Agreed. While it doesn't have a spectacular matchup against combo, maverick has all the answers it needs in G/W (Dryad Militant/Scavening Ooze/Gaddock Teag/Ethersworn Cannonist/Aven Mindcensor..to...

I will be testing the deathrite as a 1 of (-1 noble heirarch for it). I like how it can be a noble (and reduce my opponents yard), it can be a pseudo grim lavamancer and a psuedo scavenging ooze. I...
Might I suggest Rhox War monk instead of Rafiq? I've found the lifelink to be really helpful in grindy games and the fact that he beats a threshed mongoose/ flipped delver and lives and often walls...
Um..actually Thalia is BRUTAL against RUG if you are on the play. Keep in mind their deck plays around 12-13 actual threats which they need to ride to victory and with only 17-18 lands that means she...
We also need to factor in the probability of getting it when you actually want it...if you put 1 in your deck..you won't likely get it in your opening 7 +2 (when you might actually want it) very...
That and Sword of Light and Shadow punishes them for countering creatures.
Perhaps you misread what I wrote. I am by no means claiming Linvala is bad nor that she doesn't belong in Maverick. My point is more a statistical one. As a 1 of in the deck that can't be tutored for...
I am curious about the 1 of Linvala, Keeper of Silence in the board. The issue I see is that there is NO way to fetch her up with this deck. To make matters worse, the deck she's best against (Elves)...
Your list is precisely why I run the Enlightened Tutor package in my sideboard. The only difficulty is determining how many Enlightened Tutors to run (currently I MD 2 and SB 1 though I will most...
Actually I haven't had much issue with Show and Tell at all. I will admit that hivemind can be an issue, but that's why you play 4 wastelands. There deck plays almost NO basics (and often skimps on...
Mindcensor is brutal against a LOT of the legacy mana bases. Thalia is a great card, but turn 2 Mindcensor in response to them cracking a fetch can often be game over.
I'll be honest and can't claim too much expertise with Maverick (though I have done VERY well in all tournaments I've played it in..just haven't gotten to play in a huge number of tournaments yet)....
