Jund is a great deck no doubt but playing against it is the most frustrating thing ever, it has answers to everything when its in a tight spot and its aggressive when it wants to be. it plays the best lowest CC cards that have the most dangerous effect that can easily be played off the back of casade in the form of bloodbraid elf. bloodbraid elf gives the deck the advantages is needs to put it ahead in a big way.
On October first we all say goodbye to shards of alara block and with it goes the deck that was the most hated of the block, Jund... I fucking hate Jund.
Strength one of the deck is cascading into maelstrom pulse shuts down everything and is reason one of why i hate this deck.destroy target nonland permenent! serious!? and the card is fucking free off the elf. This weekend i went to the Channelfireball 5K and watched my friend michael Sohn play his variant of jund and when put into an awkard spot in which he would be down creatures, his out would be pulse. pulse will single handedly put you on top of your game when your down
This is the second reason i hate jund, Blightning. what can you say about this little combo of Elf into Blightning. you take three damage or it hits your planeswalker THEN you discard two cards. what more can you hate about that.
the deck itself is a powerhouse no matter how you put it even though i feel like the geopede jund is the weakest out of the varients. i really like that some decks came up with alternate builds with cards like grave titans, slave of bolas, ramp cards and sarkhan the mad. i am sure that this deck will be missed my many but i am not going to one of those people and i look forward to new standard and i for one welcome the artifact overlords that will soon make up standard...maybe
