I'd say start with a standard list that plays Jitte, Scryb Ranger, Karakas and maybe Cradle. Then add Sisay, Linvala and Sigarda in the flex slots where people play Library or Elspeth and see how it...

Of course, she. The no activation cost part is nice, like a GSZable Planeswalker after one untap. KotR is similar in that way but he doesn't actually draw cards and Sigarda, Jitte, Karakas and Teeg...

Thought of him today, too, after reading about Moggcatcher in Dragon Stompy, but didn't really consider. But I think you are right. He sounds pretty good to me.

@Ecstatic_Conch: On top of this page I posted a list with a black splash for Thoughtseize, Deathrite Shaman and Abrupt Decay. I have made a few more games and a couple of changes. I think it is very...

The transitions are smooth but I would say this is still rather Maverick than The Rock. Most current Rock decks play ~16-18 creatures including 4 Tarmogoyf and 4 Bob, this has 26 (counting GSZ)...

I think that playing Thoughtseizes MD could be what Maverick needs to get back in shape. The list that I will post is not enough tested yet, but I have made a couple of games and whenever I have...

I think DR Shaman is clearly the way to go for Maverick so I am glad some players pick up on it.

Maybe a split is right between Swords and Decay. Decay has impressed me quite a lot. For example...

- I'd play 4 DR Shaman and 3-4 Decays. Not cut much, just replace Swords with Decay and Hierarch with DR Shaman.

- I don't think you'd ever use Swords against Bloodbraid Elf. " And it certainly...

I think a B splash is the way to go

- Deathrite Shaman is better than Noble Hierarch. Far better. Exalted is nice, but Shaman is nuts.

- Abrupt Decay is better than Swords to Plowshares. It is...

This seems like a good GSZ target. Very cheap and as soon as you untap...

Imo it is not about synergy but about card quality. Glowrider is just too bad while Mindcensor is at the edge of being good enough so some play him and others don't. Wizards probably won't print a...

Yes, that works. With Qasali in play, Wave in hand and 5 Mana available u can Wrath them. Exile all their creatures, respond with destroying Wave. This comes up not that often because it requires a...

You have to be precise about Wave. Qasali Pridemage should not only be one of your targets, he should be the last target that you target before passing priority.

For example if your opponent has a...

We already had the same discussion about Mother of Runes on page 3 of this thread and I am still convinced that MoR is a 4-off and that playing any other number is wrong.

Clearly Mental Missteps for curve reasons. Either 4 Missteps or 3 Missteps and 1 Witness if you don't play her yet. Scryb Ranger loses a lot of his power without Mother of Runes to combo.

I promise I am not trolling but if you ask like this ... Thorn of Amethyst?

It is not borderline playable. It is good. And not only vs. Hive Mind but vs. every non-elf combo deck.

First of all: none of that explains why you have the 2 Ethersworn Canonist in the Sideboard and the tutors to search for them. They also come down on turn 2 like Thorn but then... they do nothing....

All these combos involve Ancient Tomb plus the 3 fitting Combo cards. That is why I said ~never.

If blue would be better then why do you suggest Canonist, Angels Grace and E Tutor? That makes no sense at all.

Also Painter and Hive Mind ~never kill on turn 2 so your Thorn will land.

How is Thorn not fast enough to disrupt them? They can almost never kill on turn 2 and from then on they need 5 Mana to Combo so it buys quite lot of time, especially with Wastelands and because it...

yadda yadda Thorn of Amethyst yadda

First of all: how many games did you lose to mana problems? I always play 22 Mana lands and 20 is very little. With only 12 ways to produce G on turn 1 you will already be forced to Mulligan 20% of...

What do you think about this guy?
