Master of Cruelties Jund (decklist enclosed) [FNM] [REL]

[Greg54js]

Which would be the better deck for master of cruelties (3BR)? jund semi ramp/burn or grixis controlled burn? I want this to be something that will surprise opponents game one but still have enough to win post-board game 2. Suggestions for either deck are greatly appreciated and I personally am going to start putting together lists to see which will be better.

Im going with jund. You have so many mana dorks to play. You have arbor elves, and burning tree emissaries. Go with jund

Yea, he is more aggro than control. He mainly puts your opponent to 1 life. I say put heavy bloodrush in the deck. Also put the madcap skills and alpha authority combo too

Or you can do grixis and use  {Artful Dodge}

I agree, but jund has better power moves. Give him madcap skills and alpha authority and boom! Unblockable. They have ghor clan rampager for trample too. Then green/red are colors for mana dorks. I still highly suggest jund

yes dodge is a thing but only for a few months. I feel jund will be better set up for rotation in september and I'd prefer to get the maximum amount of use out of the deck as it may be the last standard I build before i leave for college

I say grixis make him and bolas your win con get then to 1 life then just searing spear or pillar, ect

Grixis is a much slower deck though and currently aggro runs this format so I feel Jund has a much better match up with naya or junk or RDW

Maybe in dark naya splash for
Him

waaayyy too expensive for me lol wish i could but Jund seems to be the best fit for me and him

[All-Mana Mania]

Ahaha just go jund. Trust me i know lol. What you want is a fast pace mini creatures, some are mana dorks. Then you want the powerhowse master of cruelties. You would also want exava for a much quicker pace.

Go jund and run  {Kessig Wolf Run} and just mana ramp to him and pump the crap out of him. They either block it and lose all their creatures and take normal damage, or they don't and take massive damage (down to 1)

Then yeah ping them with something.

True that there is more to work with, but that takes 3 cards that have to stick, dodge gives set up and kill with two cards.
