You could make the argument that Twilight Mire or Blooming Marsh gets cut for another shock. I would prefer to go down to 2x Bloodstained Mires and get a second Wooded Foothills. I dont have a second copy though. But then again being turned off of is bad news.

I see, I think I understand lol. I think at most I'd cut the twilight mire for an overgrown tomb, since it could be fetched for fairly easily. I have an unused copy of wooded foothills I've been trying to give up for ages lol. I can understand that, but I think the shocks would be able to give you jsut a little more flexibility for it, but that's really what I've seen in my sultai deck that I'm currently testing.

Do you have a list for it? I would love to test against a Sultai deck. I've always preferred Jund, but Sultai is my close second favorite Archetype. I just can't splurge for Aether Vials, Snapcaster Mages and Cryptic Commands. Creeping Tar Pit isn't cheap either. I've always liked Sultai, but it has so many cards that I just don't have right now.

I actually do! I haven't posted it yet since I'm still trying to do some trial runs and going to make a summary of it but if you can pm somehow I'd be happy to send it to you! Sultai is great lol, but I took mine into a bit of a different turn on it to make it a bit cheaper.

Salty Midrange (Since Before Sultai Was Hip) current build if you want to test against it. I have an ok track record against Jund (3-3) at LGS with current build, less so against Abzan (1-3), mostly due to souls.

Great write up, man. I love the details, and yeah, fatigue has gotten all of us at one point or another. Hollow one zoo is absolutely a thing, though there a few different iterations of it. Keep up the good works, bud, and may all your ranges be mid.

the Competitive scale doesn't mean anything at all, actually.

but i'm gonna +1 it simply because Jund rules all.

Chasmolinker says... #10

Both of those statements are true. Lol

Chasmolinker says... #11

However, the deck is very competitive and holds its own in the current meta

im sure it does. sadly i dont have a couple month's rent worth of money to drop on it.

Lol. I know. Its a year+ in the making

I've been running more or less the same list but with hazoret in the main instead of kalitas. i really prefer hazoret at this point. either way, nice list!

supermill says... #15

I'm a big fan of the list, besides the Rabblemasters, I'd probably swap them out for a third Scavenging Ooze and a Kitchen Finks or Tireless Tracker, but that's just personal preference. Also, any particular reason for no Collective Brutality in the main? I usually run one where you would have the Maelstrom Pulse, how has that performed for you? I'd want two Collective Brutality in the 75, and probably just one Maelstrom Pulse

Chasmolinker says... #16

scrotality: Hazoret seems good. I will probably pick up some after it rotates from standard. I like Kalitas for the aggro decks. Plus the life gain can be crucial late game.

supermill: I haven't tried Collective Brutality main board. I will have to give it a go. I have noticed most lists only run one Maelstrom Pulse. Rabblemaster has an extremely fast clock. I wanted to eliminate the slow grindy cards like Tireless Tracker. Although a third Scavenging Ooze would probably be good.

grumbledore says... #17

Rabblemaster is an insane clock. i wouldn't take that out at all. i think 2x of those is great. finks is too slow in my opinion. although 1 brutality main is really nice. does wonders against burn :D also to be completely honest, i think Scavenging Ooze is the most powerful card in jund. i never run less than 3

December 18, 2017 4:48 p.m.

So why 3 of each Thoughtsieze and Inquisition? I usually see a 4 of IoK and 2 Thoughtsieze.

December 18, 2017 5:59 p.m.

Chasmolinker says... #19

I had 4 IoK and 2 Thoughtseize. I went with 3 & 3 to better my match-up against combo and CoCo. Theres been times where I wished I had the opposite of whatever I was holding but I think the 3/3 split is where I want to be for now.

I miss the days where this was the only deck I had to worry about when playing Bogles. Any reason why you're not running Liliana, the Last Hope?

December 19, 2017 2:25 a.m.

Chasmolinker says... #21

I had Liliana, the Last Hope in the main but have recently moved her to the sideboard for small creature decks and grindy match-ups. I wanted to increase the amount of removal spells I had in the deck. Lightning Bolt took her spot for now as I really needed it to close out some close games.

Tethys says... #22

+1, this build looks perfectly refined!

Chasmolinker says... #23

Thank You Tethys! I am currently working out my sideboard cheat sheet for a Modern 1k tomorrow.

December 22, 2017 11:31 a.m.

I'd definitely like to see you post how this does at the tourney

December 22, 2017 11:37 a.m.

Chasmolinker says... #25

Certainly will.
