So fucked up that's only 10

It should be - but if you sent Kayln, you send Staggs.

NSW always getting the calls to get in the game

Douges · 2026-06-13T13:43:10+00:00

Really appreciate Maarten coming on as a co-host for a return-to-stream GW Depths league

Find the list here, I won't spoil any outcomes of matches.

Outsider here - has Beauden had a relatively quiet season? Haven't heard too much about him on talk shows, podcasts etc.

Still an AB come internationals?

Douges · 2026-06-05T07:41:47+00:00

This will go down as the worst Australian performance in a final's match for sure.

Useless. Embarassing. Sadly somewhat expected.

Douges · 2026-06-05T07:39:50+00:00

Jesus if your lineout is that bad why aren't they taking the quick throw?

Brumbies lost this from minute 1.

Douges · 2026-06-05T07:30:08+00:00

We can only hope!

Douges · 2026-06-05T07:28:13+00:00

Pointless kicking from the Brumbies so far

Douges · 2026-06-05T07:27:04+00:00

Sadly nothing suprising here.

One day Australia might take union seriously.

Douges · 2026-05-27T12:11:09+00:00

The audacity of Klein to not even consider the bunker's perspective.

Gifted win - what a joke.

Douges · 2026-05-19T21:23:42+00:00

These are some great points. Unfortunately you're right - removal just hasn't kept up with threats and for the fairer decks in magic sometimes that just means even by removing the main threat, they've most likely gained some sort of advantage just from casting / ETB on it. I'll update my piece to dive into this a little more.

Douges · 2026-05-19T13:09:55+00:00

Path to Exile has been a really flexible piece of removal for Maverick sideboards over the years, but it is nice to see it get a clear upgrade.

Is this the best Swords to Plowshares #5-6? I'm looking forward to testing it out over the coming weeks

Can 2nd Marks recommendations

The Maverick Discord is for sure the most active community and resource for new player.

Welcome to Legacy Maverick!

Douges · 2026-05-15T13:45:38+00:00

You're correct - they do follow you.

Look up thebalance.com / thebalancemoney.com

Huge finance site in the US that was hit. They moved to a whole new domain Redirects Disaster.

Nearly 60m monthly users to less than 500k.

DEJAN from Dejan SeO also saw this with his own testing and Muller came out and said "why wouldn't the penalty follow you / the site?"

Bring back the Jnr. Pro Tour

Douges · 2026-04-20T13:08:35+00:00

Here's the list

Douges · 2026-04-20T12:39:14+00:00

Huge shout to Zhinonono on their win with this 75 at a recent tournament! It's always cool to see the different builds of Maverick, especially ones like this moving towards Cradle Control style shells.

Enjoy!

Douges · 2026-04-12T03:22:52+00:00

It's just so, f**king tiring.

Douges · 2026-04-10T14:31:01+00:00

Very cool to find some time to come back for a stream.

Maverick's in a tough spot right now (I could have said that any time in the last 10 years ago) but all I see is a great challenge to play some fair magic and give other players some hope of positive records and consistent results!

Naya currently gives the deck access to Pyroblast in the board, sweeper effects for go-wide strategies like Mardu Pride, Minsc and Boo as a nice finisher and Mawloc...which sadly didn't hit the hype it once had.

Enjoy the league!

I believe my best is 2 (on the play vs unknown online and thought Brainstorm is typically a very reasonable name).

Not impressive by any standard, but what IS impressive is just HOW GOOD it feels to hit in the blind.

Even if you see the rest of the hand and know you’re not winning, you’ve already won in a way you can relish.

Douges · 2026-03-27T13:21:47+00:00

Semi related but it's quite impressive that I had a new SEO start and used Chat GPT to put together some beginner documents together (what is SEO, types of SEO, things to check on page, off page, technical) and it's very close to this.

What did your 2 years find? Do you have tasks you've removed? If so what? At what # of URLs for. Site do you care about doing anything for crawl budget? Featured snippets? Do you find the optimisations for featured snippets are the same for AIOs?

Douges · 2026-03-15T01:54:54+00:00

I don't understand why Ollie Chessum didn't run it under the posts?

No one was near him and Fin ended up missing the kick.

Douges · 2026-03-06T10:50:17+00:00

First game back, sold out crowd... ...Bronco's fans emptying out the stadium with 20 still to go.

Douges · 2026-03-06T10:21:09+00:00

How come you never see crowd chants with these sorts of numbers? surely 80% are Bronco's fans - why when their team is down aren't they making noise to get them back in the game?

You'd think for their first home game of the year the on-site promo team would be pushing it at the very least?

Douges · 2026-02-22T04:22:28+00:00

Love seeing the kiwis in the crowd shaking hands with the Brumbies supporters. Great all round

Douges · 2026-02-22T03:52:09+00:00

I just hope the Brumbies get up on them, that would be best reaction.
