I thought Batman Begins was just a Fantastic Film.

Also, thinking I might play Jund Monsters as SCG Vegas later this month.

I really want to jam Rakdos's Return and it's not castable in Devotion red.

No, Rakdos Devotion is not a viable deck.

The Chris Nolan Batman films were all excellent. No, I'm not a Batman superfan. Fuck you.

Captain America is one of my favorite films though.

It's nice that you are on a first name basis with the director

Haven't seen newest Captain america. On the to-do list. First one was garbage.

I can't stand his videos.

Watched the last 2, underwhelmed.

Had the worst testing session with devotion red last night, don't want to play burn, my friends won't let me play control(they're good friends) and I don't feel like being the 12th best Black devotion player in a tourney, so Jund it is.

Decks powerful, fairly consistent, and the sideboarding is fairly intuitive to me.

Plus, Rakdos's Return.

I also saw something that said it's the top performing deck over the last month which isn't really surprising and it's nice in that as a jund deck, you can't really hate it out.

Also, Jamie Park rapped his tourney report. Reading it was pretty awesome, but I can't recommend anyone actually listen to it, unless you're a fan of white folk rapping badly.

Possibly because red devotion isn't remotely playable.

Jund and Burn are both reasonable meta choices; I just hate playing a green creature deck in a format where MBC is the most prominent deck. Sure, you don't just auto lose to a competent player like you would with gr, but it's very rough still.

I always felt the Mono-Black deck was the reason you played Jund Monsters >_>

You overload their removal with threats, and game 2, you get to board out rampager and it's gravy.

I guess another reason why I didn't like the videos(or most vids) is because everyone sideboards so terribly. That's not really a major critique since often it's the persons first time playing with X deck but it does detract from the viewing experience somewhat.

And Devotion Reds still playable. The worst of I've ever done with the deck in a tournament is 11th place at a PTQ. The only real problem is that you have to be a maniac to play it well.

Some would say a fanatic. If I may stretch an analogy, it's akin to TES in Legacy. It looks like a deck you've played before(ANT) but it's both much more powerful, and much more fragile requiring a radically different playstyle that doesn't translate cleanly.

Having said that,
playable doesn't mean I'd recommend anyone play it. It's definitely not tier 1, and you'll win a non-irrelevant number of games by your opponents playing poorly against your psuedo-fringe deck. I may even play it this weekend at my 1k if I figure out a new board plan I like. Last time i played it was good enough for third place :shrug:

When I'm actually interested in playing something, I tend to have a lot to say about it.

I could write you books on:

Modern Jund

Modern RDW

Standard Devotion Red

and Standard Jund Monsters right now as I've been balls deep in those archetypes the last week or so.

I also like the BW variants in modern a lot and the same goes for the RB aggro deck pedros helped me develop, but those are on the back burner as I feel the other 4 decks are much more likely to lead me to tourney wins.

Just noticed the parallels, Red decks and Jund decks.

Guess I'm a simple guy.

Playing Monsters would also break my habit of playing decks that lose to burn.

Is Red Devo vs Burn really a bad matchup?
I expected it to be the other way around - care to explain a little bit? :0

PS: I'm mostly a monoblack player, so I'm legitimately entitled to be a n00bz0r.

Is Jund Monsters better than Big Naya that won last SCGOpen? That deck looks promising.

I think the Big Naya deck is pretty good. Not clear to me whether or not its more powerful than Jund Monsters yet.
