Reid you could publish a jund video daily and I'd watch everyone of them. watching you play jund is unlike any other magic spectating experience you are clearly on another level of understanding with the depth of jund than anyone else
I love the Jund/Modern content, but a suggestion: Maybe runback your PT winning deck in a Pioneer league just to showcase it and talk your way through playing. I think a lot of people would want to see that.
@@jonathanrfisher Maybe. I usually see that with articles. Videos themselves are technically their own revenue stream, though maybe they run ads on their paid content as well.
@@TalesOfDylan True, but piloting a more interesting deck is still better. I think that's why his Jund videos are so good: it's a deck with a ton of variance in how it plays.
“Not trying to burn you out of Jund content” try it, I dare you. It’s never going to happen. Watching you play Jund is like watching Michael Jordan play with the Bulls. It’s like watching Elton John play the Troubadour. Classic. Timeless. Perfection.
Reid, I love your humility, but I don't think anyone who watches these videos could be "burned out" on too much Jund content. One Jund video coming out makes my day, two in such a short space of time feels like early Christmas
@@youtubefrog451 yes, but we're commenting on a video where he gets assblasted playing midrange in the most linear/bullshit format/meta. And I miss old modern
Thank you Reid! You aren't ever going to burn me out on Jund content. As a jund boomer who fell out of the game for a while and can't afford to currently rebuild jund, I love watching you pilot the deck in a meta that I've been getting told jund is terrible. I love your take on the list, personally I don't see the hype on saga in this deck, and love seeing you fine tune the deck for the current meta. I can't wait until I can build this deck again! Thank you for all the fine tuning and insight you've given us with this archetype in the nearly 15 years this format has been around.
At 22:10 is there any consideration of fetching for a red land, casting a pyromancer, and THEN upticking Lili? This is the line I was looking at while Reid was in the tank and I'm not quite sure how to evaluate it. Obviously it hurts if you play this only to draw 2 gas spells, but it does give you two elemental tokens to hold the board and threaten Lili ult next turn. I think Reid rejected this line because it loses to pitch elemental + on-color pitchable + scam spell, but interested to hear other ppl's thoughts.
Not relevant in the first game since no fetchable land was left in the deck, but a little trick with Den of the Bugbear can help you snag an extra point of damage: its ability can be activated multiple times and for each instance of the ability a goblin token is produced.
In M1G2 ~29:45 you note that your Liliana was exiled with Ragavan, but actually they exiled a land - and your Liliana was exiled to the Dauthi Voidwalker replacement effect that happened at the same time.
In the 29th minute of the video the opponent attacks with ragavan and takes the lilliana.. how does that work. I thought that you exile the too card and have the choice to play it.. im confused
All's fair but like... You are THE Jund player, right? That's whg I still remember you. I used to watch for your decks after tournaments, used to look for any and all content you were in, just to glimpse an insight on the deck I've loved most since I started playing in 2008. Never going to burn out on Jund and actually this just gives me hope that maybe one day, now that I'm not 12 and actually have a job an such, I can still build the deck I love and it'll be worth it. Never stop Jundin' :D Oh and congrats on the PT win!
Thanks for the cool video. Game one though, he should have played the overgrown tomb and activated den of the bug bear twice and he would’ve made two tokens winning the game.
Trying to avoid spoilers, but I appreciate it when pros post videos with bad beats. Fate can stack the deck even for the best players playing proven decks.
54:41 so don't think you addressed it but another argument for playing pyro first is if you are going for the line of trying to discard the titan that on top of hitting thought seize to do it is inquisition. But unlike thoughtseize inquisition would only work if well first off the 2nd card was 3 or less (it wasn't but didn't know that then) and you do that before Lilly since they would obviously discard that given the chance Yes that's a small small edge but playing for those small technical points and describing them is part of what makes Reid's content what it is compared to some others.
In the 31st minute of the video when you were about to lose, why did you want a seasoned pyromancer so bad, the dauthi can still attack you. Is it because you can draw two cards when it comes into play?
Match 1, G1, I am not sure but i think you can activate twice the den of the bugbear, this means that you would have 2 new tokens + the other 2 + the den + ping, 8 dmg. I think that you locked yourself by not playing the fast land at the end.
23:16 The line I'd take here is -2 Lilliana to sac. If they respond with Undying targeting the Pyromancer, respond with Command. If they don't respond, then go from there. Your line worked out really well, though.
@@Rokedre Yes, that's possible, but if they have an Undying effect in hand (which Reid read correctly), they most likely would have targeted the Pyromancer in order to sac it and draw two cards.
Obviously I am not one to critique the original Jund player but I don't understand his decision making on the quantities of certain cards. I mean in my opinion I always choose to hedge against certain bad match-ups by focusing my sideboard on them specifically then doing my best to have the main deck consist of the best value that you're going to find in this color scheme. The idea of only playing two 'Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer' makes no sense.
If you mean at 11:35 he needed an untapped land on that turn to activate den as he drew the proving grounds and cycled into the cliffs, so he can't play cliffs that turn. The only way he can win is if he plays the Proving Grounds instead of cycling it, but that's a big ask when you have so many nonlands in the deck and are against Kiki + Voidwalker and they can just K-Command the Den if they need to off the Voidwalker.
One week you're a pro tour champion, another week you're a washed up pro slinging lilianas and goyfs.... jk love all your content Reid, hope you play some legacy in the near future
Sadly Jund seems to not really be in a good spot in 2023's modern format if not even Reid can make it work. The matches against Creativity and Amulet Titan just looked like an uphill battle from the beginning with no way to win... :(
@@12345678938594 with spells like spyro (castable from GY), man lands like Den, and infinite draws with Wren&6 + Peatland / triomes the idea is you have plenty to spend your mana on. 24 lands is perfect for decks looking to make land drops still on turns 5-6, which this deck wants to do.
Two games of flooding doesn’t essentially mean that we’re on too many lands. The change in probability of drawing a land by adding one land card out of 60 isn’t all that much.

I agree!

Perhaps that’s being reserved for paid content
@@jonathanrfisher Maybe. I usually see that with articles. Videos themselves are technically their own revenue stream, though maybe they run ads on their paid content as well.
I actually think that Pioneer deck is pretty dull to watch. It seems to play the same every game (part of why it’s good).
@Max Maloney I'd watch Reid pilot a pile of bricks
@@TalesOfDylan True, but piloting a more interesting deck is still better. I think that's why his Jund videos are so good: it's a deck with a ton of variance in how it plays.

Guys, Reid thinks we could ever get sick of watching him play Jund 😂😂😂
Instant click my guy.

Hoping Reid doesn't quit playing Jund to try minor league YuGiOh
@@ChannelFireball Something tells me Reid is much less likely to have a gambling problem than MJ did. Probably doesn't need to avoid the pro tour :P

“I’m not trying to burn you out.” Well, duh, you’re trying to Jund us out. 😂
14:51 if you had one more fetchable you could have activated Den a second time to get a lethal second goblin token
I couldn't really read the lands and was wondering why he didn't do that. Looking closer they're two fetch lands and a tapped land. It was close!
Your dedication to playing fair magic is admirable, Reid. I miss it.
didnt he just play a combo deck at the pt? also he said his back up deck was lotus. guy plays a lot of combo.
@@youtubefrog451 yes, but we're commenting on a video where he gets assblasted playing midrange in the most linear/bullshit format/meta. And I miss old modern
"I'm not trying to burn you out on Jund" impossible. I will always watch.
Will never burn out on watching jund video's from you, give me more!
Love watching you play Jund, get to see lines and play patterns you see occur rarely in current modern, and you explain them well.
That trophy really pulls together the webcam view!

The round three player's reaction after a few turns realizing it was Reid Duke was priceless!
Please more Reid Jund videos!
I always enjoy your Jund content Reid.
You will never burn us out with Modern Jund!
The Junders will never get enough esp. if you make it a little spicy heheh
Noted. Asking reid to play Modern Burn so he can burn people out. Understood.
@@ChannelFireball NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hahaha
Always fun to watch you play Jund and walk through your thoughts when making plays.

Pretty sure Reid has mentioned it in a previous video or stream, he's mentioned it's parallels to activating raging ravine multiple times
In M1G2 ~29:45 you note that your Liliana was exiled with Ragavan, but actually they exiled a land - and your Liliana was exiled to the Dauthi Voidwalker replacement effect that happened at the same time.
Burn us out of Jund 😂 good one. If there was a new Reid jund video every week I would be ecstatic
4 bolt? That's the old school Reid Duke I know and love 👌
I would watch a Reid Duke Jund video multiple times every week and I’d like it!

Probably won't see this Reid but honestly you're my favorite pro and your win was long overdue and well deserved.
you cutted a confi as well for the 4th w6 ibelieve right?
15:00 i guess den can be activated multiple times

They just sac an elemental

"im not trying to burn you out on jund"
says the man whos name is synonymous with jund
you can upload jund every week for all i care lol. Such clean magic
All CFB needs to do to make money on RUclips is to get Reid Duke play Jund whenever possible 😉
Not wrong.
No such thing as too much jund when it’s Reid
Audio is bugged
Match one was a painful floodout two games in a row, hard to watch!
game 1 round 1 15:00 you could of fetched then double activated den
Hells yeah
I live for this
Only two Ragavan? You don't like that on top deck?
I don't tune in unless it's Jund, or Legacy/Vintage

If you wouldve played the blackcleave cliffs the turn before against rakdos scam you couldve double activated den of the bug bear for the win

Any chance Jund Standard could get some love?
sad to see the state of this deck when even the master cant make it work anymore.
If this is a snapshot of the modern metagame it seems miserable for people who are trying to play real decks like Reid.
