With the bans/unbans as they are, the sideboard may change a little; but it's mostly been a similar 75 for a while and has served me well over the years. I am going to keep the jund colors for the deck because I do believe that it is positioned well right now.
I am thinking about a small white splash for the Monastery Mentor, which I would cut my Bob's down a little (which I am thinking about doing anyways).
But if the meta is going to shift back to Twin and Affinity being the most popular, I like my chances. I have not lost to Twin yet and only have one loss against Affinity.
I like the idea of a Naya build, but I am too much in love with Abrupt Decay against Twin.
I completely agree. That's basically what I'm trying to figure out. Either a cheaper counterspell or one that cantrips but is slow and soft.
What's your thought on extra cantrips (Serum Visions and the like)? I do have Bob which I absolutely love in the deck because nothing costs more than 2.
This is my list for right now. Unfortunately, though, I haven't been able to play against any competitive decks with this. It does seem to work for me so far. I have been wanting to put in a 4th Spellskite for the most protection.
I have also thought about main-decking Swan Song's instead of Remand, but I'm not too sure, yet. Also am thinking about adding some more card draw.
Again, for the sake of being on my phone I will be short. The list is the same as above except -1 ravens crime +1 abrupt decay. Sb I had 3 anger of the gods, 3 rakdos charm, 2 thoughtseize, 2 maelstrom pulse, 1 ancient grudge, 1 engineered explosives (could only get 1 unfortunately) 1 I oK, 2 nihil spellbomb (I wanted surgical extraction in this place)
I am only running one manland and I want to up it by at least one. I have one raging ravine, should I add a second or go with a treetop village? Im leaning toward a second ravine.
P.S. I usually have pretty good luck against affinity. Just the random bad luck that night I guess.
I took my list to an fnm last night. It was small, 10 people. I went 3-1. I 2-0'ed a UG mill, UWR planeswalker prison type deck, and a BW d+t deck. I lost in the last round to affinity 1-2. Took second place. I should have beaten affinity but I couldn't draw my pressure in time. I was able to keep the board clear for most of the match though.
Im on my phone right now so ill leave it at that. Jund colors and my mana base is working out for me. i have a sideboard but am re-working it, hence my question.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on the deck list as well. Thanks for all your help.
They wouldn't be able to attack but they could still crew the vehicles.
Why gut shot? I have never tried it. What would be the reason for its inclusion? MD or SB?

I just played against krark-clan shaman. Miserable.
I'm trying to keep tabs on the deck; win percentages and whatnot. So far its been good. Made some mistakes but learning quickly.
I will post my checklist when I get to my computer, because the phone would be a pain.
I've found that mb Abrupt Decay and sb Rakdos Charm do extremely well against Twin decks.
