New Standard, Old Tricks

from GerryT Podcast With Dave Shiels · host GerryT Podcast

With a couple days of new Standard under their belt, Gerry and Bryan are ready to share their first impressions.

Is there any hope, or are we doomed to another two years of Standard defined by ramp? 4 Omnath, Locus of Creation (ZNR) 232 1 Mountain (UND) 94 2 Island (UND) 90 1 Plains (UND) 88 4 Lotus Cobra (ZNR) 193 4 Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath (THB) 229 4 Genesis Ultimatum (IKO) 189 3 Radha, Heart of Keld (M21) 224 4 Dryad of the Ilysian Grove (THB) 169 2 Forest (UND) 96 4 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 2 Riverglide Pathway (ZNR) 264 3 Cragcrown Pathway (ZNR) 261 4 Tangled Florahedron (ZNR) 211 1 Bala Ged Recovery (ZNR) 180 4 Turntimber Symbiosis (ZNR) 215 4 Escape to the Wilds (ELD) 189 1 Thassa's Oracle (THB) 73 2 Spikefield Hazard (ZNR) 166 4 Shatterskull Smashing (ZNR) 161 2 Glasspool Mimic (ZNR) 60 Sideboard 2 Spikefield Hazard (ZNR) 166 3 Valakut Exploration (ZNR) 175 4 Mystical Dispute (ELD) 58 3 Elder Gargaroth (M21) 179 3 Redcap Melee (ELD) 135 Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi Timestamps: Gerry and Bryan's Omnath lists - 4:43 How to combat Omnath - 12:54 Reevaluating DFCs - 32:13 Janelle was right - 49:55 Question of the week - 59:49 arenadecklists.gg patreon.com/arenadecklists youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/bryango
