Jund steal/advantage —May 28, 2024
Attempting a departure from the usual Junding; less sac & self recursion focus. Lets be honest, they made Korvald the best at this anyway. Less creature-recursion focused d/t the unique ability to play ANY card type out of the GY.
Trying to lean into mill all and GY theft. Typically the domain of blue or blue/black to fill all graveyards & steal from them. There is a decent land ramp & recursion package, because we have Green & Jund being uniquely suited to pull lands from the GY, making it at least a little different from other color combos.
There is some hand advantage with mill-all & theft, but I will probably need to look into some more card advantage. On playtesting it can be pretty proficient at piling cards up in hand & playing out of GY. Also, good at steadily hitting land drops & ramping: as such, I have put some bombs into the deck to balance out the ability to turn my opponent's GY into my engine.
If playing to the ideal, this deck can be unpredictable; with not being pigeon-holed in the usual creature, recursion, sac mold of typical Jund. It has playtested to be less crippled by a single Bojuka bog, since it works beyond its' own graveyard & has an ability to shift strategies on a dime.
