Even just Gilded Goose + Trail of Crumbs means you can tap the Goose, sac one of the Foods for mana, and use that mana to pay for the Trail trigger.Įventually you bury your opponent with card advantage and drain them out. With Trail of Crumbs in play, you can spend one mana per cycle to dig deeper into your deck and find the missing pieces. If you add Midnight Reaper to this equation, you also draw an extra card per one of these cycles. Oven allows you to sacrifice the Cat every turn for Food and then bring it back, draining your opponent for 1 in the process. There are many small combos in this deck, most importantly Witch’s Oven + Cauldron Familiar (the “Cat”). Jund would have definitely been better against Simic Flash, as a resolved Mayhem Devil is a huge problem for them. There were also only three of those decks in the entire tournament and I unfortunately got paired against two of them. This deck wasn’t exactly on our radar, so it’s hard to see that as a mistake. Between a quick Lovestruck Beast, Nightpack Ambusher, and Nissa + Hydroid Krasis, they can easily overrun you with card advantage, especially when it’s backed up by counterspells. I felt confident playing against most decks, but got my ass kicked by the Simic Flash decks, where they always had way more cards I needed to kill than I had removal in my deck. My record at the tournament was 9-4, good enough for a 9th place finish. I was very surprised that there was only ONE Embercleave deck in the entire tournament. Jund takes a lot of damage from its lands and draws extra cards from Korvold, so it’s fine to only play two or three Midnight Reapers, but it still felt like a big loss.īecause of an easier mana base and Wicked Wolves, Golgari feels better against most other creature decks, which we expected to show up. You only need to play a few games to realize that you really want to have as many Midnight Reapers in your deck as possible, as it often just wins games on its own. The advantage of Golgari is being able to play four Midnight Reaper, which gives you an amazing card draw engine with Cat and Oven. Bolas’s Citadel was our tech the mirror, which we expected to show up in big numbers. I was never a fan of maindeck Brontodon, but it’s a great sideboard card if you expect a lot of Embercleave and Fires decks.
Our goal was to maximize all the synergies. Jund is definitely better in the sacrifice mirror, because you have access to Mayhem Devil, which triggers when any player sacrifices a permanent, not just you, and Korvold, which can easily finish the game in one or two turns.
I tested with Stan Cifka for this tournament, and we liked the Golgari version better in an unknown field.
