There's no question of "how" if there's not a compelling "why". Maverick is already SUPER grindy, at that point it just feels like you're wasting match time.

They're 2 different decks. It's almost certainly better to play Punishing Mav or play 4C. Doing something in the middle seems very frivolous to discuss. Not trying to dump on your ideas here, you just can't expect a nuanced answer (on the 4C thread) for a non-compelling question. This could be a fine idea to brew around in a new thread though.
