I jungle maokai. I start cloth 5, start at blue, wolves, wraits, golems, red, wraiths, then back (I usually have one potion left). I buy boots and a fairy charm. Then I try to steal the enemy blue, and gank. Now I buy philo and start farming between ganks.

My full build goes (not particularly in this order): Aegis of the Legion, Sherelya's Reverie, defensive boots (usually merc's), Rod of Ages, Frozen Heart, then something situational (usually ends up and Randuin's Omen, Thornmail, or Force of Nature)

My ganking initiation goes: Run out of the jungle with W, Ult thier path (with me in it of course), E to where I think they will go/where I can knock them to, Q them into where the sapling will drop, then pop ult at the edge of range.

Masteries: 0-21-9

Runes: (To honest I'm not sure about my reds), flat armor yellows, 6 flat mr blues, 2 flat ap blues, and 1 MR per level blue. (my blues are all over the place, I combine a lot of runes xD), 2 ms quints, and one avarice quint.

I've played Maokai about six times, but this build seems fairly good against a variety of team comps. I did well every time, and only lost one game. I was playing on skype with 4 of my friends, that does make ganking a lot easier, but you know, just throwing that out there.

If anyone has any tips, build ideas, or comments I'd greatly appriciate it.
