I think Auger Spree is great, the decision between that and Gatekeepers is a metagame call. I do like Gatekeepers as a secondary threat/counterspell bait against true control, who knows how much of that is floating around though.

It's been in my deck sicne the beginning and saved me a lot of times. Spell with such a great utility (removal or buffing your own guys) for 3cmc only is a godlbess.

I still run Gatekeepers though, but I have less interaction with GY in my Jund.

I've been working on a midrange Jund, try to make it different and not use the same Bombs, But took a break to try out yours. Performs a lot better but I made 3 Changes.
-2 Pellaka, -1 Griselbrand.
+1 auger, +2 Treasured Find.
A lot of fun, just want more bombs dammit. lol. but, guess until we get more Gonna see the same ones in most decks. But, I always felt Griselbrand was too much. May try to work him back in instead of 3 treasured find, I just like having one in hand.

Running without a full set of auger spree is like running without a full set of ground assault. I auto-assume this is being done, lol.

I have really enjoyed Auger Spree in this list and Terra Stomper, while being stupidly powerful, feels like overkill; I have enough bombs.

-2 Terra Stomper
+2 Auger Spree

I think we're really close to a final deck list here, thanks to everyone who contributed to the evolution of this deck.

This is my list as it stands, I cut rescue from the underworld as I was tapping out a lot and waiting for a turn to come back was so slow. With the extra removal I went to 2 treasure find.


4 x Gruul Guildgate
4 x Golgari Guildgate
4 x Rakdos Guildgate
6 x Forest
3 x Swamp
3 x Mountain

4 x Elvish Visionary
4 x Satyr Wayfinder
3 x Ground Assault
2 x Treasured Find

4 x Cultivate
4 x Auger Spree
2 x Anger of the Gods

2 x Graveborn Muse

2 x Arbor Colossus
1 x Shadowborn Demon
1 x Stormbreath Dragon

1 x Inferno Titan

3 x Pelakka Wurm
2 x Rune-Scarred Demon

1 x Griselbrand

I can get behind an extra Treasured Find in place of the Rescue, I think I'll make the same swap in my Abzan list.

Hakeem,

I'm trying to wrap my head around the satyrs...are they necessary in this deck? With your build, you're only using 2 treasured finds, so you're milling a bunch of cards that you won't get back. Can you help me understand the logic there?

For now (because I'm frustrated with the satyrs), I'm messing around with a slightly modified build:

-4 satyr wayfinder
+2 volcanic geyser
+1 mountain
+1 treasured find

I was also thinking of perhaps replacing them with phyrexian ragers - premium cards, but the extra draw is nice, and then you're not dumping cards in the graveyard.

Satyrs are important for hitting your land drops on time and getting the correct coloured mana. The mill effect is almost irrelevant but can be good at making treasure find a demonic tutor.

Yeah, I see their value, but not in this deck. You only have 2 gy draw cards, no rescues, no positive effect from having a large gy, etc. I've played probably 20 matches with the build that includes 2x volcanic geyser, and that card is winning the match almost 50% of the time. I'm not convinced that satyrs are a huge help here - you mill potentially 16 cards, including your only 2 graveyard draw cards.

If I didn't have volcanic geysers, I'd be inclined to put in darksteel amulets instead of satyrs if mana was really an issue, which doesn't really seem to be that big a deal for this deck.

Curious to hear Hakeem's thoughts behind including the satyrs?

You should stop thinking Satyr's self-mill as a drawback if you don't have 'yard interactions.

Hitting your land drops on time and being able to cast your spells on time is more important than the explosive late-game potential of a card like Volcanic Geyser. You also have to keep in mind that Volcanic Geyser can't block a Foundry Street Denizen so it makes your mulligans worse (as compared to Satyr).

I think your problem is that you hate to see your outs in the graveyard. Just pretend that the cards you mill instead go onto the bottom of your library where you can't see them, with the upside of being recoverable through Treasured Find.

I think the concern Ballz has is that the 4 Wayfinders together are going to be milling 12-16 cards into your graveyard(depending on how many land plays you get out of them), but you'll only be able to get at most 2 cards back out via your Treasured Finds, and that's assuming your Treasured Finds don't get milled. I haven't playtested the deck like you have, so for all I know the extra land opportunities do outweigh the potential drawbacks, but I can see why someone might consider them a risky choice at first glance.

There's not much risk involved, as mill decks are rare and relatively weak.

I think he was only speaking of the milling from the wayfinders, not playing vs. actual mill decks (which as you said, are pretty weak and rarely seen).

Fix mana, kill stuff, drop bombs:

Man, I must say, this is a fine peace of deck u made. Been juggling with a build myself, but ur seems very consistent. Have tested it quite a bit now. By far my favorite deck so far in 2015.

Had Charmbreaker Devils[/code] in mine, and really liked it, brutal with Anger sweep. Also ran Elixir and that green 5cc sorcery +3/+3, trample and draw, but felt like overkill. But really fun spin deck I u got everything runnng.

Havent been logged in for a long time here on the forum. But its fun to see all the posters.

Keep up the good work! //Nyarl

I haven't played the list in a while, but it is quite strong. It has access to the best removal in the game and most of the best bombs, along with excellent mana fixing. Glad you're enjoying it.

I agree, this deck is SUPERB. This one and you're Abzan are two of the absolute best 3 color builds available EASILY.

Well that's because they're both based around the same midrange core, which is the strongest archetype currently in the game in my opinion.
