My finished product of the jundish deck I am going to build and use for the rest of the year. It fits my play style (MBC), and will for sure win me some packs at FNM.
This deck will change if the new upcoming sets have any good black control cards. Can't wait for dimir.....leeet's go bob!
Any input would be appreciated. The only suggestion I won't consider is abrupt decay. I like golgari charm better...both destroy enchantments but golgari can save my creatures and boardwipe annoying humans/mana dorks. Plus I notice a lot of people (mostly control players) have dropped 3 drops all together to make decay a dead draw.
I am debating on whether or not to run bonfire. Any deck building pros that could steer me in the right direction in terms of this plox???
Thanks
I'm not too fond of RB tbh. There are a lot of cards in here that I think you could do without though.
Keyrune? Augar spree? I definitely could see some lili action in here.
Bonfire yes. More lands for control deck yes. How can we put more card draw in here with GBR? {desperate ravings}? {faithless looting}? {garruk primal hunter} (lol) idk. {Thragtusk} {huntmaster of the fells} more midrange but life gain helps.

Yes it is not everyone's style. As for your suggestions, thanks for the input!
The keyrunes are actually a win con, as well as a mana base helper and a defense. First strike for 3 damage, and prevents mana creatures from even attacking. They are immune to sorcery speed removal ad well as ultimate price. Very important imo.
As for auger spree, it is an odd choice. Why not go with more murders or whatnot? Well I found that 2 auger sprees does some thigs very well. Firstly, it gets past indestructibility and also (more importantly) regeneration. Secondly, I have 4 creatures in the sideboard with more than 4 toughness. An auger spree could change a 6 damage hit into a 10 damage hit; possibly lethal.

Hm thanks for the suggestions. What should I take out for the bonfire?
As for the lands I admit I could use one more swamp. I don't get mana screwed often but when I do it is a 1 land hand that never gets better.
I think I'm good with card draw (4 sign in blood and 3 staff of nin, with 1 griselbrand in the sb). Plus I don't like red card draw, as stuff in my graveyard does not help me at all. Hopefully upcoming sets will offer better card draw engines for black.
And yes I tried to find jund lifegain cards, and the only ones are:
Nighthawk
Grisel
Ragemutt (bad card)
Thragtusk
Huntmaster
And this 1/1 flying lifelink from RTR. Yeeah he didn't make the cut lol. But you will seethat thragtusk made it as well as nighthawks and grisel.
It looks like {guttersnipe} might also play well with this deck. (And any other red including heavy spell based deck)
However I do realize that you will want to side creatures in for game 2, siding out half your spells.
Awesome deck might try to build it myself to try out could you check my golgari deck I posted and gimme some input?
Take out 2 magma quake for 2 bonfires
Update.
- took green completely out. F*** you green. I hated you the moment i saw you.
- put in 2 bonfires. Thanks for the suggestion on this one, it has tested quite well. I kept the 2 magmaquakes because instant speed mass removal is just too good. Can't live without it! :D
- put in another murder. Now it is a playset. Murder is good.
- changed the sideboard a bit. Deals with undying really well and can net me a whole bunch of life. Card advantage is there also with bloodgift demon and griselbrand, for those control matches (most people at my LGS run control at FNM).
Thanks for the help.
When Dimir comes out play grixis control... It's my favorite type
