Jund Tokens Sacrifice – Gladiator

Even moreso than Rakdos, this type of deck has been quite popular in the Standard scene, with role-players like Esika’s Chariot, Bloodtithe Harvester and Fable of the Mirror-Breaker being quite potent here.

The idea of the list is that you’re a Jund Midrange list that cuts away some of the more generically powerful cards to let you take full advantage of the token producing cards that are already present in the list. A key example is that something like Tireless Provisioner is already quite good when you’re trying to play as much as you can as quickly as possible, but once you pair it with Chatterfang, Squirrel General or Mayhem Devil, it starts to mean these token producers represent even more damage.

Due to this, it does mean that sometimes you’re a bit of a house of cards. If your opponent is able to take out the payoff cards without struggling too much against the synergy cards it can mean you won’t be able to close out games where a more bog standard Jund deck might be able to. But – thankfully for the most part a lot of your engine cards in this list are powerful on their own. So in some cases they can carry the game and things will be alright!
