    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I think the biggest advantage that cradle has is how explosive it can be in any stage of the game after the 1st turn. My favorite lines are playing a 1 drop turn 1 into another 1 drop + cradle + 2 or...

    Although not often played in maverick, i would be sure to address fatal push and collective brutality. Also an area where our equipment can act as removal.

    Re: [Primer] UWx Miracle Control

    Looks like Daniel Miller just missed out on top 8 with miracles. Anyone know if he posts on here or the list that he played?

    Re: [Primer] UWx Miracle Control

    Hello all,

    I'm fairly new to the deck, picked up miracles a few months ago when the portent versions were just starting to show up post top-ban. Now new-miracles seems to have changed quite a bit...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    I think it's pretty standard to run 3 black producing lands in lists that run abrupt decay (me), and 2 if you don't. This discussion is in reference to running main deck thoughtseize. Although I...

    Very true, shock lands are fine replacements for duals if budget is an issue.

    We aren't playing death's shadow are we? :really::really::really:

    I think the major thing that keeps me hesitant on sylvan safekeeper is saccing lands does bear a fairly big cost. If i'm a control deck and I'm sitting across from a sylvan safekeeper i'm likely...

    It's also worth noting that Reanimator, Delver and Death and Taxes are all favorable match-ups as is and don't need additional help.

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    I like your analysis, I agree with just about all of it, which is also why I'm not running either depths or a 5 drop currently. Meta just seems hostile to it. If the meta shifts I may try running a...

    Additionally I run cradle without a big 5 drop. I find that I rarely ever have 5 mana without a cradle, and the presence of a 5 drop seems really inconsistent. I rather just have the equipment which...

    How do you like the full play set of stoneforge mystics? I've at times thought about going up to 3 given the awesome card advantage they provide.

    I'm curious as to how you liked the mainboard abrupt decay. I assume these took the spots of expedition map? Also wondering just in general how you liked having less land tutors? I've played depths...

    I have to concur with TMagpie on this one. 2 four drops alongside 5 three drops with only 4 dorks is going to be too slow. Additionally only 1 wasteland? How do you beat a karakas when running 8...
