Saw this list on MtgGoldfish and it was interesting in that it has 4 main deck kalitas, traitor of ghet and only 2 liliana of the veil. I will probably sleeve it up on MTGO, but also wanted to see if anyone else thought it was good... or perhaps just lucky.

I think Big Rock looks fun, but probably not meant to be a true competitve deck. I would sleeve it up for FNM and I imagine I would really enjoy crushing with a deck no one sees coming. Keep on Rockin'!

Thanks for responding. Although I know everyone has a bad streak and I allowed mine to doubt the deck. I will press on and I am sure things will improve.

I absolutely love the Rock deck, but my performance with it lately has been average at best... and some days very frustrating. I have also tried Jund and Abzan with very similar results. Going away from the Rock style, I have been toying with Grixis Shadow and Jund Shadow finding that the results have been better since there is that opportunity for a very fast kill that the Rock just does not have. Is anyone else experiencing the same? Or perhaps this is just pilot error in the face of these fast graveyard based strategies.
I am preparing for SCG Cleveland in April and I am looking for either reassurance (Just Jund 'Em Out) or advice to look to another deck temporarily.
Thanks for any assistance that can be given.

Akalah, thanks for posting the breakdown for us. Always nice to read how others are doing and the touts on the wins and losses.
I went 2-2 at FNM, with the Arclight deck as a loss, and that was the deck that went undefeated. I have done well against that deck online and went 1-2 irl. Beginning on the draw seems to be a bigger negative than against many other decks. Also my opponant was a very skilled player... better than me. I have faith in the BG build and believe that with tight play I can beat any deck. A dash of luck never hurts either.
On to the build... I used 3 Bobs, but think I will play with 4 going in ahead. Kalitas is a favorite of mine, but likely will put two in side with none in main. Keeping 3 trackers in main and use 4 liliana of the veils... on the play she is just money. I miss abrupt decay and will have to find room for one or two in the main. I will tighten things up and hope to report a better record next week.
Since the forum is quiet I decided to ramble on as Led Zeppelin would say...

The Rock is performing well on the big stage. I will be testing this build this weekend at a local tournament. It looks like good and I am curious as to how the 3 surgical extraction's perform as graveyard hate.

An awesome primer. Many thanks. Love having a place where Rock enthusiests can get together and ask questions, debate, and improve. Rock, Jund, Abzan.., all part of the same family.
I would recommend both new and experienced to tune into Mtg Grim Flayer on Youtube and watch the matchups and play patterns. It is incredibly good content for the Modern Rock player.
