I like  {Duress} in these decks. Even if you don't get anything at least 1. you know their hand 2. If it's Game 1 congrats you now know their colours and strategy

The rock is a more stable mana base two color Jund style deck focused on g/b high removal and devastating creatures to wreak the opponent it has popped up in a few SCG open events in July aug and its slightly cheaper to build


Also I might board a or two duress in but life bane sadly doesn't work with what I want to do creature wise I mean my rock is more to control board state to let my desecration demons through or to leave weak mana dorks to defend against a pumped trample troll

Also thinking of man decking a {griselbrand} into my rock for a late game presence

I try and use {fungal sprouting} with {varolz, the scar-striped} to help keep him alive...the tokens also make great chump blockers

In that case {sporemound} along with {into the wilds} might work
