    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    I have only played a little bit of Maverick lately, so read my comment with that in mind.

    I believe Choke has gotten a lot better since a) Grixis Decks including Czech Pile became one of the top...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    @Fatal: I wouldn't bother with the Taiga for Ancient Grudges if I were you, I always felt that one of the advantages of Maverick was always having access to artifact removal thanks to 4 GSZ + 1-2...

    Yes, I've been fidgetting with Flusterstorm and Trap too, and Back to Basics, but I need to try again, never felt that I made a good list. Seems like being able to add such powerful cards should be a...

    It's definitely hard to justify a fourth color, but he's not just a value card, he's also a [edit: assymetrical] Chains of Mephistofeles that Mother protects and with a relevant-sized body. I still...

    @Magnaguard: cutting a Bayou seems ok, you have no black cards in your maindeck. [edit: or maybe 12 green sources excluding Arbor is a bit low, anyone else has an opinion?] Two black duals have been...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    I see. Well I don't expect it to be great all the time so if it's sometimes 10/10 that would mean it has the high ceiling one could hope for.

    And, based on your recent question, it seems as if you...

    Ghost Quartering someone is not to be considered a main strategy of the deck. Rather see it as low-investment inevitability in a few match ups (coupled with Excavator and maybe Mother) and Wasteland...

    @Stuart: lots of possible cuts. Thalia HC is constantly debated so she seems like the first option to cut. On the other hand she's probably good with Excavator, making repeated Wastelands for fetches...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    The white versions of Nic Fit usually run some amount of StP's or Path to Exiles so you need Mother, which kind of plays into Deed/Deluge. But perhaps it still gives you decent chances (or even great...

    Yes, it may be too slow. I was thinking that if they stumble, they only have like six basics so after three turns of ghost quartering they are down to three remaining basics. Perhaps you've been able...

    @Stuart & Megadeus: Regarding the Nic Fit matchup, you may consider bringing in Leyline of the Void if it's in your sideboard. It stops Veteran Explorer frim triggering and prevents much of Cabal...

    I find it very hard to say whether we under- or overvalue it. Wizards seem to have identified the 3-drop as a weak segment and are releasing great card after great card. Recent additions for us, of...

    I've added Containment Priest myself recently, and cut back on Needles from 2 to 1. Not sure if that's right, but Priest is good vs Elves, Through the Breach, Show and Tell and Reanimator. With SDT...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    I think running Cradle -with- a 5-drop can be compared to running Stage with Depths:
    - The Depths is dead without a Stage in play, similarly the 5-drop is dead without 5 mana.
    - Depths can be...

    And the GSZ-ability, 1 Gaddock is easier to find than 4 Prelates.

    Edit: Which DoomRabbit just said. Having some consistency in finding Gaddock is very important.
