StP doesn't hit Emrakul either...
I assume you mean Imperial Recruiter :)
I don't think it's that good in Maverick, especially cutting Thalia's for them. Part of the power of Thalia in Maverick is dropping her on T2 and...
Even G1, I think you're alright against Show & Tell. Thalia slows down their cantripping and bombs and the Omniscience kill. Simply holding a Knight in your hand makes it very difficult for them to...
Yeah in Maverick, the only time I like 1-ofs are with either lands (tutorable by Knight) or green creatures (tutorable by GSZ).
With no real library manipulation, you're not going to be able to...
Well done!
Can you elaborate on why you like Sigarda more than Thrun?
I know she's bigger and flies, but is harder to GSZ for, doesn't regenerate, and is much worse hardcasting when you draw...
Weird list. What place did it finish?
Dauntless Escort!
Waiting until you have 4 mana to play+equip Jitte is good against Goblins because it means you at least get to kill some of them if they happen to have Tuk Tuk Scrapper that turn. If they don't...
I like a lot of Jiaozy's analysis as well, but one thing is that without a tutor effect like SFM, having a singleton equipment like Lightning Greaves isn't really going to do much for you in the...
Big fan of Sylvan Library in Maverick (and in general). It's one of the best cards you can have against control since it's difficult for them to remove and you can usually just pay life for cards...
Wow that game 3 was just a travesty...
Dread of Night also doesn't deal with Teeg and Canonist on it's own?
What we really need is a Manland that has Hexproof or Shroud, heh.
Faerie is uncounterable and fetchable with Fauna Shaman. Also, you can recur it with SoLS.
Is Silence better than Chant? Since you'd be bringing in Chant against Storm decks anyways, you could conceivably draw it on a turn to stall a mass of angry goblins?
I also have never heard of Sulfur Elemental being run in the sideboard from Uw decks - that's more of a RUG thing.
Uw decks don't need situational small sweepers like that since they have access...
Scavenging Ooze is also pretty bad in the matchup, so if you need more cards to take out, those are what I usually hit next after StP.
Well the first cards you should be cutting against Miracles should be Swords to Plowshares and PtE (if you're playing a list that maindecks it).
Really depends on your list and how many cards...
Really? I don't usually find Teeg + SoLS that hard to set up especially when you have Moms/Karakas to protect him for awhile until you can get out the SoLS.
Plus, it's not like Miracles is going...
SoLS is pretty amazing against Miracles. Not only does it protect your guys from StP, but if you get it onto Teeg, they pretty much can't win the game without you walking Teeg into double Snapcaster...
Nice job!
How'd you beat Hive Mind that quickly? He go for Show & Tell into Emrakul and you had KoTR both times?
Also from the board, O-Ring is really good against Omniscience since it blanks everything they'd be dropping off of it (even if they drop Griselbrand, you're going to exile him and they drop...
I haven't been testing either.
I agree that Deathrite Shaman probably won't have much of a place in Maverick. We actually like having the Exalted on the Nobles to boost Thalia/Pridemages and as...
I actually like Grip against them because killing Top / Humility is so important. It also makes it more difficult for them to use Top/CB since they have to constantly float a 3 on top to deal with...
I'm much more interested in the Selesnya Charm for Maverick, myself.
