    The deck edition!

    My friend recently bought Shadowmoor's -1/-1 UB deck. I decided to research into Wither and Persist. Whereas a GWB persist deck would be odd, I found that BR wither had a TON more potential to kick ass. Therefore...ducks.

    This is a dream build for now. I barely have any money...:V

    -26- Creatures

    -4- Kulrath Knight
    -3- Midnight Banshee
    -2- Necroskitter
    -2- Needle Specter
    -3- Rendclaw Trow
    -3- Scuzzback Scrapper
    -3- Sickle Ripper
    -3- Ashenmoor Liege
    -1- Soul Snuffers
    -2- Dusk Urchins

    -15- Other Spells

    -2- Puncture Blast
    -1- Pyrrhic Revival
    -3- Incremental Blight
    -2- Blowfly Infestation
    -3- Crumbling Ashes
    -4- Bad Moon

    -19- Lands

    -1- Dragonskull Summit
    -1- Akoum Refuge
    -12- Swamp
    -5- Mountain

    I just threw this together, so let me know if I'm missing something.

    Again, I'm noob at MTG, so don't kill me :OO

    To me, Puncture Bolt seems a little blank in every most decks. Idk about this one. I'll edit this with more crit when I have time, but for now, pretty good by the looks of it, so I'll give you a thumbs up and check up on it more tomorrows :<

    Kulrath Knight turns them from Tarfires to Scars with Pacifism attached. Which is why I run them.

    It also makes PB's target my next Crumbling Ashes target as well.
     
    Play puncture blasts. Honestly for 1 more mana, it just does more.

    Play incremental blight somewhere in there as a 2-of. I've found it stellar with necroskitter when I was mucking around with wither, and it's better than retribution anyway. Again for 1 more mana.

    If you want to be brave or w/e, play power of fire, because wither combos with poking.
     
    Swapped Bolts for Blasts and Retributions for Incrimental Blights.

    Any other suggestions?
     
    You really have all the cards I was about to suggest, so bleh. [url="https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=146002]Dusk Urchins[/url] might be nice, I guess. :x
     
    Kohei: I know all three of those cards, why don't I know the combo? Fail.

    Apple Juice: It'd probably be too costly to get my hands on one, but it's a very decent suggestion. :>

    Kenny: True.

    There's also Juniper Order Ranger. Works well with ALL persist cards, not just 2/2 Peristers.
     
    OK, I've updated, but I'm now in need of more Dusk Urchins. They have just fantastic synergy with Incremental Blight (target it with 2-3 -1/-1 counters, draw 3 cards, whoo!), and are a great 3-drop in general.

    I'm looking to make this the best I can. Can you guys help me with this?

    Blightning, Terminate and Bituminous Blast.

    Well, those are obvious, Tier 1 choices. :P

    Bituminous also doesn't mesh well with the deck because it mills Kulrath Knights and Midnight Banshees, but it's useful otherwise. (It's probably horrifically expensive though :V)

    Bit. Blast should not be too expensive even with Jund being at top, since it's just another Standard-relevant uncommon (unlike Cash to Exile.)

    Dang, being a Standard player, I just get this urge to shape this into a Standard RB Blightning deck.

    But Jund's options are numerous, and for the most part, cheap.

    Kenny, don't forget Mastercard Pulse. And Walletslayer Angel? More like Bankslayer Angel lol.

    I wish I had a job; I'd buy a box of Alara Reborn and I'd be good lol
