I dont understand why people prefer to run Prime Speaker Zegana over Sphinx's Revelation.
Sphinx's Revelation > Prime Speaker Zegana
1. Instant.
2. Works well with snapcaster
3. Life gain. (Much better against Naya human in SCG Indiana)
4. Doesn't need another creature to draw cards
Prime Speaker Zegana > Sphinx's Revelation
1. Cant be countered with Cavern of souls (also, only counter is from UW or UWR, Esper. They only run 2~3 counters).
I dropped the green because really this deck is nothing without rites-ing the angel. Any other gameplay is sub-par compared to whatever everyone else is running.
deck has a super consistent game 1, usually getting angels out with an alfa strike turn 4-5.
I've found that the deck's only really good to steal a win from time to time, take down a tournament when there's little/no GY hate floating around, then die away when people bring in the GY hate for the next time.
I really have no idea how to build the deck to have a consistent/powerful gameplan other than rites-ing the angel.
I only play standard because legacy is too expensive to play. However, I always like maverick because of Knight of the Reliquary. With modern slowly getting popular, I like to build a modern version of maverick. However, when i research on this site, I dont see any modern maverick nor deck with Knight of the Reliquary. Can someone please explain the reason?
do you guys also side in removal (tragic slip, abrupt decay) against opponent mana dork
Thanks
Currently think sideboard 2 Reverberate.
It is useful against Sphinx's Revelation or Rakdos's Return
What do you guys think?
Thanks

I am currently running talrand build.
However, I am still not sure what card I should sideboard against GR, GW or Naya Pod.
