Jund Tokens. Inspired by Will Lupica's Gruul Tokens (top 16 Paupergenesis) and the decks appearance on Princes of Pauper podcast
Hello Paupers!
Disclaimer: Have started playing Pauper not too long ago, so haven't played against all meta decks yet and this is my first actual brew.
Firstly, i really fell in love with the concept of [[Impact Tremors]] effects together with spawn Tokens after seeing Will Lupica perform well with it at Paupergenesis.
I wanted to know more about it and luckily Princes of Pauper and Will did an extensive podcast about the deck.
One of the main talking points was cutting [[Lightning Bolt]] to make the deck more sinergy focused. However, they both couldn't really think of any creatures or other cards they really wanted to add.
Now there's a few options for token payoffs to be found, but IMO nothing as strong as [[Mirkwood Bats]]. It gives us so much extra reach and it being a flying creature with 3 toughness is relevant too. Plus more sideboard depth. The obvious downside is having to play a suboptimal landbase.
Notable inclusions besides Mirkwood Bats:
[[Brood Birthing]] 2 copies of this card, used for lategame payoffs if you have multiple Tremors type effects in play. Big burst of damage + a ritual in 1 card
[[Crop Rotation]] This card fixes mana, can potentially exile gravesyards at instant speed with bojuka, it can make a token fetching for Garden, or deal 1 damage with a tapland
I would love to hear your opinion about this deck and hear any considerations for changes!
