    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I've seen a lot of players try Mirran Crusader this spring but for some reason it never seems to stay in the decks. Right now I think it's because arcanist and bolts in RUG Delver, being the...

    Maybe I was too categorical in my last post, trying to explain the perspective provided in an earlier post. If there's a lot of Lands and Turbo Depths in your area, maybe you can motivate one md or...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    The issue here is that what Tomik does, KotR already does, allthough that is a slight oversimplification. Tomik doesn't replace KotR. There are 4 GSZ to get extra KotR's, you already have plenty of...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    @Mr Safety: the easy answer is that if you could play 4 colors with P Fire then people would already do it. I've played it and seen others do it here but you get a less stable mana base and need to...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I've played a lot of Titania in Maverick in the past, funnily I always had the thought that Gaea's Cradle was what enabled playing it in the first place, making it relatively easy to curve out BoP,...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    Ive been using Bitterblossom in the sb for the past 3 years, sometimes, even maindecked occasionally, and I think it got better over the past 12 months. It's individual, I'd say, if it's played or...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    In my experience, Titania can make TNN look quite silly. So there is that too.



    Actually I've thought many times of how to make a low-CMC Nic Fit deck that has a sb-transformation plan into...

    I hear you've played against MOST, or so it seems, you'll find it in the new and developmental decks section.

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I've occasionally played one Mox Diamond in the sideboard to improve odds vs fast combo decks and I think it's fine. In the current meta I don't think it's at its best, Grixis Delver seems to be...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I agree with Lavafrogg, just want to add that Choke fits with the Maverick gameplan and has some synergy with Thalia, Wastelands and KotR's.

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I think I've been casting Titania reliably without Ramunap Excavator, but you are right, Excavator makes it easier to hit 5 mana in a game.

    I wouldn't say that Titania is overkill vs Grixis...

    So I didn't play Titania for a while, since I tested some different builds and didn't play that much Maverick lately. However, I've been playing Titania in Maverick about since she was released and I...

    Working towards the lock is one game plan. You need to work with what you draw, usually I think you try to pressure them by playing 1-2 threats and not overcommitting into Terminus. That's the first...
