“My current favorite and, in my opinion, the most entertaining constructed MTG podcast available until Patrick Chapin's Toplevel podcast hopefully someday returns. Thanks Gerry!”Read full review »

“Dave’s great. Gifts rock was my first MTGO constructed deck. It was the most fun I have ever had playing magic. Love a good nerdy podcasts ran by adults.”

“Used to look forward to this podcast but every week is full of complaints about anything MtG related. From coverage, cost of the game, formats, direction of design, direction of competitive MtG, Hasbro, you name it, these two have something negative to say. I think I can count on one hand the...”Read full review »

“When the show is about Magic, you’re hearing great analysis from two seasoned veterans. Unfortunately a lot of the show lately has been simply complaining about stuff the hosts see on Twitter. I’m totally down for negativity about the game or WotC, but the negativity in this show is too often...”Read full review »

“As a MTG boomer of sorts (played in a Mirage prerelease) I liked these guys perspective. I relate a lot to their non-magic talk and really agree with their opinions and thoughts. But I’ve never been interested in competitive magic and when life got busy I moved on from paper magic about 5 years...”Read full review »

“I’m not an mtg arena ladder grinder or a tournament player. I’m just a guy who plays a handful of games each week either at FNM or arena. Still I listen consistently to Gerry and Bryan because they say more than “here are the decks I found online and why I hate/love them.” They talk about card...”Read full review »

“Way too much whining about “predatory” behavior on the part of wizards.
Complaining about the game that you have made a living off of is just pathetic. It is not predatory for a game company to sell things to willing consumers. People have agency. If they don’t like it, they don’t have to buy...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a listener for some time. Insights are solid, obviously insightful and informed...and the commentary is entertaining.

“Great content. Love the mindset.
But have to admit I have concerns that may be becoming less relevant.
The duo seems to be less relevant in the competitive scene. A lot of complaining vs seeing how the game and the competitive scene is moving forward.
Losing there edge????”

“I've got a lot of problems with the podcast and have stopped listening to it entirely. The main talent, Gerry T is a megalomaniac who is enabled by a cult of worshippers. His holier than thou personality really turns me off but other people I guess are really into it. The community around...”Read full review »

“Thanks a lot for your podcast that made my daily comutes much brighter ! :)

I believe these podcasts help me excel in my play group. Plus, I find it fun to find out how long into the cast...”Read full review »
