Jund Highlander/EDH

Main Deck (100 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

So it's been merely half a year since I posted my last deck, UWB Highlander, and I still assume most of the US players here are unfamiliar with the Highlander format. It's in many ways EDH, alike;

- there can only be 1 of each card
- A Deck needs to contain a minimum of 100cards

..and in many ways it's not;

- Starting life's 20 instead of 40
- Different list of Banned cards
- Your deck isn't built around your Commander, which is obviously the biggest difference, and has the biggest impact on deck structure.
- Highlander uses a Mulligan of its own, according to German Highlander rules.

Anyway, my goal's to take this JundBrew into competition soon, therefore any advice or feedback is more than welcome. Seasoned players, or those who got plenty of experience playing Jund decks hopefully get to take a look at this and share some thoughts.

For EDH players, this deck build could be adapted to Commander, even without massive changes? or could it? its hard for me to say as I've never played a game of EDH, but clearly some similarities exist in these formats that could help the transition.

I was thinking Olivia Voldaren might suit as a Commander? Any other suggestions?

How to Play

There's a few cards that I still want to fit in the deck,;

- Tainted Pact => ???
- Sensei's Divining Top => Nihil Spellbomb
- Goblin Guide => Mogg Fanatic

I've also reconsidered;

-Hymn to Tourach for more disruption.
- Dark Confidant, for card advantage
- Tarmogoyf, doesnt really need an explanation,

Updated 1.12.2013

I made a few tweaks in order to make the deck fit better into the current meta. 4C aggro and Naya Zoo Highlander decks seem very popular and dominant in the scene.

Added;
Fulminator Mage, Reanimate, Sensei's Divining top, Dust Bowl, Goblin Guide and Mishra's factory to the deck.

Deck discussion for Jund Highlander/EDH

kitchen finks can't go in since they are white and in commander you can only have the colors of your general in your deck.
also, things like vexing devil are weak in this format since they don't have the staying power of like the bogardan hellkite or malignus.
one more thing, who is your commander? put your commander in the side deck area so it's easier to tell. also the commander counts as part of the deck so you should be playing with 99 cards and 1 commander.

hope some of this helps

get rid of lightning bolt and incinerate since they arn't that good in the commander format either. trade them for inserrection and ascetisism.
