2013 Modern Jund vs. 2023 MTG Arena | Magic: the Gathering | Historic

"Lightning strike: basically the same card as lightning bolt, right?" -Seth 2023

Thank you for shouting us out! "There's no way our opponent can beat a huntmaster" falling short is true 2023 jund feels 😅

I'm freaking loving the Goldfish/Cardmarket alliance.

I still don't understand why we can be combo on turn 3 but we cannot cast a bolt in historic.

You should bring Richard on to really play 2013 Vs 2023 jund. That way you can do it in direct matches too, which lets you play bolt.

Unholy Heat isn't 2013 Jund, but you could run that in place of Lightning Strike!

If you do a direct challenge on MTG arena, you can play with banned cards. That way you can get past the banned Lightning Bolt issue and have your opponent play the most 2023est of decks

Definitely didn't have to worry about the One Ring in 2013 Modern lol

Now I want to see 2023 vs 2013 vs 2003 vs 1993

While playing a standard jund brew, I’ve also been saying “basically” a lot. Voltage Surge is basically Lightning Bolt, right? Gala Greeters is basically Tarmogoyf, right? Annihilating Glare is basically Fatal Push, right? Wrenn and Realmbrealer is basically Wrenn and Six, right? :D

Appreciate the cardmarket callout

At the end of Return to Ravnica, beginning of Theros. I played Dimir Mill. Consuming Aberration, Mirko Vosk, Nighthowler, Wight of Precinct Six, Aqueous Form, and a bunch of Mill cards. I once beat a modern Emrakul, the Aeons Torn deck in a best of 3 with my Standard Mill deck. He had 4 of them in this deck. Had the whole shop watching us duke it out. After that I got a minor sponsorship from the shop to play decks during FNM with cards I couldnt afford.

This reminded me of some of my earliest days in magic, when my buddy and I both played Jund in standard. It was comprised of bloodbraid, sprouting thrinax, putrid leech, blightning, lightning bolts, raging ravine, maelstrom pulse, and broodmate dragon. I know a deck like this isn't viable today, but I'd love to be able to play something like that again. Bloodbraid cascade into blightning was the best thing you could do in standard back then, and it was amazing when it happened (unless you were on the receiving end).

I loved old Jund. And going 3-4 with cards that are 10 years behind the curve (with worse replacements) and one of those losses being Mill, which wasn't a thing to prepare for back then, that record is great!

I like Shakedown Heavy as the 3 mana replacement of Dark Confidant

Just watched the card market video this is an awesome follow up

Surge of salvation does not prevent damage to face. There still was reason to attack in 30:13

We love to see it. Thanks Seth. That was a lot of fun to watch! Little nostalgia trip down memory lane. The deck that won so many GPs brought to almost irrelevance by modern magic power creep.

The extra mana for arena and strike definitely shows against that gates deck

To expound on what Seth said, can't recommend card market enough. One of the best MTG channels out there and their jund video is super in-depth
