MTG Salvation

So, essentially, with seismic assault out, it's infinite damage for as long your library hangs around...

@microjfox - Has Golgari Brownscale been consistent enough for you with just Faithless Looting and Life from the Loam? Because without black you lose other ways of making him work better like Smallpox or Liliana of the Veil or just casting him and chumping.

With radha you would lose that mana after the attack step, so that's no good. Why do you play burning tree emissary? It doesn't help you cast assault.

@ hazanko
I've found that mb Abrupt Decay and sb Rakdos Charm do extremely well against Twin decks.

My list is as follows:

Seismic Assault x 4
Life from the Loam x 4

Liliana of the Veil x 2

Dark Confidant x 4
Young Pyromancer x 4

Raven's Crime x 3
Flame Jab x 1
Abrupt Decay x 4
Faithless Looting x 4
Inquisition of Kozilek x 3

Wooded Foothills x 4
Bloodstained Mire x 2
Verdant Catacombs x 2
Swamp x 1
Forest x 1
Blood Crypt x 2
Stomping Grounds x 1
Black Cleave Cliffs x 3
Copperline Gorge x 2
Graven Cairns x 3
Fire-lit Thicket x 1
Ghost Quarter x 2
Raging Ravine x 2
Horizon Canopy x 1

SB
Nihil Spellbomb x 2
Rakdos Charm x 3
Maelstrom Pulse x 2
Inquisition of Kozilek x 1
Thoughtseize x 2
Ancient Grudge x 1
Anger of the Gods x 3
Engineered Explosives x 1

With the bans/unbans as they are, the sideboard may change a little; but it's mostly been a similar 75 for a while and has served me well over the years. I am going to keep the jund colors for the deck because I do believe that it is positioned well right now.

I am thinking about a small white splash for the Monastery Mentor, which I would cut my Bob's down a little (which I am thinking about doing anyways).

But if the meta is going to shift back to Twin and Affinity being the most popular, I like my chances. I have not lost to Twin yet and only have one loss against Affinity.

I like the idea of a Naya build, but I am too much in love with Abrupt Decay against Twin.

Again, for the sake of being on my phone I will be short. The list is the same as above except -1 ravens crime +1 abrupt decay. Sb I had 3 anger of the gods, 3 rakdos charm, 2 thoughtseize, 2 maelstrom pulse, 1 ancient grudge, 1 engineered explosives (could only get 1 unfortunately) 1 I oK, 2 nihil spellbomb (I wanted surgical extraction in this place)

I am only running one manland and I want to up it by at least one. I have one raging ravine, should I add a second or go with a treetop village? Im leaning toward a second ravine.

P.S. I usually have pretty good luck against affinity. Just the random bad luck that night I guess.

I took my list to an fnm last night. It was small, 10 people. I went 3-1. I 2-0'ed a UG mill, UWR planeswalker prison type deck, and a BW d+t deck. I lost in the last round to affinity 1-2. Took second place. I should have beaten affinity but I couldn't draw my pressure in time. I was able to keep the board clear for most of the match though.

faithless looting x 4
flame jab x 1
raven's crime x 4
inquisition of kozilek x 3
life from the loam x 4
abrupt decay x 3
dark confidant x 4
young pyromancer x 4
liliana of the veil x 2
seismic assault x 4

Im on my phone right now so ill leave it at that. Jund colors and my mana base is working out for me. i have a sideboard but am re-working it, hence my question.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on the deck list as well. Thanks for all your help.

That's about what I was thinking for the sideboard I just dont own any thoughtseizes unfortunately.

I've tried darkblast and it was alright. I did cut it from my 75 though as it seemed a little worse than the 2nd flame jab. I have been moving some numbers around though and have 1 flame jab and only 3 abrupt decays main, trying to fit in the 4th.

On another note, what would be a good catch-all sideboard for an unknown meta? I have some thoughts but would like to hear from you all.

Quote from mykatdied

I would suggest trading a ghost quarter or a tectonic edge for the extra fetchable red source. I would suggest a stomping ground to help cast a Loam as well.

The stomping ground could be fine but I still recommend the blood crypt because he already has 2 overgrown tombs.

@calamity: if you're looking for more fetchables, run one more Blood Crypt. If you can get some fetches, 2 Arid Mesa's could help. Also, upping your Graven Cairns to 3 or 4 would really be beneficial imho.
