Cut the Maze. There's far too many Wastelands in the metagame to make it effective. It's at best a one turn fog with KotR.

THanks for the report and your candid thoughts regarding some of the cards we've discussed on this thread earlier. The point about stable mana hits home: being able to ramp asap with this deck is so...

I've probably played more matches with Maverick than all but a handful of pilots in europe. Feel free to ready pages 50-150 of this thread if you'd like context.

Not sure I would keep any SFM against storm. Too slow and prone to be snagged by discard. Also, as you keep harping "Mother of Runes fixes that problem". I don't see how Rending Volley is relevant in...

Is this a card that's played in Legacy?


Mother of Runes is not available in every game, nor may be alive in every game. The Swords are useful in that context to provide continuous protection in...

Thats not even true, but you can play the deck however you want. You even mentioned you board out batterskull in your event report. Maverick simply isnt a SFM deck; it's a deck using SFM.

There's probably pages of discussion regarding equipment types to run.

The first pair of equipment is always undisputed Jitte and SoFI. The last piece is hotly debated between SoLS and...

Zealous Persecution kills DnT's active Mother of Runes. This reason alone is sufficient for its inclusion in the sideboard.

Dawnstrider?
Spore Frog?

At least these are tutorable, even though they are more limited in scope than Orim's Chant.

The old maverick is a dud. The new Maverick will reign.

See my signature, unchanged.

I suspect this was a budget replacement for Noble Heirarch.

Depends on if there are any other creatures to pick off with ZP. I think SoFI is more than enough to handle TNN. My experience is that he only attacks when Jitte is active.

Would any of the walkers have been good in the same spot? Like Elspeth Knight-errant; Garruk; or Sorin Lord of Innistrad? Not making tokens limits...

It also fuels up fast SFM turns for 5W or 6W into equipped attacker.

Yea... Idk about that. Elves can get ya without trying hard.

Odd that a Legendary creature is good vs D&T. Seems like extraordinary circumstances to keep it in play against the 3 Karakas deck.

Seconded. If we need to go more mid-range than Stoneblade tactics are pretty good. It just really sucks vs Blue tempo :\

Are you really have issues with TNN? I always seem to race it just fine, unless I'm severely behind from heavy removal draws. Between SoFI and Mom, we can swing past TNN easily.

Sadly, the new Sigarda is short of turning the tide back to GW. Oh well...

It's not only the matter of 2 vs 3, but rather 1G (in a green deck) vs 1BB.

Similar to adding Painful Truths, we generally don't want spells in this deck if we can find an analog in a creature or land. Just because we can utilize 3 mana on turn 2 reliably does not imply we...

Because Thalia is one of the deck's core strategies. Play more Horizon Canopies first.

I have my reasons! (DRS does not have a promo printing...)

I'm thinking something along the lines of this old list: (needs some updating, but it's the idea)
