    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    I moved from DnT to Maverick and initially had Council's Judgment in my DnT then Maverick sideboard. As a DnT player I wanted Judgment to answer TNN/Jitte and occasionally Liliana of the Veil. With...

    Any thoughts on this guy?

    Clearly he dies to Bolt/Decay, but he seems like he demands an answer against opposing fair strategies. ...

    Agreed, if they have Misdirection in the main, it means they are trading their two worst Blue cards for our Thoughtseize and our worst non-land card in hand. It is tempo and depending on the hand...

    Scryb Ranger is a boss against combat damage abilities (Batterskull's Lifelink, any dork wearing an Umezawa's Jitte). Block with a Dryad Arbor, bounce it before damage; double Mother of Runes...

    The BGx Decks (Deathrite, Hymn to Torach, Abrupt Decay) decks have really turned me off of playing Death and Taxes and Vial Maverick. I've played similar strategies for several years, but find...

    I agree with Koby that Thornscape Apprentice is probably stronger It's GSZenithable, comes online 1-2 turns earlier, can be used to answer Delver of Secrets and force Mother of Runes to tap, opening...

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    I wouldn't bother with Choke versus Sneak and Show. Choke shines against grindy decks that are more reliant on recurring use of their Islands (CBT, UW/Esper Blade, UW Miracles, etc). Sneak and Show...

    We have no discard or permission. Sneak & Show tends to board out Intuition in the match up, so often the only way win cons are hitting the yard is after they've done their damage - ie....

    I think Linvala is more valuable than a Path to Exile in the mirror. Path to Exile obviously has much wider application though. Also, I could agree with taking out Thalia against RUG if you expect...

    I agree. I'm running 2 Wave and a Ring sb, with 1 Karakas main 1 board, and the Fauna Shaman + Revoker/Metamorph package. I feel like I have plenty of game against Sneak & Show.

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Linvala seems good as a 1-of against the mirror. I don't think her being unfetchable is that relevant. She's proactive and pretty bomby, so I think it's fine to rip in an opening 7 or in top-deck...

    I like Mother of Runes as a 4-of, it holds it's value pretty well for a 1 drop. Being able to protect hate bears makes them substantially more reliable. I like that it has application against most...

    I like that Enlightened Tutor gives you a lot of flexability, but if one knows their meta for a regular event I could see a non-ETutor board being able to be better tailored to expected matches.

    To serve what purpose? It can pull up double Mother of Runes (or Noble), but for 4 mana that seems unexciting. The only way to really widen Ranger of Eos' utility would be to include more diverse 1...
