After a busy week, Gerry and Dave finally got some time to sit down and record a podcast. Gerry had to hunt him down to it, but hey, it got done.

After a brief delay, the podcast is back! Life has been hectic for Gerry and Dave, but they both managed to sneak in some Magic time.

After some personal news (Gerry won an RCQ + both him and Dave are headed to the Hunter Burton Memorial Open), it's time to look at the metagame breakdown from Pro Tour Aetherdrift!

Gerry went to the Regional Championship in Portland and registered a deck where he found it difficult to answer the question, "What are you playing?" While often not a good sign, Gerry thought his deck was quite good.

Michael Majors returns! Gerry and Majors are teaming up once again for RC Portland and they've been in the kitchen nonstop for a month or so. Together, they spent about a week on the spicy combination of Faithless Looting, Sneaky Snacker, and Flare of Denial, only to discover that Modern was overly hostile to that sort of thing. Ah, well.

2025 re-run bonus notes: This rerun is releasing on the precise 5yr anniversary of its original release - in other words, this celebration of St. John's 40th birthday, featuring his wife, both his kids, both his parents, and his brother is re-releasing on St. John's 45th birthday! Also, it is the second of a trilogy of music blocks (the first of which was last month's rerun), which, if not already clear to long-time listeners of the show will be explained in the intro to the third track of the trilogy, which will be our March 2025 rerun. So stay tuned til next month's rerun! DISCLAIMER 1: DEAD-NAME ALERT! August is not their birth name, and this episode was recorded prior to their self-discovery, so it uses their birth/dead name. Because of this, I checked with August prior to releasing it to make sure they were okay with it. They said they were okay with it so long as I included the disclaimer - which I would've done anyway! :-D DISCLAIMER 2: Apologies for some of the off-color jokes and references in the blooper reel. I was not as far along in my personal transformation at the point this episode was released. There are things that made this blooper that would not have today. Therefore, please consider it a piece of history rather than an accurate representation of current perspectives. DISCLAIMER 3: the production value was much worse back in 2020. So if this is your first time hearing Nerd Noise Radio, please keep in mind that our production values have much improved in the time since. ----------------------------- Original (2020) Show Notes ----------------------------- Today's broadcast is C1E51 for Mishmash Monday, February 3rd, 2020.

Even though Gerry didn't make it out to an RCQ last weekend, he's been trying to figure out how to build the perfect Dimir deck in Standard. Breaking it sometimes takes some... unique choices. Modern finally starts moving post-B&R!

Gerry and Dave built the best deck in the field for Spotlight Series Atlanta, but unfortunately, they fell a bit short on having the best version possible. Card availability ended Gerry's tournament before it began and Dave finished one win out of Top 8.

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? *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi
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?

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.

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. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

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.

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. 38:01 - Authority of the Consuls, Day of Judgment 43:59 - Ajani, Caller of the Pride 45:31 - Lyra Dawnbringer 49:21 - Opt 52:33 - Spectral Sailor 54:50 - Faebloom Trick 57:22 - Infestation Sage 58:33 - Vengeful Bloodwitch 59:13 - Massacre Wurm 1:00:50 - Ghitu Lavarunner, Viashino Pyromancer 1:01:45 - Boltwave 1:03:41 - Burst Lightning 1:03:45 - Ball Lightning 1:07:36 - Kellan 1:09:54 - Boros Charm 1:16:26 - Llanowar Elves 1:22:50 - Reclamation Sage 1:23:44 - Vivien Reid 1:25:36 - Scavenging Ooze 1:29:10 - Maelstrom Pulse 1:32:31 - Solemn Simulacrum 1:38:23 - Mazemind Tome 1:42:58 - Pyromancer's Goggles *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi
Gerry and Dave take a more in-depth look at the decklists from Worlds and what they're working on going forward. Despite not winning, Mono-Red Aggro made a huge impact on the format, and the format is struggling to adapt, but Gerry might have some answers. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

What's got Gerry and Dave so excited? This announcement: https://magic.gg/news/play-in-rcqs-earn-secret-lair-promos-and-qualify-for-pro-tour-3-in-2025 Standard is back on the schedule in a big way, which might mean Standard stays relevant for the next couple of years. Ideally, we'd live in a world where your investment into a format would last longer than a single season, and we might be headed in that direction.

Gerry missed the RC, but Dave attended. Gerry had the bird's eye view from watching coverage and looking at decklists whereas Dave was on the floor. One of the decks from the event particularly caught Gerry's attention. *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi
Prolific shitposter and one of the best Magic coaches out there Mason Clark joins Gerry this week to help him get caught up on Pioneer for Regional Championship DC.

It's bizarro week for Gerry and Dave. Despite Dave trying Creativity in Modern and the newest Heroic-style deck in Pioneer, he eventually finds out that Treasure Cruise and Arclight Phoenix are strong cards. Similarly, Gerry has built several nonsense decks in Modern, but might be casting The One Ring in his RCQ this weekend. Well, maybe they can sneak some bad cards into their good decks... *** 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 *** 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
Gerry played some Magic last weekend and decided to sleeve up the good cards! Cedric asked him for an RCQ decklist and was crushing with Mardu to the point where Gerry figured he should probably play it as well. That experience gave him a ton of insight into how energy decks should be built going forward. One thing is for sure, these are not their final versions... *** 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 *** 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
Nadu is banned and Gerry gets to keep playing Magic! Not only that, but three other cards were banned in Pioneer and Modern, which means Gerry and Dave are both excited and hopeful about the future. The absolute best part of the announcement was the transparency by those involved.
