Okay, the decklist was updated. We dropped tasigur and added finks back to the main. Also for funny bullshit, we're playing a one of rancor to win goyf fights and make our bob/ooze/lands terrifying. Diversified the removal a bit, with:
-1 terminate -2 abrupt decay
+1 dreadbore +1 slaughter pact +1 seal of fire
The sideboard also got a tune up, dropping pyroclasm for angers, adding more ooze, and the remaining decay.
Getting more reps in with the deck is certainly helping, but I'm still struggling with sideboards and sideboarding. My meta has a lot of abzan/jund/kikki chord.
This weekend we played in a gpt for Columbus and won the byes! Hooray. I did lose to an all in 5c blitz deck which was super fast, but it was my only match loss of the day.
Here's where I start my Junding: http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=12135&d=269607&f=MO

It turns out, jund is kind of like a personal batman for me. It's not the good guy. It's the guy you turn to when things go from bad to worse. Last time I heard the call of Jund, I was on the million dollar bant deck and the format was standard. I had jaces, hierarchs, and baneslayers and I was dying to vampires. It was degrading. Throughout that standard you were either junding as a verb, or you were resisting the dark side.
Finally, I relented. I joined the darkside and it was everything I thought it could be.
Flash Forward:
We're in modern now, jund has been there in the background, grinding away. It saw me play pod, it saw pod dragged down. It watched me play twin, or as I called the deck main deck blood moon with optional combo. Twin too, was brought low. In a moment of weakness, jund reaches out through the fog of eldrazi, and the noise of what to play in modern. And then the clouds part, and I see the batsignal.
So yeah, we built jund. No blood braid, but we have goyfs and bobs. No blightning but K. command does work.
It's not the deck that modern needs. But it might just be the deck it deserves.
