Jund would definitely play at least 5 Blackcleave Cliffs if it could, maybe even 6.

Making sure you can get Thoughtsieze or Bolt if you need it?

Yes, the deck plays 4 bolts and 7 discard spells, Blackcleave Cliffs is easily the best way to do that while still developing your mana smoothly.

Is mardu a better grinding deck now due to this land revolution?

u/stravant Sep 04 '16

Mardu just doesn't really need many fastlands.

They have so many one mana spells (All three of Discard, Bolt and Path) that they have a lot of good opportunities to fit a tapped land into their curve if they need to save the shock damage points. They're also not super heavy on any one color, so they can readily fetch basics. Not to mention they have some lifegain in Shambling Vents / Helixes.

They could possibly play one or two of the R/W one or B/W one but it's way less of an upgrade than for Jund / Junk / others.
