I can understand your astonishment - this is Most! A very wierd deck, it seems to make no sense on paper. I think it's played only in Italy and only by very few people, if not just by its creator,...

Congratulations door, I’m really happy you did great with Vial Maverick + DD combo, my favorite deck!
Your rework of the list is extremely interesting, love your land toolbox. Only question, why two...

It’s a huge change. Sylvan Safekeeper is very important for the synergies of the deck. He grants that you can always activate Weathered Wayfarers and you should work fine with few lands thanks to...

Vial version - Pros:


Greater card advantage than GSZ build (Wayfarer, SFM, stronger equipment plan)
Faster (Vial, lower curve, more tutors for Cradle)
More resilient to counters (Vial)
...

I totally agree with you.

Vial list has lower color requirements than GSZ build and doesn’t want to draw lands when it has an active Weathered Wayfarer. Also in my testing I had no issues with the...

Your analysis is entirely correct. That’s why I think the combo should be just a B plan. On the other hand, top tiers have answers against everything (or are just faster than you if they succeed with...

I wouldn't play Life from the Loam maindeck in this build since it plays Weathered Wayfarer that has a similar effect, outside recovering the combo from Wastelands, Stifle or removal of the token,...

I get your point. Let’s say there are three main approaches to Dark Depths+Thespian’s Stage:

Dedicated deck – see Dark Depths thread in N&D;
Existing deck strongly tweaked to abuse the combo as...

GSZ is useful to find Teeg when needed, of course, but Teeg HAS bad synergy with GSZ: once you have Teeg in play your following GSZ are totally dead, unless you can bounce him with Karakas... AND the...

@Asthereal: I said “GSZ has bad synergy with Thalia and Teeg too”, I didn’t say that it works as badly as Scapeshift/Natural Order with Teeg and Thalia. You can’t play GSZ with Teeg in play as you...

True, but it has potential as a sideboard card. Miracle has a slow game anyway, Jund/TA/BUG have no answer to the token outside a providential Wasteland draw when your Stage is tapped. I think it's...

Nice idea from the Dark Depths thread: Scapeshift, one card combo! With Thespian’s Stage and Dark Depths it’s a sort of Natural Order not even requiring the green critter.

It could be a strong B...

What do you mean Megadeus? Is there an errata? Please share.

Anyway, I think the best suit for the combo is the Wayfarer/Vial version. I’m testing M@verick BoM list -1 Horizon Canopy -1 Caver of...

+1

Generally speaking, this combo reminds me of Iona + Loyal Retainers in old good GW Survival. 2 slots, gamebreaking tech. Why not...

(2 slots considering Wayfarer list)

M@verick’s (Luis Viciano’s) list is extremely solid, don’t underestimate it just because of the lack of the conventional GSZ build. Luis is one of the strongest Maverick player of Europe, in the last...

M@verick’s list could add the combo with a minimal impact: it already plays a lot of land tutoring in the form of Weathered Wayfarer and Knight of the Reliquary. Something like:

1 Thespian's Stage...

You are the flagship of the Maverick thread :cool:

I wasn't playing this deck for a while but you gave me the charge again, thanx Luis!

Well done Luis!

LCL 2013 - Abril

The idea of the Rishadan Ports is interesting, but I fear 9 colorless lands are too many for Maverick, even in a vial builds. I wouldn’t change the mana base so much personally, M@verick’s one is...

With your list you could cut one of the 2 Jitte, since you’re adding 2 SFM, and a Silvan Library or another Pridemage for the last slot. It’s a shame to cut a Thalia btw, if your goal is to improve...

I’m playing M@verick’s Vial list since a while and I like it a lot. Judge’s Familiar seems very interesting in this build. The list is SFM based and already replaces Hierarch with BoP to maximize the...

The idea of a Maverick hybridized with Bant for adding the non-counter blue bombs deserves consideration. You're basically trading the robustness of the manabase for card quality and versatility.
...

REB is great. Yesterday I sided in REB in 5/8 of the matches, and lost only to blue – this has no statistical significance ofc, but they say blue rules everywhere… Yes, probably I’ll try to increase...

I’m just back home after a 126 players tournament in Legnano. First of all, thanks everybody for the feedbacks on my sideboard plan, your help has been precious.

For today, I was expecting a lot...

I’m preparing for a big tournament and I’d like a review of my sideboard matrix.

This is my updated list:

4 Windswepth Heat
2 Wooded Foothills
1 Arid Mesa
1 Horizon Canopy
2 Savannah
