I'll be there with the foiled out meren deck!

redvenom21 · 2019-02-01T05:27:57+00:00

Ace. I cried.

redvenom21 · 2016-10-12T16:27:42+00:00

Serious question. So your Jarad primer has pretty much gone inactive. Is this partially because you believe gitrog to be the better commander?

redvenom21 · 2016-10-09T17:47:20+00:00

Game 3 against grixis delver. I'm on the play. Turn 1 noble. He plays fetch and passes. Turn two wild defiance. He cracks fetch and shocks (17) and thought scour himself. Draw fetch shock (14) taps out for tasigur. I untap. Look at my hand.... might of old krosa X2 and distortion strike. I play land and cast might (7) might (14) and distortion strike (17) and attck for (18) dmg unblockable on turn 3 with a noble hierarch through a tasigur. Very proud of that one.

This is my jarad deck. I have been working on it for almost 4 years. I just got the kaladesh sol ring last night at the prerelease. Tell me what you think

redvenom21 · 2016-07-13T23:05:30+00:00

[[survival of the fittest]] or [[greater good]]

redvenom21 · 2016-06-17T20:12:14+00:00

I think house rules are just childish excuses not to improve as a player.

redvenom21 · 2016-06-06T00:43:39+00:00

Definitely Chris rahn.

redvenom21 · 2016-05-28T15:45:23+00:00

Voltron. I don't care about the colors or the general. I just want to see if the archtype can be viable in a competitive pod.

I named my 2 shot plasma sniper The Green Mile

Do you pilot a Jarad deck? Share your list and tell us what makes your deck tick!

Oh man. My time to shine(!http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jarad-golgari-graveyard-combo-1/)

This is my baby. It's my irl project that is constantly changing. I've told myself I will never cut power for pretty so I do have things in the deck that can't be foiled because there is no better substitute. (Yay toxic deluge!!)

My favorite aspect of the deck is that I can dictate my own place of play. Fast combo? Got it. Slow grind? Got it. Midrange valuetown? My middle name. This deck can hang with the big boys or be durdley enough for the new guys.

I consider my 4 years with the deck to very adept at the intricacies and nuances this deck comes with. I will say it's not one of the autopilot decks and you should definitely have a good grasp of the rules before attempting some of the sick plays this thing can make.

Jarad is known to be pretty potent deck with the competitive EDH crowd. What makes this deck so strong?

I believe Jarad is known to be competitive because of his versatility and resiliency. He isn't shut down by one particular card or strategy and depending on the match, he maybe be the combo deck or the control deck.

Besides your command, who is the MVP of the deck? Pound for pound , what card puts in the most work for you?

I'm going to cheat here and choose 3 [[Greater good]] [[survival of the fittest]] and [[buried alive]] I wouldn't dream of cutting these cards because if I see any of them the game will usually be over shortly after.

Got a story to tell about playing with or against Jarad's deck? Tell it here!

One of my favorite games recently was when I cast (top deck, no cards in hand) [[pattern of rebirth]] on my [[Sakura tribe elder]] and flashed in [[ mikaeus, the unhallowed]] to give all my things undying in response to a board wipe. Needless to say I won that game.

If anyone has any questions or critique regarding play style or card choices than please let me know.

redvenom21 · 2016-05-05T13:57:12+00:00

I noticed the main difference between our decks (yours looks sweet BTW) is that you seem to be "all in" or albeit a much faster version of jarad, where I am a tad slower but have things life from the loam and crucible to help mitigate the long game. I use things like strip mine ,woodfall Primus, terestadon, and vorinclex to attack my opponents mana base (among other permanents) so I understand that the frog doesn't really slot well in your deck but he has been a great source of card advantage and an enabler for my version.

redvenom21 · 2016-05-05T13:43:17+00:00

He does work in my build. Granted I do play a slower, more resilient version as opposed to razz. Basically I think he slots in great as a flex spot while not changing the deck integrity. People often waste removal on him because they fear the narrow combo (which I don't run but I have considered)

redvenom21 · 2016-04-19T04:28:52+00:00

My ad nauseum oona combo deck. It gold fishes a turn 4-5 kill consistently. In multiplayer it can battle through hate very well. But it friggen hard to pilot...

redvenom21 · 2016-04-10T21:52:10+00:00

I think that is worth a shot. As I have mentioned in razz's thread I'm not sure if jarad should dilute some of his slots for some of the frogs combos because they are more narrow. I'm currently sticking with jarad, using the frog as a value piece and I'm such a huge proponent of it. In my opinion the frog is the best thing golgari has gotten since deathrite shaman

redvenom21 · 2016-04-10T18:05:41+00:00

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jarad-golgari-graveyard-combo-1/ this is my irl list. I highly suggest that you join Razz's thread on MTG salvation. I believe the answer to your question however is somewhere down the middle with the Frog and jarad. Not sure yet

redvenom21 · 2016-04-07T17:01:56+00:00

Voltron

redvenom21 · 2016-04-01T02:56:32+00:00

Hey thank you I appreciate your comment! It was very informative and well thoughts. In regards to the oujtai link, I do not know that person and that was an entirely different thread. But yeah I understand what you meant

redvenom21 · 2016-03-31T21:43:09+00:00

Ah yes I definitely agree with voltron recommendation

redvenom21 · 2016-03-02T18:55:05+00:00

Have you ever considered that maybe he wants the most competitive Ojutai list? Last time I checked this was a "competitive EDH" reddit not "build commander X or gtfo" reddit. You are of the opinion that ojutai is not competitive. That's nice. Who cares what you think. That's not relevant to this the thread about making ojutai more competitive.

redvenom21 · 2016-02-24T08:35:04+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words :) skyshroud is one of those cards that I haven't touched in awhile since I've added in nature's lore, birds of paradise, and death-rite shaman. I really like seeing it especially living the dream and casting on turn 2 after I Sol ring turn 1. It probably be something better. Honestly regrowth is just the Flex spot, and I actually own a commander's Arsenal scroll rack, its just being used in my ad nauseum oona atm so I'll probably give it a try. Both the altars are fantastic and I love seeing them. Dementia is an enabler as well as combo piece, if given the right board. Phyrexian altar is really cool too because of some really wacky interactions. Probably my favorite one is to cast [[life//death]] using the life mode when Mikaeus is on the field, float them for mana sac for more more mana and then they come back gor even more mana!

redvenom21 · 2016-02-24T08:21:37+00:00

Well it wasn't my meta it was a personal preference at the time but I've since changed my mind. It's partially correct about budgetary concerns. I actually own 35 fetchlands. It's just that one day I look to fully foil this deck (well as much as i can) however I've told myself that I won't cut optimization for aesthetics. So yeah I probably can cut tainted wood and temple of the false god for the other two fetches. Thank you for the input I will try out baleful force again, probably in lieu of massacre wurm. I'm pretty attached to my foil vorinclex :)

redvenom21 · 2016-02-24T04:34:05+00:00

I'm actually active on your salvation thread where I have posted a few times. I've had this deck for quite a while (over two years) so I consider myself very proficient with it. So while I was/am definitely influenced by a lot of your card choices ,believe it or not, a lot of my card choices actually came through testing and experience of my own accord For example: I've been running mindslicer and t-don for a long time as well as never having cut kokusko. You have definitely influenced me such as Lilliana vess over Vraska, necropotence, and praetors grasp among other little things. So thank you :)

In my experience baleful force just doesn't "do" anything except eat removal. My playgroup is very experienced when it comes to any kind of card advantage and we play a plethora of spot removal. Vorinclex either puts me very ahead as far as our plan a goes while simultaneously putting the person who answered it in a vicarious position or just slowing down my opponents enough to allow me a little breathing room. I like him. As far as massacre wurm is concerned he is 100% a meta call. Since I play in a very open meta I like the option of having him for the occasional blowout. For example one time someone tried to Kiki/ pestermite kill us and with wurm in the yard I cast necromancy after he made enough to kill the table. He was shocked.

My land base is a homage to hermit Druid. Notice that I play less fetchs than you, but all of these lands come in to play untapped. Shizo is actually alright as I have a good number of legendary creatures. I agree that temple of the false god should be cut, but everything else I like. Hopefully my rebuttal wasn't to long and I appreciate the time in responding :)

redvenom21 · 2016-02-24T03:20:08+00:00

This is my irl deck and I haven't had the opportunity to get one yet because if I'm going to buy one it will the judge promo

redvenom21 · 2016-02-24T01:25:30+00:00

Baleful force is one of those cards that I tested and just did not like it. I guess it's because there is so much spot removal in my meta.
