Gerry Was WRONG
Success Or Failure?
Gerry and Michael both made Top 8 of their 40 person RCQ, but is that a success or a failure given that neither of them won? Either way, they both learned a lot about their deck and Modern as a whole and have plenty to share. Even if you don't have any interest in Goryo's, this episode should be helpful. *** NEW SPONSOR vaultgamestore.com Use code "GerryT" for 5% off your order or 5% bonus credit on trade-in! *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/g3rryt twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/mwsmtg_ twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: Conor O'Donnell (@conorpodonnell) *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi

How To Fix RCQs And In-Depth Goryo's Discussion
Gerry immediately derails the podcast by bringing up drama, but there's plenty of time for a nice, in-depth, strategy discussion on Modern and Goryo's Vengeance.
