John
Shultis
on Magic
Ever
since
the
spoiler
first
started
making
its
appearance
online,
I
have
been
being
asked
what
I
thought
of
New
Phyrexia’s
sole
planeswalker,
Karn
Liberated.
And
one
reader
in
particular,
Michel
Corriveau,
asked
me
to
take
a
closer
look
and
try
and
build
a
deck
around
Karn.
So
after
much
thought,
and
after
so
much
questions
about
how
would
I
build
a
Karn
deck,
I
decided
I
would
go
ahead
and
design
one,
and
do
it
in
honor
of
one
of
my
favorite
color
combinations,
Jund
(red,
green,
black)
but
keep
it
Standard.
The
result
is a
deck
sure
to
have
your
opponents
life
totals
liberated!
Lands=22:
Deck=40
Sideboard=15 The main reason behind the deck is to get the big guys out, one way or another. If Karn is unable to do so, than you should be able to rely on your creatures to do so. Cards in the side board, such as Blunt the Assault are there for the event that your first game doesn’t go so well, and the lifegain could be helpful when producing so many tokens. While this deck should fair well against many of the main deck types today since it produces so much mana that Mana Leak isn’t a problem, it can have its own weaknesses against infect. Control can be brought down with this deck by utilizing the early game to get some mana producers out. Just don’t fall victim to thinking that you should drop Karn because you have the mana, save up some extra, just in case. When matched up against infect style decks, the tokens will be your best friends. So long as you can keep popping them out.
So
there
we
have
it,
a
Jund
style
deck,
based
around
Karn,
using
Standard
cards
to
do
so.
This
deck
was
a
lot
of
fun
to
design,
and
certainly
a
lot
of
fun
to
play.
Hopefully
it
will
do
well
for
whoever
else
desides
to
take
the
reins
of
Karn
Liberated,
Jund
Style!
