I'm happy to roll with Knights again.
I'd previously been a big advocate for Aether Vial over GSZ, primarily because of its better Miracles matchup, but I think GSZ may be the way going forward.

Vial Maverick is picking up steam. I am so happy right now! :laugh:

I would hedge halfway between each. I definitely like Teeg, Choke, and Decay, and I usually like two copies of Surgical Extraction, depending on factors such as how many Snapcasters they run and how...
Cradle was an important part of the really old versions of Vial Maverick that were built around synergies involving Weathered Wayfarer and Knight of the Reliquary. You don't have GSZ as a mana sink,...
Hell yeah!
Have you found TNN to be an issue, considering you're a bit light on answers?
I would love more people to pick up the deck. I would speculate far fewer people are playing Vial Maverick than are playing either DNT or GSZ Maverick, but I think the conversion rate for the former...
Has anyone tried brewing a Vial Maverick list with Recruiter of the Guard?
Hello!
I'm a long time lurker, second time poster in this thread. I've been playing competitive legacy since -07 and mostly play fair, non-
blue decks like zoo, nic fit & the rock and have been...
Are you the player that finished top 4 at the Washington, DC Premier IQ? I had previously played a Vial Maverick list similar to what M@verick was running (with Weathered Wayfarer), but there are a...
List seems awesome. If you've seen my previous posts, you'd know I'm a fan of the Aether Vials, and Living Wish seems like incredible gas in this deck. I would love to hear a report from this player.
Deed is very good against Miracles, but there is no way in hell I'm running that in a Maverick deck.
But I already run three!
Well done, sir!
Knight is a card I would love to fit back in the deck: it's my favorite creature of all time. I don't think the list I played was anything close to optimized, so if anyone has a list they're...
Here's the list I played. I don't think it's anywhere near optimized yet, so if anyone wants to try this out, feel free to share your experiences and suggestions!

Hey, I didn't recognize you as being from the Source, although I think I remember you observing my opponent from behind in that match. I should probably note that this strategy is more similar to...
Decided to pilot Vial Maverick on Sunday after a mediocre record in the Legacy portion of the Invitational, finished 3rd out of 222 in the Premier IQ. Beat Miracles (2-1), Merfolk (2-0), UR Delver...
In addition to everything named, Zealous Persecution is a huge beating for that deck.
Luis Viciano's top 8 I'm aware of is actually a second place finish in a 13-player tournament, so the performance itself isn't particularly impressive, but I think there's something to the deck.
...
For those of you (looking at you, Warden) who run the Dark Depths package, would you want to keep a Scryb Ranger in your toolbox? Being able to use Knight to make a Marit Lage in a single turn seems...
Congrats on an excellent performance, Warden! I've always thought Knight of the Reliquary strategies were way too underrepresented.
I am really upset just reading about what happened to you in G1....
Elspeth is my favorite planeswalker, but they're pretty close in general. I prefer Elspeth in G/W Maverick and Garruk in versions that splash, since 2WW is much harder to cast than 3G.
Against a...
I assume you're pretty happy with the newest list?
Congrats!
Yes, please.
As for questions, how did the Stoneforge package treat you (as opposed to just cutting them and running two Jittes)? That seemed a bit surprising to me.
Did you ever wish you fit...
Immediately after GSZ got printed, some SCG grinders made a G/W "Green and Taxes" deck that evolved from Death and Taxes and obviously bears some similarity to Vial Maverick. A few weeks later,...
