[Deck] GW/x Maverick

[Fatal]

Looks like Luis had nice last two days: top5 on BoM VII Trial (420 ppl) http://www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=10818&iddeck=79011.
Interesting that both lists doesn't have single change :).

[allek]

Go Luis!
Hopefully you'll do well in the main event and get some coverage.

Good luck, Luis! Hope to read a report from you afterwards =)

Congrats on the Maverick success, I love the Vials & Revokers, it feels like it's pulling a bit out of Death & Taxes with that, & the Wayfarer tricks look like fun!

I dont understand how could he activate wayfarer when they were both on 3 lands?

Congrats to Luis =)

I like your list. But atm I prefer the blacksplash. It improves the Bad MUs like Miracle and the other MUs dont get bad.

My List Looks like this:

4 KotR
4 MoR
4 Deathrite Shaman
2 Scooze
1 Teeg
1 Scryb Ranger
2 SfM
2 Qasali

4 GSZ
4 Thoughtseize
3 StP
2 Abrupt Decay
1 Batterskull
1 Jitte
1 Sylvan Library

3 Savannah
2 Bayou
1 Scrubland
3 Wasteland
4 Windswept Heath
4 Verdant Catacombs
1 Dryad Arbor
1 Maze of Ith
1 Karakas
2 Horizon Canopy
1 Forest
1 Plains

SB:
2 Elspeth
3 ETutor
1 ORing
1 Ethersworn Canonist
1 Engineered Plague
1 Story Cycle
1 Phyrexian Revoker
1 Tormods Crypt
2 Abrupt Decay
1 Zuran Orb
1 SoFaF

In my test the Deck plays very good. I like the one Manaplaneswalker MoR and DS. There Nuts!
Sometimes i think to Swap the SFM and Batterskull against a 2nd Jitte and 2 Mirran Crusader, because they were in my GW build awesome. Also the Batterskull is difficult to hardcast, when the SfM gets bolted. Then i probably have to change Thoughtseize into IoK, because of the Lifeloss. What do you think about my idea?

The Sideboard change often, because i test a lot around, but if you have some tips, i would like to hear it =)

He stacked Horizon Canopy sac for draw then activated Wayfarer in response.

Gratz M@verick.

Are BoM final standings and top 8 decklists anywhere on the Internet?

So given Luis' success, what's the verdict here? Is Vial Maverick the best form of the deck? Or is this more a result of his skill and familiarity with the deck?

Exactly what I was thinking. Can somebody give some insight as to why Vial Maverick is better than GSZ Maverick in this meta? AFAIK, Vial makes our creatures un-counterable, and allows us to deploy them faster. However, it's a pretty bad top deck in the late game. GSZ let's us tutor for any creature the situation warrants, and is never a dead card no matter what stage the game is at.

Why is Vial Maverick that much better vs Miracle than GSZ Maverick?

Maybe it really is just Luis' play skill. Perhaps he'd perform even better playing GSZ Maverick?

[Koby]

Weathered Wayfarer is one hell of a card against fair decks.
Similary, the hatebears against combo.

So between Vial cheating those into play and not having to spend mana to deploy threats is great strategy.
