    Wouldn't mirran crusader be generally better than aven mindcensor in a list with 8 exalt creatures?

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    Holy light actually seems like a pretty decent card to fight TNN in the straight GW version. It is only marginally worse than zealous persecution and can also help in the (very difficult) elves MU....

    Now that is some sweet old school tech. Almost makes me want to go back to an enlightened tutor sideboard.

    Imo the most important thing to remember vs burn is to keep wasteland(s) untapped as soon as possible in the game, otherwise PoP can really fuck us over. In the same spirit, start by fetching some...

    Interesting, I remember playing a similar list a while back after survival got banned. Unfortunately I think the combo just isn't viable anymore with everyone and their mother playing surgical.

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Play MoR. It's one of the best cards in classic maverick lists, and it gets even better when you're running bob. I would probably go - 1 witness - 1 SFM - 1 vindicate (I agree the card is great here,...

    My bad, I somehow thought he meant fetching bog before combat damage to ensure qasali lives (which doesn't work, as I explained). Reading fail.

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Not gonna happen. Opponent's KotR will just look for a fetch and crack it after bog's trigger resolves, making it 4/4. Usually works if you attack with another KotR (or if you have ranger in play),...

    Edric is win-more. If you're connecting with 2+ creatures, you're already on your way to victory. I could see it work in a shell adapted to it with more creatures with evasion, but that deck wouldn't...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    If you're really worried about targeted removal (not just in the folk MU), play sylvan safekeeper as a x1, for 5 (1 + 4 GSZ) extra pseudo-mother.

    I have to agree with that. Cut whatever random shit you're using to fill your last slots (witness, thrun and the like are all pretty meh imo), and put a 2nd ooze. It's just that good. I probably...

    Seconded, although I would add a teeg MD before ranger (in place of the 4th stoneforge?).

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Storm combo players will usually (and should) side out their discard for some combination of bounce and removal, since they want to be able to deal with our bears.

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Yeah the return of storm combo is a much bigger worry for us than CB-top. There's not much to do about it unfortunately. I think maverick will take a big hit from the metagame shift.

    Birds is a decent tutor target vs hive mind. Not a winning strategy by any means, but it can steal a game if you have a good clock / some additional disruption besides it.
