    Yeah, good job indeed ! It's about time to introduce Maverick to the American metagame.

    How did you loose against Canadian Threshold?
    I've been playing canadian for loooong time, and GW was, by far, my worst match up.

    Anyway, congrats for your top8 (:

    Congrats on your finish, dude! Too bad about that loss to Canadian since I always felt like that matchup is pretty good for us.

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Delver of secrets is a motherfucker. I lost game 3 like this: opening hand wasteland x2, maze of ith, karakas, cradle, sfm, and ooze. I think I drew Sofi in the middle too. On the deciding turn my board was scryb ranger, ooze, wastex2, cradle, savannah. I topdecked jitte and equiped vs fresh goyf and 2 delvers flipped. I was at 3 life.

    I think punishing fires mavs is better against can thresh than stock GW, but overall its weaker versus my metagame. Also might want a second scryb ranger.

    Group brainstorming: what are good ways to deal with flyers in maverick? (Delver, tombstalker, flying reanimator targets, serra avenger, clique, various faeries, etc)

    I think 1 Engineered Explosives might be useful, as well against Dredge too.

    The two easiest ways to deal with flying is putting a 2nd scryb ranger and to split the hierarch count with birds of paradise at 3/1 ratio.

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    Second Scryb could be fine? Play Mindcensors again, I guess?

    Heh, just brainstorming but a 1-of Thornweald Archer? That guy is hilarious against Tombstalkers.

  8. #988

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    The answers I can think of:

    Broad:
    Split with Birds and Hierarch
    Another Ranger
    Thornweald Archer

    Narrow:
    Corrosive Gale
    Plummet
    Leaf Arrow
    Raking Canopy
    Soaring Seacliff

    As an answer to annoying dudes I added a total of 4 Path to Exiles to my 75.
    During GP Amsterdam 7 seemed insufficient.
    What also helps is not forgetting to add Goyfs to your 75. At least one, but preferably two. They are better beaters than Delvers so you can win the race with them, and they are a lot easier to cast or Zenith up than Knights, which is important against Tempo Thresh.

    Re: [DTB] GW/x Maverick

    I top 16'd Jupiter Game's tournament with Maverick this past weekend with a similar list to rukcus (unfortunately I audibled to the deck the night before and my sideboard was terrible).

    This was the main I played:

    4 Windswept Heath
    2 Verdant Catacombs
    1 Misty Rainforest
    4 Savannah
    2 Horizon Canopy
    2 Forest
    1 Plains
    1 Karakas
    1 Maze of Ith
    1 Dryad Arbor
    4 Wasteland

    3 Noble Hierarch
    1 Bird of Paradise
    4 Mother of Runes
    4 Knight of the Reliquary
    3 Stoneforge Mystic
    2 Qasali Pridmage
    2 Scavaging Ooze
    1 Scryb Ranger
    1 Eternal Witness
    1 Terravore
    1 Thrun, the Last Troll

    1 Umezawa's Jitte
    1 Sword of Light and Shadow
    1 Sword of Feast and Famine

    4 Green Sun's Zenith
    4 Swords to Plowshares

    2 Sylvan Library
    1 Elspeth, Knight-Errant


    I lost two win-and-in rounds in a row , but I basically came to these same conclusions:

    Quote Originally Posted by rukcus View Post

    ...
    I also missed the threat Batterskull presents a little bit. Light and Shadow was pretty meh most of the day and will likely be cut or moved to the board. The one-of Elspeth was excellent, single-handedly winning at least four games throughout the tournament.

    Rounds went down like this:

    U/W Stoneforge w/Spellstutter - Win 2-0
    Deadguy - Win 2-0
    R/B Bob/Lilliana of the Veil - Win 2-1
    RUG Tempo - Lose 0-2
    FaeBlade - Win 2-0
    UR Delver Burn - Lose 0-2
    Reanimator - Lose 1-2

    I was in ninth and the Reanimator player was in tenth heading into the last round.

    Our match was a tight battle that left me wishing I had some Surgical's in my board as Bog and Ooze were too slow. A timely Angel of Despair on my Karakas lost me game 3 and ended my top 8 hopes.

    I'd probably be looking to play something like this next time:


    4 Windswept Heath
    2 Verdant Catacombs
    1 Misty Rainforest
    4 Savannah
    2 Horizon Canopy
    2 Forest
    1 Plains
    1 Karakas
    1 Maze of Ith
    1 Dryad Arbor
    4 Wasteland

    3 Noble Hierarch
    1 Bird of Paradise
    4 Mother of Runes
    4 Knight of the Reliquary
    4 Stoneforge Mystic
    1 Qasali Pridmage
    1 Scavaging Ooze
    2 Scryb Ranger
    1 Eternal Witness
    1 Terravore
    1 Thrun, the Last Troll

    1 Batterskull
    1 Umezawa's Jitte
    1 Sword of Feast and Famine

    4 Green Sun's Zenith
    4 Swords to Plowshares

    2 Sylvan Library
    1 Elspeth, Knight-Errant


    Sideboard:

    1 Sword of Fire and Ice
    1 Qasali Pridemage
    1 Gaddock Teeg
    2 Ethersworn Canonist
    2 Choke
    1 Bojuka Bog
    2 Surgical Extraction
    1 Tormod's Crypt
    1 Life from the Loam
    1 Thorn of Amethyst
    1 Stoney Silence
    1 Enlightened Tutor

    I think Ooze is just fine over Goyf though. Especially with the Snapcaster variants gaining popularity in the US, Ooze gets even better and beats Goyf (assuming you get to untap with it or cast it with some open G).

    just out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on playing baneslayer as a 1 of to fight of those flyers?

    As a 1-of nongreen creature seems unreliable. If going that route I think Mystic Enforcer would probably be better since you could at least tutor it against Tombstalker. Though I think just running more removal or Scrybs/Avens/Mirrans to carry equipment are both superior strategies to miser 4+cc guys.

    Having a 1-of in white isn't reliable enough to warrant a spot. You rarely sees a baneslayer angel flying the skies of legacy. Mostly because at five mana you should already be doing more broken things thay playing a baneslayer.

    Closer detail will be in the report later this week.

    Cheeers!
    Grats dude!

    Maverick is a really really strong deck. Too bad US metagames (namely SCG) all tend to have the same Top 8/16 players playing the same stupid blue-decks. Maverick crushes blue.
    Decks that I care about:
    Steel Stompy
    UWx Landstill
    Dreadstalker
    DDFT (10% practice)

    Mangara on MWS? You must be masochistic. -kiblast

    This is actually a good suggestion on the Daybreak Ranger, I only wish it cost 2 mana instead of 3.
