Hello guys, I don't know if this is the right place to post this deck and to ask for sugestions and opinion. It's an effort to put together something between Maverick, BW Stoneblade and Junk/Rock so i cannot tell where exact this deck belong.
Basicly I want to play some Black splash for my favourite card - Dark Confidant together with 3 thoughtseize. Also want to utilize Aether Vial and Green Sun´s Zenith together. The deck is something like a creature toolbox with many Sb options with the help of Green Sun´s Zenith and Enlightened Tutor.
I too would also cut Aether Vial. I never really liked it much in Maverick builds. That might free up some space for another 1-drop, like Noble Hierarch or something. Also, why not Sylvan Library over Top? Besides, you've got Dark Confidant, which might be a good enough card draw engine in itself.
Thanks guys. I will take the comments into consideration. I'll probably do what CRich3 suggested to my sb.
I do like the idea of putting Thrun in there, but I'm not sure about putting him in over Goyf. I like how Goyf is easily GSZ-able with 3 mana if I need a fatty out there fast, whereas it would take me 5 mana to GSZ for Thrun. But I will try out that switch and see how it goes.
Maybe it will be a good change considering the amount of blue-heavy tempo decks out there.
EDIT: Oh, I also suggested COP: Red because it has a dual function of dealing with Progenitus. As I understand it we're pretty much screwed in a MU where he hits the table, since Karakas can't deal with him.
Hey guys, I've been playing a GW Maverick-type list for about 2 years now. This is my deck at the time of this writing. Looking for critique, especially the sideboard.
I'm just wondering what we should do against Burn, since it's on the rise. If I can get a Jitte or Batterskull out fast enough, it's usually enough to hold on for the win. But if my hand doesn't have either those and/or a Stoneforge in it, I usually lose. Maybe replace something in the sideboard with a singleton Circle of Protection: Red or Warmth?
Also, what are people's thoughts on possibly cutting a creature or two for a singleton Thrun, the Last Troll maindeck?
I've been playing Magic casually on-and-off since about 2000. I just started getting back into it about two years ago, and since then it's become a much more frequent hobby. I mostly play Legacy, and am thinking about getting into Vintage (if I can find some proxy tournaments... hehe).
2 Ethersworn Canonist
2 Phyrexian Metamorph
2 Tormod's Crypt
2 Krosan Grip
1 Warmth
1 Stony Silence
1 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Tower of the Magistrate
I'd like to fit a Choke in there somewhere, just for how great it is against anything blue. What should I cut for it? Maybe lose the Tower?

Anyway, outside of Magic, I play the guitar.
It's good to be here!
