The metagames for both formats finally set, so Gerry and Bryan get to work figuring out what they should be playing in each format. Gerry even made the finals of a Pioneer PTQ with his deck of choice! Plus, there's some general theory talk you absolutely can't miss.

About the "Mental Health with Noah Weil" episode:

From 1:07:30-1:13:30, Noah told a story involving a judge call, which wasn't an accurate representation. I believed him, likely because he used discriminatory language to describe the judge in question, such as "kid," "young," and "smug" which undermined his credibility.

The judge in question shared a thread about the ruling, which you should read:

Max makes two excellent points:

1. All judges earned their way onto these events because we know what we’re doing.

2. Delegitimizing the rulings of a judge because of their age, gender, race, disability, etc is USC-worthy itself.

I responded:

I've very sorry I allowed this to happen.

Big thanks for Max, Kevin, Nicholas, and everyone else who took the time to provide feedback.
