I haven't played Modern in ages... but I will always take time out of my day to watch Reid Duke play Jund, it's just too much of a treasure.
Reid duke is too much of a treasure period
Honestly same
I'm a simple man, I see Reid playing Jund, I watch.
You prolly dont care but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me

This guy has to be my favorite MTGO streamer. Just a humble guy who’s knowledgable, doesn’t get salty, and isn’t overly obnoxious. Awesome content man
I'm a simple man, i see "I'm a simple man. I see Reid playing Jude, I click" I like
I'm a simple man, I see "I'm a simple man, i see "I'm a simple man. I see Reid playing Jude, I click" I like" I like
that's not that simple anymore.
@@BrunoNunes83 it’s still considered simple for like 3 levels deep and then you say «I’m a complicated man » after that

Hey Jude, don't feel bad
Take a sad song and make it better
6:25 I love that match 1 game 1 we see the Jund player going into the tank and debating whether to take Snapcaster or Cryptic Command with Thoughtseize. Just like back in the good ol' days.
Certainties of life : Death, taxes, and Reid playing jund.
I’m a simple human. I see Reid playing Jund, I click.
Hell yeah, Reid on Jund? It's gonna be a good day
1:14:57 by playing kroxa you're letting your opponent untap when you know thay have guile/trophy which get them immediately back in the game, even ahead actually, so saccing the land to draw while they're tapped out seemed the best play to me. Also even if you miss, you still have mana up to activate ravine, so it seemed like a high reward/no drawback play.
yeah even by drawing and whiffing you can still activate ravine and replay it later for next turn so no drawback there
Friend: Wanna watch this Magic tournament?
Me: Nah, taking a breather from Magic.
Friend: It’s Reid Duke on Jund.
Me: Give me a minute, I’ll make some popcorn.
I think in that Niv-to-Light match, you had to go for the win on that turn. Too many live draws on their end, plus their cards in hand, means that if you let them untap, they have to mess up pretty badly in order for you to win. Super super tough decisions, but 5 outs to win is probably better odds than what you had passing the turn.
Higher upside was probably not the correct play there but it was the play I would’ve made lol
So, it's actually more than just the 5 outs right? Because if you go all in you can draw a second time off the peatland and have another look, this time at 3 outs. So you've got roughly 20% to win
@@quakersk8er plus BBE? Was that a possible rout to victory as well? Idk if he even had any in the deck at that point
Definitely go all in with the Peatland given known cards in hand you know if you dont draw the out you lose and if you dont attempt to draw the out you know they stabilize and you lose too me it was a misplay not attempting to go for the win with the draw
Duke is back on Jund, the world feels right again
Nature is healing.
Back to nature
always the best to see Reid playing JUND!!!
Let me preface this by saying yes, obviously, Reid is a better Magic player than me. This is just a little hindsight on a few small errors probably due to him not being familiar with the matchup.
1:15:14 I really don't like this play. Playing Kroxa basically means they're just discarding Yorion. If they have the chance to play out their whole hand, they've already won. I'm not just saying this because Reid happened to draw the W6 for lethal, just that with the cards the opponent had in hand, it was just 2 mana do nothing.
I also think the line at 1:17:13 was wrong. Reid should have pinged, and then played the second W6 right away. This would have forced the opponent, after the second minus, to Kaya's Guile for just gain 4 and make a 1/1, instead of being able to use it as a removal spell for the ravine. Now, since Reids hand would have been empty, they could choose to entwine to remove the graveyard still, and block with the 1/1 instead of not entwining and trophying the ravine, but then Reid still has the ravine in play and doesn't have to worry about the 1/1.
Reid is my favorite player. Love the way he shares his thought process and his willingness to consider alternate lines. But I completely agree with both of your points. (Especially the 2nd one, since a similar pattern had already happened once earlier in the same game when Reid had tried to Inquisition OP's hand.)
@@chanm01 How can anyone say that they love the way he shares his thought process when he is silent for 75% of the video? He barely shares his thought process in any of his videos and I honestly find it to be infuriating. You can leave a Reid Duke video on and actually forget whether or not it's paused. The second example shows this perfectly. There are multiple ways to play that situation. Maybe @candlehawk is right, but the way Reid played it left him with an extra W6. It would have been great to hear him work it out verbally for us. You can FEEL him thinking about it, but so often we are left wondering why he does what he does because he's so deep in the tank that he forgets he's making a video.
I agree with both of these points as well. I initially thought Kroxa was a good play just to setup for a future turn but then realized how ineffective and unlikely that was. When Reid mentioned his outs available, I found myself screaming at the iPad for him to go for the win. 5-6 outs to draw to is the only way to win this game. You should always be playing to win. The decision is to do so patiently or aggressively. In this case, aggressively was the only chance.
I think the kroxa play had no future benefits. crack peatland, ravine attack, could have used to w6 to re-buy that peatland for another chance next turn as well.
Ahh, modern is definitely in a better space with Jund being back
When Duke comes back to traditional Jund you know that all gonna be allright.
Nature is healing.
The only thing CFBpro accomplished for me was that I don't visit the cfb homepage anymore.

Hey Reid! In the Niv Mizzet match you asked us to comment what our thoughts were about the different lines, without using the benefit of hind sight, so I’ll lay out what I was thinking and what my decision was.
I see two reasonable lines here, crack the peatland and see if you draw a win the game card, if not then (most likely) continue on with the raging ravine plan, or the other line to play Kroxa and then continue with the raging ravine plan.
In the video you listed out your potential winning draws if you cracked peatland, you also stepped through what was likely to happen if you attacked with ravine and picked it up with Wrenn and Six. I don’t think Kroxa was given enough thought: playing Kroxa had little upside, we knew their hand and could be pretty confident they’d discard Yorion, and that they had access to Kaya’s Guile to deal with the graveyard.
The Ravine plan as laid out did not shape up to be a winning line, it was going to need some help, and Kroxa was not enough. For this reason I believe drawing was the best out, even if the next card weren’t one of the winning cards.
I do also have a smaller critique from earlier in the video too.
When you were deciding when to fetch in response to the opponent’s turn one Goblin Guide, I believe your answer may have fallen victim to a gambler’s fallacy.
The decision you came to revolved around the idea that it was less likely that you’d have two lands stacked on top of your deck, however I do not think the randomization process is affected much in this way, the cards (for the most part) don’t particularly care what their neighbors are.
I think the more impactful effect was removing a land from your deck before the goblin guide trigger, lowering the chances that it hits and a second land gets removed before your draw step, versus if you fetch after the trigger then you had a higher chance of hitting and going into your draw step with 2 less lands in your deck, instead of just 1 less. You also get the side benefit of seeing your top card before deciding you want to shuffle, you very likely did want to shuffle no matter what as to get a tapped shock land, but I think it’s worth considering if there’s anything in your deck that you wouldn’t want to shuffle away.
I’d be curious to see what the math of this looks like!
Anyways these were just a couple minor lines that really pulled me in while watching. Jund is super interesting and the fact that I had so much to say about two very, very tiny decisions says something about how complex it is!
Great play and great commentary as always, thank you for an enjoyable and insightful video!
Nothing better than watching reid palying (mainly jund)
Yes, more of this. Reid playing modern with a format staple deck is always good.
I'm a simple man. I see Reid & Jund... I click
Reid. Jund. Click. Watch. Wait for next video. Watch multiple times while waiting.
Based on your question in game 3 (whether to crack the nurturing peat land). I think it was definitely better to crack the land as your only alternative was to play kroxa. At the time, I think it is fair to say that Kroxa would not have done anything for you as they had a Kaya's Guile in hand and would've exiled him next turn. So the decision was to pay 2 mana and take the 12.5% chance to win the game (by drawing a card) or to pay 2 mana to make your opponent discard a card when they have 4 or more cards in hand.
Best modern content out there, so happy to see this pop up.
Edit: Is it LSV that preaches “always play to your outs”? I forget but that’s been stuck in my head since someone mentioned that and with that mantra in mind I likely would have tried to nurturing peatland on that crucial turn. I do often give up too early in tough games like that though, so I can totally see taking the more conservative line.
I like cracking the peatland because if you miss not playing Kroxa is not that big of a deal. Also the odds are 12,5% to hit which seems high considering that opponent has us outvalued and Kaya's seems backbraking. To be fair opting for that play is much easier now if you know that it would actually win you the game so I might be wrong but that would be the reasoning.
Reid Duke and Jund, name a more iconic duo.
LSV and Vintage Cube isn't more iconic, but it's a close rival.
sometimes you just gotta watch reid duke play jund
It's like it's my birthday best thing to open RUclips too
I'm actually tearing up finally some good old fashioned reid duke content
it's been too long, too many MTG Arena streams with his chat constantly distracting him
aaaaaaaaaah
The Duke and his Jund... I'm in.
First love to see your videos and your explanations on the plays and the way you are seeing the game. In that game that u don’t crack the land to draw I thing u should have. I say that not by seeing the wren on top but because in that moment kroxa didn’t seem to any difference. I knew he will play kaya, so kroxa would be exile and a discard a card. Crack the land could give u the game and kroxa later maybe would do some difference. Just my humble opinion from Portugal. :)
Love seeing you (Reid) playing Jund, or modern in general for that matter!
I definitely think cracking the peatland on that crucial turn against the Niv Mizzet player would have been the correct play. Not because hitting one of the five outs was super likely, but because the alternative, playing kroxa, was just too bad. You had no graveyard to speak of, and attacking the opponent´s hand by letting them discard one card of their choice there was just futile, since they most likely would have had something good to play on every turn for the rest of the game anyway. So I think racking peatland would have been the higher-percentage play, even if you don´t hit one of the five perfect cards.
Just some thoughts: Around 41:00 against the burn deck, you tap out for Liliana and discard Seasoned Pyromancer stating you don’t think the game will go long enough for you to play it. But (draw depending) would slamming it next turn not be the better option? It puts Kroxa along with another card in the graveyard, creates at least 1 token, and gets you to see more cards. Along with better selection of what to discard to Lili. Seems better than making them discard just one card. Obviously your plan was complete denial of your opponents resources, and it worked, but I couldn’t help by thinking there was only more upside to casting the pyromancer.
I think the Niv game, it was correct to crack the peatland. The real question was what to do with the 2 mana. He knew all the cards his opponent had, so the Kroxa wasn't an effective play.
He also could have redrawn the peatland rather than the raging since attacking seemed to not be a way to win anymore
Awesome content Reid. M2g2 I think you also had the out of hitting bloodbraids off the peatland and cascading into a couple other instawins like Lili or removal.
Good to see Reid playing some modern again!
We must preserve Reid at all costs!
Man's playing Maelstrom Pulse 💗
In an 80 cards deck, getting this much niv mizzet and bring to light on the first two games is incredible
not to mention 3x kaya's guile in that last game lol
As an UW control player(and occasionally jund player)i can say Jund MU are really really tough. Bg are fine,death shadow are fine,and the jund version plays Lurrus as companion it's a good MU.
But God,Liliana,seasoned pyro and bloodbraid are a nightmare
At 1:33:23, could he have escaped kroxa, forcing the opponent to discard and then holding up red for bolt just in case? That way, every time he attacks, he’s draining his opponent of life and forcing the block from auriok on kroxa. Playing blood braid was risky, but it paid off since he hit exactly what he needed. Idk which was the right choice but I’m trying to pick up Jund and want to learn a little more about the decision making process :)
Finaly, he is back 😁
Even ignoring 20/20 hindsight I think it was correct to crack the land for your 5 outer that turn. You still had enough mana to do the raging ravine attack and playing kroxa that turn already seemed like it wouldn’t do anything impactful since you knew they had extra spells to discard.
love watching you play black midrange. maybe another round of orzhov stoneforge next? there's a spicy list that had eldrazi in it in the latest 5-0 dumps.
Just gonna send it...
Reid's Jund is out of retirement!
This is gold CFB 🔥🔥
I missed ya, Reid!
Not knowing your top card, drawing off peatland still has the best chance of winning. You know they are more than likely pitching yorion to kroxa there, so there is no real upside to playing kroxa. So the play with the most upside is sac the land if you draw the win great. If you don't draw the win, you can still trade with the ravine and rebuy it with wrenn.
Nice to see you on Jund again Reid! I was wondering, what do you think of 'Cleansing Wildfire' as a new land destruction sideboard card? I'm struggling to choose between the classic Fulminator/Pillage/Molten Rain and Cleansing Wildfire currently. I can see merits to both, but being able to cast Cleansing Wildfire a turn earlier against Urza Tron before they assemble it seems like it might be good, plus it cantrips? I really can't decide, and I'm not that experienced with Jund, so any thoughts would be appreciated!
magic players only want one thing and its reid duke on jund.
I think the crucial play is to crack the land since you get more chances to draw and at that point in the game I would be trying to find a way to top deck into a way to win like BBE or Wrenn, it is a super hard decision.
I was honestly thinking cracking the peatland. You were kinda behind, and knowing the opponent was going to take control of the game if they untapped, maybe should have put all the cards on the table on that one. But what can I say. I’m a gambler, lol I’ve lost many more games than I’ve won with that mindset lol
At 6 minutes in, why not jam with Bloodbraid Elf? Wrenn & Six seems like a strong threat against control that is never going to resolve against the two Force of Negation, there are a lot of reasonable cascade targets, and opponent is already behind on tempo so it should be a good moment to increase the pressure.
I also didnt like his line. When you have 4 mana and can BBE to exert pressure (which you need cause opp can kill all your threats - except for a 2/2 - just by blocking), you should
1:21:53 the problem with not rolling the dice and taking the draw was that you don't improve from that position. They are at a stage where they are starting to be able to resolve both a niv and a defensive spell so you only have one or two turns left. The assessment you are making is whether you have multiple turns or just one. I think both taking the draw and not taking the draw are reasonable. it's just how likely tou think you are to win the game if you give them an additional turn. i.e. are they more likely to draw things which solve thier immeinent death or are you more likely to draw things which kill them.
I think with hind sight it makes sense to take the draw because a 15ish% chance of winning on the spot is better imo than the chance you had letting them untap after a niv turn.
personally i would of gone for the sac of the peatland on that 1 turn, i think you were on 45 cards left, with like you said 5 cards to draw into, i like those odds myself. also you had 2 draws if you wanted to, to go for the brutality, returning the peatland with Wrenn and six. that bieng said you basialy lose the game if it fails, but i didn't think you win the game if you didn't get the kill there anyway, so i felt going for that win was the best choice.
As you explained the possibility to have 5 winning draws when cracking the peatland, I thought 'go for it!'
Better try to win this turn then next turn against this deck.
I waited so long for this!
Reid fix the camera! 😉🤣🤣🤣
Everybody have fun tonight!...
Ried, I think you should have cracked that land and went all in to win that turn. You knew opponent had kaya's guile a d i dont see a scenario where you deal dmg to him for the rest of the game.
ty
Will you make another video with orhzov stoneblade deck?
I think the land draw was correct even with the information i have after. Kaya's guile entwined there was so detrimental close to unbeatable. Killing your man land. Getting out of reach and making another blocker. But i dont think your play was completely incorrect
That's just my take on it
Will you be playing GRIXIS in Legacy anytime soon? Please!!
I came for Mr. Duke but i'll stay for the Jund
Feels so good!
I'm curious-- In the turn AFTER the turn where you didn't crack Peatland. I thought you should W6 ping, then cast second W6. You would force them to use the kaya's guile before activating your Raging Ravine. Then you can still swing in with the peatland. With this line you would take more resources out of their hand since likely they wouldn't be able to entwine guile so they would have to use trophy on your Ravine. Not absolutely sure it would have changed the outcome of the game, but the upside seems higher.
FUCK YEAH THE CLASSICS
In the Niv match my only thought (without knowledge of outcome) was "their deck probably out grinds yours so going for an aggressive play would be reasonable but I'm not a Jund player so you probably see something I don't". But to be fair a good majority of my losses come from greed.
I think cracking the Peatland was the right play. You knew op had a kayas guile and redundant cards in hand, so playing kroxa as a 2 mana raven's crime doesn't make sense to me. It's didn't significantly impact the board or their hand and has more value in your hand than the yard because of the guile, and it seemed likely that they would cast guile the next turn.
Regarding the play around cracking the nurturing peatland. I do like your play, you navigated the best line with the knowledge you had at hand. But knowing your opponents deck was going to start producing over the top plays on the very next turn I would have preferred you playing to your outs. You had 41 cards left in deck and 5 outs as you stated. Not great odds but the chance of you winning the game went so far down after that turn I would liked to have seen you go for it. Sucks knowing in hindsight it would have worked
I think it was right to sac the land to try and draw the win there, I think if you couldn't win after that turn because you know he has kayas guile in hand and you also don't have any bolts in your deck.
At the turn at 1:15, I think the play is to crack peatland, here's why:
With 41 cards in deck and 5 ways to win, the chances of you winning instantly are 12,1%. With the information about opponents hand, letting them untap, your win % is (in my opinion) lower than that.
Hey Reid, great league. I think you had go for sacrificing the peatland because the discard from kroxa hadn't any impact.. Discarding 1 card from 4 wasn't that effective
Opp should have double blocked bbe and traded their token for your token game 1. I think trading a bolt for a token (if they were scared to lose a token) would still have been better for them, right? That 2 life from the token getting through and the 1 from the land might've mattered
Is there a wotc employee over at mtgo that increases the odds of having bring to light in your starting hand when you register yorion as your companion?
1:22:00 I know as card gamers we're naturally inclined to superstition, but I always try my best to just not think of what the top of a deck "would have been". Because yes, the deck was physically shuffled beforehand, but for all practical mathematical purposes, it's poofing a random card that's in it (and wasn't scried to the bottom) into your hand at the moment you draw. That's why I always hate the postgame draw a card button on mtgo, it's just a "show me a random card in my deck" button that does nothing but frustrate.
All that ranting done, I don't think I would have cracked the land there myself. But it may be the more likely win than hoping for the opponent to brick. It's a move that takes a lot of guts.
Not sure why its more fun to have a determinitive gamestate on turn 8 and loose to control on turn 30 than it is to have a known definitive boardstate from an uro on turn 8 and loose on turn 10, but hey its no skin off my nose
@Oligoden when i have 7 cards to your 3, with 2 plainswalkers on board theres no path to victory. The same playerd who hated uro, also dont understand that loosing to an uro and loosing to card advantage are the same thing even if one takes takes 10 turns to kill you after you've lost the game
Nice to see you. Could you explain why you choose not to play Scavenging Ooze, and many other sideboard graveyard hates?
Kroxa stressing the mana towards red black, won't have as many green sources to make snooze really good
He’s running sideboard Nihil Spellbombs as his choice graveyard hate. That choice is generally because it doesn’t leave you down a card and also that it is an artifact for Goyf. Plus, most graveyard decks in modern aren’t so aggressive that something like Leyline of the Void is necessary.
@@Midnight_Lumberjack Thanks. I thought 3 Nihil Spellbombs were not enough, but definitely Reid chose not to lean towards graveyard hate too much for a reason.
@@willgary8792 Thanks, that is one reasonable explanation.
Why take Niv Mizzet instead of Bring to Light? Bring to Light is a tutor and can be anything, including Niv Mizzet. Should narrow his options, to only allow Niv Mizzet as opposed to search for some toolbox card?
the best!
do i need 2 pyros in the main .. i use 1 dark and 1 tracker instead is that ok
1:21:45 its such a rough game on that turn, I think Kroxa does almost nothing as their hand is so stacked and your chance to win takes a nosedive if they untap, cracking the peatland was a 1/8 to win, I think you probably take it. As I say, rough overall though
I think the play on that turn was to crack the peatland. Even just the cards they have in hand are going to be hard to beat if it goes for another turn and I don't think playing Kroxa accomplished much towards winning with them having Kaya's Guile in hand. Certainly a complicated decision and usually when I think about the choices I'd make as I'm watching you and see you make a different choice I end up being wrong.
I want to do a jund, but what’s a good deck or color in modern . I am so new to the format.
Depends a lot on what kinds of decks you like to play and your budget. Modern meta has a little bit of everything.
@@ChannelFireball midrange jund
@@ChannelFireball I’m still trying to find my way into it as welll. The whole deck building, and I wanted to know if angels are greet for commander in “meta”
I'm definitely not a pro by any means, but the game against 5C Niv-to-Light in the second game, you need to not play Kroxa. Honestly, drawing cards is the most powerful effect in Magic. It's why a lot of cards that allow draw are expensive or cost something, be it life, or otherwise. Drawing with Peatland costs 2 lands, but if you had drawn K Command, W6, or Brutality, the game would have been done, since you had enough lands to cast any of those. Hindsight, yes, you should have absolutely cracked, however, me knowing how I play Jund, at that exact juncture of the game, I had NOTHING going, and drawing was the best potential out we had.
Edit: As another point to it also, you had another TWO draws at that point also, since you could have used W6 to return it and try again.
i think you have to go for the chance to hit the lethal play against the niv to light, it was 5 hits out of 41 remaining cards so around 14%, but if the game goes any longer at this point i think you lose anyway.
It was a bit more than 5 hits actually as Reid could have hit Bloodbraid Elf into any of those 5 outs or a removal spell to win. He also had two cracks at drawing because he could rebuy the Nurturing Peatland with W6.
Why does the first hour have an ad every thirty seconds?
To fill in all the long silences.
what is the reason for a basic mountain?
Like, in life?
@@ChannelFireball meant more like is it only for when you need to fetch basic mountain and you are scared of dmg?
1:14:00 I am incredibly surprised you didn't sacrifice your peatland over playing the titan. Titan is cool and all, but you knew he wasn't going to discard a land so he was a waste of 2 mana. You said you had 5 draws that outright won you the game out of 41, being roughly a 1/8 chance of winning on the spot, if not then there was not really any loss on your part. You either won there or Kaya's Guile pushed you back a few turns (best case scenario, even though it really didn't turn out that way). I'm just so surprised you decided to play the titan, even being a definitely dead card...
I think Bob is the place to be with Jund right now instead of W&6. It's markedly better against combo and Niv decks while also being only slightly worse, if not simply just as bad, against the aggro decks; at least it can block or eat a burn spell. It's worse in the mirror, but among the most popular decks that's really the only matchup where it's markedly worse.
I also think Seasoned Pyromancer is not great right now. The format is too fast and demands the deck to be leaner, and with Kolaghan's Command being well positioned Spyro seems like the right cut.
@Oligoden if you are going to argue for a card, then argue. Don't just say "it's the reason the deck is good". It was better than Bob over a year ago when it came out, not in the current meta. W6 is a two mana planeswalker, true, but once you get past the aphorism of "two mana planeswalker good" what does it provide in the most important match ups currently? Bob digs for answers against combo, and against blitz, burn and shadow at least provides a blocker; in both match ups W6 is almost a mulligan or some indirect life gain at most, something Bob also represents as a blocker. And yes, everybody knows spyro provides good stats. Not as good as playing a fourth bob, third Kroxa or second terminate though
@Oligoden Wrenn almost always drawing burn spells is just flatly untrue, it's not uncommon to see opponents completely ignoring W6, because it functionaly does nothing in those match ups (it was even the case in this video); and even if it does, it's still a bad card against aggro, and both it and Bob should be sideboarded out. At least Bob puts some P/T on the battlefield though, and can block a Goblin Guide.
And the point is that, being both so bad against shadow, burn and blitz, Bob is markedly better against combo and big mana, and even decks like Niv that try to go over the top. W6 does next to nothing in those match ups, which are very hard to Jund.
And with regards to slower decks, Bob in very good too. As good as W6? No, but good enough so that W6 can't offset its bad performance against combo and ramp.
I'm not just theorizing, btw. I've both played and seen in action multiple builds of Jund, and having 3 Kroxa as a way to shut down the door on games, and Bob as card advantage instead of W6, has been consistently better that Spyros and W6, and haven't felt more clunky than how Spyros generally feel.
I just wanted to first say I enjoyed the good points brought up from both sides. While I think Bob is better for an aggressive creature meta than W6 mainboard mostly based on the fact it can chump block while W6 can be ignored when played on turn two, I am not sure that's means bob is better than W6 for this list of cards. W6 greatly increases your chances to get to four lands on turn four (much better percentage than bob) which is vitally important for a deck whose most powerful spells that plays a significant role in pivoting from answering the opponents threats to forcing the opponent to answer threats (bloodbraid and escaped kroxa) in this iteration require four lands.
IMO modern is a tempo first format where stumbling by any means including hitting your land drops often leads to losses as oppose to legacy where card advantage/selection is king and with the other formats there often is more breathing room for stumbles. The question should be asked if modern is in a meta where a player can take turn two "off" so to speak (play W6 which can be ignored for a few turns or play turn two kroxa from hand - a two mana opponent's choice discard on turn two on its own merit is a weak effect especially for modern) in order to setup for future turn success. Of course those cards don't have to be played on turn two but really that what this iteration is designed to do: turn one discard, turn two "setup," turn three answer, turn four start to pivot.
@@neilthomaswallin514 if you're afraid of not hitting land drops, then play 24 land. Bob should be more than enough to hit land drops up to turn 4 while also doing more than W6, and especially since the build I propose is leaner with only 6 or 7 3cmc spells (Lili plus KCommand and Pulse), W6 is not needed. If you don't like the third Kroxa, then cut it for a Terminate or Decay, but the deck has enough 2 and 1 cmc spells that Kroxa is rarely the only option on turn 2, while also being able to shut down the door on games against pretty much every match up: one of Jund's biggest issue for a while imo has been it's lack of a clock against some of the faster aggro and combo decks in the format, giving them too much time to draw the Bolts or Titans they need, and Kroxa (plus Bob, which can at least attack for two as opposed to W6) can finish a game fast, while also sizing up a lot of the time against Shadow and Scourge.
Jund? In this economy?
I’ve played against you 5 times in modern, 1-4 against you on jund only win coming from tron
That keyboard is soo loud
Them ads in the first half. Lawl
I'd like to say...I don't play Modern. I can't play it because it's entirely too expensive to get into, very very competitive, and is all about winning as quickly as possible. However...that doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching it be played. If I had a stack of cash to play Modern, don't get me wrong...I would. But for now, i'll just watch someone far better than me have at it lol.

I love the content, i just would hate to be the opponents, because they gotta wait 5 minutes before you take an action cause they know you are explaining ur options to viewers every turn, it makes it even worse if 2 content creators are facing each other
I am a simple man..
