Pretty anecdotal, but at a recent 7 rounds tournament I only ever cast Leovold off of the trop.
I used to think I'd be fine without it, but after that I'm not so sure.

I played an almost identical list on the weekend (with voice and leo) at the Belgian Lecacy Cup.
Went 4-2-1 for a finish if 17th/74.
Overall pretty happy with the deck, Leovold is a really good...

That is a really traditional list! No need/want to play with new toys? --> Excavator mostly

Took punishing mav to a tournament for the first time, went 3-2-1 which after starting 2-0 was a bit disappointing, but considering one 4-2 made top8 I wasn't too far ;)
Overall 17th out of 43...

Thanks for all the info!
Been play testing a bit with a list minus dark depths, and the punishing fire engine is quite something when it gets online.
Suffering to back to basics/blood moon though...

Anyone have any insight on Punishing Maverick?
Been wanting to play it for a while because I like variety, and I now have the lands I need to play it when I'm not on trusty GW/b Maverick.

I've...

Played a bunch of practice games against the deck, and the above is very true.
I won a game with prelate on 1 prelate on 2 and teeg, and they couldn't cast any noncreature spells at all.

Also...

Just out of interest, why keep SFM in against storm? I usually cut them out because equipment does nothing turns 1-2-3, and I'd much rather be playing more hatebears/discard anyway.
And I play...

SOLAS was another great angle vs Miracles, (SOLAS + teeg = GG before mentor was a thing) since the ban it's come out of my sideboard.
With the new miracles on the rise, that is once again a lock,...

What's everyone's ratio of Zealous Persecution to Toxic Deluge in the sideboard?
I finally got around to getting a couple of TDs so now I have to figure out how to use them.
I've seen 2 ZP 1 TD,...

Yes, I think we never cut one for the other, finding the balance between the two is the key.

I quite liked the 2-2 split. When they're good, they're very good, and hitting them is a pretty big play, and when they're bad, they're pretty bad.
So game 2-3 on you should have the perfect number...

Sure:

// 60 Maindeck
// 2 Artifact
1 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Sword of Fire and Ice

// 27 Creature
4 Deathrite Shaman
4 Knight of the Reliquary

Just came back from a 25 player tournament with 2 prelates main, 2 side in a pretty standard GWb list.
Felt pretty good overall, although the meta was mostly creatures, so I only got to prelate for...

That makes sense.
How about using it to close out the game then? I'm thinking the titanias and sigardas of this world, that you don't particularly want to draw early, but would love late game.

I picked up a playset of Living Wish because it's cheap and seems fun, and I love trying new things with this deck.
Lands and creatures are what this deck does best so seems reasonable.
However we...

Zealous persecution! I've always run 2, and they've been great, hit TNN, pyromancers, early mongoose, elves, DnT, empty the warrens, etc.

Cool! Any chance for a list? Really keen to give it a fair shot. I was straight naya in the list I tried.

How do you feel about punishing? It was the original version of the deck that grabbed my attention, so I've always had a soft spot for it, but I've never really played it.
Tried it earlier this...

My mana base is almost identical, with - cavern, bayou for forest, swamp.
I run main deck abrupt decay though, so that's where the swamp comes in, means I can cast decays through a blood moon

I've been running 4 basics for a while now (2x forest, 1x plains, 1x swamp), and i've been very happy with that setup. Fetching one of each is easy enough and can cast the entire deck (barring...

It feels like if the meta does go towards DRS durdle fest then punishing fire is a viable option, although of course DRS exiles punishing fire, but it does mean 7-8 maindeck removal spells.

I'm thinking 2 in the sideboard at the moment, and you're right WW is a very real cost, the deck is much better at making GG than WW (at least in my configuration).
9 dorks (4 DRS, 1 Hierarch, 4 GSZ...

It's been interesting reading about people's thoughts about prelate.
Anyone running it just in the sideboard? In that annoying creature that's applicable to some matchups slot (e.g....

Went 2-2 on Friday night.
Beat Miracles and BUG control, then lost to Sneak and Show and Mono-red Sneak Attack.
Lessons learned:
- A well timed choke is back breaking vs Miracles, that's how I...
