Hello! I'm new to both mtgsalvation and modern Jund, having recently picked up the final pieces I needed within the past month or so. I understand, both from personal experience and through watching others play, that lightning bolt is poorly positioned right now, due to rather large creatures dominating the format. I was wondering, is it possible to create an aggressive form of Jund where lightning bolt can transform from a spot removal spell in the poorly positioned match-ups to an excellent finisher? I'd really like to play more than the odd 1 or 2 I've been running with.
I think this would then just be a bad version of burn. aggressive decks either need enough reach or have something unusual (like CoCo/Chord in elves) to be effective. DS decks can be quite fast. Jund would then just be a slower aggro deck with some reach and overall you loose consistancy. I think this would not be viable. Jund is made to grind.
I don't mind the grind, I was just wondering if there was a way to make bolt good again, such that we could easily turn the corner in those slightly unfavorable match-ups and starting bolting upstairs. Maybe aggro is not what I meant, but more tempo?
