    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    I don't think Judge's Familiar fits into what Maverick currently looks like as a deck.
    I see it fitting into what Maverick initially was, with no GSZ and Aether Vials. Morte's list seems to follow...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    If you are going to put in Judge's Familiar, I would suggest maxing out on Exalted.
    I think it becomes a lot more of an aggro deck, but would benefit from equipment to beef up the weenies. Also,...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    I tried 2 Forest, 2 Caverns, 1 Canopy, and a Cradle for awhile, but the cradle kept putting me in awkward positions. Cradle was really only good when I was already ahead, wheras the additional Forest...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    The manabase usually works out to:

    4x Savannah
    4x Windswept Heath
    4x Wasteland
    2x-3x Forest
    1x-2x Cavern of Souls
    1x-2x Misty Rainforest (or other green fetch)
    1x-2x Horizon Canopy
    1x Plains

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Good points. I definitely agree with RUG and Reanimator, he's a dead card. I find that I have the most difficulty with wrath effects though, whether it be Terminus or WoG, so he's been my crutch for...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    So is maindeck Gaddock Teeg no longer the standard? That's sad. Teeg does work in Maverick: shuts of Ad Nauseum, shuts off Wrath of God, shuts off JtMS, Tezzeret, and Elspeth, shuts off opposing...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    G1 versus elves you need to rush out a jitte and swords their engine pieces. If you run Linvala main deck, just rush one out through fauna shaman.
    Game two, I bring in Peacekeeper and Ethersworn...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    A very European list :)
    My first suggestion is to replace Birds with a 4th Hierarch. With Umezawa's Jitte as your only equipment, Birds swinging in requires it and Hierarch to actually do anything....

    I think that's what people don't get when they are skeptical of your list/running aether vial. Right now, the current trend is to run Canopy as a singleton, mostly as psuedo-Savannah #5, and a lot of...

    Thanks for posting that M@verick. It's nice to see other variations on the deck as well, don't mind the criticism.
    Have you tried Thalia in the maindeck, or does Revoker fill that role for you? I...

    M@verick, do you mind posting your current list? I would be interested in seeing how your deck has changed to reflect the meta.

    Yeah, I think you are spot on about Peacekeeper. I've tested a few hours, admittedly on the ol' Cockatrice, but after playing Sneak and Show a few times, Oblivion Ring was doing what I want Wave to...

    This is probably terrible, but while we are discussing BANT creatures, has anyone ever considered Stoic Angel? It certainly seems like it would be a must answer creature for swarm style decks.

    Great report Koopa.
    I'm starting to lose faith in the SFM package (and especially in Sword of Fire and Ice). Jitte is amazing versus most decks, but I find myself siding out 3x Stoneforge, 1x...

    The beauty is that it is protected by Mom. Mother of Runes + Elesh Norn, is pretty difficult for most decks to deal with.

    Does Fauna Shaman/Loyal Retainers/Elesh Norn seem good enough? I'm going to try it out, because it seems like it would stomp the mirror.
    T1 Mom
    T2 Fauna Shaman
    T3 Cradle/Retainers/Elesh Norn?...

    That's certainly reasonable. I do the 3/1 split too, but I'm definetly considering cutting it. To be honest, while the singleton Birds of Paradise can occasionally win games or chump dudes, the case...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    I would suggest upping your Noble Hierarch to 4x, and cutting your BoP by -1 if you are running Rhox, especially without a Tropical Island. Also, as you said, Rhox + Exalted = Good Times so you might...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    I agree with KotR being a huge part of the matchup, but it's hard to keep those Knights if they can pick off Mom with P-Fire and save STP for Knight.
    I have found it to be a rough matchup so far,...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    QFT.
    The hardest matchup, outside of combo, from a GW Maverick standpoint, is a P-Fire Maverick deck. Even sticking a Mom isn't enough to save you, and you just can't compete with their removal.
