My first attempt at Jund. Would appreciate any help!

It's pretty similar to the traditional Jund deck. I originally went with a hand and creature Jund control with main deck Duress and 3 Rakdos's Return but I found this doesn't work as well against aggro.

While testing the deck I found out I really like Desecration Demon. In combination with Liliana of the Veil and other spot removal, it either becomes an extremely efficient creature or helps me control the board and trigger morbid. However, I do side it out against decks that can easily keep it locked down (such as tokens).

The other "tier 2" card I have is Vraska the Unseen. In testing she has been extremely nice at being able to blow up other permanents, and again she semi-contributes to my desire for some creature control via her + ability. Her assassin tokens have even won me a game after Bonfire of the Damned!

If you are wondering why Garruk Relentless   instead of Garruk, Primal Hunter... I don't own any Garruk, Primal Hunter =( so in goes little Garruk. He helps fetch a Thundermaw or lifegain creature when needed, or Desecration Demon if I just want to give my opponent a threat. After sideboard he is great at helping grab Acidic Slime vs the drownyard. Little Garruk is also why I put an Underworld Connections into the main deck, as I have little card draw otherwise.

First FNM 3/8/13 — March 11, 2013
Edit

Took this deck to 2-1-1 at my second FNM ever. Only changes were -2 Pillar of Flame from the sideboard into +1 Ultimate Price and +1 Murder

Round 1: Esper Control - 1-1 draw. Random thoughts: I need card draw, I ran out of gas game 1 with my opponent at low life and never drew a threat (including Bonfire of the Damned).

Round 2: Silly Guttersnipe/Charmbreaker Devils deck - 2-1. Random thoughts: I still really want Garruk, Primal Hunter for the card draw but the “fight” ability of Garruk Relentless  Flip worked great against this kind of deck. I’m really happy with the amount of spot removal after sideboard.

Round 3: Vampire aggro – 1-2. Random thoughts: my deck was fine other than the mulligan to 4 game 1, I just needed to play smarter. My opponent’s deck (built by his sons) ran every red sorcery speed creature steal in standard, I think. I lost to a top-deck vampire pump with his Glaring Spotlight for his sole vampire up against my many threats on the table.

Round 4: B/U mill – 2-0. Random thoughts: still very happy with the amount of spot removal in main and after sideboard.


Cards that stood out:

Vraska the Unseen is fantastic as a harder-to-deal with answer to random things I need dead. I never used her ultimate but she always got played at some point when she was in my hand to do something great.

Garruk Relentless  Flip: I was set to buy Garruk, Primal Hunter for the card draw but the figh ability was very relevant in my area. The creature search was almost as good just to dig for answers.


Cards that stood out by not being so great:

Thundermaw Hellkite really never impressed me, nor did I ever feel the need to tutor for it. May go purely 1x in sideboard as a tutor target against something like Spirits.

Underworld Connections: it may have just been the games I played but getting this early never led to drawing cards as I needed to play threats. Later it was either blown up or I didn’t need to use the ability. Not sure if replacing Thundermaw Hellkite for a second one of these would make it more worth using.
