Hey guys, I haven't played any mtg in the last 2 months and I'm preparing for a tourney that's in a few weeks. I have a few questions about the current state of Maverick:

Which singletons are...

The problem I found when I ran Cold-Eyed Selkie was that when I GSZ'ed for three, I would just go for KotR. I never really wanted Selkie instead of it. KotR gives you pseudo-CA, and isn't a 1/1 for...

But those two do have an impact in this matchup. Just get a Jitte/SoFaI (or even a Batterskull) as soon as you can and use your removal on their biggest threats. They can't counter everything. We...

If they Force whatever you search for, you actually get 2 for 2'd, but I see your point. But against some of these decks, resolving a Choke is almost an auto-win, so the E.Tutors might be worth it to...

Nice job! Did you ever want the 4th Mom or the 3rd Mindscensor? How was the Terravore and Thrun? I have a similar maindeck (although i haven't played magic since school started back up) but my SB is...

CorpT, what is the gameplan against Gobbos? Just SFM for a Jitte/SoFI as soon as possible? I haven't played it much since it was non-existent during the MM era.

I have not been running an E.Tutor...

You can discuss the x in GW/x is usually a very light blue splash, usually...

I am sorry that Mental Misstep got banned. You may want to look into grief counseling. That would be far more productive than going into threads of decks that you don't play telling them the deck...

Yes, a very a light blue splash (although quite rare) is the only real option that people have been using other than the traditional GW. We've all talked about splashing the other colors but I'm not...

Stony Silence/Null Rod are also good E.Tutor bullets against storm. But I wouldn't worry about storm too much (just yet). Give the format some time to react to the bannings before we speculate too...

Well there goes the question of whether or not we should be running Mental Misstep. Makes my decision a lot easier now...

What does everyone think of Terrravore lately? I don't feel like he is...

This matchup is extremely dependent on your opponent's starting hand, much more so than other matchups. We have many answers (Gaddock Teeg, StP, Mindscensor, outracing with Batterskull, etc.), but...

If you want more removal in the deck, then there are much better options. If you want more creatures in the deck, then there are much better options. I just don't see this guy fitting into this deck...

I like your list a lot, actually. I would cut one of the equipment (you don't need four) for a fourth Misstep. I personally would make some changes in your board, though. Dueling Grounds just seems...

Why add Tropical Island? He is not playing Rhox War Monk or Rafiq, the Trop would just be a wastable forest. Scryb Ranger, like previously stated, may not be needed since he is not running Mother of...

Regarding the quick Zoo matchup:
Get out Thrun. Seriously, they have no answers at all for him, or any creatures that size, especially with the newer small zoo lists that don't play Knights. If you...

Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing at work a few days ago. REB would be so nice in the board, and we could easily achieve this with only adding one dual. But I love Choke, and adding REB to...

@Asthereal: You sided out Library every time? Was there a reason for this?
Also, what do you not like about Ranger? She is just too good to not keep a single spot for her.
And I would definitely...

Like you said, Maverick is tough to hate against. We attack from so many angles and GSZ allows us to switch our gameplan at any time. But I agree that its rising popularity may not be such a good...

Hahaha, I saw a list called "Bant Stoneblade" somewhere and I was thinking, "Wait, this is Maverick..."

I don't know how narrow of a situation this is, but when testing against my main playtest...

Congrats to testing32, Maelig, and rukcus on your awesome finishes. @testing32, I'm still pissed that SCG won't call your deck Maverick. This deck gets no respect in the States...

Anyways, it...

I don't understand how people are coming to the assumption that Choke is not good enough. I can't count the number of games that my opponent just says "I don't have an answer to that" and scoops. The...

1.) Depends. Against NO Rug/ Zoo, wait to play KoTR after you have two lands in the GY to get it out of bolt range. Otherwise, a t2 Knight is really good. If you have SFM in hand, I usuallyu play it...

This is the common sideboard debate. Accept losses and make sure that your good matchups are even better, or try and cover everything.

You're right, there is little combo in my meta, except for...

I don't feel short on removal because I have Paths in the board and Ooze to deal with Goyfs. There aren't really too many creatures that I am afraid of, except for Proggy (which is why I am thinking...
