It's also worth noting how noting your SFM often eats removal, that would be aimed at your KotR instead, and you still have a Jitte in your hand.

Did you not get to try him vs burn because you went for ooze instead, or because your opponent had Sulfuric Vortex on board?
Kind of unrelated, but I assume you met xxShockWavexx, right?
After game 1 I'm pretty sure the Pox player sides in Perish anyway.
Isn't Linvala too slow?
Quick note:
If burn keeps seeing more play and you are playing with tutor board like me, maybe we should consider Aegis of honor.
If we have tutor, we can play it on turn 2
Red does not...
Sure GSZ is good. But would any of you as a zoo pilot side in Teeg to stop GSZ from resolving, even if you were playing versus GW Mav without punishing fire??
Regarding first turn plays:
Especially since Mental Misstep was banned, it has become easier to cast Noble Hierarch turn 1. I most often fetch for forest, as the deck is not nearly as dependent on...
I for one have not seen calebs build before, but I admit veteran explorer usually needs to be exiled immediately.
Pumping with the Jitte would not have won him the game anyway.
It was a shame, that finally when a top player took the deck for a spin, he ran into a deck that is built to eat them alive.
I agree it came as a surprise how skill intensive this deck is, as we...
Haha, are you Joe on Channelfireball (See comment #2)?

I'm not sure with Batterskull but Purify the Grave is mostly vs reanimator. It also gets boarded in against dredge, but is not as strong there.
Blood Moon is good against 3 colored decks. BUG,...
Nitpicking here, but they can actually draw more than one. They just cant cast more than one.
Teeg is quite useless IMO. He only stops Replenish, GSZ and Sigil of the empty throne. By the time...
2/3 for W is good stats. Iknow it's a conditional bonus, but quite reliable.
Sure, but I feel this is one of those situational synergies that takes a lot of resources to obtain. how often have you REALLY felt the need to play mother of runes, GSZ -> one of the rangers and...
I see medvedev has achieved good results in recent DEs with a somewhat more pure Maverick build.
1 Arid Mesa
1 Dryad Arbor
1 Forest
3 Horizon Canopy
1 Karakas
1 Misty Rainforest
2 ...
I'm still not sure. Do you then go nuts with wasteland? Or is it just good to have more mana?
I see some lists with Life from the Loam in the sideboard. What decks do you board it in against?
Kyle Miller just finished 7th in SCG Richmond. They just wont accept it as Maverick, but call it G/W Aggro.
Yes. If it's game 1, you put knight of the reliquary into play instead, then fetch for karakas and bounce emrakul.
Against Reanimator, which has gained popularity recently, a tutored Ooze or tutored Bog from KotR is simply too slow. If Reanimator keeps gaining popularity I could see a reason for siding some...
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Dryad Arbor is accelerant with green sun's zenith on first turn. You can also fetch for arbor at end of opponents turn, equip and attack, which can be useful if opponent has a Jace out that keeps...
Thrun has most def been good. I have not tried Vengevine though, and I have a hard time imagining it being as good, as the recursion can be hard late game.
The problem is just, none of those guarantee a dead Jace if they resolve. And as it destroys a permanent, it very seldomly a dead card. You could even use it on your own permanent at opponents turn...
