A new Jund value based deck, hope you guys like it! I've been testing and tweaking it a lot recently, and I've liked how it turned out. This deck is pretty expensive, to cut it's cost I would of course cut the land base first, then stuff like Arlinn Kord
, Kolaghan's Command, maybe Relentless Dead; however Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is what makes the deck really strong, so it's best not to cut it.
The Cards:
Creatures
Relentless Dead: Why am I running Relentless Dead with no other zombies in the deck? It is simply just a really good 2 drop. It is tough for your opponent to block early, it is an infinite blocker past turn 3, it synergies with itself for value late-game. It's just everything this deck could ever want from a 2 drop, and more. Four slots because it gets more powerful the more of it you have.
Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet: This guy is great, you typically only to play him on turn 5 or 6 with a removal spell in hand so you get some value out of him if they kill him. When they don't kill him immediately s when it gets fun, you shut down any recurring creatures, gain tons of value through tokens, and he gains you tons of life very quickly. He thrashes aggressive creature decks with the life gain, and deals with mid-late game creature decks with the zombies. Late game he works really well with Relentless Dead through the recursion, and can survive Languish with only one trigger of his ability. Overall a very powerful card that has good interactions with other cards in the deck, and even though it is legendary it deserves three slots.
Goblin Dark-Dwellers: Pretty much all of our kill and draw spells cost 3 or less, getting to re-cast them for free is great. On top of the value it grants it has pseudo evasion in the form of menace, and a relatively large body. A good card overall great for value, does't survive languish though, so we run 2 copies.
Planeswalkers
Arlinn Kord
: This card is great, it creates tokens, kills creatures, has a mini Overrun, can give haste and power buff, and lastly it can give all your creatures a Gruesome Slaughter effect. It just does so much for the mana cost, it is also great when followed up with Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet for the life-gain. It generates tons of value, makes our creatures tough to block, and makes our attacks risk free if it doesn't die. We are in the colors for it there is no reason for our deck to not run 2-3 of her.
