Not sure I like Maze right now. Almost would rather play Ghost Quarter and combat Eldrazi.Originally Posted by sanderanders
Is the general consensus that cradle is basically necessary at this point? I haven't gotten to play with a cradle yet but it seems nuts, especially with rogues passage or something
It looks like this is a 60 card list, in the maze spot I like a second library, Garruk or courser of kruphix
Cradle gives you some great turns. If you have a Thalia out and you play an equipment a lot of the time you will have enough mana out to cast the equipment, equip and attack. Also when you're playing against lands and they think they can lock you down with tabernacle, it negates the card. It's a must card for me😀
Also I have learned against lands not to waste your wastelands, save them to get damage through when they try to stop you with mazes.
thanks for the advice.
For my personale playstyle i think the Maze is a better match, because it does stuff no other card does in this deck and it is fetchable. It untaps attacking creatures with unblockable, flying or protection from colors or those who a just too big to handle for my blockers till i draw another Swords to Plowshares, but Maze also untaps my attacking creatures to save them if an oponents blocker flashes in or is being pumped up. Oh, did i mention the untap after damange trick with the Knight of the Reliquary? ;-) If it is a dead card i board it out the 2nd and 3rd match. I think i love Maze... ;-)
What i don't like about a second library is that it is a 2 of, not fetchable, so you cannot rely on it, you need to be lucky to draw it, but 2 in a hand is a dead card....so you have to be able to win without it either way.
Garruk just makes you more aggro, i think the deck it aggro enough like it is, with huge knights. But i see why it can be very good. 1 of so there can pass 10 games without him...
Courser doesn't work for me perosnaly, because it is a midgame card and by that time i don't need mana fixing and i like to keep the opponent in the dark about my hand. Card draw is nice though. I can see why you would play it.
I think depending on the meta game. I play courser in an environment where death and taxes, burn is popular. If miracles and bug are popular Garruk is good because it's a great threat that is hard for them to deal with.
Yes, i agree.
Now i need to figur out my sideboarding guide...any words of advice?
How's it going guys. Local BUG Delver player here looking for some advice on a new deck. I really want to play KoTR and I don't know if I should play Aggro Loam or Maverick. Could you guys sell me on why I should play this over Loam? My play style fits BUG Delver to the T but I really want to have a second deck to use against my friends that isn't "tier 1".

4-1 with this in a league tonight. Should of been 5-0 but played bad vs. Zoo, oh well stuff happens :) . It has a small green sun package with only 2 gsz's. I main decked thoughtseize to help vs. combo and I wanted it to have the rock/maverick feel to it. Let me know what you guys think. My wins were against lands, miracles, show and tell and cloudpost.
What matches are you unsure of?
I have both decks and have played with both in scg legacy classics. Aggro loam wins some games pretty easily but hasn't been very consistent to me. I seem to do a lot better when I'm playing maverick. I like both decks but I would say if you want a bit more consistency, maverick has been great and gives me good results, either deck though gets to play choke :) , which is great!
Mostly Eldrazi. I put in 2 Path to Exiles in my sideboard, but now i think about it, with the Chalice of the Void in the Eldrazi decks, 2 Dismembers is maybe the better choice as Eldrazi-hate, isn't it?
In lesser form i also think Combo decks or any deck with True Name Nemesis, or Elves are bad match ups for me.
Maybe decks like Dredge and Storm, and offcourse Miracles (but who isn't?)
I mostly lack a bit more experience of wich cards of my sideboard need to go in versus a certain matchup.

Thx all and my apologies for my terrible english
Better utility 1 drop green sun target, Granger Guildmage or Thornscape apprentice?
That's pretty meta dependent, right? Do you expect to see more Mentors/Pyromancers/Dark Confidants/Elves/D&T or more Reanimator/Sneak and Show/Dark Depths/Tarmogoyfs/Knights?
all good but i think i need to insert some red sources for abilities of granger and thornscape

Mentors ----> low
Pyro-----> low
confidat-----> some
elves----> some
d&t-----> so much
reanimator----> several
s&s-----> i dont think
DD-----> low
tarmo----> so much
knight----> low
I'm splashing red for a few terrible things already like a Huntmaster. I do like the thought of shoring up Reaniderp and DD matchs though.
5-0 in a league(the only one I used maverick in) and a 9th place finish a few weeks ago in the classic. What else do I need to do to convince myself to play it this weekend in the scg Classic?

What do you run banishing light for? Why not pithing needle?
