I was planning on playing Scooze in the sideboard, but I'll consider him for the main. Chalice can be sweet, especially if you get it out T1 with Spirit guide
and in terms of list being aggressive, that's what I am aiming for. I am going to try to play a modern tourny with this or a similar list this week. I'll report back after
That RUG build looks pretty fun, I'd probably run some Bolts and reduce the Faithless as I don't think you need 4 FL and 3 Commune. Definitely want some removal main deck beside flame jab. I dont have any blue fetches shocks, or filters otherwise I'd try a list like that too
The problem with Fiend is that if you delve him in for a lot, you will not be able to use his ability much.
Here's the list I'm trying, still very raw. I know you guys think I'm crazy but I really want to play Eidolon in a non burn deck and I think this has potential.
Tombstalker is still probably the best delve creature available if you wanted to go that route. Fiend is probably a close second, however, with assault loam we really are more focused on getting assault online and using some retrace spells to abuse life from the loam as much as possible. In the RuG lists treasure cruise is definitely a great add. For the Jund lists, tombstalker is definitely the best option if you want to delve a creature onto the battlefield.
Tombstalker is better than Hooter, but he is harder to cast. 6 delve vs 5 delve and BB vs G. There is no way Necrop Fiend is better than Hooting Mandrills. I think I might try something like 3 Hooters and 1 Tombstalker. Has anyone tried Pack Rat as a beater?
idolon is a game shortening card. I can only seeing that being more hindering than helpful. I second everyone else's opinion that Tombstalker is better than Hooting Mandrils in a Jund list.
I've played a few games with it on cockatrice, and having Eidolon and Seismic Assault online at the same time is really really good. Even if you take 2 dmg to loam each turn your damage potential is huge.
I'm thinking if you wanted to build with cruise that running commune with the gods could be a decent dig card that helps turn on cruise. It's what? 4 cards in the bin when all is said and done
Edit: 5 cards including the commune that goes to the bin. You have essentially paid for the cruise at that point.
I was thinking about Commune with the build I mentioned since it can grab Eidolon or Seismic Assault while filling the yard. Definitely worth trying.
I am trying to pull together a Jund list that uses Eidolon of the Great Revel and Hooting Mandrills instead of the regular beaters. Still very much a work in progress but I feel like it could be a good new take on it
I would probably drop witness for another decay in the main deck. Two mountains is probably unnecessary I would go with a second swamp. Switch foothills to catacombs so all your fetches can grab swamp if you are in a heavy blood moon meta.
I figured Red was the most important colour with Seismics and Crushers. I guess black for the discard and Lilianas?
Hey all, I have been working on a Jund assault loam list. Looking for any feedback you might have, especially with the mana base. I want to try a Countryside Crusher variant.
