not fast enough

Black isn't fast enough, also noble heirarch won't tap for black and that is the next card to go in once you get rid of this budget malarky

Then you will lose to the modern decks of nowadays. Crusader is also black, black is a poor colour in infect. SPEED!

Vines of vastwood is $1.99 each if you really want to bang on about budget. Any non-pump spell is useless apart from blessing because it is 1 colourless. Everything else just isn't as good in infect so stop banging on about it or you will just make the deck worse.

LATE GAME!? NEVER UTTER THOSE FOUL WORDS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN INFECT PLAYER! LATE GAME DOESN'T EXIST!

I think its because they are just pretty competitive, they are also some of the nicest guys I've ever met, played up against one at a PTQ and it was great fun!

Wild Defiance comes down too late, CVM played the non-budget version of this against BBD playing Kiki control and the defiance took a game (it is fantastic) but overall it was pretty poor, this deck has a need for speed and a 3 mana enchantment that clogs up your draws isn't the best

guys, when you say $14 for a play set is expensive it makes me cry, I'm shelling out double that for a single! Also, it really isn't budget but INK MOTH NEXUS! It is so much fun to kill them with a land on turn 2! I play the mono-green version of this and it is actually more expensive, around $150, it is still the best budget deck for modern though, and Tom Ross would heartily agree to keep in the blue!

Jessie, remember the conversation we had about the difference between the competitiveness and how people like to play between the US and the UK? This is a website run out of Portsmouth, in England ;)

If you look at my other deck that made the hot page, it was Naya monsters and it was called 'F**k you Jund'

Yes, because distortion strike totally doesnt just say 'win the game'...

Jund midrange was simply just the best. Aristocrats, U/W/R and (occasionally) RDW would perform, but old faithful just beat them. I played Jund at my first PTQ, a fresh faced noob with it, I still performed very well if I do say so myself. Jund was the best because it offers the best selection of cards most of the time!

Ye, for example someone told me that Athreous was huge in his area of the US, athreous would go max of 3-1 but usually 2-2. Last years worlds really can't be put into view, there simply was a best deck. Jund Midrange.

Basically, because of differences in personality, financial status (I live in quite a rich area) and finally what sort of meta you have. I have a tough meta, there are 2 rooms at FNM, a good one and a not so good one. After round 2 you will find NO fringe decks or any decks weaker than tier 2 in the good room. Then once you build up a reputation, you receive more support (as long as you don't act arrogantly) and eventually you join the ranks of the 'Tier One Fun' group. Only a quarter of the group that play at my store are in that, I'm lucky enough to count myself as one of them. Also since there are a lot more Americans, there will be a lot worse and a lot better players because of the outnumbering of about 5/6 to 1. Also British personality just makes you want to dominate the field, making everyone more competitive. I may make it sound like we are all nazis, but in fact we usually try and help the player you beat as soon as the round finishes (I've had my opponent's at PTQs give me a hand even if I've just steam rolled them 2-0 because they are simply better players than me). To be fair, you guys probably do that too, but I think with the number of people in the US, there will be many opinions, a lot of them poor. While people in the US may choose to play Stoke the Flames rather than lightning strike, and then someone will suggest a poor card and that will get some play. However if that happens here, you get told you are wrong VERY quickly, just very kindly. Overall player to player I think the UK would put up a tremendous fight against the US, unlikely we will see that in Worlds though!

That's the problem I have especially, purely because of the HUGE difference in the meta between US and the UK. For example I saw a deck that won an American PTQ but I would be surprised if it won an FNM here

If boss sligh is big in your meta, get those last breaths in ASAP, however if it is monsters or any other midrange decks then its pretty useless apart from hitting scooze or a mystic. EDIT: Or a courser which is pretty relevant

I know what you mean, in my jund trying to find a replacement for scavenging ooze is so difficult (ended up with Pharika and a whip)

I dont mean to replace it, I mean to add to the removal suite

I really think Last breath should be here, also i love some degree of banishing light, but hey I love removal!! If you have a spare moment, would you mind checking out my new brew of monsters (Jund fights back against the hate!) http://www.mtgvault.com/gothy/decks/fk-you-naya/
