Geralf's Messenger & Jund
Deck Help forum

I'm running a Jund build right now that has proved pretty successful. I;m wondering if there is a place in it to include card:Geralf's Messenger, though. I like the card a lot, and I think it may work with the deck, but the triple black cmc is pretty greedy for a three color build. And in the mana base I;m running 10 out of 25 source that can't produce black at all. Hee is the link to the build. deck:jund-18-02-13-10
yea, the only issue i see with that is that it would make the Cavern of Souls i used to cast it a dead card once i cant card:Geralf's Messenger since it is the only zomnie in the build if I include it. I will playtest with it for a while and see if it matters. thanks for the advice though.

With the Shock-Lands and Farseek , I think you are probably okay to use card:Geralf's Messenger.
Cavern of Souls for a creature type you only have one of may be a little bit of a waste... but most of your other spells/creatures can use colorless mana, so it wouldn't be horrible.

played with card:Geralf's Messenger in there as a 2 of at FNM tonight. Made the top 4 and lost to a Junk midrange that was just outmatching my creatures. It was really the Angel of Serenity s that were wiping me out. But, card:Geralf's Messenger did perform as desired when he hit the board.

I feel with the mana base shown on your deck list, it would be reasonable to include card:Geralf's Messenger. However, you may need to use Cavern of Souls to cast it on occasion.
