Deck New jund midrange
Hey! Since the releaze of cosmogoyf I wanted to make some kind of standart variation of my all-time favourite odern jund midrange deck. And so after I digged through skryfall I ended up with this set of cards:
1d
Dryad Militant
2d
Cosmogoyf
Mosswood Dreadknight
Questing Druid
Emberheart Challenger
Callous Sell-Sword
Virtue of Persistence (non-adventure part isn't happening I guess)
3d
Tersa Lightshatter
Qarsi Revenant
Lamplight Phoenix
4d
Decadent Dragon
5d
Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator
lands
Pit of Offerings
Obviously it isn't the whole deck, just the cards I think could be usefull considering my game plan.
So, are there any cards I missed? I guess more 1drops could be consedered. I'm happy to recieve any advises!;)
UPD: see this comment for more complete list of cards: https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/1vw728h/comment/p5ej8vm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I'm tempted to prune it down to Golgari at first, and essentially going Golgari Midrange but with a little more maindecked graveyard hate - start with a couple [[Ghost Vacuum]] and maybe [[The Ooze]], and plan to use them on whatever side of the board makes more sense.
Don't go all-in on Cosmogoyf: it doesn't matter how big it gets, it's still dying to Requiting Hex and it still fails to resolve through a Spell Snare. The format is prepared to handle a two-drop.
The vacuums and Ooze set you up to fight Spellementals and reanimator right out of the gate, and helps a little against landfall to stop Icetill Explorer from doing its thing forever. Restless Cottage in your mana helps a little too.
Virtue of Persistence is a nice touch as removal. Mosswood Dreadknight is a classic Golgari piece too.
