K4nkato on Witherbloom Command vs Rest in …

1 month ago

My opponent has Rest in Peace in play. Can I cast Witherbloom Command to destroy the enchantment, then mill 3? Or will the milled cards go to exile before Rest in Peace is destroyed?

Golgari Charm and Witherbloom Command?

nbarry223 on Viga-BOOM! (Turn 2)

So Witherbloom Command just didn't feel right, it didn't do enough mainboard, and just couldn't fit side. I also ended up cutting Arena because it felt win-more and I ended up siding it out in a lot of matches. Instead of adding back Lotus Cobra, I went with another fetch, because I found they did a whole lot for me actually.

I still think Arena is a solid choice, it just needs a decent amount of support and doesn't do anything on its own. It's fairly comparable to Mosswort Bridge, but if I had to pick one (ignoring support cards) I'd definitely go with Mosswort Bridge because it does so much more for me.

I could see Arena as a sideboard card if I ran Lotus Field as that was enough support for it.

Maybe Witherbloom Command to go with Lotus Field and The Gitrog Monster? Can work in main or side

I'm not sure what your budget is or what exact suggestions you're looking for but here's my feedback. I'm going to write these suggestions assuming you already have an idea of what the "optimal" Jund list looks like. There won't be any of those cards on this list because I assume you already know about them but are unable/unwilling to afford them. Overall I like your budget take on Jund but there's a lot of room to upgrade this, even on a budget.

Cards to look into:

• Inquisition of Kozilek to supplement Thoughtseize is mandatory

• Bloodbraid Elf is a two for one on a 3/2 hasty body

• Unearth brings back a lot of your stuff

• Grim Flayer and Dragon's Rage Channeler are good aggressive creatures with upsides and synergy. You might have to jam in a few artifacts or enchantments to help hit delirium though, that or self-mill outlets like Satyr Wayfinder or Stitcher's Supplier. I imagine you'd easily hit creature/sorcery/instant, getting lands into your yard might be cumbersome without fetches though.

• Witherbloom Command could help you hit land drops and enable delirium, if you want to go that route. It also does a bunch of other things.

• Goblin Rabblemaster is a powerhouse

• Fulminator Mage is good utility, at least worthwhile as sideboard option against Tron

Criticism:

• Olivia Voldaren and Reaper of the Wilds aren't all that impressive to me, same with Dreg Mangler. These cards feel like filler for this deck. I don't really like Huntmaster of the Fells  ^Flip either but it's better than the other three cards.

• Kitchen Finks seems more like a SB card to me against burn or aggro matchups, though it's not the worst thing ever MB

• Bile Blight is ok but I think Maelstrom Pulse might be better. I would only run 2.

• Birds of Paradise doesn't really belong in a deck like this. It's not the worst choice but I'd rather be using a discard spell or holding up mana for a Bolt or something T1 than play a Bird.

• I'm sure you know this, but that mana base is really sub-optimal. You might see the biggest difference in upgrading that first.

Sideboard:

• 4x Dismember? What for? You already have tons of spot removal in the MB.

• Drown in Sorrow is meh to me; I'm not so sure you need board wipe in your SB with all the spot removal and creatures you're running. I personally think you have better options for board wipe anyway: Bontu's Last Reckoning, Anger of the Gods and Kozilek's Return seem stronger to me. Damnation would be the best boardwipe but it is pricey. I would only run 1-2 of any of these.

• Putrefy doesn't seem as good to me as something like Naturalize, even if it means getting got by Welding Jar.

• Duress isn't the best SB slot. You could probably put this in the MB or just go for Inquisition as noted earlier.

• Rakdos Charm is ok, you run 4 Scoozes in the MB so you're already decent against graveyard decks.

SynergyBuild on Deep Saga

zapyourtumor I fully agree those would make it better. In its current form at least. My current strategy however is seeing if DRC+Loam+Reclaimer in a similar style to Rock's Daga can work. Might go Gruul for better mana or go junk to test Witherbloom Command.

Really want to see how deep DRC and loam can dig for value, with Lurrus, Loam, and Wrenn to use both of their yard filling capacities for value.

This initially started out as a Sultai brew attempting to use Gifts Ungiven to put cards like Life from the Loam, Academy Ruins, Crucible of Worlds, Urza's Saga, Mystic Sanctuary, fetches for MS, and Cryptic Command alongside powerful recursive artifacts like Walking Ballista or Oblivion Stone with the Ruins and loam to get it back, toolboxing a recursive engine that had so many options for how to lock down a game you just needed to decide what's best for the situation.

In the end I found loam was great, and wanted to find a good midrange build for it. Thought DRC would be sweet, ended up taking it out after some testing to see how much worse it is, and made other lists after. I'll update this one as this pile isn't the final product at all.

I don't think Beast Within is enough of a reason to go into modern. I suggest going into pioneer. Dead Weight and Witherbloom Command are nice delirium enablers in GB colors. 4x Thoughtseize is also probably a good idea. And the manabase could be improved with Blooming Marsh, Overgrown Tomb, and Woodland Cemetery.

If you really want to keep the deck in modern, you should definitely add Dragon's Rage Channeler, Unholy Heat, Tarmogoyf, and Mishra's Bauble.

Hey Blizzca437,

thanks for the suggestions.

Okay, you guys convinced me. I try the 4/2 Discard split again. Maybe I was just unlucky with all the burn decks lately.

I got rid of Ignoble Hierarch , maybe you guys are right and that's just not the deck for it. I still want the possibility to double spell turn 2, so I included 3 copies of Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer . Maybe that's also wrong, but I want to try it out.

Lavadart could be a thing, I don't think I have enough mountains though to make it work. Maybe if the deck would be more red focused, but as it is, I think a 1 damage spell is just not good enough to cut any of my other removele.

Witherbloom Command was maybe to cute, I really wanted it to be good though ;)
