Homebrew Decklist: Jund Aggro

Since the "Homebrew Pick of the Week" for this week is Bloodbraid Elf, building a Jund deck around it was a no-brainer (just like everything I do...:P). For some reason I had issues creating the land base for the deck and haven't had a chance to actually test it but it looks good on paper.. er.. on my monitor..

Jund Aggro

Creatures:

4 x Bloodbraid Elf
4 x Putrid Leech
4 x Boggart Ram-Gang
3 x Anathemancer
3 x Chameleon Colossus
1 x Broodmate Dragon

Other Spells:

4 x Bituminous Blast
4 x Blightning
4 x Maelstrom Pulse
3 x Terminate
2 x Primal Command

Lands:

4 x Savage Lands
3 x Treetop Village
3 x Twilight Mire
2 x Fire-Lit Thicket
2 x Graven Cairns
2 x Karplusan Forest
2 x Llanowar Wastes
2 x Sulfurous Springs
2 x Reflecting Pool
1 x Forest
1 x Mountain


Sideboard:

3 x Guttural Response
3 x Kitchen Finks
3 x Volcanic Fallout
2 x Pithing Needle
2 x Thought Hemorrhage
1 x Anathemancer
1 x Terminate



This deck is relatively straight forward: Play cheap, powerful creatures that give you 2-for-1's and then attack with them. OK, OK there is a little bit more to it than that but not much! Your Bituminous Blasts can cascade into pretty much everything in the deck except for your Broodmate Dragon and Primal Commands. Your Bloodbraid Elf can cascade into your removal/damage spells as well as some of your cheap-yet-powerful creatures such as Boggart Ram-Gang.

Maelstrom Pulse and Terminate are your main sources of removal (besides DD removal like Bituminous Blast) and keep your opponents minions at bay until you can swing for their head. Maelstrom Pulse was an automatic 4-of because of how well they neutralize token decks as well as just being darn good, cheap removal. Blightning is good giving you tempo advantage both early and late game, it's just a freaking good card in this decklist! Anathemancer rocks the meta because most HQ decks out there are running very few basic lands. The fact that it has unearth makes it a great card to deal with 5 color control type decks as well.

Both the land base and the sideboard are still under construction but I wanted to post it for your consideration. Please comment, email (homebrew.magic@gmail.com) or tweet (@homebrew_magic) any constructive criticism you have pertaining to this deck or any of my posts. Your input is both needed and appreciated. Happy Brewing!
