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.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Having no boy around from after Trick or Treating through Sunday afternoon doing sleepovers at a family friend's meant consuming adult movies instead of Kpop Demon Hunters 24/7.

Watched:
Spotlight
Frost/Nixon
The Martian
Michael Clayton
Logan Lucky
Defiance
Moon
Elysium
Ford v Ferrari

What are you doing with your extra hour today? For me, I slept in, sorting through the Simic Keruga Box, watching Michael Clayton, and then picking up the kiddo from a family friend's house for a sleepover.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Even though "gain an hour" is a thing, when you have kids, you don't have that luxury.

As I've said many times, the most sensible way to determine what the party wants & prioritizes is by looking at what it does when it has power to act, namely, when it has a trifecta at the state level. Take Minnesota:

Burn. It. Down. 63 creatures.

Love the Jund Box.

I know you and I are in the minority when it comes to "bring whatever you want" and the pod will equalize accordingly, but I can see how this might try to work in a vacuum with strangers and the social awkwardness of the rule zero conversation with potentially abrasive or combative communicators.

This further reinforces my belief in that players should adopt "the box" and have modular decks with sideboards full of powerful staples, pet cards, synergistic value, and lower power alternatives to suit the needs of a dynamic playgroup and individual game needs to facilitate positive experiences.

Or in your case, Grixis Vampires. You could feasibly turn it into a four color pile of Vamps, staples, and lands.

Do it! The beauty of the box lies in its ability to swap between archetypes, commanders, and companions.

Start with 250 cards and make three to five decks out of it.

Turn Edgar into multiple decks by swapping out into Partners or go down to Orzhov or Rakdos or Mono Black.
