Nice deck, and I can see why Underworld Cerberus won't get an inclusion. He would conflict with what Scavenging Ooze
and Varolz, the Scar-Stripped can do.

Yep, that's precisely why I didn't put him in JWiley129 although in the right deck he's really good.

@Unforgivn_II Check it out, new planeswalker in da house.
Xenagos, seems just perfect for this deck, are you planning on using him?

Not in mine. I don't use Savageborn Hydra so I can't quite utilize his +1. I suppose his 0 is similar to Garruk, Primal Hunter 's +1 from current Jund, but his ult isn't as good since my deck is heavily removal based.
As far as Theros goes, I don't know what I'm gonna add quite yet. I'm thinking of other good decks (Purphoros + Assemble the Legion /New Elspeth in some sort of R/W/x Control). Once the set is fully spoiled I'll be able to assess any meta changes I'll need to make. Destructive Revelry will be important though.

What about Manaweft Sliver in place of the Zhur-Taa Druid , the ping is nice, but I think with three colors, having more flexibility with your dorks is better.

It's worth considering, i'm also considering replacing him with Burning-Tree Emissary
I think i'll give Zhur-Taa Druid a shot though, the ping damage can be a game winner.

Have You considered the new Sylvan Caryatid from theros, instead of Zhur-Taa Druid ?

I have McFuzwuffers I was advised my priorities needed to be checked when I was considering a defender in an aggro deck, and that comment was right, my aggro deck needs to be aggressive.

That's true. I was just gonna say that having mana fixing could be of more use than swinging with a 1/1. More often than not a 1/1 will die more often than a 0/3 hexproof.

Schuesseled says... #11
Yes, but i wouldn't be swinging, simply tapping for mana, and pinging my opponent. Thanks for the suggestion McFuzwuffers

@Unforgivn_II Updated, I really like Mistcutter Hydra for my sideboard, and i'm taking Varolz, the Scar-Striped out, I don't think he fits with the deck well enough.

Yeah, that hydra is ridiculous. I'll probably pick a few up for my casual mono green ramp deck. The haste is perfect for your deck too. May I suggest Thoughtseize in the sideboard? In case you face control. Supreme Verdict and Sphinx's Revelation can be backbreaking... Or at the very least, Duress .

I'll put them in, if I can get them in trades, still need to get the planeswalkers as well.

Dang. Domri has climbed. I got mine when they were 12 dollars. Well, one of them. I pulled the other. But Duress is just a common, you can play that until you get the Thoughtseize s

I was. Able to get the one I needed for a mutavault and a garruk, primal hunter, now u juat xenagos and the new hydras
September 13, 2013 9:31 p.m.
@Schuesseled hey i noticed you're not running any sideboard enchantment or artifact removal besides Abrupt Decay and Putrefy in the mainboard have you considered any other spells for sideboard say like something that counters Burning Earth i know Naturalize is the standard artifact and enchantment spell but what other recommendations would you prefer if you had to sideboard something to deal with B.E.??!? thanks xD!
p.s. recommend cards after post-rotation thanks!

@WizKerr, I have Golgari Charm and Slaughter Games as well.
I take it you are making a similar deck?
September 15, 2013 3:53 p.m.
Why is there a picture of Infested Kerrigan in the deck description? Btw I Love the deck, this jund counters thing is such a cool build. +1!
September 15, 2013 5:58 p.m.
@Schuesseled Yeah this deck list really intrigues my expectations post rotation i really like the synergy you have with the Hydra Squad and Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch and i'm just dying to try this at my FNM! Btw i also forgot to mention Golgari Charm and Slaughter Games as well but it seems like you're deck list is really good and flexible for post rotation my only concern are the new Theros cards that will maybe adjust this deck! I was told that Mistcutter Hydra isn't that good for being a 5 drop for a 4/4 also that it will most likely be unplayable but i disagree and i feel it will a godlike addition to this deck list! For my last question what decks during your play testing have you lost to? Is control your worst match up or is it just flyer decks that beat you the most example Angel of Serenity ?!?! Thanks xD!

thanks RePTiLE, and mostly just because it looked cool :P
Whoever told you that WizKerr, doesn't know what they are talking about, against a control deck, a late game 5/5,6/6,7/7,8/8,9/9, however high you can get it, with haste, that can't be countered or targeted with blue spells is pretty devastating.
I've only done a couple of playtests, and i didn't lose any of them. I do need to do some more though, if you wanted to help out, please be my guest and let me know how this deck does ;).
This deck is original, offers a lot of synergy, it's powerful and should be real fun to play.
September 15, 2013 6:47 p.m.
@Schuesseled Have you had any thought about adding Madcap Skills or Gruul War Chant in this deck at all it would seem pretty dumb to get either on the field and attack with your Savageborn Hydra ?! If you had to remove any sideboard card to add in either of those 2 enchantments which one would it be?! thanks xD

Magma Jet seems like it might be good to try and fit in. I plan on building something similar to this, I'll let you know how this goes.

Schuesseled says... #24
That would be cool to see armedpp, make sure to give me the link when it's up.
I'm not certain Magma Jet is right for this deck, I already have good destroy spells, although scry could be nice.
I hadn't planned on including either of those WizKerr but if I was going to I would remind either Pithing Needle or Glaring Spotlight for them.

@Schuesseled Hey dude i play tested this deck a lot at the theros pre release and found out that Xenagos, The Reveler wasnt that great since all my mana dorks or other small creatures would jus be taken out before i could use his +1 ability so i managed to open Nylea, God of the Hunt and i realized that even though she is an enchantment she gives my creatures trample and the only way to get rid of her is exiling her by Detention Sphere plus most of my creatures give her enough devotion besides Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch , and Domri Rade +1 actually works on her too which is awesome!!! so next week i'm going to try running 2 copies of her instead of Xenagos and see how it goes wish me luck!!
p.s. What are your thoughts on putting 3 Temple of Abandon instead of the 3 basic forest you have!?!? also what do you think of Bow of Nylea does it have a spot for itself in this deck!? let me know man and gl dude!!!
