This Tuesday I played a pretty stock GW Maverick in a local. Just 10 people, nothing huge, but I took 1st with a record of 3-0-1. Played against Miracles R1, which I drew against, but I probably...
It seems like you're missing a bit of context, so allow me to help:
1.) It's being run as a 2-of by those who have them. No one has suggested more than 3 in the 75, and even then, only as a hedge...
If I seem to imply that, my apologies; but no, that's not my intent. I just remember when "strategic diversity" was what we laughed at Vintage players for talking up. No offense to them, of course.
I have a feeling that part of the problem is the number of people who started playing Legacy relatively recently. Their expectations for the format are vastly different from those of folks who've...
I don't know if that's a function of the MTGO meta bring inbred or the SoCal meta's hostility to Grixis Delver and Pile. The last Knightware Staples event was full of Red Prison and Lands, and most...
Ended up playing against Miracles and UW StoneBlade a truckload of times. Brightling felt great. It+Vial@3 was basically beatable. Shalai...less so. It was probably just a function of the match-up...
Knight is absolutely a lock piece. The default is Knight->chain Wastelands->kill once they can't deploy threats. That may play out differently depending on the board state, but frankly, Knight often...
All MB. Greedy for sure, but I'm curious. SB is same as Phil's.
Thanks. I'll be testing a list w/1 Cleric, 2 Brightling, 2 Shalai, 24th land later today. Will report back.
Maverick is as much an aggro deck as Death and Taxes: that is, not at all. Winning with creatures an aggro deck does not make.
Eldrazi Stompy is aggro, Merfolk is aggro, Burn (in its current...
Could I get an invite to said Discord channel?
I'm a big proponent of Cradle, and to a lesser extent Maze. Cradle lets you crack close games wide open, and doesn't take up as many slots as Stage+Depths (and is good off of a single KotR activation...
I played 2 PnK, can't remember what I cut to get there. Glad I did, though: the card is quite good.
I'm having trouble understanding the hate for Vivien Reid. It's pretty clearly a card that -could- fit in VetEx, Elves, maybe Maverick. She does things that Nissa can't do, like shooting problem...
Friend of mine Top 8'ed at yesterday's Knightware Staples tournament. He went 4-0 double ID and lost in the Quarterfinals to Lands in game 3. List can be found in the link below.

Went 4-2, beating Grixis Delver twice, Lands twice, and losing to ANT and Maverick, both of which went to 3 games and had tight finishes. Ended up getting 11th when prizes went down to 10th. :(

Thoughts on this list? S/O will be running it at an upcoming tournament.
Creatures:
4x True-Name Nemesis
1x Kopala, Warden of Waves
4x Master of the Pearl Trident
4x Lord of Atlantis
4x...
So I'm planning on running ZTurgeon's Karn list from a few pages back, with a slightly revised sideboard (as I'm expecting a fair amount of BR Reanimator). Currently, my sideboard stands at:
4...
So I'll definitely be playing this at an upcoming Duals tournament down south. There was quite a bit of Delver, Depths, and Reanimator last time. I'm debating between a stock list (no Furnaces, 2...
Maybe I'm playing this wrong, but I tend to keep hands that can play a lock piece turn 2, and those hands all lead on basic mountain.
"Not a specialized PW that address actual problems"
He's an easy to cast Walker that lets us dig for cards and close a game. That's better than the slot used on Hazoret (where mine goes) and...
My concern with Karn builds is the impact on Chrome Mox (And the manabases in general, with the addition of Great Furnace). Getting Wasted off red seems rough.
As far as I (and my friends, I checked) are aware, they're focusing more on GP's. I saw them at GP: Seattle and GP: Vegas before that, and they had a good selection and normal prices. Website does...
Could you clarify what you mean by that? Few of my friends know the Deals crew, so I can ask for you.
