Game 1- Kept pretty good hand saw no spreading seas, and beat him w/ a resloved siege-gang
Game 2- Both Mulligan, i keep Summit, Duress,Bolt, Bolt, Leech, Elf on draw and get there by not seeing t2 spread'em and drawing lands ;D 2-0 (1-0)
Round 2 Jund Vs RDW (friend from Madison).
Game 1- Hand was ok, but i drew enough terminates to get there, was a nail bitter has he had me to 4, and i had to pump my leech to push the last 10 damage in when he had 1 card in hand.
Game 2- i have a great hand bunch of thrinaxs and doomblades, i turn 3 a thrinax after getting a hell's thunder to the dome, he plays turn 4 manabarbs and im able to get there w/ just 2 thrinaxs beating 2-0 (2-0)
Round 3 Jund vs Mythic Conscription
Game 1- I draw nuts hand, 3 bloodbraids hitting no bricks and won easily
Game 2- He goes turn 3 baneslayer which i anwser with a terminate, blightning his soverigns out of his hand, he doesnt have any gas to get there i win pretty easily 2-0 (3-0)
Round 4 Jund Vs Mythic Conscription
Game 1- had removal heavy draw, bolt his dorks and got ride of his threats
Game 2- He gets a baneslayer down turn 3, and lose quickly after he casts a 2nd baneslayer and couldnt find a pulse or terminate.
Game 3- He Mulligans to 5, punish him w/ blightning, and ruinblaster his collonade and kill him w/ a lavaclaw reachs 2-1 (4-0)

Game 2- i Mulligan 5, he draws nutty and i lose pretty bad 0-2 (5-1)
Round 7 Jund Vs Jund
One more and im in...

Game 2 I play multiple thrinax, cast sarkhan the mad and the game was over he is pretty nuts in the mirror
Game 3- He turn 4 ruinblasters me, i play my thrid land and pass, he plays garruks makes a beast, i follow up with thrinax, he bloodbraids in removal spell and kills my thrinax and bashs for a million, i get to 5 lands cast siege-gang commander, he counters by untaping 2 lands with garruk and casting siege gang commander, i draw consuming vapors, then i termnate his siege and pass, he attacks out w/ 2beasts bloodbraid and 3 goblins, i block the tokens and bloodbraid and take 6 to go to 4. i draw a bloodbraid and cast counsuming vapors getting rid of his beast gaining 3 life up to 7, so he all he has is garruk @ 1 and beast in play with 1 card in hand and im @ 7, he draws and throws it on the table its a bloodbraid and it nets him a blightning and does 9 damage in one turn.... was a heartbreaker. 1-2 (5-2)
After Round 7 i was currently tenth with the best breakers of all x-2s i have a outside chance of top 8ing
Round 8 Jund vs Vengvine Jund
I get very lucky and get paired up, he pleads for me to give him the win, but after my bad lost i wasnt having any of it i wanted to dream crush.
Game 1 He curshes me w/ Vengvines
Game 2 i double ruinblaster him, he has no black source and i win
Game 3 he keeps red and green sourced hand, i ruinblaster him he doesnt find a black source until its to late 2-1 (6-2)
After round 8 i still had a outside shot @ top 8ing, so the judges print out the list and call out the top 8'ers and i got the 8th spot on tiebreakers #fistpump
Quaterfinals Jund vs Naya Planeswalker
i knew what deck 6 of 8 players were playing but i didnt know this one
Game 1- kept a sketchy hand and he is able to slow me down w/ ajani and kill me with vengvine.
Game 2- he gets 3 planeswalkers out Ajani, elspeth, and Gideon, so gideon is @ 3, elpseth is @ 8, and ajani is @ 6, i draw my 5th land and bloodbraid into a pulse killing his ajani then attack and kill gideon, i didnt pulse elspeth because with the information i had i didnt think he had a baneslayer, and i could care less about idestructable birds, and he also had 1 card in hand, on his turn he casts baneslayer and makes him indestrucble and sits back @ 7 life i follow up w/ a siege gang commander, and pass, he attacks w/ baneslayer, knocking me down to 13, and him to 12, i draw bolt and attack back w/ 3 goblins bloodbraid and thrinax netting me 4 damage, post combat i blightning him to 5 life, on his turn he attacks and passes and i draw a land attack all out he blocks siege-gang commander and takes 6 from thrinax and 3 tokens, then 2 more from siege-gang fling, then finish him w/ a lightning bolt. We're not done yet
Game 3- I should have mulligan but my hand felt ok, it was 2x terminates, thrinax, pulse, bolt and 2 lands, didnt draw a third land for awhile and he got me.
Everyone needs to stop thinking about the mirror match for ruinblaster, Goblin ruinblaster isnt that narrow, in the midwest master series in chicago i sided in ruinblaster against RDW w/Blightning splash, UW control, Mythic and the Mirror, i lost a game to mytic @ x-1 because of not siding in ruinblasters to deal w/ colonade. Ruinblaster is very good i suggest 4 in the board
I don't think you understand what I mean....
there is no reason to be playing Zektar Shrine Expedition when you can't trigger it on one turn.
Ranger of Eos is needed in this deck in Standard.
doesnt barely boros play zektar shrine? and that deck cant trigger it in a turn. this pretty much a barely boros build anyways
i guess you can call this more like barely boros but i just think steppe lynx is too good to not be included in this deck, i often dont lose if there is a first turn lynx, Deck has been pretty good in testing and placed 2nd in last weekend FNM only losing to Austrian control, but i still plan on playing it this weekend
Spreading seas seems like could be good disruption and helps your fish become unblockable w/ lord but idk if i like ponder more then spreading seas. needs more testing
advice? thanks
just pm'd the guy

i would pack atleast 2-3 jund charms for open the vaults, and RDWs which are probably 2 of the worst matchups for jund.
and have say Blighnting wins games
and can i also get a blightning avatar?
that would be great thx in advance
