If I get 1 card draw of Bob and blow a removal spell, I feel he's done his job. In practice that's what happens half the time.

I feel as though Sorin, Lord of Innistrad is better in multiples.

I've played some Dega Midrange in Modern (locally but somewhat competitively with them) and Lingering Souls into Sorin for Emblem into Sorin (because he typically dies quickly) for Emblem or Token with Souls flashback coming soon makes him pretty good.

I love him and think he works well here, but in my opinion he's better with more than one. If you're only running 1, Vengeant might be better. I honestly don't know, however.

Interesting deck idea...I'm running a similar deck but just black/white D.E.D. GUY.. How's it been working out? Might be good to drop sorin and throw in another Vault of the Archangel .. this deck is midrange and vault really comes through in the late game with the life link, especially after bob.. Death touch doesn't hurt either

If you can afford it, jamming the Tarmogoyf is the way to go. They could never ban him because he's just a guy, not like Deathrite Shaman who makes something happen with other cards. But still, a 5/6 for 1G. How do you beat that?

Hey, I absolutely love the deck and mantra! This is more of an in game comment. Dark Confidant is actually quite a liability vs affinity and in my experience, i usually side him out. Affinity likes watching you damage yourself, because it generally speeds them up. That being said, Dark Confidant is an absolutely fantastic card overall. I tend to agree with the overall assessment on Sorin, but I also agree that a single emblem can make your goyfs stronger than and opponent's Tarmogoyf . What are your thoughts on Elspeth, Knight-Errant ?

she actually seems a bit better than Sorin. I'm really struggling with which 4 drop walker to use here.

You could take Sarkhan Vol for a spin. He's certainly more "Jund-y" than the others. Plus, if he lasts that long, he's got a pretty snazzy ultimate. And even if he's just distracting the opponent from you for a turn or two, he's still doing a fine job as a 'walker, yeah?

I could see Vol leading to surprise wins for sure. Take the enemies Tarmy, make Bob and the manlands more of a threat, take advantage of Hero of the Bladehold or Brimaz, ect. I think he could be very solid.

hmm.

I like how his +1 gives the entire team haste. Could be good with Lingering Souls . Must test! Back to the laboratory.

If you are getting tired of the whole stupid black space for Lingering Souls or Sorin, Lord of Innistrad then just put it in the builder like this:

1x Sorin, Lord of Innistrad [DKA]

4x Lingering Souls [DKA]

That should fix that whole thing for you, I think that tappedout is looking for the duel deck pictures, which aren't in the database therefore resulting in this horrendous black space holder.

Thanks Dude, they were actually not even showing up at all when I was doing test draws, which was getting super annoying.

just to be a nit-pick, this is Junk splashing red for Lightning Bolt

But it feels like Jund.

i feel like you should pal Courser of Kruphix or Scavenging Ooze

Jund describes the colors, not how the deck feels. And splashing means a small amount of that color, not half the deck which is what you have with white. This is Junk splashing red for Lightning Bolt . I probably sound like I'm coming off as a terminology snob but terminology is there for a reason. It is a nice deck though so +1

+1 but is having red in here realy worth it jusr for Lightning Bolt ?

Check out the sideboard. That has a decent amount of red in it, if I do say so myself.

so if I make an Esper control deck and splash red for Lightning Bolt and then put some red in the sideboard it becomes American?

No. You can't change whether a deck is American, Canadian, or anywhere else by adding Lightning Bolt to it. This thing plays like any other Modern Jund deck around. It smashes face with brutal, efficient cards. Vice versa on what you said. If you build a Jund deck, but splash White, it doesn't become Junk. When you add more white, it still doesn't change. The basis on the ground of the deck is of how it was meant to play. This was supposed to be Jund, ruthless while resourceful, and has the colors to prove it.

well the primary colors are Junk colors sooo yeah. The labels are to describes the colors used, not how the deck feels. That is literally like making a black deck that deals direct damage with hastey creatures and calling it Red Deck Wins

No it isn't. The colors have a feel to them. Now, there are decks that are of that color and decks that are of that feel and the colors. You can have a Jund tokens deck, a token deck just Jund colors, or a Jund deck that smashes face, using creatures to their fullest potential. In this case, it is a Jund deck that smashes face, but uses white to it's advantage.

As Spazik008 said before,

Playing this deck very much feels like being in the shoes on an expert gladiator or professional swordsman. Jund is a plug-and-play robot, more accurately a cyborg of death and destruction. The "answers" need to change according to threats.

That is the ground this deck is built on. The white follows the motto.

"Jund is one of five shards of Alara. It is primarily red-aligned, with black and green as secondary colors."

That is the definition of Jund from the MTG Salvation wiki...this deck is not primarily red. I rest my case.

mmy bad dint notice

clarified a bit in description. Jund is one of the 5 original shards of Alara, Red and it's allies, green and black. This color combination over the years has given rise to the popular strategy/archetype of heavy hitting creatures (green) and a healthy dose of disruption (red and black).

Many people use the term "Jund" to describe a deck which plays similarly. Although synergy is important, the focus is clearly on power.
