Early Griselbrand Card-draw

Modern BRG (Jund)

This is a deck based on this deck, it is essentially a cheaper version:

What this deck does, is it gets out Griselbrand as early as possible. This is done by discarding him and moving him from the graveyard onto the battlefield. He can be discarded using Lightning Axe , Faithless Looting or simply by not doing anything for the first turn and discarding him due to having 8 cards in your hand. However, this is the worst approach. You can then bring him back using Goryo's Vengeance or Footsteps of the Goryo . However, if you use Footsteps, you will need to use Crimson Wisps to give him haste. Then, you just attack, draw 14 cards, play Fury of the Horde by discarding two red cards, attack again, do that again, and attack the final time.

Some useful things are:

Simian Spirit Guide is good if you need extra mana but you do not have any lands.

Apostle's Blessing is extremely useful to protect yourself against things like Path to Exile or Doom Blade (if you played Crimson Wisps ).

Time of Need is very nice for fetching Griselbrand if you do not draw him in time.

Turn one win is possible, but highly unlikely. You can work out for yourself how to do it. :D

Because people often exiled or destroyed Griselbrand, I decided to replace all four Through the Breach (which were never used) with four Apostle's Blessing. It is white, but you can just pay 2 life to cast it. That way, it is protected from any destruction and exiling.
