I think 3 games, and all I remember is him slowly but surely losing life. Quite a bit of the life loss being from Sign in Blood and Underworld Connections. If the deck actually does something, it seems to be really inconsistent. | ||

People really just need to stop with MB, the game against GWT was hilarious, cast all the spells you need to cast and still lose when any other deck running those same cards would have just won handily from there. Speaking of which, it use to be that the people on MWS who played Jund were competent, then comes these netdeckers who can cast not 1 but 2 Rakdos's Return and still lose because its like lets dump more cards into the field and lose to Verdict. GJ kiddies. | ||

I mean, I'm not looking to go to Pro Tour with this, I'm thinking local stuff, so probably some great decks, but not automatically amazing players, or perfect decks. From what I've seen it's more solid as Midrange, can be made to work as aggro but you are probably better off with just Red Deck Wins that splashes one extra color for more consistency in comparison. | ||

When you say RGB do you mean Jund or RUG? | ||

The problem is that it requires quite an expensive manabase to use, so you might not be able to do it. It's seen play in tournaments recently. Here's an example of the deck: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=53102 | ||

I mean I would totally hoard all Esper foils for a deck that may or may not exist 2 years ahead of time. | ||

That looks both better than I was afraid, and worse than I was hoping, regarding difficulty to put together. | ||

Its just stupid good in bant humans (3 mana draw 5+ usually), and running more 2drop humans would give me more flexibility with Immortal Servitude... | ||

http://deckstats.net/deck-1985570-28b4e3484934039c92873bd88213179d.html That's the one I was thinking about putting together last night, before getting the Experiment Jund list. Although I think my curve was shit and my Instant/Sorceries had a little too much "Ooh shiny" and a little too little "Here's why" to it. | ||

Out of curiosity, what was the plan to actually kill your opponent? Jarad I'm definitely less than sure about, my main thought for him was to give me a cheap bomb against another creature-centric deck if I'm having to trade a lot. How does the list look as far as ability to at least take some matches? Like, would it get me anywhere in a local standard tournament, or is it too weak/slow/something? | ||
