Hello all. I wanted to post my list and perhaps get some feedback for my Adun Oakenshield deck. I love legends legends and I've thought Adun was cool since I first saw him online. Eventually I made a decklist for him based off of GotJank?'s Primer. My list has changed significantly since then though. Despite not being my best deck it's still pretty strong and can be brutal with the right start (as most decks can). It's main weakness is it has difficulty stopping people from comboing off but when played with non combo groups it tends to control the board pretty heavily. The basic gameplan is to slowly grind your opponent's down through a war of attrition and then attack people until they die. Without further ado, here's my list, please comment.
Two things of the top of my head that might be useful; Deadbridge Chant and Chaos Warp. Apart from being a graveyard filler Deadbridge can be a game breaker if you have the right stuff in the yard and it sticks. Also wondering why you are not running Choas Warp... red deck never leaves home without it.
Also I would like to know how well Gaze of Granite is working for you. I have thought of running it several times.
I cut deadbridge, it rarely made me happy. Yes it filled my yard but it frequently got removed before doing anything else and paying six to mill ten just didn't seem worth it.
I've always been a fan of viridian. He's really good against decks you know are going to run obliterate type effects. Seems better than farmhand to me. I would like a Pathfinder but I couldn't find one and didn't feel the desire to order a twenty cent card online.
Gaze is up in the air. It's been pretty wonderful sometimes and others it just feels like too much of a mana investment. All in all I think it's worth running. It's also nice that people won't play around it.
and as for the mention, credit should always go where its due
Sire of Insanity is insane. Highly recommend it. He's not so much there to advance me as much to stop my opponents. It tends to be easier for me to play around it than it is for other people. When people tutor but then have to pass he's great for making them discard. Or when people drop down necropotence, you can basically lock them out. He's also a good answer to Consecrated Sphinx
Krosan Grip is pretty good to stop combo's.
Are you planning to make the deck irl? Since you already have a very expensive commander and some shocklands among other stuff, you might wanna run the original dual lands. Badlands, Bayou, Taiga.You could replace Life's Finale with a Blasphemous Act, add a Go for the Throat as well.
Can't do much wrong with a Chaos Warp.
What are the most common combo's seen in your meta?
Good to hear. Im trying to work in a couple more beatsticks/finisher guys that have potential in the deck to be busted. So far a want to try out him and Ko-Ko Puffs. Having a hard time determining what to pull out of my list right now, but am looking forward to testing this guy.

I find that Viridian Emissary is a weak card in your list if your main focus is for ramping. I would rather see you use Silverglade Pathfinder, Greenseeker, or Diligent Farmhand as a creature based ramper.
Thanks for the mention as well!
