The vial build has never been popular during the last years. Can't tell about everyone, but I stopped playing maverick, when realised that I can't beat TNN, sometimes even with Marite Liege. At the...

I'd try 2 copies in SB + an E-tutor to raise the chance of playing it on t2.


The narrow application of Ascension is it's biggest problem, that's true. What I currently see in our local Russian...

Has anybody ever tested Luminarch Ascension in Maverick against Miracles? Thinking about picking up Maverick againg and looking for some new ways.
I only found some theory on it in this thread and...

Thanks for the detailed report. Too bad, you missed day 2 while struggling through some difficult matchups. There are no obvious decisions in this build and the more you play with the deck, the...

I left a small mystic package in my list basically for additional card advantage in control match ups and as a strategy against tribal decks. In these cases sword of fire and ice serves me in the...

Thanks everyone! As Fatal suggested I will use these questions as tips for my primer.


birds let block delvers and tombstalkers, also they deliver equipments past blockers. Sometimes it lets you...

Hello everyone. I just had great weekend in Milan. I played maverick at the legacy part of Ovinogeddon and went all the way to the finals, where I split the prizes with my friend.
The list is...

About the Jund and Miracles match ups: if we speak about g1, there are few cards which can help against both decks, among them I would recommend plainswalkers and stoneforge mystic + batterskull or...

tried it in both Dnt and Maverick. It was too conditional to be good.

Well, previously you were writing a lot about the GWb build and I'm asking you before you went too far into the 4-color depths =) The reason behind my question is based on my experience with the...

what about GWb maverick you are playing vs jund, team america and bug control match ups in comparison to GW zenith lists? Do you have live experience to make a comparison?

regarding the 4-color punishing maverick here with its awful manabase...
May be I'll sound silly, but why trying to invent bicycle, when Jund is just better?

after deathrite shaman got printed, the elsh norn-loyal retainers combo got much worse.

So why does no one play Dark depths+thespian's stage? There was such a big discussion and eventually...

That's why I run 2 Krosan Grip instead of useless Chokes.

no answers, a bad sign...

Since you heavily rely on combo, I suggest adding Sylvan Safekeeper. He protects Marite Liege faster than Mother and protects it from Karakas. Moreover you play GSZ and can find him when you need.

I played lightning greaves when fauna shaman + loyal retainers+ elesh norn package was popular. Indeed it had synergy with most of the deck, but it requires stoneforge mystic and a good reason to...

That's a rear thing, just because there's more card advantage in this build in comparison with the zenith build.

that's no good :frown:.
Could you please write your thoughts on how you came to this list and what meta were you preparing for? What was your plan vs Jund and how did you sideboard against it? Why...

Congratulations with the great finish! And thanks for signing the birds of paradice for me. Can't wait to receive it =)
And eagerly waiting for the report!

Good luck, Luis! Hope to read a report from you afterwards =)

It's nice to see you in top again, congrats! And I'm happy that you left the black splash and returned to the classic version, however with Thalias in the main =)
But nevertheless, beating Jund,...

than I'll be cheering for you =)

I don't like Thrun in maverick though. But I guess it's late to change something. At least you tested it and feel good.

I like that list. Few tweaks I'd make:
- gaea's cradle looks better than cavern with those oozes and equips, which you always want work earlier against jund
- thorn looks random in sb. I'd change...

Mirran Crusader is a good choice. I would run a minimum of 2 in the current metagame.
