@Xod: I think it's being discussed here too:
http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...1895-(Big)-Zoo
i like your idea of a zooish maverick!
ajani and huntmaster are cool cards and give you the power for mid/late game.
but i think they are often too expensive to cast - maybe add a gaeas cradle?
or you could try to do a 1/1 split of ajani and chandra ToD ?
what i would change here is to swap swords to plowshares with path to exile.
or instead of bolts add punishing fire engine
I found the old land discussion now, here are some links (for Magnaguard100, myself and anyone else interested). It's a shame we don't have a way to keep separate discussion threads within a deck's main thread. Maybe we could add page numbers for certain topics to the primer so people can find where discussions are being made instead of starting from zero every time. Searching for a card name results in too many hits.
We were discussing utility lands in January:
http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...l=1#post986461
And in early June Cradle vs Depths was discussed, I'll link my comment here but there is more discussion above it on the same page:
http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...=1#post1011433
I think an important thing to consider, when discussing Cradle vs Depths, is that you are actually comparing Cradle vs Depths + Stage, i.e. one card vs two cards. A more relevant comparison, or at least an easier comparison to make, is between Cradle with a 5-drop and Depths with Stage.
Edit: Ramunap Excavator probably changes the discussion a little bit.
We have 6 dorks (and rallier), GSZ to dorks, so it should be quite possible. Also, don't own a cradle. But might think about it.
I think dat Ajani will be more of a controlling role (keeping creatures/lands tapped), also the double red is not very appealing.
That's a good suggestion, against decks with to many basics, it diludes the LD plan. On the other hand, if they are fetching their basics to be save from wasteland, PtE will have no drawback. So good suggestion!
Again, don't own the PFire engine, and I prefere to use bolts than to go all out midrangy. Still want to keep the Zoo profile :-)
The only things I'm doubting about are to include in the main:
- SFM package, sounds good, but takes to much spots + I prefer Huntmaster :-) but can be good with rallier
- Snake Crucible Guy: going to test him in the side for the grindy games, maybe replace Tireless Tracker with him, but he's also a guy for grindy matchups
- Sylvan Library: with all the fetches + knights, this should be great, but what to cut?
the other addition is the Renegade Rallier, should always be able to create value. But against GY-hate/DRS decks, it might lose value. Another reason not to include crucible snake man main, to not overextend the GY reliance.
I think the main targets for Rallier will be:
- the 2/3 deathtouch guy (if rallier is active, so is the other renegade)
- QPM: reusability
- Wasteland
- Fetches or destroyed lands
- Hierarch: almost the same as an extra mana + exhalted
Of course, against a STP deck, this guy will lose a lot of targets. So that's why I only include 2.
I'm really am surprised how good your guy's mana runs. I have 22 mana producing lands, 1 Dryad Arbor, 4 GSZ, 4 DRS, 1 Birds of Paradise and I can't afford to run more than four 3drops in the maindeck of my maverick lists.
Wroking on new version of Maverick, which will be reworked for today meta. It will have a lot of changes even in core, but the goals will remain the same - midrange, fair, creature toolbox deck which can be tune up for personal preferences and meta. I will also sum up last years of Maverick history. When I finish testing will post list and test results (from tournaments), after that Primer will be updated. Probably totally new thread since this one gets little too long, +400 pages in 6 years is a lot !
- Thank You ALL for feedback and great discussion !
Stay tuned.
They're all SNEK to me Are mermaids womans?
That seems adequate as the deckbuilding options have changed quite a lot and, since we just had a big meta change, it's unlikely there would be such a good opportunity to restart in the near future.
I would like to make new Primer more structural then any other, since we have a lot of material (history, tested cards, a lot of discussion) I propose module build, and each module will have separate autor, which will write and update his part so we will have up-to-date Primer, I don't have so many time to write everything properly alone, which would be high quality.
Let me introduce proposition of ToC:
Code:1. Introduction: - Goals - Genesis - Overlay history - Why would you play Maverick - Modules (space and balance between core/other packages) 2.Modules in Build 2.1. Core (I will admin this part): Mana dorks, Knights, GSZ, difference between mana dorks types, possible splashes how to get proper set, what changes in core and how to get proper line of play with GSZ. 2.2 Silverbullets - all utility creatures which are 1-of (looking for volunteer): Each utility create have their aim vs proper situation or deck 2.3 Stoneforge Mystic package (looking for volunteer): a lot of discussion was about swords, skull and jitte, which on which meta/decks how many SFM to each equip set 2.4 Removal in splashes and pure GW (Megadeus): not easy topic specially nowadays when TNN, Chalice of the Void decks, and flipped cards have cost, how to deal with Infect or Mentors 2.5. Utility lands and manabase (looking for volunteer): In context of new cards like Ramunap and meta 2.6. Card Advantage and late game cards (I will admin this part since I think I found good solutions, anyway - in new topic every comment will be wanted) 2.7. Protection creatures (I will admin this part also). 3. Matchup changes good and bad side of deck in today Meta (will describe it) 4. Sideboard (for each splash separate) Each section need for tools describe on each deck in today meta and example sideboard. 4.1 GW Pure Maverick - (looking for volunteer) 4.2 GWb Dark Maverick (will take it) 4.3 GWr Punishing Maverick - ( menloe, Meritt ) 5. Bad cards already tested in Maverick which doesn't fit.

Much needed, nice initiative Fatal! I'd love to help out, still I need to focus on work for the next 7-8 weeks. I'll try to write a bit on the lands area if I find time, since I was just discussing it recently anyway. But feel free anyone who can make a more active effort to do so.
When you say "GW Maverick" are you talking specifically about Noble based Maverick focused on using exalted triggers to gain edges in tempo and combat? (These often used 2-3 Pridemages to pump up the exalted counts)
Or do you mean something different?
Went 3 wins and a draw with the list I posted on the previous page, replacing the STP's with path to exiles.
Won against TES, Goblins and White Eldrazi. Drew against Miracles.
Random question. If we were to run a mainboard planeswalker/ 5 drop. What would people recommend? Sigarda, garruk relentless, or elspeth knight errant? This is assuming you are running cradle. Which would you pick and why?
I'd run sigarda main, garruk on the side and swap as necessary for the matchups where the other is relevant.
