Hey!It's marok!The fantabulous deckling who brought you esteemed decks such as No One Minds Vanilla..., and American, No girls in the Pillow Fort!!And today, I have brought you my reiteration of the deck: Selesnya Maverick, which utilizes fetch lands to pump Knight of the Reliquary, and uses efficient green white hate bears, to slow the opponent while effectively chipping away at the enemies life points with beaters. This deck is tried and true. BUT NO FUN!
*drop the bass
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooOOOoooOOoooOOooOOoOOoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I believe that my version has more zing and pep. Scratch that, even MORE zing and pep than "more zing and pep", pretty much it can be defined like this: "this deck got hella zing and hell pep",
My version is running 10 zendikar fetches because they pump Knight of the Reliquary, and also the major difference in the two decks Khalni Heart Expedition and Lotus Cobra, both of which become extremely powerful when your land for turn can trigger their ability twice. Both of these cards also work extremely well with Harrow and later I will explain some ridiculous early starts.
I am running 4 Path to Exile and 2 Aven Mindcensor main (2 in SB as well) which pretty much means this isn't a TOTALLY wild party, I had to throw in some regulars. Seriously, get off the chandelier, take that lampshade off your head and YES, put your pants back on. This is a competitive deck.
This deck can operate in many different ways, primarily based not he hand you get. I'm going to display some synergies which will define how you play the deck based on the combos you draw.
Synergies:
Lotus Cobra+fetch land+Life from the Loam,this combo pretty much allows free land ETB triggers, self mill for Knight of the Reliquary, and mana, when you draw this combo, play the deck like a midrange, try to hit lands, and play until you can smack down a fatty.
Lotus Cobra and/or Khalni Heart Expedition+Harrow, when you have your rampy 2 drop out, play a land, (1 trigger) then tapped for 3 (3 mana), then harrow (2 land etb triggers) and tap for 2 (5 mana) if you have both, it will be an obscene amount of mana, which can result in woodfall primes or any other beater.
Knight of the Reliquary+no ramp,play this hand carefully, smack down Aven Mindcensor against enemy fetches, and Path to Exile their blokes, and lets Knight of the Reliquary churn out lands and become a monster and wait for your ramp or your finisher.
Some crazy early shit
T1 land
T2 land Lotus Cobra
T3 Khalni Heart Expedition, land, (1 floating 1 counter),float 3 (4 floating, 1 counter) harrow, (6 floating 3 counters) sac Khalni Heart Expedition (8 floating) and smack down Iona, Shield of Emeria turn 3 and laugh like a dumbass
SB explained
Gaddock Teegawesome vs control... nuff said
Elspeth Tirelawesome vs aggro... nuff said
Aven Mindcensorif you feel 2 assholes isn't enough
Restoration Angelif you need to save your dudes, and bouncing Sylvan Primordial or woodfall primes is awesome
Day of Judgment bring in if the enemy is being a douche
Linvala, Keeper of Silencebeats certain combos
Saffi Eriksdotteranother S.O.S. for creatures if you feel like you need it
Thanks for reading, don't forget to throw me a bone (or a plus 1) and comments are greatly appreciated because this deck is still in the making. I really need some better finishers. Check out some of my other decks too!
Cheers,
marok
