Hi @Amace, thanks for doing this! I appreciate the time you took to draft those articles, they were a good read. Here are a few other single card discussion cards for future topics to consider:...
My list is near-identical, with only the following changes: I run 2 Bayou, for which you run 1 and then 1 Ghost Quarter (added); you run a 2nd Qasali and a Courser, for which I run a 4th DRS and 4th...
I think that is why you run it as a 1-of (at least that is what my initial testing will be). I don't think you necessarily want to see him in your opening hand on a regular or even semi-regular...
Not a problem! Glad I could offer my humble opinion. :)
I don't play Tireless Tracker or Lotus Cobra so I can't help you on that front. Lotus Cobra seems like a bad top-deck waiting to happen...
I personally don't like the concept of Vial because unlike DNT, this deck doesn't run a lot of ETB ability cards. I mean I suppose you somewhat get around that with EOT-into-my-turn Vial...
Hey all, unfortunately with the summer schedule being what it is I'm tight on time/availability for testing. Has anyone been able to playtest our Crucible friend, Ramunap Excavator? If so,...
Here's a super-quick list I threw together of core cards for a GWb Maverick list that is Mother-less (at least mainboard) and includes our new green Crucible friend:
Creatures (26)
4 Noble...
With GP Las Vegas in the books, where does everyone see the direction of Maverick going? GW? GWb? Punishing? Same general principles as before, or new meta shifts requiring adaptation?
While I am not a proponent of the idea, I find it interesting that around the time we are discussing Mom-less Maverick there is a 1st out of 61 showing with that kind of a list...
Re: weakness against Storm and boardwipes: yes, they are our most unfavorable MU. But consider what we have in our main to counteract these strategies:
4x DRS - locks out opposing DRS, clears cards...
Congrats on the nice finish. I agree that there has been an influx of potential cards recently - the ones you listed above came to mind for me as well. I have to admit that I haven't used Tireless...
Thoughts on the newly spoiled naga cleric, Ramunap Excavator? Seems like a potential 1-of GSZ target to Wasteland lock our opponents. :cool:
I'd be curious to hear if anyone has playtesting feedback re. #'s for the new Thalia vs. the old Thalia. So far a 3/3 split seemed decent. I might even do 3/2 (old/new) split. I've only played...
Got some playtesting in this weekend. Tried out GW and GWb variants.
-I missed having DRS in the straight GW build.
-Sylvan Safekeeper is a pretty nice card. Nice enough to consider it a main...
Skizz, your GW and GWb deck lists look extremely similar to what I've been envisioning. I will try to get in some playtesting this weekend and report in as well.
Thanks for sharing the podcast/YouTube link. Always fun to see some Maverick love and that Tom is still around. When it went out in fashion - after its dominance in, what, circa 2010-2012 - I...
Honestly, it is card disadvantage and worse than GSZ other than for fetching non-green creatures, which isn't that significant in our deck, therefore I don't see it being playable. The biggest...
Seems like the new Thalia has serious potential - playtesting required, of course. As previously pointed out, 2 cmc vs. 3 cmc does make a noticeable difference, however, with our stock 5 mana dork...
Good afternoon, everyone. Long time reader, first time poster on The Source. I post over at MTG Salvation under the same user name (TheoryCraft). I do not claim to be an MTG master, though I do...
