They talk about decision making at large and small scales in games: strategy vs tactics, and how randomness impacts what kind of planning are rewarded.

What do you do against Jund? That was the question on the mind of the players at Worlds 2009. Play Mono Red and try to sneak under Sprouting Thrinax? Play some kind of Spreading Seas deck to attack the manabase? The mirror? All of these options have their strengths and weaknesses, but none of them won the tournament. That honor belongs to the subject of this episode, a Mike Flores designed Naya deck featuring some of the more overlooked creatures in the format. Baneslayer Angel and Bloodbraid Elf on the same side of the field? Sure thing. Lightsaber is here to slice up Jund!
Die liebe Eden Craft entführt uns in dieser Folge in eine etwas andere Welt. Sie erklärt uns warum sie als Bloodbraid Elf auf einem offiziellen WotC Event auch im Magic Universum Cosplay betrieben hat. Aber wir erfahren auch viele andere Dinge von Eden, die uns einen völlig neuen Blick auf die Cosplay Welt geben. Besucht gerne ihre Kanäle und verschafft euch einen Überblick, was für grandiose Kostüme von dieser sympathischen Frau kommen!

The term Jund is used to describe a particular style of deck. It seems like the deck has been around since the Magic's inception, but the deck is actually newer than you might think, only premiering in Shards of Alara. This week, Jason and Coleman take a look at how Bloodbraid Elf cascading into Blightning ruled a format and made up nearly 60% of Worlds one year!
Faithless Brewing, Episode 11: Crashing Footfalls Are you ready for a RHINO RUMBLE?!? Crashing Footfalls joins the lineage of "can't be cast" suspend cards that are historically powerful and ripe for abuse. The combination with Ancestral Visions gives a critical mass of generically powerful suspend cards, in contrast to all-in build-arounds like Living End, Restore Balance, or Wheel of Fate. But what is the best route for casting the Rhinos, and from which zone? Are we willing to wait for them, or do we need to make our Rhinos right now? Roundup: Brewing After Hogaak They actually did it. Bridge from Below got the axe after just four weeks on Magic Online. The crew discusses the post-ban metagame: what's still strong, what may rise again, and what a brewer should be prepared to face. Also: decks we plan to test in preparation for GP Minneapolis. Flashback: Lotus Field We put Lotus Field through its paces in four different builds, discovering quite a bit of clunk (drawing the 2nd copy is awful, Blood Moon and Damping Sphere are embarrassing) but also unlocking several powerful synergies. Blood Sun and the Brought Back + Flagstones + Ghost Quarter package were very solid and worthy of further exploration. Blood Sun Eldrazi: 2-3 league, curve was disastrous, but Blood Sun is strong RG Assault Loam: 2-3 league, needs speed and more versatile control elements GW Brought Back: 3-2 league, Brought Back is strong, but needs better early plays Twiddle Storm: 5-5 leagues, excellent in game 1, vulnerable after sideboarding Brew Session: Crashing Footfalls We take a slightly different approach this week, as several lists with Crashing Footfalls have already seen success. However, each of them tackles the "can't be cast" problem differently, opting to cheat the card into play either from hand, from graveyard, or from the top of the library. If you want to get really crazy, you can even suspend it the "normal" way and wait. Which routes are the most effective, and are there additional enablers that have not been fully explored? Restore Dominance (Jakesbaked, 5-0 league x2)Rhino enablers: 7 hand (As Foretold, Electrodominance), 2 graveyard (Finale of Promise). Green mana: yes. UR As Foretold (KyFly1, 11-4 GP Dallas, 5-0 league, 6-2 Modern Challenge)Rhino enablers: 8 hand (As Foretold, Electrodominance), 3 graveyard (Dreadhorde Arcanist). Green mana: no. Black-Red Free (Dzy, 5-0 league)Rhino enablers: 5 graveyard (Dreadhorde Arcanist, Finale of Promise), 4 hand (Electrodominance). Green mana: yes. Living End "Fakeout" (MagicAids youtube + keatingn, 5-0 league)Rhino enablers: 12 library (Violent Outburst, Demonic Dread, Bloodbraid Elf). Green mana: no. Rhino Conjuring (Sketch)Rhino enablers: 4 library (Collected Conjuring), 4 hand (As Foretold), 4 graveyard (Dreadhorde Arcanist, Finale of Promise). Green mana: TBD. Contact Us Got feedback for us? Have suggestions for one of our builds, or testing results with a deck we've discussed? We would love to hear from you!

Coming up in the next episode of Kitchen Table Magic. I’m talking to cosplayer, streamer, voice actress, and Magic personality, Ashlen Rose. Ashlen has delighted the Magic community with her work as Bloodbraid Elf, Tiana, Nissa, Freyliese, Nahiri, and Admiral Becket Brass. Ashlen can be spotted at many GPs connecting with fans and spellslinging. Ashlen also streams with the Viper Brood on Twitch and also is part of the cast on the new show The Broken Pact. I hope you’ll join Ashlen and I as we talk cosplay, all on the next episode of Kitchen Table Magic!
Sometimes we hit, sometimes we miss. Turns out Jace is kinda meh and Bloodbraid Elf is our new overlord! Jund is back in a big way but is that the best home...?
