But when you play cards from another zone besides your hand you can basically think of it like drawing 1 extra card per turn.

Also, if the plan becomes more ghost quarter centric, I could see...

Hey guys.

I wanted to post my list and sideboarding tips for anyone interested in Maverick'ing for the gp.

4 Deathrite Shaman
1 Noble Hierarch
1 Dryad Arbor
4 Mother of Runes
4 Thalia,...

Yes, I have considered this. I will try to test it in the coming weeks. For now I think I am going to try to find the best build of Recruiterless Vial for the current metagame.

Finished my league with maverick:

I then played another league without recording it, because...

Eh, not really, but I think fast decks will keep Leovold in check. Leovold decks lack enough meaningful interaction to consistently beat strong ANT/Sneak and Show/Elves players. I'd love to be proven...

Hey guys, concluded my Punishing Maverick league:

And started a league with a standard GWb Zenith list.

Punishing Maverick deck tech and first 2 matches.

I will try to finish the league tomorrow.

Hey guys,

I ran vial mav through a league this morning, and I recorded videos.

I forgot how hard it is to record...

Here is my Punishing Fire list:

3 Deathrite Shaman
1 Noble Hierarch
1 Birds of Paradise
1 Dryad Arbor
4 Mother of Runes
4 Knight of the Reliquary
3 Stoneforge Mystic
2 Qasali Pridemage

The issue with this deck was more he had so many 2 for 1s that I just got ground out. It didn't really matter what he won with, he went swords snapcaster too many times. Post board he pyroclasmed me...

League 1:

Sneak and show: 2-0
Storm: 2-1
BRgw Zombardment: 0-2
Bant/b: 2-1
Burn: 1-2

League 2

I have taken gsz build into two leagues, one 3-2s and 1 0-3 (weird matchups).

I think vial may still be worth it.

My favorite way to go over the top of BUG decks is Stage/Depths.

Perhaps Lightning Greaves could be effective as a way to protect Knight for a couple turns while he sets up the combo then give...

This is likely the correct play, even though it goes against my main philosophy of finishing them off as quickly as possible. It is overall less risky and that probably makes it a winning line.

I had to bounce the Savannah to untap mom to protect Phyrexian Revoker from Izzet Staticaster. I had actually played that Savannah in 1st Main phase because I had to use mom 2 times previous turn.

You know how to lose with this board state? Choosing white with Mother of Runes.

I chose white. Then I attack and he flashes in Izzet Staticaster. When I untap...

Option 1 sounds good aspsnake, though I might cut a DRS instead of Scryb, Scryb is good when they have a Jace to bounce your guys.

As for Eldrazi, it is very play/draw dependant. Starting off with...

I have been enjoying Vial for these same reasons. GSZ is awesome and I love it, but GSZ version was having too much trouble with Miracles and Delver decks.

So elves is catching on in a big way...

Yeah, maybe I won't cut the prelates. I have been finding them weak lately, but then again maybe they are doing more work than I think.

If you want to play this without wastelands, try building a...

Love the list @aspsnake

I have been coming to similar conclusions about Recruiter. I tried him today and went 4-1, losing only to Burn (1-2), but beating Elves, Painter, Miracles, and BUG Aether...

I have actually thought about running Birds of Paradise just so I never have to worry about shutting off my own mana dork with revoker.

The main reason is that we already have so many dead cards against combo. The more removal you put into your maindeck, the weaker you become vs combo decks. Of course, to some people, this is...

I actually lost to Eldrazi yesterday in a quite embarrassing fashion XD

I played Knight and Wasted him every turn, but I was on the draw and he was able to get up to enough mana to cast an...

Started playing again. Went 3-2 in a league with my vial list.

UB Pox: 1-2
BUG Delver w/Fatal Push & TNN: 2-1
Grixis Delver: 0-2
BURG Midrange w/ TNN & Fatal Push: 2-1
BUG Delver w/Fatal Push...

So I have been at odds with Sylvan Library since Leovold became a thing. I think now it is actually worth considering running Mirri's Guile in it's place. The main thing that I would use library for...
