I have seen some pretty good cards spoiled in rtr that seem perfect fir jund, the three drop 3/3 haste with scavenge? The new terminate? I figured I would start a thread and see if anyone else spies some interesting or debatable cards.
I'm pretty excited about Dryad Militant. It seems like a pretty sweet, cheap threat to hate on snapcaster and storm shenanigans. It's easy to kill, definitely, but it's also easy to cast. What do y'all think?
EDIT: This is coming from a guy without goyfs, by the way, so of course I neglected that aspect, haha. My bad.

Lots of people dont have goyfs, so your not the only one. The dryad is a great sb card. It hoses, storm, gifts, second sunrise, some dredge and tokens. And it gets them on a fast clock. Its mostly a sb card, but an extremly good one.
The new troll make a new jund deck possible?
Is a zombie for Gravecrawler, is fast to Bloodghast, with the trample and regen make it nice for any midrange.
I think these cards would generally fit for jund..
Lotleth Troll, Deadbridge Goliath, Cryptborn Horror, Rakdos Lord of Riots, Rix Maadi Guildmage, Korozda Guildmage..
-and these cards may seem to be playable in a more combo way.. In a particular Jund colored decks, but more on aggro or combo, imho..
Thoughts about Ash Zealot? A 2/2 first strike and haste creature for RR.. And i think decks with Snapcaster Mage and Past in Flames will have a hard time with this card..
i don't think it is bad cascade either. Same goes for grim lavamancer. This could neutralize decks that runs KotR, Snappy. This could slow Aggro Loam decks. And Jund decks may run this dude if they didn't have Goyfs. They could just shrink the opponent's Goyfs. T2 LotV? T3 bloodbraid? Yes please.
I think the best cards Jund received were Abrupt Decay and Golgari Charm. Decay could possible push its way to a mainboard slot but the charm seems like a sideboard against some of the infinite creature decks.
Do you mean Rakdos Charm? Now that kicks opposing infinite creatures in the cojones. Destroying artifacts and exiling graveyards are nice, but there's Jund Charm and Ancient Grudge...
But yeah, I love Abrupt Decay. ...Except against Valakut and Tron. The best targets you can hit against those guys are Oblivion Stone and Khalni Heart Expedition (and Prismatic Omen if you get lucky--all the Valakut decks I've seen so far don't depend on the card).

Yea for some reason in my head those 2 were one card lol. I haven't done much testing against Valakut yet but hope to before GP Chicago
Abrupt decay is the only card that will make it to my main deck...probably as a 2 of with a third in tthe board (maybe even a 4th). It is a great card but much like inquisition you will still need another answer to hit the 4+ drops (maelstrom and terminate). That said im not sure what I will be removing to make room for them.
.
How good is abrupt decay versus delver? Spending 2 mana to kill their 1 drop is pretty miserable. It hits goyf and clique, but so does the other 2 mana removal spells. Combust is probably better than decay because it can hit restoration angel.
If there's a lot of twin, merfolk, delver and blue scapeshift decks I could see main decking this card.
I think you're better off sticking with a mix of terminate/jund charm/pulse in the main deck and having cards to deal with enchantments and artifacts in the sideboard.
Combust also can't hit Goyf or Bob, and those guys tend to be friends of Delver.
For Melira Pod, Decay also hits hate cards like Torpor Orb and Grafdigger's Cage and still hates on Exarch Twin. I've made the sideboard swaps and now rely on my own Linvala and critter-killing creatures to deal with opposing Linvalas.
I've already stuffed 3 Decays in my Jund list and I haven't regretted them yet. They do sting against UGr Scapeshift Combo (doesn't run Prismatic Omen), but they tend to sting against RG Artifact Tron and RG Valakut Ramp anyway, and they're fairly nice against all the other prominent decks.

Instant speed and uncounterable are two huge things going for it. We might be able to use fewer Combusts in the board now.

B Tap: Exile target instant or sorcery card from a graveyard. Each opponent loses 2 life.
G Tap: Exile target creature card from a graveyard. You gain 2 life.
I think I saw the first card I will actually pre-order from this set instead of just the boxes I purchased.

I suppose Golgari Charm is okay against Exarch Twin and Naya Pod, too (kills Pestermite, fogs Deceiver Exarch/Village Bell-Ringer, hits Splinter Twin), but it does nothing to infinite Restoration Angels or Zealous Conscripts. Its being the harmful half of Zealous Persecution is fine, but the Jund Charm argument comes up again.

The only non creature cards you care about that abrupt decay can kill are, pyromancer ascension, prismatic omen, cranial plating, and vedalken shackles. Am I missing anything?
