Deck Description

This is my Jund MEME deck - I realise it's not the most reliable combo but unblocked it's an instant win if you pull it off!

I'm unsure of the consistency of the manabase which is the main thing I want to work on. Also I'm not sure if I'm playing too many lands or not enough.

Suggestions?

How to Play

Idea is to mill Master of Cruelties with Salvage, Stitcher's and Grapple, or discard it to Troll, Constrictor, or Thrill then cheat it back in attacking with Alesha's activated ability. Unblocked it wins instantly because Cruelties drops them to 1 life before damage, then Alesha deals the killing blow on the damage step.

All creatures are targets for Alesha'a ability and there are 9 ways to get Alesha back from the graveyard!

Deck discussion for Pioneer Cruel Alesha Combo

Nice deck! I forgot about Master of Cruelties. It seems like it would be pretty consistent. What do you think of stitcher supplier? How does this deck hold up against Burn? I've heard burn is super good right now. You do have pulse which helps to fight it and Anger of the Gods in the sideboard, so it seems like it should do well.

Lol.. I've never forgotten about this Cruel Master of doom!

I did start with Stitcher but I found that I wanted more targets for Alesha that impacted the board rather than fueled the plan. It was great on turn 1 but terrible in later turns when I wanted to reanimate a threat. I can see adding two back in place of the Rat which just eats removal every time. Also doing this will also balance my Mill vs discard effects but just never a fan of adding only 2.

The burn match was not great hence the main Pulse but supplier might add some early blockers that fuel the plan as well, so I like that thinking actually. My last 3 burn matches I've won 2, lost one by boarding into slightly more removal but I am considering and extra Pulse in the board.

Thanks for your suggestions.
