I grinded out a lot of DSJ over the past few weeks along with some Junk. I decided to come back to Jund and even if it's not in the greatest place there's something about it that I still love. I've been trying Kalitas and Mom & Pop as my four drops and I've liked it so far. I'm also running two Damnations and two EE in my sideboard. I tried Yahenni's for fun but it's only good in certain situations and I'd rather have Anger of the Gods.
So far it's definitely been a learning experience after about two weeks of playing GBx. I mostly played Jund this week on MODO and even though I've lost my fair share of games it never felt like I never had a chance. It's frustrating not being able to find a hate card after mulliganing or not top decking it right when you need it but it comes with the territory. The feeling of winning by Junding them out feels great though. I'm still going back and forth between Junk and Jund but I don't enjoy playing Death's Shadow Jund at all. I haven't touched in since about a week ago and may not for a while. I know it's mostly because I can't get the sequencing down and I end up overextending but I'm still enjoying the midrange style a lot more. Since I'm invested in the deck though I'm now noticing the "Jund is dead" hype that is going around. It can get kind of stupid because unfortunately the modern community loves it's hyperbole, salt and hype but it's a nice feeling not worrying about a target on your back because of whichever card that may get hit with the axe in the coming months or years.
