The Jund Box for general consumption and use! Jund creature midrange at its finest, with companion restriction(s) for fun and uniquely different game experiences! Change the Commander, Companion, and ~45 cards a game! Turn one deck into five.

Jund 'em out.
I hate being the responsible brewer taking out a funny haymaker for another low mana value ramp piece.

The year is 2026. Lorwyn is returning and with it Nath does too. Thanks @ds7mtfbtw.bsky.social for being such a good sport about losing every permanent.

I LOVE the Fantastic Four, with Invisible Woman being one of my favorite super heroes of all time.

So I was ecstatic to be given lead of the #MTGxMarvel commander decks…AND got to make an entire Fantastic Four themed one. 😎 #WOTCStaff

(Naturally it had to be 4 color.)

This is a fun Jund deck that can ramp up big or just have major comeback games in Standard. This is a good change of pace for your MTG Arena ladder games.

I'm currently in a pod with a guy who has Grolnok as his Commander.

He's running Chalk Outline, Desecrated Tomb, and he mills HIMSELF with Fleet Swallower.

I've never been so turned on in my life.

Cirdan // Keruga is cracked. Clone package plus group hug plus trigger doubling effects.

That's the tweet.

How is it that my little dude is turning 5 tomorrow... dad life time travel is real, y'all. He's a geeky gamer like his dad, loves to dance and jam to alt rock, is doing well in his second year of pre-k, and can't wait for Dave and Busters b-day party on Sunday. Love my little dude more than words.

Still blows my mind that when I re-entered Magic in 2017 after a 9 plus year hiatus, I thought I would never own a card like a Craterhoof, and now I own two... life is crazy compared to when you're a kitchentable teenage player.

Final Fantasy was far and away the best.

After that, I'd probably say...

Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Avatar: the Last Airbender
Edge of Eternities
Aetherdrift
Spider-Man

There's a pretty large gap between EOE and DFT. Edge, Avatar, and Tarkir are all awesome sets while Aetherdrift and SPM are mid-to-bad.

Reminder that in creature based midrange strategies that Hexproof or Indestructible effects on cheap bodies are very effective.

Kira can give a version of once per turn Hexproof to your creatures on a 3 MV body. Make your opponents work through multiple pieces of interaction for less than $5 USD.

If you don't have one, go get one. Rootpath Purifer rewards you for doing things that you already do in green plus colors by ramping.

Turning a Migration Path or Cultivate into finding your Evendo, Nykthos, Field of the Dead, etc. is very powerful.

Currently just over $5 USD.

New test tonight using the Keruga Box: Jadzi // Keruga. A spellslinger, hyper ramp, huge spells deck.

Early game ramp pieces that result in huge game ending Eldrazi, landfall token makers, or huge game warping Sorceries.

Well, decided to be the madman and test this on arena.
Fun fact, you can only generate up to 2000 mana on the arena client with this. Now ya know.

Last week, I worked ~55 hours. This week (off Friday) I have already worked 24 hours. Next week, I have an average of 6.5 hours of meetings a day. I am burned out on my job and I swear, as soon as the new year comes around, I'm taking a week off.
