Take the Oath [EMN Jund Superfriends]

Standard BRG (Jund) Midrange Superfriends

Sideboard


A Jund superfriends deck I'm brewing for EMN standard. Just playing around with it for now. I don't know if there will be some combo decks running around, or if this will hold up to the new and improved token strategies, but it's a ton of fun to goldfish. A curve of planeswalkers that generate a lot of value!

The Walkers

Liliana into Arlinn Kord   into Ob Nixilis Reignited into Chandra, Flamecaller .

Having a curve of planeswalkers is the new midrange. Having this many playable walkers is incredible. Liliana stops the early creatures that could threaten your walker curve (and completely blanks Nissa, Voice of Zendikar), Arlinn Kord   generates you a board state and helps clear theirs, Ob Nixilis Reignited refuels your hand and gets rid of big problems, and Chandra, Flamecaller is a nuts finisher whose synergy with Arlinn, Embraced by the Moon   is off the walls.

The Oaths

I love all of the Jund oaths, and the way they work together is delicious. Oath of Nissa is pseudo-card draw and allows us to stop worrying about running a 3-color deck. Oath of Chandra is a good ol' Lightning Strike for creatures only, but her burn clause is actually pretty relevant when you're dropping planeswalkers for 4 turns in a row.

And Oath of Liliana -- I LOVE it. It's almost like Oath of Gideon except it's also removal. Being able to generate bodies to protect the walkers you just played is exactly what you want.

Supporting Creatures

Woodland Wanderer and Sylvan Advocate: big beefy creatures that benefit from Arlinn Kord   buff and Liliana debuff on your opponents', but with the added bonus of vigilance to make sure your planeswalkers aren't killable.

Ulvenwald Hydra adds some nice Reach and fetches for lands to thin the deck, plus also becomes huge and a game-winner with Arlinn trample.

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is just a great card, benefits from the killing that Ob Nixilis Reignited and Arlinn, Embraced by the Moon   get up to. Incidentally helps Liliana ultimate if it happens. :)

We'll see if this kind of deck can be competitive in the new meta; there are a lot of scary deck ideas running around with the emerge Eldrazi and Eldrich Evolution. Ideas always welcome!
