Where were Gerry and Dave last week? Well, strap in, because it's storytime with GerryT. Plus, Gerry and Dave have their RC predictions, what they've been playing, and what they'd be play at the RC. *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

GerryT had Matt Costa back on the show to both gush and vent about Modern Horizons 3. Although early previews have some cards that make Gerry very giddy, there's one specific reason why he doesn't think this set is all sunshine and rainbows. Can we stop with the free spells already? *** Check out our sponsor, HeavyPlay! They're a card gaming accessories brand, with innovative takes on playmats, deck boxes, and sleeves.

Gerry spent the weekend in North Carolina playing Modern and he's got a lot to say about it. He crushed the first day, but failed to make Top 8. Is Omnath worth running back?

Gerry T has been living in the queues since Modern Horizons 2 dropped, and he's whipped up the best version of the best deck. The combination of Asmor and Urza's Saga is this set's Hogaak, and if you want to win in Modern, you owe it to yourself to learn how Gerry has positioned this deck for success.

Matt has returned from his classified mission and finally joins the rest of the team again for today's episode. After being the 37th podcast to briefly discuss the recent MPL changes, we explore somewhat of a bombshell that was dropped by Kotaku on Thursday. In a monster of an article that touches on tinkering with viewership numbers and the looming threat of esports being  a bubble ready to burst right now, they also present some insider knowledge of Wizards of the Coast inflating Mythic Invitational Twitch stats in order to meet promises made to sponsors. We also shed some light on the allegations of match fixing in Pauper leagues that Kendra Smith recently raised on Twitter, as well as the planned structural and payout adjustements of MTGO leagues. AAAAAAAAAAAND of course there's a ton of Modern Horizon spoilers, with some really sweet cards in them, which might even spawn new archetypes. Tune in if you wanna find out why we are all so excited for the second-worst 2 mana Planeswalker ever printed! Show Notes * MPL Roster Change Announcement * Gerry Thompson's statement regarding leaving the MPL * “Disorganized Play & the Magic Pro League” by Saffron Olive * GAM Podcast / Arena Decklists Podcast Episode on GerryT's move * “Shady Numbers & Bad Business: Inside the Esports Bubble” – Kotaku * Kendra Smith's Pauper Match Fixing Twitter Thread * All Modern Horizons Spoilers We'd love to hear your feedback on today's episode in the comment section or via Twitter. This is only the second episode I have edited myself and I'd be happy to hear any suggestions or advise on how we could improve your enjoyment of Everyday Eternal even further! So long, Julian

This week, Chris and Collins are talking about a small announcement or two out of Organized play. You know, little things like GerryT quitting the MPL, new MPL members, diversity invitations to Arena Mythic Championships. That sort of little thing. Plus! Standard: so many planeswalkers, so little time. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Before the Mythic Invitational began, Cedric Phillips sat down with Gerry Thompson at Shake Shack in Boston to chat about their preparation for the biggest Magic tournament of all time and their burger rankings. What are the two of them playing at PAX East? And what's Gerry's favorite burger joint? Listen and find out!

A time to celebrate fun-sized candy, pumpkin spice everything, and especially costumes. I've always liked costume parties and cosplay and masks, because everyone becomes themselves when they are dressed up safe as someone else. So on this, the only day of the year where it's socially acceptable to show up at your day job as a clown unless your day job is as an actual clown, what Magic celebrity would you dress up as on the most wonderful night of fright of the year?

And the cover art attracted attention for all the wrong reasons, not only because LOL Tibalt and his triple breasted jacket but also because of the yikesworthy cover art. Chandra at Tibalt's feet feels like a pretty unrealistic scenario, but it is comic books! Thor was a frog once, and that is almost as bizarre. So since we're in the land of make-believe where up is down, left is right, and Tibalt is all-powerful, what other storylines can you dream up for future Magic comics titles?

Players from previous Preprerelease guests like ProJared and Noxious to esports folks like Kripp and Trump, Twitch is all MTGArena all the time today. Clearly this is the biggest Magic event of the past 7 days, at least according to Wizards' advertising (no tea no shade), but we've been busy filming the Complete Guilds of Ravnica Set Review (available now on a YouTube near you) so I guess we missed the boat there. But in an effort to stay hip and relevant, how should Magic Mics get with the times?

Hoping to calm emotions but instead doing exactly the opposite, Amazon responded to the creepiness in a statement, saying, "We're aware of this and working to fix it." Now, we broadcast on Twitch, also a subsidiary of the Amazon corporation, which means it's only a matter of time before this here channel gains sentience and joins the robot resistance to overthrow humanity. So what do you think will be the first step towards Twitch.tv/MagicMics impending takeover?

This week on the Grindcast: Collins is fresh off of a deep run at nationals, missing out on top 8 only because of a very prepared Gerry T.
