I always play quite a number of dudes in the board anyway, but we play so many guys that even when going down a few we should still profit from Oath of Nissa.

Sylvan indeed is still great. I'd definitely recommend playing at least one in the 75. Maybe if you run a large number of Oaths, the Sylvan should be in the board, but 2x Oath + 1x Sylvan seems like...

This also counts for Green Sun's Zenith, yet Zenith has been the core of this deck for a long time.

Besides, Oath can be cast on turn one, curving nicely into Thalia (or any other hate bear you...

Worried about Jund? I believe Sigarda is rather hard for them to handle. :wink:

(PS. I actually play Sigarda over the Stage/Depths combo because it improves more troublesome matchups.)

True on all accounts. In a very Delver-heavy meta, I would definitely consider goimng back to playing one Scryb Ranger.
My list right now contains one Birds of Paradise that could block a Delver and...

Especially for Red decks, which is the most important point.
Red is good at killing artifacts, but has no way at all to kill enchantments.
This, plus the fact that Warmth is actually the more...

I tried Wing Shards in the board in a tourney once, and it sucked big time.
I had expected a lot from it then, but it just turned out to be a misjudgement from my part.
Main reason: You never ever...

+1.

Against fair decks, I like Sylvan Library better. It's not as vulnerable and the card draw is epic.
Against TES, the Spirit doesn't do much, because TES is way too fast to have issues with a...

Apology accepted. :smile: Let's forget about all our posts so far and start over.

I didn't mean to imply that you don't participate in competitive tournaments. I don't know where you play, but...

One competitive deck plays one Progenitus on side, and you feel insulted when I mention that you shouldn't run into Progenitus normally. I argue that I don't think that this one deck should board the...

And you're having difficulties grasping the concept of being nice to another person.
I'm going to stop discussing with you because every word you spit out is an insult.

Maybe I should play Maverick again, you mean. I played a lot of Mav, but right now I feel Team America seems a lot better placed in the meta. Made it to the finals last month in a GP Trial, so I'm...

@Il_casual: If you play GW Mav, you can only encounter Progenitus against Elves, IF they board it in.
I feel they shouldn't board it in against GW Mav, because Hoof is usually better, and you have...

I'm more concerned with the TNN hate (Golgari Charm, Zealous Persecution).
Artifact hate is fine. It'll leave me a Squire up. And I board Witness against those decks usually, so I can retrieve lost...

Discussing GW here. Not that I'd ever consider playing that combo in a Gwb shell though. Straining the mana base waaay too much for my taste. :wink:

@Arsenal: in certain metas Maze can be awesome,...

Dark Depths doesn't, so in that case, yes it is exactly the same as a fatty in hand with no S&T. And Stage doesn't tap for G or W, so it can stop you from playing Magic.

Main deck. This card is...

Unless your Knight doesn't stick and you are stuck with one part of the combo.
Or they Waste in response to the trigger.
Or they Karakas/Jace bounce the Marit Lage.
I could go on.

Yes...

@Vandalize: I also still run a GW list, pretty standard stuff like you. No stupid Stage/Depths stuff.
My sideboard is way different though, but I'm pretty sure mine isn't optimal. My list:

1...

In your meta you really want the full set of Mother of Runes. :wink:

Cannot agree that GSZ has bad synergy with Teeg.
GSZ actually allows us to play main deck Teeg.
Without GSZ, we need like 2-3 Teeg main deck to consistently have it when needed.
Thalia does have...

Scapeshift into Stage & Depths is kill in three turns. That's just as fast (or slow) as Natural Order into Progenitus, but you save yourself having to sac a green guy.
But... it's vulnerable to...

I'd recommend changing the Maze for the Cradle, moving the Maze to the sideboard (or just plainly cutting it). I feel that Maze is sometimes really good, but often unnecessary. It also messes up our...

I've cut the Fauna Shaman for this exact reason.
The process of getting what you need is often just too slow, and gets interrupted somewhere along the way.

BUG Tempo and Midrange seem like pretty fine matchups.
No auto-win, but we have a decent game with the Punishing Fire and the Knights.
I especially like Elspeth against the slower BUG lists....

It makes you vulnerable to 2-for-1's from your opponent.
It isn't a threat in itself.
It's purely aggro where Maverick usually needs the option to play the controllish role.
I think Rancor doesn't...
