Jund - The Savage Lands | Magic: The Gathering Lore

[@TheLorebrarians]

Hey all, I just wanted to address some of the errors and inconsistencies here with visuals. First, thanks for bringing them to my attention. Second, I work hard to put the best content I can up on the channel for you all to enjoy, and the standard wasn't met. Will work to improve these moving forward. Cheers, Erek

take it easy, it is a great video even if some mistakes were made. Cant wait for the next one!

[@danewirostek1903]

Video is still gas

[@theflailips1013]

Zetara doesn’t tickle your fancy?

[@brotquel1592]

I still remember the booklet included in the Shard of Alara fatpack, describing the plane... the very first sentence of the chapter about Jund was "In Jund everything wants to kill you." ... ... ... ...basically Australia.

[@Matti_Mattsen]

Oh boy, the shards of alara are my favourite bit of mtg lore next to urzas story. So glad you are covering them

[@Vidious808]

Jund is my favorite color combination. Haven't found a commander that speaks to me yet, though, unfortunately.

[@aibalta6340]

Have you tried Henzie? Nothing represents jund better than him imo.

[@raiderxs1570]

I keep trying Korvold but I just can't find a good sub theme besides token spam for him.

[@Anaverageguy41]

​@@raiderxs1570 Vaevictis Asmadi is super fun

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

I tried Lord Windgrace but after a few games with Korvold in the 99 I switched their places. Strangely the deck works great without changing anything else in it despite being a land matters deck; Korvold just eats lands instead and I bring them back LOL :P

Prosh

[@DigitalinDaniel]

Jund is my favorite world in Magic, and Devour is my favorite mechanic... it and Scavenge just have a very fair feeling of gameplay and I like the feeding flavor. Pun intended. My favorite Jund card... hmm, probably Yurlok, I'm not personally big on manaburn but I love that they used him to bring back another super flavorful mechanic.

[@BattleBrotherCasten]

While white always feels like some bullshit just happened. To me white has always been too OP.Jund is fair and rewarding.

[@thetobi583]

I usually play Golgari or simic for +1/+1 counters. Then I discovered Halana and Alena Partners. Now I'm looking into building a jund that makes deadly small numbers turn very big very quickly

[@staciefreshener4032]

The lack of Law and control makes Jund very natural With green , red and black it's quite about nature nature is steel , tooth and nail , and the red anger of all natural creatures. While I do like blue , Jund reminds me of Orcs and their bloodlust

[@FXFBS540]

Jund is so iconic to me. Alara had just come out when my friends and I were getting into EDH. It was such a good block for EDH with the wedge themes creating awesome decks.

[@alexherrington9142]

Magic to me will always be Jund vs Bant in format that isn't Legacy/Vintage. "Bloodbraid revealing Thrinax; Path that" is almost "Bolt the Bird" for me.

[@laurelindeep5394]

10:50 - I believe this is inaccurate. Clan Nel Toth practiced the same sort of elemental magic as other clans, and Meren was an outlier with her death-focussed magic. In a ceremony, the young Meren was unexpectedly poisoned by a fire-related potion (she has no red mana affinity) and was unable to connect with an elemental, having to destroy it using necromancy instead. Seeing her as a threat, her clan decided not to help her recover from the poisoning, and although she did recover, she left and went to Grixis, where she learned necromancy properly. She reanimated a dragon called Skaal Kesh (shown in her card and in Scourge of Nel Toth, which is the dragon's card) and returned to exact vengeance on her ex-clan, destroying it entirely - hence the name of the card being "Scourge" of Nel Toth and the flavour text where Meren states that all of Jund's cairns will be toppled (she wants to destroy Jund entirely). Web search for "magic story all the cairns of jund" for the wizards article that tells the story.

[@davidchan3781]

If it's worth mentioning, for commander players, Meren of Clan Nel Toth originates from Jund but crosses over to Grixis before realizing her power.

[@hexiocene]

Shard's of Alara is one of my favorite blocks, and I really hope we get to see the plane of Alara once more after March of the Machines.

[@auroram8511]

This is awesome! I had a hiatus from MTG during these sets - so missed out playing with these cards in its glory. I love it how it really fleshes out the colour wheel that makes the foundation of MTG and lore. I'm very excited to learn about the rest of the shard!

[@RockOfGibralter420]

This is so awesome!!! The lore of the shards & wedges of the color pie is so cool. Would love to see this for all of them!! Thank you as always 🙏

[@WIBYTIEDH]

Alara, much like Ravnica was a pretty pivotal expansion for MtG. It helped solidify 3-colour decks and made them some of the most fun colour combinations to play

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

3:32 I wish we got to see more of this idea in white green. Old white green had "lawful savagery" cards up until selesnya (the guild) reflavored it as the hippy 2-color combo. Now, even if you bring up the old white green cards, no one believes that white green is even capable of being aggressive.

[@UnholyWrath3277]

Idk why it bothers me but goddamit it's green white xD literally everyone I've ever met always puts green first lol

[@antivalidisme5669]

Such a Sally Ride. Mardu, Temur, Jeskai and Jund are such a part of my Magic life- with the Esper very early part back in the mid 90s' but please don't bring this up-. That was a hell of a journey, love your work and your approach, resonates such a lot. Cheers

[@hectormorales4090]

Jezzz, this was a wonderful video man. Thank a lot!!!

[@nicholasfavale5790]

Can't wait for esper

[@radil]

As always, great content, really appreciate it and can't wait for the nect one!

[@Volkov31]

Jund was the colour combo of the very first commander deck I built!

[@TheArmyofHades]

Does anyone know the music he used for the first part of the video? It was too epic.

[@Нарангэрэлэнэхэнбэ]

Thank you for our enlightment.

[@obansari]

Any chance you might explore Sheoldred MTG lore...???

[@MrZakuRetro]

great video as always

[@pablolasagamota6215]

I haven't seen the video yet and I know I'll the next shards as soon as I finish it

[@Dovahninja]

As a Prossh player this was a nice surprise.

[@JoeMWoodward]

Hey I just wanted to let you know you had a little editing blunder around 13:00 with the thrinax triplets. I'm not bothered I just thought you'd like to know

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate it! Yes someone had brought it to my attention but past the point I could change it, apologies.

[@JoeMWoodward]

No worries I didn't want to seem offensive or accusatory in anyway by telling you, I just noticed and didn't see a comment about it at the time, so I figured I'd let you know in case you didn't. Keep it up

[@lawrenceblade4437]

​@@TheLorebrarians Hey can you tell me the name of the song in the outro

[@TheLorebrarians]

@Lawrence Blade it is an outro composed specifically for the channel, the composer is Alex Wakim!

[@lawrenceblade4437]

@@TheLorebrarians So it dosen't have an official name?

[@lorenburnham821]

Stellar mate

[@dirtyhippy2966]

well done

[@divergentlife493]

What about story explanation of MTG story from the start? Users can see the planeswalkers when they show up in the game. But nobody knows the story.

Jund is my home

[@nickr1818]

Gotta Jund em Out

[@BlairsVaultOfStarsAndDreams]

I feel like mr Lorebrarian needs a fucking break, because there were several mismatched flavor-text/card pairings, and it *really* threw me off, because usually there's like maybe *one* per video, and I just assume that's because sometimes y'all couldn't find the right card picture or the card's text got updated at some point. Please be kind to yourself, and take more time between videos if you have to. :D
