I love how you’re a true Jund die-hard. Every time I see you upload a new video, it always encourages me to play Jund, even if I already was at the time being. Sadly I’m having fun with some Death’s Shadow, but perhaps in a couple weeks I’ll hop back into our pet deck.

[@YaPapiStrap]

Reid Duke is my favorite player. Three years ago I spent an obscene amount of money to put together Jund before Goyf and Lilliana were reprinted to death. I’ve had to sell two of my modern decks but Jund is my baby. It’s the fairest of the fair and if you’re skilled enough and lucky enough, you can win any tournament.

In MTGO Leagues you can play the same opponent twice provided that the opponent has finished his previous 5 matches and is in a new run.

At 57:29 someone had a hearty chuckle at Dark Confidant getting pathed.

[@pytawidmo]

Reid and Jund! That's what I call a good start of the new year.

[@zga042]

Reid in the last game you acknowledged the possibility of Lightning Helix, attacking with Raging Ravine denies your opponent that out.

[@drew661]

Helix the Raging Ravine before it gets the counters does...

New Reid Jund Video?!?! Happy 2019 indeed!

[@coltonhall4876]

Last match round 2 against burn 1:42:06 any consideration for attacking with goyf before bolting eidolon? If they don’t block you bolt them twice and lock them out of the game.

[@ItaliansShredsBetter]

I really was expecting this. I love watching Red playing, especially Jund.

[@jonasdash]

1:04:34 - any consideration to bolting yourself to prevent the 6 life gain? they are so threat light that it feels like letting them buy 1-2 turns is less effective than the card and life loss to bolt yourself. an interesting line to consider... not sure if it's a good one, but would be interested in your thoughts.

[@abirr1780]

Did Reid leave in abrupt decay only to answer thing in the ice? I would have kept assassins trophy in and taken out abrupt decay instead

[@1matzeplayer1]

I think he might have just missed that one 🤔

[@benwallace1293]

Yeah he said that he missed that card while sideboarding

[@thewtfpwnzor]

1:22:25

[@WyldRage]

1:21:46 The typical amount of Crackling Drakes in an Izzet Phoenix Deck is 3, and the deck tends to find them easily, due to their cantrips.

[@ericoverbey4388]

How do you feel about no bbe and instead a number of tracker? I've played it a couple of times and it feels nice for the fact we can play it turn 4 and have a clue and land up for a bolt or push.

[@GRat9717]

Oh look Reid Duke and Jund again.

[@corey1598]

So at 1:42:00, what if we attack with Goyf. Assume our opponent does not block with Eidolon. Bolt them twice, they go to 2, can't cast spells. We're at 6. They also can't attack us. And I'm trying to consider scenarios where the top of our deck isn't lightning bolt, this is still fine right?

[@LadyLynxes]

This just makes me even more hyped for Allegiance. Working mana base should help us try and resurrect this archetype in standard.

[@andrewbrown1675]

At 1:43:00 I think the correct play was to power up the ravine, this forces the burn player to helix your ravine instead of you, but I guess on the other hand it is a worse play against a bolt. IDK tough decision.

[@evanmacarthur-waltz1795]

At around 29:30, I am pretty sure the play was to chump with Bob, and kill the imaged Bulger, that way you still had a scooze in play which could stabilize you if you got removal for the rider.

[@WarMhoc]

Reid, first of all, thank you for the great effort you put it in your work. It help us a lot in our skill development. If i may, i think you should have played a little bit different In match 1, g2. Instead of discarding chart a course with the second inquisition, you should have discarded manamorphose, since it was the only card that allowed the opponent to play multiple spells in that turn. Against phoenix, you should always tax their lands and Target their cheap spells, to make it difficult for them to play multiples spells in the same turn. Kind regards from Brazil 😬

[@fog589]

That last game? Why not hit with goyf and drop opponent to 8 leaving Eidolon in play. Then hit opp with bolts drop your opponent to 2 life and so he/she can not cast a single spell for the rest of the game. You would have 6 life and have Raging ravine and goyf? O:-) 1:42:01

[@Kieza12]

I thought that too. But if the opponent blocks they'll probably live for an extra turn, which means an extra card and a lot more outs that just lightning helix.

[@busTedOaS]

Attacking with Goyf seems good, but why on earth would you then double bolt? Just wait until they DO play something, THEN double bolt for the win.

[@camodude51]

Please show and keep track of revealed card zone would be good

[@ungulatemanalpha]

Crackling Drake + Arclight are an absolute beating for a deck playing Abrupt Decay, huh? There aren't realistically enough slots to sideboard for everything, but Trophy and Fatal Push both seem like relevant considerations if they're a significant part of the metagame. Although now looking at your decklist again I presume you sideboarded them and didn't draw them, whoops.

[@OriginRushHQ]

Game 1 match up looks tough

[@TotallyTribal]

Match 1 vs aspiringspike... Was he a streamer 2 years ago?

[@MartGriffin]

I'm confused by the blocks at 29:00, if you're in the market for Bob to die why not chump the real Bugler and use Lavamancer to get the Image-Bugler to sacrifice itself? You get to keep Lavamancer and Ooze, untap, ping Lieutenant, gain 2, live the attack on 1 (assuming nothing untoward happens)?

[@richardfindling5844]

I actually thought of this too, but the Lavamancer should probably just kill the real Bugler, cause the copy is easier to kill later on.

[@HammerAndSickled]

He only had one card in the yard, so Lavamancer couldn't activate until after damage.

[@MartGriffin]

@@HammerAndSickled Brilliant, thanks! I figured I must have missed something :)

[@richardfindling5844]

Yes, but he could have gained two life with the ooze to don’t die and kill the Bugler post combat.

[@SuperShotgun45]

Why not attack with the ravine at the last moment of the last game

[@YourPalJamieEllis]

That turn 4 against Arclight Phoenix wouldn't be a bad what's the play article.

[@SkarmoryHunter]

Why not play Tireless Tracker over Dark Confidant? TT grows really fast and Clues give excellent card advantage without risking your health total.

[@cullanmurray46]

SkarmoryHunter as a whole Confidant is better. While the downside is that you may lose life when you really don’t want to or need to but the advantage is essential. Tracker is three mana and the generation of clue tokens is based on land drops which aren’t always guaranteed. Plus the difference between two and three mana is big in modern.

[@nimblelafitte1923]

it's incredibly too slow for modern. if the draws are what you're actually after

[@Chilllinz]

That choke in match 3 was almost too much... wow

[@PMH0phil]

Game 2 of match 1, you talked about how bad the decay was in the matchup, yet discarded bolt to Liliana instead. Bolt would have killed the arclight, kept your Liliana around to kill the crackling drake and you would have likely won the game vs a mostly empty handed opponent. Edit: whoops Reid didn't have red mana

@@morris9703 He's been playing 25 lands before, and now he switched to 24 as he lowered his curve a bit to combat the faster aggressive decks. The ravines are sorted in the second column in his deck tech, maybe you missed them?

[@brickchains1]

gut shot is hot... thats why u run less bobb

[@ner04ever]

1:43:10 you had lethal with ravine right?

[@Readceras]

ner04ever The opponent could then target the ravine with any 3 points instant speed burn spell before attackers are declared to avoid lethal. Animating ravine does have its appeal though, since if Reid stuck with his read and specifically wanted to play around lightning helix, an animated ravine would prevent the opponent from targetting face that turn. The opponent would then untap with three cards in hand, and would have to deal four more damage, which is non-trivial given the burn he used on the ravine and his incapability to do so a turn ago on two mana. If Reid gets to untap again, he could then deal with a potential blocking goblin guide with his bolt.

[@Midnightv]

Risk factor... Wow. Just wow

[@jlcapdevila]

huge misplay giving 3 cards on the first risk factor imo
