Deck discussion for Speed Maze's End

Faster for just the Maze's End ability. Defense is lacking so someone would have to really screw up in order for this to win haha.

Sphere of safety and squeekems suggested a good thing. Just lots of life until sphere of safety then speed to mazes end.

You have a total of 8 enchantments. You would probably get 2-3 off in a game under the assumption that they don't get removed/countered. Players will leave their mana open to make sure they can pay the cost to attack. It may slow them down enough for the combo to happen. I guess I'd have to see the deck in actual play.

I agree that the deck has a low enchantment count for Sphere of Safety, but I want to mention that Sphere of Safety stacks. One Sphere alone calls for one mana per creature. Two Spheres calls for four mana per creature. Three calls for nine mana per creature. So on and so forth.

Also with supreme verdict in there now after proxying, I should be able to get the combo out pretty easily. Especially if I pull divination, then unexpected results, urban evolution, etc. it works pretty well really.

not true about the mill , i built this my self and put in some things of my own and it works great , even against mill . you will get another elixer always and piss the mill guy off (happened to me) . i side deck 2 crackling perimiters, 2 hold the gates, and 2 akrom horses, and 2 spouremounds. ok now i sub them all in and take out the following , 3 urbans, 3 unexcpected, one into the wilds, and one sphere of saftey . the crackles make up for the enchantment loss and so do the hold the gates and there cheap to drop. i use the maze end card even more to get gates . mean while your making blockers with the horse and the spore mound that stall for you with hold the gates . i have only lost one game and it was mono white aggro . all your control and midrange decks will fall to this . you have a great idea with this deck , you can even throw a elspeth in instead of the horse or sporemound, just any token makers . like i said no loses but to aggro , and if you can grab a verdict in the first few hands even aggro has a tough chance to win . i love your idea thanks for posting i'm having so much fun with this deck. I hate the turbo fog idea and you made the maze fun....

"Probably doesn't work too well because of rites of flourishing" What do you mean?

I see you put a lot of stall cards in the deck. Are there any better cards you could be using to stall? Hero's Reunion might be better than Saruli Gatekeepers. You could keep the Gatekeepers, drop the Fog Banks instead. Simply heal through flying damage until you drop a Sphere of Safety. That should stall long enough for you to drop the Maze's End win condition.

Alright.
Oh and what I meant was I had rites of flourishing, but then I realized it was 2013, not 2012, and it was m12. :P
And your suggestions sound good, I was just using the fog banks cuz they were cheap and good blockers

Blocking is swell, but a mountain's fire is hard to hold back. The Vizkopa Bank could care less what creatures you possess when you have a debt owed.

I'll save my like for when you start to drop off the page ;-) But could you tell us more info on how this deck did? What did you face? How many wins? How many times have you played it? What worked well and what didn't?

Oh yeah, I lost, but just barely. I'm putting in a supreme verdict or two. My next card was the last gate :P

I'm thinking only have 1 of each gate because I have elixir, and that will make the game.go faster as.well.
What do you guys think?

You are really hurting yourself when facing a mill deck.Would would you put instead of 10 lands?

0
Posted 15 July 2013 at 19:22

8 lands that don't enter tapped. And 2 more elixirs.
Because that will speed it up and when facing a mill I have more elixirs.
Sorry, my bad, forgot to say that

What would you suggest? Lol when you say it doesn't sound terrible, it doesn't sound good either. What would you suggest instead lol?
Also, it is hard to do a standard mazes end. Otherwise I would do rites of flourishing and abundance.

I took out two saruli and added 2 more lands cuz I need those for the speed. Plus I have elixir and heroes reunion for life.

I have not proxied the deck so I am unaware of any issues it may have with land. Less land means Unexpected Results combos less.

To me, it seems you are stepping away from the speed aspect of this deck.

Clone would combo with Gatecreeper Vine.

Yeah I know. How am I stepping away from the speed? Turn 3 I could already be dead so I need some early mana then I just combo unexpected, divination and urban, then mazes end helps a lot, I can use it earlier.
Say I have gatecreeper vine on the field, so I have 3 tapped lands on turn two with this new land thing. Then turn 4 I can play into the wilds or unexpected results. Then turn 4 I can play urban evolution. Then another gatecreeper vine. It works better now I think, but idk, I'll have to proxy it again :P

I do not see how you have three lands on the battlefield turn three with Gatecreeper Vine.

Oh my bad, thought it came onto the field. But still, I can play him a turn earlier, then another the next turn, and then do into the wilds, etc.

the best way to do a mazes end deck is just the lands and nothing but answers like feeling of dread and field wipe etc

Would you not want a gate fetch machine set up at the same time? One other than Maze's End?

Realistically, you'll drop maze's end, at the quickest, turn 6 for the win. That's too slow for what you need to do. You would die before you could stabilize. You have to make it more controlling, and Primeval Bounty provides sustain.

Except I could only do that on turn 6 ironically.
