Balaam__: I think I figured it out. Replacing Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip with Emrakul, the Promised End works because Emrakul, the Promised End is essentially immune to counterspells due to his protection from instants. I also exchanged Consider for An Offer You Can't Refuse. It seem to be working well.

Why Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip is preferable to Etali, Primal Storm?

Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip comes into play and lets you play 4 Spells (in a 4 Palyer Commander) for free and not on the attack trigger first, at the risk of revealing 4 lands.

If you're not going infinite combos, I'd take out Ancestral Statue, since it's a one-card infinite combo with your commander. I stopped running it in my Animar deck because it feels so cheap.

The biggest thing I see is you need like 10 more land, since you always want to hit Animar mana. I'd also look into more creature cascaders instead of non-creatures, as creatures will get your Animar discount. Apex Devastator, Maelstrom Colossus, Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip, and Etali, Primal Storm will add a lot of cascade power.

Hey UltimateRoxas40!

I had the same thing, I just kept looking for that Jund deck that could scratch my graveyard itch. I tried Ziatora first but it was a bit lackluster, though in this deck it's an absolute beast. The deck has been an absolute blast to play since it just works out differently every time. The other day I killed the table with 18 damage from Cavalier of Flame dieing. Another game I won with the classic Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Lord of Extinction doing 48 damage. And another I just won with Bladewing, Deathless Tyrant and zombie tokens swarming the board.

Like it says in the primer my group has kind of avoided infinites for the most part. I've even ended up cutting Dockside Extortionist since it almost always could go infinite when it appeared. But if you intend to run some infinites I'd pitch Dockside Extortionist, Sprouting Thrinax, Pitiless Plunderer, Ruthless Technomancer and maybe also include Ashnod's Altar in addition to Phyrexian Altar(Which is already in) for infinite mana. Though for infinites I'd almost lean more into an aristocrats build rather than the stompy creatures since there's so much value to be had there.

I've considered Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip briefly but it never made the cut because stealing wasn't something I was after with this deck (I already have 2 decks with quite a few steal effects in them) and I felt that the flip cost was too expensive compared to throwing in something big and dumb like Ghalta, Primal Hunger. Though admittedly I might give Etali a look again because Ghoulcaller Gisa has been kind of dissapointing, so the new Etali might get to fill that slot instead.

This looks like a really fun deck! I had been thinking about re-building my Muldrotha, the Gravetide deck as a reanimator/graveyard shenanigans, but this deck might have solidified which commander will be taking over that slot. I've been looking for a fun Jund deck to replace my Lord Windgrace deck that I disassembled, and this fits the bill nicely, though I might keep in some infinite combos haha.

Also, I've never heard of using Bojuka Bog in conjunction with Syr Konrad, the Grim, that's amazing! I might need to add that to a few of my decks.

Have you thought about Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip? He could be a fun target to reanimate and steal cards from your opponents, plus he has the flip side that can potentially one-shot an opponent with Infect, if you're into that mechanic haha.

Hey, thanks for the comment hobosss!

At the moment, I’m not looking at any changes from March. I was briefly looking at Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip or maybe Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip, but as of yet, don’t really have many cards I’d want to cut for them. For others, it’s probably a fine substitution for a Wheel of Fortune or Time of Need (especially for those not running Embercleave + Godo, Bandit Warlord ).

Thanks again for your comment!
