Notes:
After a LOT of play testing, this is my final draft on my deck I originally had named rakdos liege. Runs amazing, very aggressive and awesome.

Codester1991

Literally on game 2 played blood moon turn one against grixis control. Was too awesome.

{Butcher of the board} seems weak

How does it play against the archetypes such as twin , affinity and abzan?

Beat twin rakdos charmed them second game. Affinity was decent match up lost game 3
Beat Abzan games 2-3 because of blood moon. But it's all dependent, lost horribly to orzhov tokens.

Butcher of the Horde isn't as weak as people make him out to be. Hasty 5/4 that's a flyer that I can bring out t3 isn't bad at all especially in this deck with gob tokens to feed him for days

Good, I like the addition of butcher, one because he is not on the radar and he works well with the synergy of this deck. You will always get naysayers until they lose to this fun deck!!!

Exactly lol at my LGS there's about 5-6 people who run tier 1 decks, myself including, and about half of them have this idea "if it's not tier 1 its trash." My thing is, every tier 1 deck started as an idea before it hit the pro tours. Plus I beat their tier decks with this anyways so that has to mean something :p

Have you considered {Legion Loyalist}?

Codester1991

Yes I have Although I haven't tried him but i prefer a 4/4 1 drop over a hasty 2/2 when Ashenmoor drops, although legionist's ability is great. It's something I'm gonna have to play test and see what runs smoother

Edit: call me crazy, I kind of want to put {kolaghan's command} in here as a 1 of.

Kolaghans command is amazing. So many Jund lists are playing it, sometimes SB, slmetimes MB, sometimes both.

Codester1991

So, just wanna say, been whoopin ass with this list. That is all, good day.

I still think this should happen

Could always take out the anathemancers and run three Kholagahn commands

I think three is too many, maybe 1 MB 1 SB?
