyone's radar.

Andrew leaves the podcast for green pastures. But we discuss going to wizards and the future of the GAM itself!

The only hyper-competitive Magic: the Gathering podcast featuring one Gold and two Platinum players! Kaladesh season is in full swing and the guys are brewing and playtesting already. What do they think is looking good so far?

In this week's episode the each members of the GAM talk about their top 4 favorite new cards for the brand new Standard format.

The only hyper-competitive, Constructed-focused Magic: The Gathering podcast, featuring two Platinum and one Gold pros. This week we welcome our second guest, World Champion Brian Braun-Duin! He talks about his approach to a unique tournament like Worlds, the decks he played, and what's in store for the future. Also, did Andrew meet his future wife at PAX? It's a more interesting story than you might think!

This week we discuss a bit about worlds and a lot about improving your game.

This week we discuss Major's top 4 finish at the invitational, how he broke standard, and some modern musings for this weekend.
