Who said anything about dodging miracles or about maverick being a dead deck?
The topic was incidental hate and not sacrificing slots in your sideboard specifically for one matchup.

Agree entirely. There's enough incidental hate for miracles that you don't need to pack narrow stuff.

Cradle was good at progressing the same plan - quicker zeniths, quicker weapons, easier wasteland-ing. Dark Depths is a different angle, but usually requires you to be established with an active...

In the meantime here's a text version of what Jon posted. I'll let him update this after the GPT with his sideboard and stuff (you can quote this and cut away the excess to get the bbcode if you...

Congratulations on the success this weekend. Quick question on your sideboard though, what swaps do you make for the Delver/Pyromancer matchups? You seem to have a small mountain of applicable cards...

Compiling them here for easier access.

Keep us posted, looks like a pretty stable list.

I like Bojuka Bog in the sideboard only if you have to worry about Dredge in your area. Otherwise I like Rest in Peace, Surgical Extraction, or something else if you're worried about Reanimator or...

I used to play it in a small Enlightened Tutor package and it often felt slow and narrow. If you didn't resolve it on turn two then it often took far too long to get online and it's really only...

I'd been playing Junk for a few weeks and last Saturday decided to try straight GW again. That went alright (3-1), but I wanted to try messing with it a bit. I had this together for a Wednesday...

I would rather play Elspeth, Knight-Errant, Garruk Wildspeaker, Garruk Relentless, or Garruk, Primal Hunter (in no particular order) before the new Nissa. I think each is more powerful as a...

I've been of a similar opinion regarding Council's Judgement. The card has been fine as a 1-of in a straight GW build as a 5th removal spell, but I'd rather be playing Abrupt Decay in that slot if I...

It'll depend on how much black you're running really. It sounds like you're doing 3 Thoughtseize, but the next question would be how many Abrupt Decays between the main and side. Dark Confidants? etc...

Yeah I was surprised to see 4 Pridemage, 0 Decay.
I don't disagree though when he has access to 6 Swords to Plowshares; Abrupt Decay is often just another Swords to Plowshares.
Pridemage is...

Interesting pair of decks from those two SCG IQs. One in favor of Dark Confidant and 3 GSZ while the other tacks on a Maelstrom Pulse and opts for the fourth Knight of the Reliquary. It's foreign to...

Played another event with the list found here.

Round 1 Bye
Round 2 v Merfolk with Standstill and sideboard Spreading Seas (2-0)
Round 3 v Megadeus on BW Deadguy Ale (2-0)
Round 4 v RUG Delver...

The suggestion was Tyrio's. I was looking for another equipment to improve the True-Name matchups, but didn't want another Sword of X/Y because they don't win you the race while you're getting chump...

Played the local Wednesday night legacy event yesterday, 17 players, 4 rounds + a top 8.

I wasn't anticipating to have time to play legacy this week, so I lent out some black duals to a buddy. As...

Pretty underwhelming weekend at SCG Nashville for GWb Maverick and I.

4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Thoughtseize
4 Green Sun's Zenith
2 Abrupt Decay
1 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Sword of Fire and Ice

Sure, there are situations where it is very useful. My primary point though was that his deck was set up to have draws that ignore Zealous Persecution, and it felt like I would only be bringing it to...

Played in a very small local event last night with no real valuable information coming from it.
Dark Maverick - same build I've been running. List Here
This is a bit of worthless information.
...

5-2-1 drop at GP Washington DC. Lost to ANT and RUG Delver, drew against UWb Stoneblade w/ Truename. I'll post a short report later.
Zealous Persecution was fine in the sideboard all day....

I've been playing 3/1 for a while, but I played 4 Moms a few weeks ago, then switched back. I like having Safekeeper as a GSZ target because I find that I often just need a turn or two of protection...

I could get behind cutting the Decay and the Sword - both seem like reasonable excludes once I have access to Persecution.
I'm trying to figure out just how exactly my board shapes up in most of...

This is what I'm currently at for the GP in DC this coming weekend.
Currently I'm debating if I want a fifth mana guy in the mainboard, if I want a fourth discard spell, and if I want to find space...
