I know said earlier that I was retiring this deck, but the presence of Kiora, the Crashing Wave in Born of the Gods sent me crawling back.

My record in the Swiss rounds was 3-1-1, and I lost in the first round of top 8 to place 8th of 30 players. Two of my wins were against W/U Control, which is a very favorable matchup for this deck. By the time the opponent is really ready to get rolling, my hand is full of cards and I’m only a handful of turns away from winning. My other win and my loss in the Swiss were against Mono Black Devotion. The difficulty of that match depends heavily on whether I get the right kind of removal against Pack Rat and how many Gray Merchants my opponent sees. My final loss was against R/G Aggro, knocking me out of the top 8. Pretty much every non-land card in that deck is an efficient and/or resilient threat, making it extremely difficult to keep up if I draw either not enough removal or too many 1-for-1 removal spells. My draw was an ID into top 8, with an opponent who I’m pretty sure was playing W/U Control. He wasn’t able to escape his fate, however, as he was knocked out in the first round of the top 8 by another Maze’s End deck.

The revisions to the deck over the previous version really changed the feel and the essential character, and I find so many fewer frustrating moments during the course of an average game. I haven’t gotten bored with it yet, and hopefully things will stay that way for a while.

I love Maze's End decks. You actually made it work, though. Mine was 4 of each gatekeeper, 2 of each gate, 4 maze's end, 4 gatecreeper Vine, and some Species Gorger and other stuff to fill. It. Was. Bad. Hooray against Sphinx's Revelation , though. It's too big for standard.

To be honest, I think if I built a casual version of the deck I would do pretty much exactly what you did. I imagine that could get pretty funny sometimes.

I have A LOT of fun with mazes end decks. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-gates-of-judgement/ Check mine out. I took the turbo fog route. Very good win win rate surprisingly. My only trouble has come to decks that run a lot of counterspells. Anyways, tell me what you think, I always like feedback! :)

I did, but it's really hard to find a space for something that isn't removal or a stall tactic. It's possible it could be used to replace Urban Evolution , but I don't know how I feel about that.
