I would appreciate comments, creative insights are what keep my decks powerful!

My own version of Jund Aggro I've been running.

There has been some changing as I get more Verdant Catacombs, keep the comments coming! Thanks!

Q&A:

1) Why 2 Ruinblaster's mainboard???A: With the amount of Jund/BlueBlack/tricolor in this format, running partially against them mainboard can help you win game one against a potentially difficult matchup. The blown up land game 1 can make a HUGE difference.

2) Why sprouting thrinax?A: In this meta, control cards are quite popular - lightning bolts, hideous ends, terminates, etc run rampant in almost any deck. Sprouting thrinax recycles his aggro in his saprolings, who if enhanced by Garruks final, could mean 3 4/4 tramplers getting swung at your opponent for game! (An interesting win strategy is if you have garruk and thrinax out, bituminous blast your own thrinax for a cascade and use garruks final on your turn with your new saprolings. OUCH!

3) Broodmate dragon? People still run him?A: A lot of his counters have rotated out, and again with the creature control in this meta, its better to lose 1 of 2 4/4 flyers than 1 of 1 super creatures.
