Not a great day for Jund
Posted by Mr Z on November 23rd, 2009 filed in ExtendedTook 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.
