DESCRIPTION
a different take on jund- durable crearures, with high-value scavenge costs with varolz, the scar striped on the field. went 2-2 at a local fnm. my losses were mainly due to flooding, the deck definitely needs creatures in every zone, not just the library. the deck beat esper control mill, and r u control burn. lost to naya aggro, and a second naya deck that had strong creatures and advent of the wurm, curse of exhaustion and assemble the legion- i was eventually swarmed by the tokens after my hydra was exiled by selesnya charm.
the vexing devil and slumbering dragon, while high-value scavenge cost, were not well-suited for this deck. the slumbering dragon never took off, and it made me sad to have such a sweet flier on the board, not attacking, and not blocking.
the primordial hydra, while the direct source of a few of my wins that night, has zero scavenge ability and is fairly easily removed (doom blade and searing spear were the culprits tonight). i had olivia voldaren and rolling temblor as maybe cards, both should have been in the sideboard over mizzium mortars, and if vampire nighthawk were in the main deck instead of slumbering dragon, there would have been plenty of room for both.
i will be rebuilding this idea. the deck relied too heavily on a red start, i would like to keep it as a splash for falkenrath aristocrat and a few sideboard removal cards, and have a stronger g b start fitting of the varolz and lotleth troll. ill post the new build soon.
