The main event is team, but there are still lots of side events.
Yea I am more comfortable with Jund, but I figured both BGx decks would function similarly enough where I could do well with few reps. However, I could be horribly wrong.
However, I am starting to second guess myself and might prefer playing Abzan for the event. I have not visited Abzan in a long time, but this is the list I was thinking about running. Just wanted to get opinions on what people think should be changed. Thanks http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/10-01-18-abzan/
Only three basics with Blood Moon in the sideboard? That seems iffy. I'd also shave either a bolt or a terminate and go up to the full playset of pushes.
Surgical Extraction without any land destruction? What are you planning on extracting with it? Running a full six Lili's mainboard also seems excessive.
To be honest this looks like you just picked things at random from several distinct successful lists without regard to how the different pieces would come together. Three copies of Scooze without a single Blooming Marsh? How are you going to activate the exiling ability?
1. The basics seem fine to me, two swamps and a forest is all I really ever need to cast anything in the deck. Maybe I would need to add another forest but nothing in my list costs double green.
2. I've tried a full playset of pushes in the past, sometimes wished a push was terminate. 2 Bolt seems fine since it allows for a little extra reach or to hit walkers.
3. Surgical is not solely used to hit lands, usually I'm hitting a combo piece with it.
4. The six Lili's is something I've been trying out ever since the walker rule got changed and so far they have been amazing and quickly finish games when they are both out on the board.
5. You don't need green mana specifically from blooming marsh to activate Scooze... there's Overgrown tomb, raging ravine, stomping ground, and a forest.

I might be in the minority here but I think 3 BBE is probably the sweet spot, I guess only testing will tell. I'm basing this off of legacy Jund.

I am heading to Philly for the team open in two weeks and was planning on running this list of Jund: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/10-01-18-Ieb-jund/
