MTG Salvation

This is the list I'm trying out with the new cards:



I'm hoping to achieve some land destruction with AT, GQ, Wrenn and Six, and Pillage in certain matchups. Sometimes I have to mulligan because of the mana base but with the new mulligan rule it hasn't been too bad in play testing.

Looks fun, only thing I would recommend is use fulminator instead of pillage, easier on mana base and also a body.

Do you guys have any thoughts about Hexdrinker in Jund ?

Even having one Ghost Quarter is extremely greedy. Having two in that mana base is just ridiculous.

I agree about qhost quarter. I think a spicy single could be a risk some want to take, especially if running 3 or 4 wrenn and six but with only two wrenn and six in the main, I would go with none. Perhaps have one is the sideboard if you want to have something against tron or amulet. Otherwise, the list looks pretty cool, some interesting sideboard cards. Looking forward to hearing how you do.

Hexdrinker appears to be performing well in Jund, but I’m not sure if it’s better than Nimble Mongoose. I just have to do more play testing in general. I think I definitely have to add Collector Ouphe to my sideboard with affinity, Tron, and Grixis Urza running around.

Reid posted a list on channel fireball that runs no Bobs, 2 Seasoned Pyromancers, and 4 Bloodbraid Elves.

No Bob Multi Wrenn builds are actually the latest trend in Modern Jund builds, both online and in paper. As much as Wrenn and Six has tended to disappoint me in my testing of her in Jund, Bob matches up poorly against her, Lava Dart, and Gut Shot.

I’m working on a build that has 2 Wrenn and 4 Bobs. We have discard to protect Bob, and Goyf matches up poorly against Fatal Push. I’ve always found that “x dies to removal” is a bad argument, and Bob can help us gain card advantage and find our sideboard cards in games 2 and 3.

Also, Wrenn is a woman?

The biggest problem with Dark Confidant is that he matches up poorly against the meta right now, as mentioned. "X dies to removal" is relevant when the removal is reusable and/or free and is highly prevalent in the meta game due to three of the most popular decks (Jund, Mono Phoenix, UR Phoenix)
W6 opens up options like main board Barren Moor and allowing lower land count. It upgrades your Lightning bolt so it can potentially take out Thing in the Ice, TKS or a 3/4 Tarmogoyf. Her ultimate makes Lightning bolt a win condition.

Has anyone tried Vraska, Golgari Queen? I saw David Mines ran one in his MC IV list but in the coverage I watched he only cast it once. She seems powerful and on point with what we're trying to do (with W6, etc)

I'm on something very similar. Won 2 of my last 3 modern FNM's, in the third the room was over 50% Tron and I still broke 50/50.

I'm playing something like this (might be off by a card or two)


Sideboard changes quite a bit.

Can I have your feedback about Barren Moor ? I was tempted to add one or two cycle lands but never tried, how did you perform with them ?

I like a split with Peatland. One thing I really like with them, is that they are extra cards with Wrenn without halting your land drops. I've liked the 2/2 split but it's possible 1 makes more sense, of course I'm running 25 lands so that second is cutting into a spell slot.

Alright, thanks for your feedback, I'll give it a try

I've been running 2 Peatland alongside 1 Barren Moor & 1 Tranquil thicket. Had more problems with Peatland dealing me too dmg than I've had with the cycle lands and their ETB tapped

Anyone have thoughts on running a 1 of murderous rider in Jund? I think it has potential but I’m not quite sure yet. Will probably test one after set release.

Wow! This thread isn't very active anymore. I haven't payed much attention to Modern in the last six months or so, and I notice the metagame has changed quite a bit with bannings and new printings. Although I'm not a Jund player (my pet deck has long been Assault/Loam), I figure the two decks have a ton in common nowadays with Wrenn and Six. Anyway, I was hoping my friends here on the Jund forum could answer an all-important question for me.

Is Modern currently a Lightning Bolt or a Fatal Push format?

What do I mean by this? Well, if you had say six slots would you split it 4-2 in one direction or the other or just go 3-3?

Also, what really needs killing? I notice a bunch of newish cards like Emrys, Urzas, Ice-Fang Coatls, Uros, as well as all the rest of the usual suspects: Death's Shadows, Primeval Titans, Goblin Guides and co., three different U/W planeswalkers, Jund creatures, Humans, Eldrazi, etc... Obviously, neither Bolt or Push are great against some of these.

For what it's worth, I notice Reid Duke opted for 4 Bolt, 2 Push in his latest video (a list I think he said he said Willy Edel used to top-8 a challenge). Maybe that configuration was specific to his list though, Idk.
