Comments on: 7 Reasons Why Nissa Monument is a Tough Matchup for Jund http://magicgameplan.com/blog/nissa-tough-matchup-for-jund/ Fri, 11 May 2012 19:29:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dee http://magicgameplan.com/blog/nissa-tough-matchup-for-jund/comment-page-1/#comment-1037 Dee Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:04:29 +0000 http://magicgameplan.com/blog/nissa-tough-matchup-for-jund/#comment-1037 Fallout vs Jund Charm is an interesting debate but pretty much every winning Jund deck I've seen has played Charm. Jund Charm can fight Crypt of Agadeem decks while Fallout can hurt walkers. I think Jund Charm is slightly easier to cast. And the life loss is a drawback versus Boros Bushwhacker and Red Deck Wins.

Maelstrom Pulse+fallout could be good. Fallout in response to monument hitting the board could set them back even if it doesn't kill ant queen or Stag. Then pulse the monument on your turn. Its still tough to pull off since you essentially need both cards in your hand for this to work, but both cards are completely main-deckable and aren't too shabby should the monument never see the board either.

The card I'm considering is Caldera Hellion, since I've seen it in some of the top lists on Magic Online. The problem with Naturalize is that it’s a dead card if they don’t draw Eldrazi Monument.

I'd consider 2-3 spots for Naturalize in the board. It does well vs white control so it's not a completely dead card in all other matchups.

But I think going after Oran-Rief may not be the best strategy since you trade a spell for a land and Nissa will rarely be mana screwed from land destruction. Nissa has 24 lands, 10 mana accel dudes, Garruk, and Visionary. That's just my quick judgment though and I could be wrong. Hm, that might work.

I know its a "bad" card, but it answers monument and oran-rief. Nice timely article, btw, thanks! What about Demolish out of the side? I know its a “bad” card, but it answers monument and oran-rief.
