Oh yeah, forgot about that (been a while since I played against/with Shardless). It does slow it down a little though as they can't do anything before or after.

Living Wish for an Ethersworn Canonist is pretty strong (stops both the combo and cascading). They can certainly combo off before you can cast that, but in my albeit limited experience against a...
Sounds fine if all you're playing against is dredge.
Is that what you want against RUG, Reanimator, Past in Flames, and other decks that utilize the graveyard? Probably not.
Why include a...
Crop Rotation into Bajuka Bog. Also there's Faerie Macabre, or even Ravenous Trap. At any rate, nerfing your own fleet seems suboptimal, especially when those cards are useful against other decks...
Around 2:07:35 when your opponent Show and Tells and you bring in Harmonic Sliver, shouldn't the Sliver's ETB ability have triggered and forced you to target your Ethersworn Canonist? It wouldn't...
Also, I'm guessing, tutors?
As for removing Thalia, did I miss where people stopped playing combo?
Agreed... I've played with Ajani 3.0 a little bit in the deck and while he can blow out the opponent if you can jump and doublestrike a protected Knight, he is worse against Miracles than the other...
I agree with most of Jiozy's conclusions here, except that I still like Maze of Ith. Also, he mentions Lightning Greaves but then says Jitte is the only equipment you need (I agree with that, but why...
FWIW, my current SB tech against Miracles:
Krosan Grip
Gaddock Teeg (1 main, 1 SB)
Luminarch Ascension
Stony Silence
Choke
Armageddon
While we're at it, why not throw a Moat in there too?
I don't claim to be Maverick pro, so take my comments as you will...
Dryad Militant, Judges Familiar, these are garbage. They're not worth the creatures you've shaved to make room for them (Ooze,...
I'm planning on trying Aura Shards in place of a SB Harmonic Sliver (really only good against Cursed Totem, which only Merfolk seems to run these days), since it can play the odds vs CB, is...
Seems like the more of these higher cmc creatures you have, the more you want Gaea's Cradle.
Thalia still does work against Omniscience decks: she prevents the Petals storm win and slows down their filters (Ponder, Brainstorm, Preordain) so they can't go through them as fast. Maverick does...
In my albeit short experience with Maverick vs Show and Tell (specifically, Sneak Show), you don't need Spell Peirce, Thalia is the tits (no pun intended). Knight and/or Crop Rotation will bring it...
Uncounterability is nice, as is the two targets, but is it better/more versatile than Surgical Extraction? The former does little against Intuition plays.
Don't forget Ooze. (Or were you only referring to the SB?)
A couple of pages back, people were talking about Sigarda. If you're considering Sigarda mostly for the anti-sacrifice ability, there is Tajuru Preserver. Much smaller body, but much easier to...
