Changed my life!
This title isn’t a lie or clickbait, but simply the truth! I have been playing competitive Magic for years, but I had always struggled with not achieving the success I felt I deserved to see for all the time, money, and energy I was committing to the game. And because of this I viewed myself negatively in not just my Magic life but it was hurting my relationships with the people I loved the most. On an episode not too long ago Gerry and Brian decided to answer every question they received from their discord server. I asked a question along the lines of “how can I come to terms of not achieving the success I feel I deserve”. I wasn’t sure what answer I was going to get, but inside I was desperate for someone to alleviate the weight I was putting on my shoulders and all the anxiety and stress I was putting on myself. Brian and Gerry were very firm in their response and gave me quite the wake up call! They told me that “no one deserves success and there is never enough practice or learning to be done.” Long story short the GAM podcast completely changed my perspective not just on Magic but on life in general. I no longer put extra pressure on myself to succeed or be someone I’m not. Now I practice for every event with the goal to improve, instead of the pressure to win every match. Don’t get me wrong I still want to win, but this perspective shift has helped me focus on what truly matters to become a better Magic player; which is really the only goal I care about at the end of the day! And because of this mental shift I feel better about who I am as a person, my relationships with people and the game has improved tenfold! In the 4 months or so since that podcast I’ve made the top 8 of 3 out 4 local $1k tournaments that I have played and made day 2 of my first GP! Thank you Gerry and Brian for not only helping me grow as a Magic player but as a human being as well! ❤️

With the plethora of varied magic content players have access to it can be tough to find a “go to”resource for competitive play. The GAM podcast has been a pivotal aid in my own growth as a magic player throughout various formats. If you want to step up your game...this is for you.

This is my absolute favorite podcast for Mtg strategy content. Gerry and Bryan are incredibly insightful and eloquent, and I genuinely believe their words have a direct effect on the competitive metagame. A MUST listen for anyone who considers themselves a competitive mtg player.

really enjoy this insightful mtg strategy podcast - I even listen to the episodes on modern despite mainly playing modern since the strategy breakdowns are so insightful. A great place for measured, balanced takes - when Cedric Phillips isn’t on! :P
