Oh for sure there are multiple use: I can't count how many times I've cast SFM + cast sofi + equiped it and swung all on the same turn. Or when I've emptied an opponent's graveyard constantly with scooze activation, not letting them delve anything. Having a big mana dump is just what pushes it over the top.
2-0’d Merfolk in my legacy league yesterday.
I am staying on Maverick for the forseable future.... I can’t handle the mana issues with Aggro Loam.
"eggs... why'd it have to be eggs"
I've been on the deck in some form or other for two years, have had reasonable success locally, and I still fuck up terrifically from time to time. It's unavoidable even with study and perfect practice. At least you can recognize your mistakes and learn from them.
Don't beat yourself up, mate, and keep playing fair. <3
Mom-mom had to die because of the ground chemicals. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=10272003
Although very narrow, it does look like a gem you got there
Can vouch for the effectiveness of Tower of the Magistrate. Used to play it a fair bit when D&T was more popular in my area. It does some serious work.
Question does anyone used Hazoret the Fervent in Punishing Maverick (probably on SB vs non-white decks) ?
I am playing against a 3 color DnT list this week. I think I am the aggro deck and just have to waste him off anything and kill him.
If I win this week I will be able to switch to a better list with a real sideboard!
"eggs... why'd it have to be eggs"
Three colour DnT sounds dubious. Wasteland seems like an all-star in the match-up for sure. Let us know how you go.
For sure yes, interesting how good it uses vial. From my experience if you run punishing version you can easily steamroll vial Maverick since it doesn't run GSZ so not enough thread density which mostly are X/1 like Scryb ranger wayfarer which are in multiple. Don't try to waste it under active vial on 2 or open two mana. IT also can't find fast answer to remove fired from gy like normally function gsz.
Second strategy is to punish him on greedy Mana base by fast blowing vial with Decay or grudge/Pridemage. It also soft to our equipments since it can't tutor Pridemage.
P.S any of 4 Mavericks which was playing in MKM Rome, are here. Would like to hear a report. Meta looks combo and tempo oriented - good for Maverick, but on the other hand combo was mostly present as Reanimator and S&T which is bad for us.
I am on straight GW and I have a pretty useless sideboard as I waited until the last minute to submit my list.
We play tomorrow and I will Post the results as soon as I can.
"eggs... why'd it have to be eggs"
Hi Fatal,
i played at MKM Rome and faced some friends of you. (i like your ideas with P.Fire List!)
i played GWb as usual and wanted to play a solid manabase (so no Blue for Leovold this time)

W Steel Stompy/Ravager Shops
Mainevent: 5:3 22nd out of 111
1.) Bye
2.) W Death and Taxes (mono white)
3.) W Dragon Stompy
4.) W Dredge
5.) L Miracles (Top8)
6.) L Czech Pile (Top8/Winner)
7.) L Elves
8.) W Grixis Delver
Deck felt strong but could not beat Miracles (Sylvan Safekeeper -> Sword/Snap-Sword and Councils Judgement for my Gaddock Teeg )
Czech Pile could assemble K.Command-Snapcaster-Strix-Train every game
Elves 2x Hardcast Behemot against turn 2 Teeg.
after round 4 the bad luck begins.. i just wanted to face Lands or even S&T - which are more in my favor than miracles/elves but nope not this time.
i also would like to know how the other pilots went and which list they played?
Beat BW, not 3 color, Death and Taxes 2-1.
Game 1: I got the early mother into stone forge into active equipment.
Game 2: See game one, but for him.
Game 3: Plains Mom for me, Karakas Mom for him, waste+swords put me ahead and after a few turns of equipment battles he was just never able to draw what he needed to pull ahead.
I loved the straight GW mainboard with DRS as I never had mana problems and was able to be aggressive. Felt very much like a mirror as he was never in a position to take advantage of his splash.
I am 4-2 heading into the last 2 weeks, I might be able to squeeze into the top 8 still.
Edit: I am also super excited because I get to play a real list and sideboard as opposed to a last minute list.

2x Zealous Persecution
Match 1 against Sam on G/W Maverick
Untapped with a Mom and 2x Kotr and eventually getting a jitte into play to just wipe his board. G2 he found triple STP in the top 8 cards of his deck which allowed him to stifle any form of mana development from my end. Eventually he equipped SoFI to a Scryb Ranger to beat me down. G3, Zealous Persecution wiped his Mom and Thalia while my KoTR found enough wastelands to hit all of his green sources.
(1-0) (2-1 in matches)
Match 2 against Tyler on U/W Stoneblade
Game 1, he ends up countering and killing most of my creatures while resolving a JTMS. Jace fateseals my outs away while I end up with close to 7 lands. Game 2, he ends up with 4 mana Gideon and 5 mana Gideon on the field against Knight, Mom, Dryad Arbor, Thalia, and Noble. I eventually find and resolve a SoFI to slap on my Arbor to eliminate both Gideons in one shot. End up going to 6 from Gid beats, but KoTR and SoFI seal the game against him before he could find anything relevant. Game 3, He ends up swordsing my DRS t1, and Snap+Swordsing my DRS t3. Lets me resolve a t3 choke which locked up enough lands for KoTR and Thalia to come down and win.
(2-0)(4-2 in matches)
Match 3 against Jeff on Grixis Delver
Game 1 ends up being a mana denial/who can stick their DRS game. I end up stifling his mana development to the point where I could resolve both KoTR and Leovold to prevent a good majority of his hand. In game 2, I end up on the back foot after his t1 DRS allows him to clear my mana dorks and Thalia. I scoop to the TNN and Delver on board. Game 3, I keep a spectacular hand where I can jam a mana dork t1 (gets bolted), resolve a Sylvan Library t2 (no daze), into double wasteland his two colored mana sources while playing another mana dork t3. Eventually he finds another colored mana source, but not after facing a KoTR, a Mom, and a Thalia. Jitte seals the match.
(3-0)(6-3 in matches)
Match 4 against Josh on Mono Red Stompy
In game 1, he ends up resolving both a Chandra and Koth against a Thalia with a Jitte and a big KoTR. He ends up slamming ensnaring bridge, but I manage to dig with a horizon canopy to try and find a GSZ. End up drawing it just in time to find QPM, which blows up the bridge, and Thalia+KoTR kill both of his Planeswalkers. Game 2, I end up stabilizing at 6 with a large Knight and a Thalia, but he ends up finding a Fiery Confluence off the top. Game 3, I mull to 5, get stuck on one land and die.
(3-1)(7-5 in matches)
Overall, I feel that this deck seems to just have much more game against the field than my previous deck (Nic Fit). I end up boarding out Marit Lage combo in the mirror and against Mono Red which feels correct, but it could be wrong. Also Zealous Persecution is an fantastic card, I would honestly want one more if Grixis Delver is super prevalent. I also think having two 4 mana walkers against control is a bit too much. I never did end up seeing either, but Thalia feels super strong against U/W, which ends up being a nonbo with expensive planeswalkers.
