I think Mono Red might be better than Jund!

Hey man great job, StasisFreak. I likely would have played Jund too if i entered a recent event, so I don’t blame you for not coming up with some super0techy deck.

Nice job StasisFreak! Just goes to show you not to innovate- Dust_ and I made homebrews and only made Top 4 and Top8, respectively. The Blue-Red-White deck you played in the finals seemed pretty good; I don’t think I could have beaten it either!

Thanks for the format introduction and getting my interest piqued. Although I wish I could say that I read this and went off to build some super-techy deck for the premiere event today, I cannot. Straight up copied the decklist here with few changes to sideboard/maindeck configuration and rode the card advantage / removal suite (and some timely luck)to a second place finish.

Thanks again,

Brian (StasisFreak)

Without Sword of the Meek I’m not sure how good Thopter Foundry would be. Unless there is another way to abuse the effect in standard that I am not aware of.

Yeah LD is pretty good in this format, especially against decks that run double colored mana costs across 3+ colors. I tend to try and keep all of my double colors to a single color in a deck and run the other colors as splashes. I made that mistake in the first PE I entered. I ran a Jund deck with double green, red, and black and lost due to mana issues.

Oh, and before I forget, I started up a thread in our forums. Take a gander and share some. I’m sad, I’m lonely, I eat stories to stay slightly rotund.
