I split the Top 4 of a 43-player tournament (http://www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=15676) two weekends ago with a brew with Titania, Protector of Argoth. People wanted to hear about the deck, so I wrote an article on it, and it was posted today.

Straight from the underground volcano Legacy-brewing lair of the always-elusive ESG! Even Gerry T wants to learn your dark magicks (http://www.starcitygames.com/article/30088_Daily-Digest-Flower-Power.html).

Between Carpet of Flowers and Titania, which has been the more impactful card for you? They both seem pretty wild.

Jeremy, this article was absolute Junk. Abzan-lutely I disgree with all your points.

I don't have anymore puns. Good article is good.

Beautiful writing and an innovative deck. I hope to see more brews and more articles from you soon!

Nice article and list.

Coming from Lejay's Sylvan Plug list, I'd try out at least 2 Sylvan Libraries and at least 1 Courser of Kruphix (GSZ target). Both cards are good on their own and they're a powerful engine when combined.

Carpet of Flowers Maindeck might be an even more effective meta call than Choke maindeck.

Congratulations on doing well with a Maverick deck :tongue:

Did Natural Order do a lot during the tournament? You never mentioned it and it seems like a weak GSZ most of the time.
I had picked up a couple of copies to play around with so shall defiantly try out Titantia at this weeks FNM.

Good read, glad to see Titania getting some field time! I've definitely had a hunch that she's got what it takes.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll answer some Q's.

@[reptiLe]: Yep, Treasure Cruise is out, which probably means this deck will cease to be well-positioned. No worries: I have more decks in development.

@lyracian: Natural Order was good for me in the quarterfinals. I guess I was too subtle with my wording ("call up a Titania"). I was trying to use GSZ and Natural Order toward the same ends in the deck, but GSZ obviously has wider applications, so that's why I ran three of those. I would have run four, but I had trouble trimming down to 60 cards, and I actually played 61 cards in the event because I couldn't decide on what was the worst card (turns out it was Gaddock Teeg).

@Barook: I will definitely be messing around with Courser in Legacy in the future. Sylvan Library is a card I'm not as high on as most other people, except in a field with lots of Swords to Plowshares or Grove of the Burnwillows.

@danyul: Carpet of Flowers.
