Despite how trolling this post, I'll give you a real answer.

Boggar ram gang was always the three drop of choice for Jund when it was in standard at the same time. And in extended, ram-gang is very strong, giving you a very quick clock, taking out the walls of tanglecors that are popular and the wall of omens that UW etc are playing. Also, it kills finks. BBE into Ram-gang is very strong.

Who's running these cards? All the winning players, so go figure....

Winning players? Jund isn't posting the numbers in extended the way it used to in standard here in the states... Fae, 5 and 4cc, and Scapeshift brews are all doing well and Naya is posting some good showings... but Jund isn't like running away enough that I would say "winning players" are playing that. I would say if nothing else, Fae still holds that.... which is funny because some versions of Jund just clean the Fae clock good.

If you look at the best resource at the moment for meta-breakdown, TC decks, you'll see Jund is currently the second most successful deck in the format:

Naya and scapeshift are a 3rd less sucessful. Please do your research in future.

The problem matchup I see currently for jund is valakut/scapeshift. Junds are not being fast enough for that matchup (kind of like T2 aggros vs valakut, being fast enough requires effort in deckdesign). I put the lotus cobras in my list to be faster (turn 3 BBE cascading into ramgang attacking for 8 sounded good) but it requires some more work.  Myabe goblin guides or just a different kind of RG aggro? Maybe swap some demigods for vengevines..

Naya most likely fares better against valakut due to having more hate against it, namely runed halo , leyline of sanctity and gaddock teeg .

The thing is the valakut/scapeshift matchup. Fae runs counters, making it more versatile whereas jund doesn't have anything special to show for that matchup. Even though Id imagine junds being very favored against fae.

I have been using Star City Games to keep track of results. The format in relation to the US is the most important to me and i would guess other users (since the players need to know what is doing well in the US because those are the decks you will see IN THE US).

Not all of us live in the US.

If you have good players in your area, they'll be looking at all the resultseta, which means you should be to. If they are bad players, then you have an easy ride anyway.

Also, a lot of these Jund decks ARE in the the US. Most of the results tend to be US, since a lot of european and asian results don't get added to sites as often.

With lorwyn block supposedly rotating, are jund decks expected to go back to broodmates with the loss of demigod of revenge?
