Hi guys! I'm looking to take Rock to GP LA next month and I have my maindeck ready to go(only may trim FoR to 3 but love my land destruction and hasn't really hurt my manabase in testing. I wanted some feedback for the sideboard. Here is my maindeck:
I'm pretty set on these 12 cards for my sideboard:
3x Fulminator
2x Surgical
2x Cage
1x Nissa
1x Damnation
1x Brutality
1x Finks
1x Damping sphere.
For the other 3 slots I'm considering either a 3rd surgical, 1x spellbomb, 1x Golgari Charm, 1x EE, 3rd Tracker, and 1x Deathmark.
Let me which of those you guys think would best fit the final slots. Also, Any other card suggestions for the sideboard definately welcome. Even the mainboard. Want this 75 polished and ready to Rock! thanks guys!
Hi guys! I recently switched from Jund to Rock. Really loving how streamlined and having the land destruction angle. This is my list right now and was looking for some feedback, especially on the sideboard. Was also considering adding an Abrupt Decay to main in place of either a bomb or Tracker. Loving both of these cards in this shell though. Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
It looks everyone is trying some new lists around faithless looting to give us some better card selection. Which makes total sense. I definately agree that is our biggest issue. But recently I've been thinking is Sultai something that can be relevant? Keeping a similar BG shell and replacing red with blue and adding cards like serum visions or thought scour with snapcaster I think can really help with this card selection issue while still maintaining a similar strategy. What do you guys think? @flyingdelver? Would you guys add more delve threats? Or just add snappy? Curious what you guys think the optimal sultai build would be and if it can be more consistent than jund. Thanks guys!
Edit: been looking at some Sultai delirium lists. Looks interesting...
Fulminator is definitely better against control as it is also a threat that applies pressure. But this is better against the other matchups and it's nice that it takes care of multiple colonnade vs just 1. Anyways, fulminator vs control better, but with so many cards vying for those precious 15 SB slots I think this card may be where we want to be. I think it's worth testing definately. Could maybe do a split of these cards too if you want.
I'm absolutely loving this alpine moon! This card hoses valakut and tron big time while also doing extra duty against celestial colonnade. Definitely running this in my sideboard...
Thanks for the advice guys. I think part of my issue was keeping slower hands. It does seem if the game goes longer, they eventually get too much disruption. I do have an EE in the side as well as LtLh. Also, I do agree taking their CA such as adept should be our 1st choice. Thanks again fellas
I know Merfolk is a small portion of the meta, but every time I face this deck, I just get smoked! With spreading seas, islandwalk, and merfolk trickster, master of waves etc. I just cant keep up. Is it traditionally an unfavorable matchup? Sure feels like it. Any advice how to beat this would be great. Thanks guys
Hey guys! Ive updated my list and was looking for some feedback. Ive been loving 25 lands the whole time. I know a lot here are saying 25 lands are "clunky". Hasn't been the case in my experience. Are we talking about the spells in those builds? I do realize the lands coming in tapped is an issue but seems prevalent in the 24 land builds as well. Ive decided to update my sideboard to hedge more against the humans deck. As I feel this can be a great matchup for us. Also while keeping Hollow one, Tron, and Bogles as the decks I'm looking for the most help after sideboarding. So far, especially against Humans online has been working out well. I'm going to be substituting fulminator for damping sphere. I was also considering cage instead of spellbomb. Otherwise, I'm feeling good about it for these matchups plus having game against other decks. Let me know what you guys think. Kept mainboard the same as more of my issues stemmed from not having enough answers post sideboard. Thanks!
I've been happy with my results with this list but I'm looking to fit Kalitas somewhere in the 75. What do you guys think? I was considering cutting down to 3 BBE and putting 1 Kalitas mainboard...
Thanks for the clarification delver. I do agree on the mountain. Would much prefer a forest. Reason I have a mountain is because the first land that always gets blown up is either my lone red source or a raging ravine (usually my only red source as well at the time). When I draw the land it is bad though. I will try 2 forest. It just seemed nice to have an answer to fix my mana to LD. I will also test the 3rd ooze in the main. As for damping sphere, you think 2 is enough? Thanks

Hey guys, here is the current list I'm on now. Couple of possibilities I have been considering.
- Can this list do 24 lands? I've been very comfortable at 25, especially with the 4 man lands but I'm looking to see if I can squeeze something else in.
- recently took out a 3rd K command and replaced with 2nd Maelstrom pulse. Still testing but I think this is correct. Thoughts on that?
- and lastly, I added LTLH to my sideboard but now I have no room for a sweeper. Is there anything I can cut? Is it needed? If I do, should I go anger or Damnation? Or any other sideboard suggestions? So many choices lol. Thanks everyone! Jund em' out!
Thanks Delver. I'm gonna give it a shot. I will post my results here. Also, I was wondering if you had any plans to add additional matchups under the sideboard guide? Like maybe Colorless Eldrazi, Bant spirits, Faeries, Grishoalbrand etc. My meta tends to be wide open at my LGS.
Hi guys! New to Jund and was looking for some advice on tweaking my current list. I have been happy so far in my testing online but will be looking to take the deck to my LGS soon. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
