Not a great day for Jund

Posted by Mr Z on November 23rd, 2009 filed in Extended

Took my latest Jund creation to King of Cards for a FNM event yesterday. I was hoping to build on my 3-1-1 from my last outing. Sadly that was not to be.

Here is the list that I was piloting:

Jund Agro – 21-11-2009

Format: Standard Decks
Colours: Black | Green | Red

Decklist:

18 Creatures 17 Other Spells 25 Lands
4 Bloodbraid Elf
3 Broodmate Dragon
4 Great Sable Stag
4 Sprouting Thrinax
3 Vampire Nighthawk
3 Bituminous Blast
4 Blightning
4 Lightning Bolt
3 Maelstrom Pulse
3 Terminate
2 Akoum Refuge
1 Arid Mesa
2 Dragonskull Summit
2 Forest
3 Mountain
2 Oran-Rief, the Vastwood
3 Rootbound Crag
4 Savage Lands
1 Scalding Tarn
3 Swamp
2 Verdant Catacombs
Sideboard
2 Deathmark
4 Goblin Ruinblaster
3 Jund Charm
2 Magma Spray
2 Malakir Bloodwitch
2 Thought Hemorrhage

The biggest problem the deck had was trying to do too much in different directions. Vampire Night hawk and Great Sable Stag can not both be in the deck – BB1 and GG1, while potentially possible, seldom come together from 3 mana sources. There were times where I had Great Sable Stag and Vampire Nighthawk in hand, with BRG in play. I do have some ideas on changes that I want to make to the composition, howeveTournament Reportr.

I am a little concerned for Jund being viable following the Worlds finals and the advent of Naya Light Sabre. From what I can see, Light Sabre can handle Jund but more importantly the rest of the field to boot.  I expect to see a large number of copy cat decks coming out and attacking the dominance of Jund – Is there a deck that can then step into the void and take advantage of this meta game transition.
