Should I build a Naya Human deck or a Jund Aggro?
I really like these 2 color combinations and was thinking which of them could be funnier (and stronger).Every opinion appreciated!
Thanks!

the deck runs for one drops, Experiment One and Rakdos Cackler . It follows u with Burning-Tree Emissary into Mogg Flunkies and Flinthoof Boar . The high end is Dreg Mangler and Falkenrath Aristocrat
As for spells, you can use some burn like Searing Spear , or Dreadbore , Ultimate Price , or Abrupt Decay . rounding out the noncreature spells is Ghor-Clan Rampager (ok he can be a spell, but most of the time, no)
Land base is pretty standard 3 colors, you shouldn't have any mana issues with this deck.
Mogg Flunkies can be replaced with Crimson Muckwader if you so desire.

I vote Naya Humans. It's probably the fastest deck in the format right now with tons of removal. Turn one Champion of the Parish into two Burning-Tree Emissary and Flinthoof Boar or Searing Spear is just bonkers.

The only stipulation for that, sylvannos is that you have a shock land with white to play turn 1. Otherwise Burning-Tree Emissary will have to wait until turn 3.

cartwheelnurd is right, Jund is surely more resilient, great removal coming from Black and hasty monsters like Falkenrath Aristocrat and Dreg Mangler .
Naya, on the other hand, allows the crazy 7 damage hit on the second turn, with turn 1 Champion of the Parish (or Boros Elite ), turn 2 Burning-Tree Emissary followed by the free Lightning Mauler . Things get even crazier with the turn 3 Mayor of Avabruck Flip and a Giant Growth on one of the attackers...
Jund has more answers to possible threats and Naya is all about fast threats...
Both are great and I'm a real fan of aggro decks... It's like having to choose which son lives... I wish I could have them both...

@acbooster: Not hard when the deck runs four Temple Garden and four Sacred Foundry . You'd probably mulligan if you didn't have a turn one play with either land.

naya humans is the best aggro proabaly. it is really explosive and fast. Jund aggro is good too and its harder to lose if the opponent drops a Supreme Verdict . D you want incredible speed or slightly more resilience but still a ton of power?
