Why did you play the deck you played this weekend?
Because of the careful guidance/ elaborate trickery of Edgar Magalhaes and Bobby Fortanely.

Is Devoted Druid/Vizier of Remedies too good for Modern?
No, but seeing a resurgence of Company is refreshing. Amulet has to have at least one bad matchup. ;)

It's an upgrade to the old Company lists, but the deck is fine.

Jund

Why did you play the deck you played this weekend?
I believe that black midrange decks with discard spells and Fatal Push are the best decks in Modern. I choose Jund because it has the best Collected Company matchup of the black midrange decks.

Is Devoted Druid/Vizier of Remedies too good for Modern?
It's very good, but you can beat it if you try hard enough.
