The Reid Duke BUG deck plays a tempo + Wasteland approach, too.

I'm not drumming up sympathy, I'm just stating a fact. You know this as well as I do. It also has nothing to do with being willing to discuss my ideas, because I always do. I just already know that...

That's valid, but what countermagic are we talking about? If you really need the Loam, Daze isn't going to counter it if you leave 1 open, and at 3 mana sources, Spell Snare isn't going to counter...

I can see how Burning Wish into Loam is slow, especially when so much of the format was running Spell Snare. Those lists were also running 4 Wish and 3 Loam for maximum consistency for finding Loam....

This is unrelated to the Mox discussion, but I was just wondering why... if in Jund colors... people play 4 Loam's and no Entomb. This must have been discussed somewhere before, but I really don't...

Whether or not discard is the appropriate means of protection/disruption is definitely debatable, but the fact that this deck has a light threat density and little to no protection/disruption is not....

I think the problem right now with Aggro Loam is its composition. The name is actually kind of misleading. Aggro Loam is actually a midrange aggro/control deck, not a midrange aggro deck. A...

If you did some brainstorming, I'm sure you'd come up with a solution.

The hatebear plan isn't any worse than sideboarding 3 discard spells, though.

I'm not trying to offend the guys that sware by Jund, but I really think Naya is the way to go in the current metagame right now. GSZ and Knight of the Reliquary are a huge improvement to your aggro...

Wow. I was in the middle of posting while you guys responded, but I really like the idea of GSZ in here. Turning this deck into a mashup of Maverick and Aggro Loam isn't a bad idea, considering how...

Perish hits your own guys too, though. What matchups do you really need Perish for? Against RUG, Knight is going to be just as good for you against them as Perish, unless they nuts you with quad...

If you're not happy with black removal, you could go into white for Knight and Plow and cut black... I still don't get the obsession with Confidant in a format with and over-abundance of spot removal...

Exactly, and discard makes sure Assault resolves. I'm all aboard the discard train for Jund Aggro Loam, despite popular opinion.

I'm also really digging the Modern list that won the GP. He ran...

Has Flame Jab been discussed? I ask because I just saw that Aggro Loam won a Modern GP. I know Modern is different than Legacy, but there are alot of targets for Flame Jab early, it can be dredged...

I see absolutely no reason to drop Assault. That's one of the main reasons for even playing Aggro Loam. At the point where you drop Crusher too, you'd be much better off cutting red altogether and...

You cast Intuition once to grab Loam, cast Loam once to have enough lands, and then cast Worm Harvest for some 1/1's tokens for stability. Not sure how that's a blackhole worth of tempo loss,...

AZ, I've done that all before, and spent more words than I'd like to waste again, because it was all for naught. I'd articulate the idea if I thought it was going to get fruitful results, but I'm...

I didn't mean to come off as an ass in my last response, but I had a bit of a buzz last night. Anyway, I'm going not going to push the issue any further. I like the blue splash, you guys don't, I get...

I remember why I quit posting in this thread. I guess Burning Wish getting Spell Snare'd is worse than Dark Confidant getting Snare'd, since they both cost 2 mana and 1 card. I guess casting...

So slow compared to what? Dropping a Dark Confidant and drawing 1 additional card every turn? I mean, if it survives, you're looking at a few turns until it generates enough card advantage to be on...

My list from back in 2011, for reference:

R/G/u Aggro Loam

// Lands (24)
4 [ON] Wooded Foothills
3 [ZEN] Scalding Tarn
1 [ZEN] Misty Rainforest
4 [R] Taiga
1 [R]...

I'm still assuming you never tried it, either. Trying to run Dark Confidant in a format filled with Lightning Bolts just doesn't seem fruitful, and you are seriously underestimating what blue offers....

The BUG list is cool too, I had a thread in N&D called The Mind Harvester that seems to have disappeared, but BUG is a pure control deck, whereas the RUG list I'm talking about is still very much...

Is there still no love for the blue splash? Brainstorm and Intuition do so much for the deck, Ruins + EE does just about everything you would need Maelstrom Pulse for, and you even get Spell Pierce...
