Deck overview

This deck is a Jund Treasure-centric midrange strategy commanded by Vazi, Keen Negotiator. The deck accelerates its mana base in the early turns using dense low-cost ramp and Treasure generators like Gala Greeters, Tireless Provisioner, and Generous Plunderer. Once Vazi is deployed on Turn 4, the deck engages in a unique political engine: gifting opponents Treasure tokens to draw extra cards and grow creatures whenever opponents spend that mana. As the game transitions into the midgame, the deck converts its massive artifact count into lethal win conditions. It leverages heavy-hitting threats like Cavern-Hoard Dragon and Goldvein Hydra, alongside punisher effects such as Bloodroot Apothecary, Pain Distributor, and Alchemist's Talent Level 3 to penalize opposing artifact usage with burn and poison. While vulnerable to instant-speed disruption and lacking deep stack interaction, the deck presents high mana velocity, resilient board recovery, and compounding multi-angle pressure.
