[Deck] GW/x Maverick

That poor dryad arbor must be so confused being a mountain with protection from red (but yes, still green)

more of topic- congrats! Still not sure if I should play Batterskull anywhere, but I do want to try out 1 Leovold as a Green Sun target.

Leovold could be cool. We do have ~5 blue sources from the dorks, and it might not be a bad idea to include a trop and a couple meddling mages in the board if you wanna go that route.

I ended up 1-3 drop in my league.

Miracles: 2-1
BR Tin Fins: 1-2
BR Tin Fins: 0-2
Elves: 0-2

I had to mull against elves to find live cards, and I risked a 1 lander with mom and canonist/teeg. I didn't draw the second land, and he turn 2'd me. BR tin fins, or any tin fins for that matter, are poor matchups. He didn't even really need to reanimate grisel, he would pretty frequently just Dark Rit Dark Rit Cabal Rit and cast him.

I love punishing fire, but I am starting to miss Thalia: Guardian of White Legacy Mages.

Fire is nice and all, but I'd rather have Thalia in the current meta. I think I'd have to be in a pretty fair meta to even consider fire.

New Thalia is a must for any meta with elves in it, she's just so good!

What is your current list? About to dust off the cob webs and attend a team tournament in Maryland for the SCG Open.

Went 4-0 in local I guess tonight. Beat aluren basically by mana denial with waste, thalia, and scooze against deathrites. Feels like a pretty easy match up I think. I was debating playing a second canonist in the board, but meh. Otherwise I beat deathblade as well. Game 1 presented a quick jitte on thalia and denied him his jitte. Game two he bricked on lands and I kept him off of deathrite with scooze and choked him. I really want to play a second scooze main again, but dunno what to cut. Definitely don't want to go below 2 pridemage which already feels low. I like new Thalia as a 2 of. Feels like the right number. Tried Dromokas command. Boarded it against aluren but didn't draw it. It's probably terrible. Might try to get some testing in tomorrow. I surprisingly haven't really missed SoFaI. Maybe a bit against BUG, but skull has been fine.

New spoiler today that's potentially playable in Maverick:

Renegade Rallier
1 GW
Human Warrior

Revolt - When this ETB, return target permanent with CMC 2 or less from the graveyard to the battlefield.
3/2


Seems REALLY good with fetches, wastelands, random hatebears, jitte, or basically almost any permanent in this deck. And in a relevant creature type. Oh, and it's an uncommon for some reason.

Pridemage your thing, get pridemage back with this? I pooped

What's people's thoughts on main deck Thalia's guardian? It feels like since I've put her in the main I increase my combo matchups but I'm losing more to other decks.

T1 noble T2 Renegade bringing back fetch means 5 mana on turn 3. Seems decent :p

The dude can ramp us to with fetches. That is nice

Worth testing however I'm skeptical of it being a mainstay given the limited number of slots for 3 mana spells. Notable about the Renegade Rallier is that you can trigger him with scryb ranger and knight of the reliquary which seems awesome. Also the potential for triple to even quadruple wasteland turns seems hilarious. You would of course need a knight and scryb ranger in play to do this. Although I'm skeptical he does seem worth testing.

Ups, indeed it is :-) Value use case scenarios for this 3-drop are immense.

I will certainly be trying 1 out in the "courser" slot.

Went 2-3 in my latest league, playing a stock GWb list.

Can't remember the chronological order, but:

Omnisneak: 0-2
4c Loam: 0-2
UW Blade: 2-0
Sneak and Show: 2-1
Death and Taxes: 1-2

I am currently playing a slightly suboptimal manabase (3 savannah, 2 bayou, 3 foothills, 4 Heath, 2 Forest, 1 Plains, stuff), but I am going to upgrade before my next league to the classic Herzog manabase. It has hurt in a couple of games not being able to fetch W/B, so maybe this will alleviate some of the pain.

I usually have 3 flex slots in my list, atm it's 2 Heretic Cathar and a Garruk Relentless. (Other cards that fill these slots are usually decays, leovold, sylvan library, 2nd Scryb//Ooze, Elspeth).

But I'm pretty sure I want at least 1 Renegade Rallier, he seems good - more importantly, he's so pretty :^).

I've been doing well locally except Omni has been dumperstering me as well when I run into it :(

Omni huh? How many canonist/rule of law you packing in your 75?

2 Canonist but I lose when I show her in and I don't have enchantment removal and they cast Emrakul next turn after putting in omni, or if I have both and they just show in a creature and I don't have Karakus//Knight. It's mostly just having the wrong thing at the wrong time.

I think I might try to play 1 Reclamation Sage in the sideboard, doesn't give them priority to cast Emrakul when they show in Omni and it's nice in other matchups, though I already have quite a bit of artifact//enchantment removal with Pridemage and Decay ... I'm not the biggest fan of Oblivion Ring but I have played it before.

Went 4-1 in today's league.

Sneak and Show: 2-1
Storm: 2-0
Death and Taxes: 2-1
4c Delver: 0-2
Merfolk: 2-0

"Stock" list:
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/540138#online

Sneak and Show went for it turn 1 g1 and I had the knight for his emmy. g2 he took it slow and I couldn't stop his emmy ult off of sneak. g3 he went for it early again, but I had knight again. Even though he drew 14 off grisel, I had a double wasteland opener and got his turn 1 tomb and turn 2 volc to seal the deal.

Storm he probes me and takes my thalia turn 1, I rip another like a champ and slam it. g2 I keep a t1 accelerator t2 zenith for teeg had and get with with a sword of light and shadow on teeg to prevent any decay shenanigans.

D&T: I lose first game, zealous persecution wins 2nd game, game 3 is interesting. He gets a vial, but is stuck on 1 land, I build a huge board but am stalled by mother of runes and revoker naming DRS, and the game ends like this eventually (after much painstaking combat math on both parties):

http://i.imgur.com/pavMdby.png

4c Delver was basically a slaughter, with me losing game 1 to 3 deathrite shamans despite gaining board superiority at one point (though I couldn't answer a bob), and g2 I couldn't answer bob again and eventually my knight got submerged and I lost.

Merfolk player was just unlucky whereas I curved out normally and won with knights. g2 I drew a zealous when I needed to get rid of 2 tnn at 3 life, so that was cliutch, but library was the all star of this game.

Thanks for reading! Hope some maverick pilots do well in the trials tonight for Louisville.

Down to discuss boarding/matchup advice if anyone wants to prepare for the GP.

Came to talk about this card.

I think we're going to see a lot of this card in the future. A lot.

The extra wastelands are just going to win games plain and simple.
The ability to get back Teeg and Thalia is huge and a much needed win for this deck.

Pretty happy to see this amazing toy after all the love D&T got.

Things that allow it to trigger:
Fetches
Wasteland
Scryb Ranger
Knight of the Reliquary
Qasali Pridemage

Magic Christmas Land: Saccing a Tracker's Clue.
