    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    Some small suggestions for mainboard-sideboard:
    1) Deathrite is so good that I'd play 4 all day, he is just plain better in the majority of the cases than the bird. I can understand substituting...

    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...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    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....

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    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.

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    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...

    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?

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    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...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    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.

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    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...

    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.

    I find Maverick's ability to jam creatures from GSZ and by just drawing them the reason why we even exist.

    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...
