Jund Devour (Modern MTG Deck)

The deck is based on placing as many tokens as you can and kill them with creatures with devour or Maelstrom Pulse with Blood Artist in play. Creatures with devour tend to become very big. On the other hand you may use your legion of tokens to obliterate your opponent.

This is the first deck I've added, constructive feedback is appreciated.

Main Board:

Tukatongue Thallid is a very good one mana drop. It can chunk block/be devoured and create a token who is able to do the same. You may use Young Wolf too.
Birds of Paradise and Nest Invader provide mana early and can be devoured later on.
Blood Artist, a very important card for this deck. Every time a creature dies you gain 1 life and your opponent loses one. It can turn the tides of a match when lots of creatures die istantly. Most of the time will make you survive early game, until you can drop the bigger creatures.
Sprouting Thrinax you can do everything with this, because when it dies it leaves saprolings on the battlefield. Sometimes your opponent won't even touch it, because the tokens can be very dangerous.
Scarland Thrinax devour 1 everytime you want.
Jund Battlemage is pure utility and sinergizes well with the deck.
Mycoloth this card is amazing. Devour 3 tokens and it becomes a 10/10 that produces 6 tokens every turn.
Predator Dragon as MarlFox said, you can wipe all your tokens and slap your opponent in the face with this monster.
Awakening Zone More mana, more tokens.
Krenko's Command Even more tokens.
Maelstrom Pulse Kill whatever you want. Especially your own saprolings.
Sarkhan Vol +1/+1 to you saproling army or steal an opponent creature and devour it. Dragons are always welcome.
Xenagos, the Reveler Even more mana, even more tokens.

Side:

Dragon Broodmother is an alternative to Predator Dragon.
Dreadbore single target removal that can destroy planeswalkers.
Fecundity not sure about this one. It doesn't help you very much if you are losing, but on the other hand it confirms your victory if you are already ahead.
Apostle's Blessing protecting your Mycoloth for 1 turn means a lot. Use it when your opponent has a lot of removals.
Fling does the opposite thing of Apostle's Blessing. If your Mycoloth /Predator Dragon is going to be removed, sacrifice it and deal lots of damage to your opponent.
Golgari Charm is an alternative to Maelstrom Pulse. It still destroys all your tokens, but also Blood Artist. The regeneration effect is very useful if you rush at your opponent with all the small tokens. Unlike Maelstrom Pulse, it can't destroy big creatures, but it's cheaper (Manawise and moneywise)
Thunder-Thrash Elder it can become and early threat. Use this instead of Scarland Thrinax or Jund Battlemage as you wish.
Thromok the Insatiable is not allowed in modern, but for casual games this card is a beast. Fling is very useful with him.

First Update — Dec. 5, 2013

Edit

I've changed a couple of things based on your feedback.

Predator Dragon is a better 6 mana drop instead of Dragon Broodmother 99% of the time.

Scarland Thrinax is better than Thunder-Thrash Elder unless you need a big fat creature early. The advantage of Scarland Thrinax is the possibility of sacrifice creatures everytime it's needed, making our Blood Artist more vaulable.

Plus, I've added side
