Arena Decklists Modern Tier List (3/28/22)

What sits atop Magic’s most popular competitive format? Bryan Gottlieb walks you through all of Modern’s top options, with decklists aplenty.

Explorer Crash Course

With Bryan working on other things, it’s up to Gerry to teach him everything he needs to know about Explorer! Bryan wants to know which decks are best, how the metagame is shifting, and even forces Gerry to give his personal recommendations.

Mason Clark, The 4c Omnath Expert

With Bryan currently traveling across the world, Gerry is joined by Dreamhack Dallas winner Mason Clark. They talk about how he keeps winning with Omnath in Modern, why they call him eSports, and even drop some hot takes.

A Brief Exploration of Explorer

And we do mean brief. The boys intended to talk about Arena’s newest format in depth but pressing matters like turtles, international travel, and the difference between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat took over the broadcast. We’ll get ‘em next time!

Standard After The Capenna Championship

#MTGSNC had a huge impact on Standard. Gerry and Bryan cover the highlights and innovation of this powerful eight set Standard format (and the pitfalls of hosting large tournaments on MTG Arena).

Mastering Streets of New Capenna Limited

When Gerry T decides he likes a limited format, the world better watch out. He’s been living on Arena for the past few weeks, crushing New Capenna limited on his way to Mythic. Now, he’s ready to share his wisdom with Bryan (and you!). A can’t miss show for everyone planning on participating in the upcoming Arena Championship Qualifiers!

More Complaining, Plus Some Pioneer Content

It’s another week and that means another #wotcgaffe. The boys air their greivances about WotC’s mistreatment of Carmen Handy and even have enough time to chastise SCG for loosening their covid restrictions. If you want to get straight to the Pioneer content, I suppose you skip to the 35 minute mark, but why would you?

New Capenna Modern Deck Dump

New Capenna is here and as is tradition, the boys are checking in on its influence in Modern. While it may not be the deepest set in Modern’s history, there are still plenty of shakeups to be found if you know where to look!

Just When I Thought I Was Out They Pull Me Back In

Magic: Arena must have gotten word that Gerry and Bryan felt spurned lately, because they came back this week with a desperate plea to keep them gaming and spending wildcards. A new format, organized play, de-emphasizing ladder… it almost sounds too good to be true. But was it enough to win the boys back? Listen and find out!

Building Around The Best Card In Streets: Ob Nixilis, The Adversary

Even though there’s much to be excited about in Streets of New Capenna, Gerry only has eyes for Ob Nixilis. Does Ob slot into existing archetypes or create his own? Gerry has the answers.

The Top 10 Cards of New Capenna

New Capenna is almost here, and if you’re looking to find out who will be running these Streets after it’s release, you’ve come to the right place. Hint: his name starts with an “O” and ends with a “B”.
