Jund Depths

[Manroe]

I just want to point out that you can totally play a combo of bloodghast and nether spirit successfully. I notice people typically do one or the other, but I've found 1 spirit and 2-4 bloodghast is very solid, since the spirit can block in a pinch, and bloodghast is good at getting out of the yard so spirit can go to work.

Yeah, this is something I have debated myself. I'm wanting to get back to a more typical pox style list. I'm pretty sold on a copy or two of dreadbore in the 75. Seems too good to not include.

[Manroe]

Looking for help coming up with a sideboarding and match-up primer, anyone willing to help?

[lithiux]

This deck just played one of the sweetest matches of Magic that I have ever seen on the SCG stream.

[Megadeus]

Twas an awesome game. But like, build a deck around loam, entomb, and punishing fire and not have a single out to a resolved rest in peace? Seriously?

[lithiux]

He had one Ray of Revelation the announcers had said. I agree that no Abrupt Decays (seems to me to be the best RiP defense) in the 75 is weird.

[Megadeus]

Didn't catch that. But yeah I'd totally be playing decay

we have a winner

Is Phyrexian Ingester just to bring in versus show and tell? Or is there some interaction I'm missing?

It's Anti-S&T tech.

I'm more suprised that he beat ANT in the Seminfinals.

[Megadeus]

Oh yes. My new favorite deck ever. Wathcing this deck operate is amazing

[Manroe]

Wonder if Kennen had seen this thread ;). Regardless, is kind of cool to see a deck so similar to my brew doing so well. Props to Mr. Haas!

[KazinMtg]

We're in the finals guys! Hope he wins, this is awesome.

[lithiux]

This deck is so beautiful. Wasteland locks. Pitching Squee, Goblin Nabob to Smallpox. Thespian Stage copying Karakas bouncing his own Squee to blank a Mother of Runes going after his Liliana. Dunking all over this trash UWR Delver field.

It's... it's wonderful.

[Manroe]

Seems crazy to me because in my honest opinion... his sideboard sucks. But man this is impressive.

[Megadeus]

Announcers talking about how the Jund Lands deck is pretty affordable because it doesnt have blue duals or fetches. You know. Except for the 2 Tabernacles in the deck

Good thing 2x Tabernable only costs like 7 bucks on MODO. I'm so tempted to build this.

[Manroe]

We need to get Kennen in here. Congrats Kennen!!

[Megadeus]

That dredge into tabernacle was epic. Is this where tabernacle shoots up to a billion dollars?

[lithiux]

It's already up over $400 on TCGplayer. I don't think this deck is for everyone, so I wouldn't worry about the price moving too much.

I really, really cannot overstate how wonderful it was to watch him dumpster that UWR Delver deck. God I love Legacy.

[HammafistRoob]

Thanks for making me look like an idiot whichever mod moved this.

This deck looks very solid in the current meta if not a little soft to fast combo, although he did take down AnT in the top 4 somehow. I'm not sold on some of the numbers and would likely do a little tweaking if I were to play the deck but I believe Mr. Haas is on to something with this.

Rest in Peace can definitely be an issue but it's far from game ending. What do you think?
