I actually like your list a lot, will probably give it a try at our local FNM this week. Only one thing: is containment priest (I assume that this one is for Sneak Attack) really worth turning off...
Maze takes up a spell slot. Cabal Pit takes a land slot. So you should replace a land that produces mana. And Cabal Pit's threshold requirement is way too hard for Maverick to even consider it, imho....
Technically, DD doesn't disrupt the manabase since it takes a spell slot, but Thespian Stage makes the manabase worse indeed.
Grixis Delver: not really, with Cabal Therapy and tokens they can give us a bad day. And in sb they have some nukes, which doesn't help either.
UWx: nowadays there is a new trend to play with Thing...
Hi all,
I've been thinking why does Maverick go down in rankings on mtgtop8.com and found out that this is very possible due to combo & heavy CA control decks rising.
Therefore, I've decided to...
What's so good about TD in sb? I understand that in matches where it shines we side out thalias, but I really don't want to lose my moms, even against Elves...
Hi!
1) Why Crop Rotation mainboard, without the combo? Pre-board it doesn't help you neither vs Storm or Reanimator. Imo, put it in sb or remove.
2) If you are willing to commit so many slots in...
From your report, it doesn't seem that depths were doing whole a lot [emoji14] Also, was Maze that useful outside of the Infect matchup?
There is really nothing to discuss just yet, the list is way too slow.
You run 1x Teeg and 1x Thalia and (unless naturally drawn) you can play them as early as turn 3.
Maverick runs 3-4 Thalias...
I don't think that anybody here argues that Recruiter is bad, not at all.
The issue with Recruiter is that while we are trying to make our deck faster, he is slow.
He is rather bad vs combo decks...
Which cards do you find mvp in the Stoneblade matchup? I found that 4x fishes in one deck can give quite a headache.
Therefore, interesting question: what do you think of good old engineered...
I've been playing Vial Maverick before the top banning with some relative success. I found Recruiter to be too slow to be played, but Tireless Trackers work wonderfully: they can e.g. be vialed in a...
Junk comes to Legacy from a different perspective than Maverick. As Junk, you are trying to quickly outvalue other players (Tarmogoyf, Hymn etc). Maverick has a completely different strategy: we...
I see, Decays are pretty useful, agreed. And sometimes (e.g. mirror, D&T) there is just no good number for Prelate to name that doesn't affect you too.
What about the sideboard ones, were they as...
Congrats! Could you share your list please? :)
Show and Tell
Elves
Grixis Delver
Death/Stoneblade Variants
BR Reanimator
Shardless Bug
Storm
Death and Taxes
Sigarda is sometimes nice early game as it can be put into play from Show&Tell and block Emrakul (especially cool if he comes from a Sneak Attack) and buy you some time.
Abovementioned Fauna Shaman...
I find Maverick's ability to jam creatures from GSZ and by just drawing them the reason why we even exist.
Upsides of Living Wish:
- Finding the right creature/land to answer the board state
...
Congrats on the good result!
I double lavafrogg's comment: how did the companies do?
Also, do you think that Sword of L&S and second Teeg are really required since the Miracles are gone?
Is just...
On the topic of cutting black.
Think of this: D&T, Elves, Aluren and TNN are on the rise. What does it mean for us?
It means that all -1/-1 effects, which many people have been cutting, are...
Oh my God oh my God oh my God (gets zeniths outta dusty box, dancing and whistling).
Good job! Although I think all 3 matchups you faced are favorable for Maverick :)
There have been some successful builds with 3 Thalia + 3 Pushfires. Yes, it might sound completely counter-intuitive, and like hurting yourself, but it actually still works. You just don't play...
I have no idea, but I think he is referring to https://mtgmaverick.wordpress.com/.
