Another Solid Podcast, A deck I’ve had a lot of luck with lately is a White Weenie deck splashing blue for only Deft Duelist MB, and a Sideboard with Negates as well as Wall of Denial. It has almost as good as a jund matchup as the Shroud.dec, but seems to have better matches elsewhere since it can be extremely explosive.
If you’re not ready to give up on jund yet, check out the standard deck that Manuel B. is using at worlds.
I have had some success with the eldrazi deck that splashes white for path to exile to give you a way to interact with your opponent. Its not as explosive as monogreen but its better against the field.
The last post should read … not ready to give up on Bant.
Back with my spreading seas idea here… Except created by LSV.
The deck went 4-1 at worlds. Not so “cute” now, huh

Its more cascade based, and generally better, but runs off the same basic idea that my Esper colored deck did.
try spread em. they interact with the opponent constantly. here is my list http://www.blackborder.com/q/node/4562
Missing the podcast. Hope to here from you guys before states.
