The more blue you add, the weaker you become to other blue decks, aggro decks, and mana disruption. Adding counters dilutes the GSZ toolbox or forces you to cut Mother or Stoneforge. I love Bant and...

I would have posted in the Bant thread if I had more than 4 MD blue cards or if splashing changed the deck's strategy. The Geist list I posted is closer to the spirit of G/W maverick than Punishing...
Anyone playing G/W/u with more than just 1 Tropical? I think Geist/Clique/Pierce are worth splashing for:
4 Noble
3 Mother
4 KOTR
3 Stoneforge
2 Vendilion Clique
1 Scryb
2 Geist of St. Traft...
On Batterskull: The problem of having protection for Mystic is simple to solve. If you have Mother/Safekeeper out, search for batterskull, if not, don't search for Batterskull. Batterskull crushes...
This is what I would do if you want to beat the UW 4xSTP,4xPTE,4xSnapcaster deck. Seems like those decks are lowering their Wasteland count, so you can afford to sac a land or two.
I'm considering Leyline because I'm worried about getting permanent hate or Zenith stripped from my hand by Duress/Seize in storm decks. It's also just another piece of hate that they have to remove....
Maverick had the best win% of any deck in Atlanta. 6 people played the deck. Nice.
I will leave Swords in for their confidants and for gaining life at instant speed if need be. This may be a mistake. Against Tide/Hive, they're out, obviously.
If I'm zenithing for cc=2, I'm not...
Against Combo:
+ 4 Leyline, +2 ET, +1 Canonist, +1 Rod, +1 Thorn
-1 Ooze, -3 Mystic, -4 Equipment, -1 Pridemage
4 Leyline
3 Enlightened Tutor
1 Ethersworn Canonist
How do you all feel about 4xLeyline of Sanctity in the SB? Can give us a turn 0/1 answer to storm, helps against all the Hymn/Seize decks that are going to pop up, gives one more hate card that tide...
Played in a small tournament today. Observations:
Mother of Runes can win games if she resolves and lives a turn. What more can you ask of a 1-drop. I like leading out with a Hierarch to eat...
If you had Mother out, you could protect your 1st knight and Zenith for a 2nd and have both of them protected. Seems good...
Giving up your Knight to Plowshares just because you can Zenith for...
