I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking about the future metagame now that DRS (and probe) is banned. These are my brief initial thoughts:

I like your list. I agree with your thoughts regarding main deck decay, Excavator, and Leo. Since Tracker isn't a hate bear I'm personally not a fan of Tireless Tracker any more since running Leovold...
Has anyone tested new Karn in the SB against Miracles / Pile?
DNT - this is a pretty favorable matchup. I'd want removal (Decay is good, ZP is excellent), as well as a Needle as it has plenty of targets. Containment Priest is decent but not great to sometimes...
It has applications beyond just locking an opponent out of the game with Wasteland. I've extended games I otherwise would have lost by infinitely recurring Dryad Arbor to chump block a Gurmag Angler...
I love Library too. It's not as good as it used to be, though, with all the 4c Pile / Goodstuff decks running around as Leovold shuts down Library. Have always wondered about running a second (1 MD /...
I agree with this in general. I think Maverick actually would benefit slightly from a ban. Knight, Wasteland, Excavator, Ooze, Rallier all get much better in this scenario. Thalia also gets somewhat...
I used to love Sidarga but just feels bad right now with so many Baleful Strix running around.
I like Ant Queen way more than Tendershoot Dryad as at least it's a 5/5. If I'm going to run a 5-drop against decks like Pile I want something that's going to provide some value if it immediately...
Was wondering this myself. It's a really powerful effect but I'm honestly not sure what I would cut for a second copy. I know some people are down on Stoneforge right now, but I like having two in...
This is my list for SCG Worcester:
Creatures (24)
4 DRS
1 Noble Hierarch
3 Mother of Runes
4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
2 Stoneforge Mystic
1 Gaddock Teeg
Hey guys, I was one of the Maverick players making day 2 at Worcester. You might have seen me getting a game loss handed to me by the judges on the stream in a match I would have won. I was...
I see that most lists these days run 2-3x Surgical Extraction in the sideboard.
Aside from obvious matchups where one would side them in (Dredge, Reanimator, Lands), where else do folks bring...
Thanks! This is very helpful.
As a long time GWb player, I have a hard time giving up thoughtseize. I really dislike not having potential turn 1 interaction against fast combo. i want to make it...
Hey guys. Was hoping I could get some feedback on my new Punishing Maverick list.
Lands (24)
4 Windswept Heath
3 Wooded Foothills
3 Grove of the Burnwillows
3 Wasteland
2 Savannah
1 Taiga...
Question for all the Punishing players in the room.
I see that most lists don't play Thalia in the main, and some don't even run her in the SB. How do you deal with combo (particularly storm and...
I dislike any sideboard without at least one Canonist. It has applications beyond just Storm. It's a key card vs Elves, Sneak and Show, Aluren, Food Chain among others.
I think having a glut of 3 CMC creatures is a fair criticism of those cards. I just found myself often wanting more powerful effects in the deck without having to go up to 4 or 5 CMC.
Regarding...
I think Rallier has earned a spot in my list. It has uses in just about any matchup, whereas I just seem to never want to draw QPM unless I'm facing D&T or Stoneblade (or something weird like...
Yesterday I made top 4 of the TJ Collectibles Titanium Series legacy event. It was a relatively small turnout with 57 players but had a diverse field with some good players.
My list:
2 Bayou...
Interesting take. But if I wanted a 4cc beater, I'd go with Thrun over the Chameleon Colossus.
While the colossus is an interesting idea, Thrun doesn't need Cavern to be uncounterable and is...
Like you, I've been questioning Sanctum Prelate lately. It seems so good on paper but tends to be underwhelming in reality. It's occasionally great against a few decks (ANT, Lands, occasionally...
I will occasionally run a singleton Blessed Alliance. Great vs Burn, but also decent against Delver, TNN decks, and even has applications vs Lands (kills pesky Marit Lage), Reanimator, and Sneak and...
Magus of the crucible. Wow. I like it.
That is pretty interesting indeed. Especially in a world full of Fatal Push. Personally would love to see some Sanctum Prelates in a list like this instead of the Mindcensors, but pretty sweet list.
