Strategy
Adun Oakenshield is your graveyard's best friend, turning dead creatures into repeatable resources. The core idea is to fill your graveyard with creatures—through self-mill, discard outlets, or just playing and sacrificing them—then use Adun's tap ability to recur them to your hand repeatedly. This lets you replay creatures for their enter-the-battlefield effects, sacrifice them again for value, or just rebuild your board after a wipe.
Your win condition is usually grinding out value: creatures with strong ETB effects (like Mulldrifter or Reclamation Sage), sacrifice outlets that reward you for dying creatures, and cards that let you replay stuff from the yard. Jund colors give you access to ramp, removal, and creature tutors, so you'll typically build a midrange shell that survives early, then dominate through recursion and creature-based advantages. You're not racing; you're outlasting through efficiency.
