Just a quick reference to those around the 15:00 mark. Damping sphere does not affect utopia sprawl as the enchantment is making the extra mana, not the land. Sphere specifically needs the land to make 2+ mana. It does however, tax things like BBE cascading into things. Also, filter lands + damping sphere are usually a non-bo. Filter lands have a cost where you pay a mana, tap the filter, then the filter makes 2 mana of whatever color(s) you chose. Because of that, the sphere only makes it make 1 colorless, even though you paid the mana to filter. Of course, Reid only has one filter, so it usually wouldn't be an issue, but it can!
I figured when he mentioned Utopia Sprawl that he was talking about the other half of Damping Sphere. Usually it is cast before another spell, so that next spell would cost 1 more.
Earlier i was just thinking about when a new Channel Reid video would come out, so perfect timing Reid. It's pretty late here in Germany and your videos are always pretty relaxing unlike many others, this couldn't have been uploaded at a better time to be honest!
It could be a budget/convenience issue or again, as every time someone makes this comment, it's a common testing tool to represent a "bubble" card you might not be sure should be in the deck. If you're trying to figure out if you should have X copies in a deck versus Y and you have another card/s in mind every time that bubble version pops up you can note "What if this was another Push?" "What if this was Tireless Tracker?" etc.
Blood moon doing what is does best, promoting fun and interactive games of magic. Sucked to have those be the first 2 matches but still awesome to watch any Reid Duke video
He finally caved and put that mountain in the deck. That's pretty sick. I've been playing the x1 mountain for ages and I really haven't hated it too much
Luiz Felipe Luck is just statistics taken personally. If he played something like GDS, Storm or Burn he wouldn't have the drawing wrong end of the deck -syndrome nearly as much.
Have you ever tested tireless tracker in Jund? There must be a reason why no one plays it in this deck or has it not been tested? It gives some card advantage like bloodbraid elf and it lowers the mana curve and not as painful when u hit him with Bob.
Can someone explain why so many jund players are on 3 ooze. Just seems to me like it's mediocre to poor in enough matchups that you don't want more than 2.
Hey Reid thanks for the video. I wonder if you would consider streaming with Jeskai Control some time? I have always enjoyed your commentary on control decks.
I may be mad but I feel like almost coming 5 colour jund (yes the name is contradicting) could help in so many match ups - adding in path gives so much more game against Hollow one, vengevine, wurmcoil, eldrazi etc and then adding in 2 - 4 copies of ancestral visions that you can cascade into for longer grinder games along with a one of fetch able blue shock land if it goes to hand. Obviously the mana base will take a hit so maybe one of junds main colours needs to take a bit of a hit and become more of a splash as well but I think there's some serious potential and gives a wider amount of sideboard cards.
Tron opponent complained about not having a single threat the whole game when he had Ulamog, Karn and Wurmcoil game 1 that got hosed by sideboard plan, and winning game 1 with Ugin....
Rigo Armienta I think he is talking bout the last game in which he indeed didn't draw lands. Don't get me wrong I think one should not complain about bad draws, it's magic, this is what you singed up for. (especially with Tron) My point is that he wasn't talking about the match probably.
At 57:30... I don't understand the no attack with the Tarmogoyff. You present a kill next turn and the best that the opponent can do is play a second Swiftspear, and a one-mana 3 damage spell, and deal 7 damage to you (if you don't chump with the Lavamancer), and you are at 8. Am I missing something? Maybe opponent plays two Swiftspears, hits for 2, and leave one back to chump Goyff with the hope of double burn you next turn after top-decking two one-mana 3 damage burn spells? Cannot happen since Lavamancer clears the way for Goyff for lethal.
Some pretty rough games there Reid. Are you going to be at Vegas tomorrow singling that jund again? I’ll be there rooting for you but for myself first!!!;) is jelly that you get to sleep in with a round 3 bye. I’ve just started playing again at ixalan pre release and I’ve managed to earn a first round bye!!! I didn’t even know how it worked or I would have played a little more often to get the second round one at 2250. But good luck to you and I hope you draw better than you did today, unless it’s vs me of course !!!!
I prefer 24, but you do have plenty of ways to spend your mana in the late game, with BBE, K command and the man-lands, so 25 is probably fine. Now that you have BBE you really want to hit your 4th land drop ASAP.
At 1:07:18 you could’ve fetched basic forest to grow goyf and put a counter on scooze exiling reshaper to putting your opponent to 1 which isn’t huge but I️t surprised me that you opted not too despite having no real reason to bluff the 1 card in hand and 1 untapped land
Noah Golden it’s not just in jund though Liliana is used in a multiple of different decks tarmogoyf not that much but tarmogoyf will always be a good beater but not worth the price tag tbh
Modern is a format where people tend to play what they like/know rather than what the best deck is, way more so than standard. Just because Jund isn't the best deck, doesn't mean there aren't still a ton of Jund players around. Also the deck has been competitive for years and hasn't changed much, so it makes sense to hang on to it if you got it.
As someone who owns this deck, I'll be the first to admit how much I hate watching it get played. You're either very good, and lucky, or this deck is just really poorly positioned right now. This goes to show how much luck has to do with Jund!
Ya I think it's in a tough spot. It's not good against most of the unfair decks, barring maybe storm, but it's also not the best of the grindy midrange decks (that title goes to Mardu Pyro). I would actually love to see Reid pilot the Mardu deck, I think it has the right mix of unfair cards and a great grindy game.
You guys really need to stop spoiling the end of the matches with that "ready to trade?" popup. Just put it at the start of the match or something, it's really annoying seeing that then knowing something is gonna end the game next turn.
(not to mention the fan sounds of the PC, that's fucking obnoxious... i don't care when i watch your content on my phone, cause the sound is not very good, but on PC with my headphones i just want to close the video..)
Why side out the thoughtsiezes vs burn I play mardu pyro and find that the trading 2 life for 3 sometimes 4 life is worth it. Plus worst case its just collective brutality or lili fodder.

The mismatched Tarmogoyf in every video for maximum tilt value
It could be a budget/convenience issue or again, as every time someone makes this comment, it's a common testing tool to represent a "bubble" card you might not be sure should be in the deck. If you're trying to figure out if you should have X copies in a deck versus Y and you have another card/s in mind every time that bubble version pops up you can note "What if this was another Push?"

Paul M Huh, never thought of that but definitely a good use of mismatched copies.
Oftentimes the streamers and players are renting cards and when you rent cards sometimes you don't get a choice of which art you want :(

Always love seeing Reid - Modern - Jund in my feed
The man, the myth, the legend.
ANOTHER
MODERN
V E E D I O
That ancient grudge in the last game..wow, what a match!
Nice Reid! I really enjoy your Modern Games. Hopefully I'll see you more in this format. Greetings from Spain
Reid on Jund? Instant like.
This is why we play jund
*sees tron land*
This is why we don’t play jund
I wish they would ban Tron lands !
Thank you Reid for not posting only 5-0 leagues. Great video!
Absolutely love your content, please keep it coming!
He finally caved and put that mountain in the deck. That's pretty sick. I've been playing the x1 mountain for ages and I really haven't hated it too much
I see Reid
I see Jund
I click
wow so simple
Opponent sees Reid
Opponent assumes Jund
Opponent clicks mull to 5
haha, same here :)
The static in the background through most of it is very grating on the ears, love to see the Jund content thought Reid!
29:40 One of the funnies things in a Magic video I've ever heard! Nice job! Lol
T1 thoughtseize revealing natural Tron, Stirrings, Karn and relic.... what a joy for anyone playing a fair deck.
"Here for your perennial Modern Jund video" killed me xD
Is it just me or does reed get really unlucky on these channel fireball vids?
I mean sometimes it feels that way but jund is pretty meh so that might just be the issue.
Luiz Felipe yeah that g2 match 2 was just insane, gone through half the deck without the swamp, also 2 bad bbe cascades
he is the single most unlucky content producer, i never see anyone get this unlucky.
it's the only way the average MTGO user can ever beat him
Luiz Felipe Luck is just statistics taken personally. If he played something like GDS, Storm or Burn he wouldn't have the drawing wrong end of the deck -syndrome nearly as much.
Have you ever tested tireless tracker in Jund? There must be a reason why no one plays it in this deck or has it not been tested? It gives some card advantage like bloodbraid elf and it lowers the mana curve and not as painful when u hit him with Bob.
Another great video from my favorite player
I am a simple man, I see Reid with Jund, I like
"This is one of the best opening hands I've ever seen......this is going to be tough".
Can someone explain why so many jund players are on 3 ooze. Just seems to me like it's mediocre to poor in enough matchups that you don't want more than 2.
I think the common thought is 3 in jund and 2 in abzan (path).
Feels like you should maybe cram grim flayer in here
the life gain is probably more relevant now since they all run 4 bloodbraid elf and don't want to die from Bob as frequently.
Its MB graveyard hate, it can get really big, gains you life. So overall a great card you mostly want to see.
It's the grave hate that can be super powerful.
Its just a card that is really well positioned in the format.
Hey Reid thanks for the video. I wonder if you would consider streaming with Jeskai Control some time? I have always enjoyed your commentary on control decks.

PLEASE just get the friggin Tarmogoyf
Your videos are awesome
I love this deck
On those last two BBEs I was totally rooting for a cascade into Damping Sphere, which does almost exactly nothing against E-Tron.
That Tron hand was nasty...

You present a kill next turn and the best that the opponent can do is play a second Swiftspear, and a one-mana 3 damage spell, and deal 7 damage to you (if you don't chump with the Lavamancer), and you are at 8.

TheMeatFactory thank you so much man!
Great video, I always love watching Reid play Jund but the number of ads on this video was crazy. It made me turn ad block back on. :/
yay Reid Duke
Usually I play jund but I've just been taking so many beats recently w/e I play it. I find grixis shadow to be giving me a lot better results lately.
Go Reid, go Jund.
Some pretty rough games there Reid. Are you going to be at Vegas tomorrow singling that jund again? I’ll be there rooting for you but for myself first!!!;) is jelly that you get to sleep in with a round 3 bye. I’ve just started playing again at ixalan pre release and I’ve managed to earn a first round bye!!! I didn’t even know how it worked or I would have played a little more often to get the second round one at 2250. But good luck to you and I hope you draw better than you did today, unless it’s vs me of course !!!!
Mike Churchill if 10 billion unanswered questions are reached, he will answer! Otherwise it would be too easy for Reid...
I wanted a Coke, but after that first match now I need a beer.
For crist sakes.. somebody could explane to me WHY THE HACK Reid didn't attacked with Goyf on 57:31 minutes?? Holy craap... Did I missed something?
Why not take eidolon with inquisition? It dealt 2+ damage as would the searing blaze, plus tarmogoyf doesn't die to searing blaze
Eduardo Seifert still takes 3 though from it
not killing elf in m2g2 = losing the game
Blood moon is a fair and balanced card because it symmetric
Reid
have you had a look at hoogland's jund tracker list, it seems much better suited for the current meta
maybe something like this:
Jund
1 grim lavamancer
4 inquisition of kozilek
2 thoughtseize
3 lightning bolt
2 fatal push
4 tarmogoyf
3 scavenging ooze
2 collective brutality
2 terminate
4 tireless tracker
3 liliana of the veil
1 kolaghan’s command
2 maelstrom pulse
2 bloodbraid elf
4 raging ravine
3 blackcleave cliffs
2 overgrown tomb
1 stomping ground
1 blood crypt
4 verdant catacombs
4 bloodstained mire
1 wooded foothills
3 swamp
1 forest
1 mountain
Sideboard
3 fulminator mage
2 obstinate baloth

1 liliana, the last hope
1 damnation
1 fatal push
1 ancient grudge
1 rakdos charm
1 engineered explosives
2 damping sphere
1 grafdigger’s cage
1 duress
sorry just 1 damping sphere in sideboard
Details doesn't matter if you are un-/lucky...
this is more closer to jeff's build with more sweepers:

1 ancient grudge
1 engineered explosives
2 damping sphere
1 grafdigger’s cage
1 duress
Omfg! Why can I not fast forward past one of their commercial breaks?
Just got this in my recommended again, it was a nice little trip down memory lane before FIRE design and modern becoming an absolute dumpster fire
Wow, I'm not one to badmouth people but that first Tron opponent... jeez. What a cavalcade of misplays
DOES HE KEEP THE MM GOYF TO TROLL US?!?!?!?
He said maybe they won't have blood moon 😂
Wait why would opponent fetch a stomping ground if they were going to blood moon?? Lol isn't getting a mtn just saving 2 life
Simon Willig guessing it runs 4 stomping grounds and no mountains considering only red cards are BBE and Bloodmoon
Oh good point! Rootbound crag seems potentially playable in the deck too, though not fetch-able
Those were some pretty chatty Tron players.
if you're stuck with a white boardered choke, i have a tempest one you can have mr. reid duke. ps please bring back deathcloud thanks.
Why does jund play so many lands?
SkidMcmarxx I play 23 and have never had a problem yet.
I prefer 24, but you do have plenty of ways to spend your mana in the late game, with BBE, K command and the man-lands, so 25 is probably fine. Now that you have BBE you really want to hit your 4th land drop ASAP.
At 1:07:18 you could’ve fetched basic forest to grow goyf and put a counter on scooze exiling reshaper to putting your opponent to 1 which isn’t huge but I️t surprised me that you opted not too despite having no real reason to bluff the 1 card in hand and 1 untapped land
I️ love your content btw, you’re great man
is it me or that bolt would have changes the game against ponza
Match 3 "this is why you play jund": turn four ugin
Not sure why Reid +1 liliana at the end of game 2 against tron. If he had an uncastable baloth in hand he wouldn't have been able to win.
😇
game 1: tfw you're on a heater your entire life but cant put together a video for cfb
I don’t see why Jund staples can’t go down in price Jund isn’t the best deck anymore..
Noah Golden it’s not just in jund though Liliana is used in a multiple of different decks tarmogoyf not that much but tarmogoyf will always be a good beater but not worth the price tag tbh
Yeah but they're all fucking great standalone cards!
Modern is a format where people tend to play what they like/know rather than what the best deck is, way more so than standard. Just because Jund isn't the best deck, doesn't mean there aren't still a ton of Jund players around.
Also the deck has been competitive for years and hasn't changed much, so it makes sense to hang on to it if you got it.
Jund em out
Hey wildabeast49 take a hint. When ur doing 99% of the talking it probably means the person on the other end doesnt gaf.
Snow Red
Mono-G with Moon
Tron
Burn
Eldrazi Tron
Wow, what a bad matchup league with Jund.
That eldrazi tron player was making too many mistakes...
My Lord, match 3 game 2...that hand is str8 disgusting
maybe reid feels unlucky because he actually doesn't care if the games just go wrong, maybe other content creators just post above average gameplay
Last opponent was annoying
The ad on this video was longer than it took me to click this...
Loses many times to blood moon... Nope .. won't up basics.
As someone who owns this deck, I'll be the first to admit how much I hate watching it get played. You're either very good, and lucky, or this deck is just really poorly positioned right now. This goes to show how much luck has to do with Jund!
Ya I think it's in a tough spot. It's not good against most of the unfair decks, barring maybe storm, but it's also not the best of the grindy midrange decks (that title goes to Mardu Pyro). I would actually love to see Reid pilot the Mardu deck, I think it has the right mix of unfair cards and a great grindy game.
You guys really need to stop spoiling the end of the matches with that "ready to trade?" popup. Just put it at the start of the match or something, it's really annoying seeing that then knowing something is gonna end the game next turn.
Is this another "lose many times to blood moon" video? don't wanna waste my time on it lol
Guilherme Ribeiro im on the 3rdathc and so far been bmoon 1st bmoon 2nd and tron 3rd... sooo yeah painful
Christ, Modern is the worst format in Magic.
God that buzzing microphone... PLEASE !!! FFS
(not to mention the fan sounds of the PC, that's fucking obnoxious... i don't care when i watch your content on my phone, cause the sound is not very good, but on PC with my headphones i just want to close the video..)
Reid these are painful to watch! Play some modern elves!
Why side out the thoughtsiezes vs burn I play mardu pyro and find that the trading 2 life for 3 sometimes 4 life is worth it. Plus worst case its just collective brutality or lili fodder.
David Feinberg is paying one mana and a card to gain 2 life better than anything else you left in your sideboard?
yeah
