Affinity And Jund Be Damned!!! 71 cards, 11 sideboard 2 {Gavony Township} 3 {Overgrown Tomb} 2 {Plains} 1 {Forest} 3 {Godless Shrine} 2 {Swamp} 2 {Temple Garden} 3 {Marsh Flats} 4 {Verdant Catacombs} 1 {Murmuring Bosk} 23 lands 2 {Baneslayer Angel} 2 {Archon of Justice} 3 {Doran, the Siege Tower} 4 {Deathrite Shaman} 3 {Qasali Pridemage} 3 {Birds of Paradise} 2 {Hero of Bladehold} 19 creatures 3 {Surgical Extraction} 4 {Lingering Souls} 3 {Elspeth, Knight-Errant} 3 {Path to Exile} 2 {Inquisition of Kozilek} 3 {Thoughtseize} 18 other spells Sideboard 1 {Surgical Extraction} 2 {Inquisition of Kozilek} 3 {Abrupt Decay} 2 {Creeping Corrosion} 3 {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben} 11 sideboard cards Notes: Playtested a budget version of this at FNM, and it held it's own quite well.  Affinity and Jund were both defeated at least once, and I thought the deck could use som extra help against the two.  Thus my version was born.

{Creeping Corrosion} is an underrated card against affinity.  It will help you so much because you just decimated their entire field.  Cards like {Etched Champion} are chosen over {Master of Etherum} in my meta, so it became a problem.  This card was the only way to get rid of it.  My deck also lacked finishers at FNM, so I added baneslayer because...  Baneslayer.  And archon because it was another way to target etched champion.  Doran proved useful against {Signal Pest} and {Cranial Plate}.  Sadly it counteracts sometimes because you want to play either that, or {Hero of Bladehold}.  Or they have {Ornithoptor}s out.

{Archbound Ravenger} wasn't a huge problem, due to discards.  Now it is much easier due to {surgical Extraction}. It gets rid of {mox opal}, {tamergoyf}s for jund. 

I need a little more help on the sb so please assist me in that! :)

Ok, I think I am going to take out the {Baneslayer Angel}s for {Tower Defense}???  I dont know, I just know it has been less useful then {Archon of Justice}. It doesn't really fit the curve.

Anybody think I should add {Surpression Field} to the sb?

Keep baneslayer and drop archons if anything. They may be great removal but I would rather have the angel to whup up on everyone in sight

Hah, I'll playtest both out, and see what happens.  The thing is, I'm putting in {Tower Defense} as another finisher to go along with doran.  Which usually shuts my meta down.  I really don't another finisher on top of 1/6 tokens that swing for 6.  Plus I think this deck has to have the removal on top of the others, because pro colors seem to be a problem.  I would drop the archon for {Creeping Corrosion} usually facing affinity, and keep it for other things.  I think if anything, I would put baneslayer sb instead. 

Any thoughts on putting in {Loxoden Smiter}?
