Hello and welcome to the first episode of Inside the Maverick. This is a podcast-style VOD where I’m joined by a Maverick specialist and run through how they began playing MTG and more specifically the Legacy format, their experience with Maverick archetypes and some of their current lists they’re running through tournaments.
It was really nice to have Mark Strassman on for the first episode, running through Punishing Maverick’s current position in the Legacy metagame.
We also talked about some new 4C builds he has been working on, taking advantage of some blue spells in Meddling Mage and Oko, Thief of Crowns.
This is the first of a series so be sure to subscribe to the channel. I’m really looking forward to building out this type of content.
