    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    I'm pretty sure if the creature is already equipped when it gets Shroud it will keep the equipment. It just can't be equipped further. Shroud just protects it from being targeted, which isn't...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    Reading this the other day made me excited to play Maverick again. Previous attempts went too far into black and made me far too reliant on DRS, but this way looks fun!

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    The way the question was worded I was assuming budget was a consideration, since a Marsh Flats or a Swamp is much cheaper than another Bayou or Scrubland. Even still, I'd probably prefer an...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    9th fetch, or maybe even a shock land. I don't think I'd ever want basic swamp in this deck; the only source that taps for nothing but black I'd ever want is Bojuka Bog, which is because my meta has...

    I loved it against Eldrazi but that was about it. It was a sideboard card for me.

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    In that case I'd stick with a single Birds of Paradise. You still have Qasali Pridemage for exalted if you want it. The majority of the time you're going to GSZ you'll want a Deathrite Shaman...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    Basic swamp often feels bad, especially if it's in a non-DRS opening hand.

    If you want one more GB source try an Overgrown Tomb. If you only have one shockland in the deck to worry about it's...

    Re: [Deck] GW/x Maverick

    Don't you have a lot of Enchantress in your meta, though? I imagine it helps there too. With my local meta the Pridemage often does little but be an Exalted trigger.

    I'm looking forward to trying it as a 1-of, but I'm also not playing any THC. The fact that you can get it with GSZ is a huge plus.

    As for Wasteland, yes your Knights can fetch it, but you also...

    I doubled up on Teeg instead of 1 Teeg 1 Prelate, as Teeg seemed more versatile against an unknown meta and can be fetched with GSZ. I love Prelate in D&T though.
