@ simplehands the only lands i could replace my Overgrown Tomb and Blood Crypt with would be mountains and forests, (well i suppose there are the gruul guildgates, but no just no.) which they already are. And let's not forget most of my sideboard is black cards.

I honestly like your deck and think it is a very competitive fast and/or midrange deck that is top tier. Mine is gruul currently and im thinking of splashing black in sideboard and making it jund just to deal with the over powered pack rats. Thoughts?

@teamplayerx In my opinion black makes gruul stronger. As long as you have the right mana base to support some kill spells and the awesome Golgari Charm 's and Slaughter Games and Whip of Erebos in your sideboard. shoot me a link to your deck.

HALITOSIS: Kill an opponent with Stormbreath Dragon 's monstrosity ability.

PLEASE SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?: Kill all 3 (or more) of your opponent's creatures with Polukranos, World Eater 's monstrosity ability without Polukranos dying.

HE'S JUST A KID: Cast all 3 Domri Rade s in one game.

GOTCHA: Cast Boon Satyr for its bestow cost to save a creature you control in response to a removal spell and win that game.

RECKLESS ABANDON: Using Temple of Abandon 's ETB ability, look at Temple of Abandon as the top card of your library.

Cool challenges MagicalHacker, i'll try to accomplish them

No Ghor-Clan Rampager ? Those guys would be awesome in here. Either get a 4 mana 4/4 trample (which is pretty efficient) or end the game for 2 mana. Maybe remove some Flame-Wreathed Phoenix for them; I think the phoenix is a bit too slow.

@ TitansFTW. He's a crummy 4 drop, i suppose for limited he's good as a 4-drop meets the p/t check and all that. But it's not enough for constructed play, if he was going in this deck it would be only as a 2 mana combat trick, I already have Abrupt Decay 's for that, along with Boon Satyr and Putrefy . I don't think I need it, where as gruul probably would. I'll keep your suggestion in mind though, i did use to have it in here way back when.

I think the phoenix is great, need to get some games in with this brew to find out for sure though.

This deck is really impressive!

This deck is beautiful. Jund is still alive baby! I'm going to make my own version/versions, built either to wreck control (so Thoughtsieze, Underworld Connections, and mainboarded Slaughter Games) and another just with cards that I have (probably subbing Savageborn Hydra in for something, maybe fitting in a Kalonian or 2). Love it, love it, love it! +1

Thanks guys, @ SSJRanulf if you upload the list on to tapped out, make sure you shoot me a link. I'll happily have a peak.

So...you're playing Gruul splashing black for 6 removal and calling it Jund? The fact that you run Flame-Wreathed Phoenix over Desecration Demon eliminates this as an actual Jund deck.

This deck is looking more solid than ever. Fanatic of Xenagos and Flame-Wreathed Phoenix make the deck even more nasty for BNG standard. I just switched up my list, Jund Standard (1st @ fnm x3 if anyone cares) . Check it out man.

@trentfaris242 I used to run Lotleth Troll and Dreg Mangler , but I found the troll was clumsy alongside Burning-Tree Emissary , Fanatic of Xenagos recently replaced mangler, simply because it's better. And as for Desecration Demon , he would be rubbish in my deck. The fact is I'd have to be a complete bellend to even consider putting him in. If you can't figure out why then I feel genuine pity for you.

Besides which my deck has more black in it than you are seeing, I have those extra fifteen cards, eight of which are black.

@Epicbatman Will do man. Those cards are super blitzy! < New word.

Dig the new word

@trentfaris242 Desecration Demon puts nowhere near the pressure on most decks like a Flame-Wreathed Phoenix does. And he can call it whatever he wants, look at the sideboard and see why it's Jund you Cotton-Headed Ninnymuggins.

I got your back Schuesseled!!!!!

Appreciate it.

NastyNate knows his Jund baby!

Desecration Demon rules the skies in control, yuck, decks. Let him stay there.

Personally liking -3 Putrefy and +3 Hero's Downfall Double black is worth it for the instant speed planeswalker destruction to me :)

Maybe Prehstun, but i like Putrefy too, can't be regenerated is an important factor.

I shouldn't have too much trouble beating planeswalkers to death.

I had that same issue in deciding when I was playing my Golgari Rock deck: Golgari Breaks Face It was a super tough decision so I eventually just SB'd 2 Putrefy and mainboarded Hero's Downfall Then again, my meta is mostly control so the downfall would be obvious for me.

Nice deck though! +1'd :) Love me some Jund!

Upon looking through your mainboard and sideboard choices I see that you change out scooze in every match-up for either Whip of Erebos or in the case of low cmc aggro Anger of the Gods . wouldn't it make more sense to run Whip of Erebos in your mainboard an take it out for Anger of the Gods when the need arises? Of course I am most likely missing your reason for using scooze first game, but never a game after.

The deck wants the creature density in game one all the time, and scooze is a good early game threat and can be played off BTE. Game 1 is all about executing your decks plan as best you can independent of what the opponent is running. Either of the cards you mention are dead draws in a fair amount of matchups, but very useful in others, which is why they are in the sideboard, so you can use them in games 2 and 3 when you have the relevent information to decide if they are useful.

@ SasukeUchiha Well firstly my choices for main or side is mostly theoretical at the moment.As I haven't yet had the chance to play the deck in a competitive setting i'm not sure of what my meta looks like and what siding choices i'll be making on a regular basis and whence the final layout of my deck.

And scooze works well in the first game for the reasons armedpp outlines. In the first match if my opponent is also running a lot of creatures and there are a lot of dudes hitting the graveyards then he can win the game for me very quickly and if such a situation isn't likely then he comes out for something more useful in game 2 when i know what i'm up against.

Whip of Erebos is a strong mainboard option...but it has a few issues

a) does nothing for xenagos's devotion count

b) isn't a creature so probably can't help by chumping or attacking the turn it comes out, and if there are no creatures in the graveyard then it's a really awful draw in some situations.

It's a great side in choice for use against slow paced decks where the lifelink and later creature retrieval can extend my game to match theirs should the game drag on.

Thanks for coming to comment on my deck, let me know if you have any other advice.

I guess that does make sense. I don't really like most of the tribute cards, as they have some really annoying problems. If your opponent has a Stormbreath Dragon he can just bring in your Flame-Wreathed Phoenix as a 3/3 block, and not care if you get it back, as he can keep blocking. If you face control or aggro/decks with little to no fliers, then you will almost be guaranteed a 5/5 that will just get shot down with a kill spell. I do like Fanatic of Xenagos of the other hand, because either way it stays ahead of the curve. If you get a 4/4 haste for a turn (3/3 trample later), or a 4/4 trample to swing next turn, each way it is a bargain for 3. The phoenix has troubles, because unless they can block it, in a two turn radius the 5/5 will give them the least grief, and the ability to get the removal they require. I did take a look through other 4CMC jund cards (that you don't have) and the only acceptable changes would be Deadbridge Goliath (for the ability to buff something later) or Ghor-Clan Rampager (who is great for game winning combat tricks, especially against control). I guess Flame-Wreathed Phoenix might have to stick around until a suitable replacement comes around, but I am no enthralled with him for the time being.

Dude, you're forgetting Reaper of the Wilds . It may not be good in his deck, because it is more aggressive, which is also why Deadbridge Goliath is not the right choice.
