I've posted the first flayer deck I could find in my test deck collection.
I might have a jund version too, but it will take me some time to remove all the soda cans in front of my "archive"
I drink far too many energy drinks, and it takes some time for me to bring the damn cans to the market, so they take up a lot of space in the cellar.

One vital detail you should know, if you suspect running into blood moon the deck was really vulnerable against it, but we are talking about a meta where simian spirit guide was legal.

This brew was contemporary with a time where kci was present, stoneblade was present and cheerios were present, so it should be able to deal with hammertime.

It was an insanely versatile meta back then, and it actually managed to break my pro friend, which might be another reason why I still use it. Few things can break a champion, but the sheer diversity of all 64 decks made him incapable of breaking through it.

If there's anything in the build that you are curious about I will probably be able to fill in some details about the meta.

It's a few weeks ago that saffronolive from mtggoldfish tested out an older jund brew from 2015 based on siege rhino, he got decent results if you consider the fact that he rarely tests out the decks beforehand. He did it against the modern meta and what surprised him the most was how efficient manlands were, but if you compare the shift players made to field of ruin compared with ghost quarters, the manland hatred is actually pretty low these days.

I'll put up the list later today.

Here's the 2015 list that saffronolive used

Jund builds with tarmogoyf have had seal of fire replace lightning bolt in the past, and if bloodbraid elf cascades it you get to "store" it.

Abrupt decay was usually chosen as an instant, and with so many lurrus brews it will have its uses.
It's also a forgotten gem.

Maelstrom pulse can be really devastating sometimes.

I can post my 2018 flayer junk test deck so you can see what a build looks like when it's built around grim flayer.

On one side, it's definitely not a competitive deck, the formats it's legal in would crush it.

If this is some private kitchen brew, sure the "meta" might be a lot less punishing.

A small description, even one just saying "kitchen brew" would send a signal, that yeah, it's not a good deck, but I know it, so you don't have to say it.

People just forget the power cards :)
Reminding people of them might be a great business if you conserve info about what the cards were good with.

It's one reason why I advocate writing a deck description.

*Cheers the cher*
I think you need to search out the extremes.
You want cards in your graveyard, so you should search out the cards that put the most cards in it.
You want aggro things that exploit the graveyard, so you should seek those out.

It's not much of an advice because it's obvious, but sometimes people just overlook what's blatantly obvious because their minds are tied up with other stuff.

Grim flayer has fallen out of favor in both jund and junk builds, so you might want to get your hands on it.
The delirium is irrelevant on it. The key is that just like glowspore shaman it can manipulate your top cards.

The cards only get linked when you use [[]] on the chatboard.
It's a little annoying.

Yeah, forgot that there are two transmute cards involved in combos like this.
It can fetch the bloom tender while the [[drift of phantasms]] can get the freed.

Muddle the mixture.
Can protect the combo by countering, or it can fetch freed from the real.

Stream of thought.
Infinite mill, and can bring the combo back from the grave.

Sorry to disturb you, but the tag: wdm is sort of a personal tag.

You are free to use it, as mtgvault currently have no restrictions on this, but I just want you to know that if you search for this tag you will usually encounter 20 of my own decks as a search result.

If that bothers you, feel free to find another tag

If you don't mind, I won't mind either, the tags are meant to be found on my own account as only the tags on that page only display decks with the tag I made myself.

It's a self contained system, sure, the tags on the active deck page will be a mix of our tags, but on MY page, only my own decks will show up, which is why I'm indifferent about your use.

Now you know...

No problem:)

I've never played edh/commander, so I wouldn't know how to evaluate it.

Control can usually be dealt with through an attrition gameplan.

If my memory serves me right, user: theswarmer has always liked to design his decks around pox strategies.
He's been through orzhov, loam, rack builds and other stuff.

But you have to be carefull with discard, as there is a split in the game which sometimes make inquisition of kozilek weak.

One more to be tag visible.
It might take some practice to remain afloat.

Have you tried a pinch of reanimator in it?

Really interesting build.

I met a guy whose deck was made of all extraction cards legal in modern, and he had a lot of swamps as well and said he kicked it frequently.
It included discard to get the stuff in the graveyard.

I'm at modern to, and has been wondering about the three sol rings
But the overall strategy is pretty obvious.

I've seen adnauseam decks start to go aggro with simian spirit guide when their combo is gone.
Won't see that for a while though...

There's a thing called beatdown, and another thing called a clock.

Phyrexian revoker is a slow 10 turn clock, meaning that you kill with it in 10 turns.

There's a large part of magic players who are dedicated to this kind of slow kill.

Look up the weissman school of magic

The deck is toxic because a smart player knows he's dead, but he will still cling on to the game, just hoping he catches a break which he usually won't.

When decks like this reaches a certain level in competitive play people usually rage quit after they identify the deck.

Out of sheer habit
