Has anybody who runs Cradle tested Titania, Protector of Argoth yet? I'm currently testing Lejay's Sylvan Plug build and the card is the real deal.
I can see applications for this card in Maverick as well, considering we run KotR (and maybe Sylvan Safekeeper) to abuse her even more.
thought about it, but she seems expensive to run. at that point, I think Sigarda would be better. But that's relative, I don't play Sigarda either.Quote:

I'm still debating to see if I need a big guy. So far, i'm opting for thrun because he seems to pulls his weight better in the current meta, but Sigarda is definitely an option too, along with wilt-leaf. then again, i'm also debating sword of war and peace like in last week end's green and taxes list....Quote:

Good luck to everyone at the gp. I'm on dark maverick and not super sure in my SB yet.
Just want to say 1 thing to anybody playing this deck tomorrow: play a Sword of Light and Shadow. You can hardlock entire decks with just SoLaS and Qasali Pridemage, and doing so is ridiculously fun. It is also actually pretty dang good vs Miracles just for the protection. Herzog was definitely on to something with the 2 Swords 1 Jitte equipment package (as were everybody who played this deck 3 years ago)
Miracles is very draw dependant. your chances decrease if they get counter top going, but if you play it right, you can be favored. You need to put pressure on them, without ever overcommiting to the board. Thalia is great (because topping is very mana intensive), and Teeg can completely shut them down if they can't find a plow. You need to not draw plows g1 because they are near dead and instead rely on your non-creature permanents: equipment and library. Don't forget that every land becomes a weapon when you have dryad arbor and equipment (that's why playing marsh flats hurts). some people play it more aggressive and just try to win before they can terminus. I just don't overcommit and go for the long game with equipment.
What are your thoughts on SB Lightning Greaves for the matchup since Teeg+Greaves is pretty good vs Miracles and takes up only 1 SB slot?Quote:

Check out how many trial winners we have!
All of the best Mavericks in one place:
http://sales.starcitygames.com//deck...num=0&limit=25
Fabian Goerzen is there, our very own Warden, and like 2-3 other people! Maverick is back baby! 19% of the trial winners were playing Maverick of some sort.
BTW: Warden is busting out some sick SB tech in the No Pro
Interesting fact - almost all of those maverick was running 7+ removal spells Decay for Junk lists, and Punishing fire for Jund one. Looks like Delver/Swiftspear won't ride to victory.
Holy mother of god, that's some density.
Just having that many decklists on one page of results and having them be winners? We haven't seen these numbers since the printing of Thalia.
Compiling them here for easier access.
Punishing Maverick; Fabian Gorzgen
Maverick; Conor McCormack
Maverick; Christopher Scagnelli
Maverick; Rory Bokser
Maverick; Noel Thompson
Interesting I would ask Fabiano a question - why not pyroblast/reb in SB ?
Jon Stern was 6-0 with Dark Maverick at the beginning of Round 7.
