Mizzium Mortars would be a nice addition.

Looks pretty solid overall, did you forgot to put up your sideboard, or do you need help with it? +1

Forgot the sideboard, thanks! Well, I'd always appreciate any suggestions from others.Go wild with suggestions, nothing's off limits.

I see the point of Mizzium Mortars , especially against midrange decks.

Does it taste like raisins?

Only if you give it a lick.

Thinking of changing a lot of my sorceries to instants. Stuff like Murder , Searing Spear , Brimstone Volley , Ultimate Price . I realise that the deck dies to aggro because I can't respond to them on their turn, killing stuff when they tap out.

The base deck right now doesn't have unbeatable matchups, so the changes could very well be for the sideboard.The toughest matchup is probably the Naya-midrange deck, and a bunch of instant removal would really mess up their gameplan.

Thoughts?

Now this deck is pretty good... But, does it turn into a plane?

Deetoz says... #8

Yeah, it actually does... But only if you stroke its mane.!

I would drop the card:Devil's Play and one rakdos return for 3 Rakdos Keyrune . The keyrune would help against the naya deck in my opinion.

As to your sideboard, I would take out the 2 Lotleth Troll and Witchbane Orb . I can't think of any matchup they would be better than the things you have mainboard.If you are [having problems with Planeswalkers, I would also suggest cutting the Abrupt Decay from it as well, and another Dreadbore . Bramblecrush is also a good alternative for control matches as it hits important lands, keyrunes, and planeswalkers, as well as Detention Sphere .

I already have 2 Rakdos Keyrune in the mainboard. I might bump it up to 3. Problem is, the Naya deck usually packs threats with more than 3 toughness, so the Keyrune won't get them. I hear you on the Lotleth Troll and Witchbane Orb . The Orb was added because rumours were flying around in my area of an awesome Curse-based deck. That turned out to be wrong, so it's currently a dead card in the sideboard. Bramblecrush is very versatile, I'll give you that. I had totally forgotten it exists.

What do you think about cutting the two card:Devil's Play and Sever the Bloodline for 3 Searing Spear and 1 Ultimate Price ?

I would advise against having Searing Spear in your sideboard, since the main thing you need to kill that has 3 toughness is Thragtusk . Ultimate Price could be considered if decks you lose to have valid threats worth casting it on. The main things it will hit are Angel of Serenity , Restoration Angel , Thragtusk , Silverblade Paladin , and Sublime Archangel . It depends on your meta if those threats are more prevalent than Olivia Voldaren , Niv Mizzet, and Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip .

Some instant removal for a sideboard, a possibility I am considering is Plummet , as it hit a lot of potential threats. What are your thoughts on that?

insanerabbit says... #12

Haha, I am silly. I was thinking of a different person who I am giving opinions to, so ignore the first paragraph of that last comment .

It really depends on the meta of where you play at. If zombies or the Rakdos deck are played in your shop a lot, I would suggest Pillar of Flame over Searing Spear .

I would probably leave the Sever the Bloodline and remove a rakdos return instead. If you like having 3 against control, toss it to the board, but 3 main deck feels unnecessary and excessive.

Plummet is way too narrow in what it hits. I'd rather use Eaten by Spiders , even though it's a bit more expensive. It has the potential to go 2 for 1, which is awesome.My metagame is mostly G/x aggro decks, where the instant nature of Searing Spear really shines. If it's not G/x, it's Bant or Esper Control. In those matchups, Searing Spear will be 3 damage to a Planeswalker. Zombies are virtually non-existant there.Searing Spear also has the added bonus of being instant vs Pillar of Flame 's sorcery speed. That's a BIG bonus to me.

card:Rakdos's Return is usually never a dead draw, since it forces people to react immediately. Control decks HAS to counter it, allowing me to cast something else. Sever the Bloodline is usually dead vs control decks.. That's my main problem with Sever. If only it was instant :(

Dirty Jund

Hey man, with all the different jund decks flying around, you should take a gander at mine as well. I saw your comment from an hour ago, and you are correct with the Chandra, the Firebrand use. She is amazing and serves a very strong role in jund. Copying spells like Dreadbore , Farseek , rakdos return, and most importantly, Slaughter Games . She is devistating, and i would use her over Vraska the Unseen 10 out of 10 times.

Vos_Is_Boss says... #16

oops, card:Rakdos's Return link fail..

December 5, 2012 3:20 p.m.

Deetoz says... #17

Yeah, I'm considering taking out the keyrunes for 2x Chandra, the Firebrand . I guess that means I'll also have to add Slaughter Games to my maindeck, for more juicy targets for copying. Damn, I'll be heavy on the 4-spot.. :/

December 5, 2012 3:26 p.m.

Vos_Is_Boss says... #18

Rakdos Keyrune is a must keep. you need the ramp in this deck to play your better cards faster, and keep control of the board. I dont mainboard any Slaughter Games , but rather, save them for game two to call out what i lost to, or was scared by, the first game.

December 5, 2012 3:28 p.m.

Vos_Is_Boss says... #19

and +1 for using jund with the hilarious reference. :D

December 5, 2012 3:30 p.m.

Deetoz says... #20

I guess you're right. I'd also miss Rakdos Keyrune and Kessig Wolf Run combining to make a huge trampling and first striking dude after a boardwipe..

I take it you haven't had great use of Vraska the Unseen ? Because I've had great mileage from that card whenever she went on the field. Worst case scenario, she's a 5 mana Vindicate , best case, she wins you the game.

December 5, 2012 3:33 p.m.

Vos_Is_Boss says... #21

Oh, i have used her. I used to run 3 in my deck at the beginning of the release. (pulled a bunch from boxes :D) However, she felt way to slow, and if i were to use her +1, my opponent(s) (who at the time was running aggro) would just be like "Fine, i'll just attack you then." and eat me alive.

However, at that time, 90% of everyone and their mothers were running aggro, a few months later to today, it seems everyone at my store is at the midrange or control. Vraska the Unseen might be a little better now, but ive grown really accustomed to Chandra, the Firebrand and Garruk, Primal Hunter . The duo is crazy stupid. Draw 3 or more with Garruk, Primal Hunter , find a deadly spell to copy with Chandra, the Firebrand has been a combo that has proved incredible, and i'd hate to part with it.

But... i have also considered making this jund into a jund superfriends. Adding Vraska the Unseen , Garruk Relentless  Flip , and maybe Liliana of the Veil to make this deck super fun. But im not sure yet.

Deetoz says... #22

I'll take this deck to FNM next friday, where I'll post a match report. I'm kinda fearing a switch towards more aggro-decks in my meta, however..

What would you suggest taking out for 2x Chandra, the Firebrand ?

December 5, 2012 3:45 p.m.

Vos_Is_Boss says... #23

Well, if your meta is moving towards more aggro, i would consider taking out 1 Duress , because you have no 4-of's in your sideboard, and 1 Searing Spear or 1 Garruk, Primal Hunter , 3 green mana looks like it would be tough to get with your deck, or 1 Ultimate Price because its not good enough when you need it :P

December 5, 2012 3:56 p.m.

insanerabbit says... #24

If you want a Chandra, I would drop a Duress and either a rakdos return or Vraska the Unseen . Without mana ramp, the earliest you can expect to get use out of Chandra will be turn 5, which is the turn you can turn out Vraska, or Garruk. The question then becomes, what is the more important effect? Copying a spell, a vindicate, or making a 3/3?

Against aggro, Chandra isn't that great, as there aren't many creatures to have to block for the turn you play her. I'd suggest siding her for this reason, but the choice is yours .

Good luck with your FNM. I'm very curious to the results.

December 5, 2012 10:27 p.m.

Deetoz says... #25

I might have to rework the whole deck to make Chandra a more prominent figure in it. I do have a little bit of mana ramp in the deck in the form of Farseek .

Insanerabbit, your question of what's more important is quite hard to answer, since it obviously depends on the situation. I think that's why I want to have Chandra in the deck. It's more tools in the toolbox, which is a thing I absolutely love!

I think I'll cut 1 Duress and 1 Searing Spear for the two Chandra's during this FNM. If I don't like the results, then.. At least I tried ;)
