I would maybe suggest dropping the Voyaging Satyr and including Fleecemane Lion if you got them. You have a huge amount of ramp with the 3-go to's (sylvan, courser and mystic) not to mention Xenagos as well. Could do with a bit more early offence. I normally play jund or dega, both have a weakness in the early game if you play against the control variants (which I use). Also drop 3+ plains to add in 3+ forests, this will help you mana a bit. Let me know what you think!

I get that it's a challenge to Jund decks, so you might want to put a comma in there (Beat this, Jund), otherwise it looks like you're challenging people to beat your Jund deck. Anyway, just sayin'. Your deck seems good, I'm a big fan of creature heavy decks that can mock the place of non-creature spells (i.e. Polukranos having some removal and Coursers gaining you life). I built a very powerful GU deck that's basically all creatures that do stuff other than just being big (e.g. Arbor Colossus has a built in Plummet ). I still think you might benefit from a few key non-creature cards like Stoke the Flames or Setessan Tactics , both very good cards in the current meta. Also, no Fleece Brothers? Nyx-Fleece Ram and Fleecemane Lion are both very good against aggro decks, with the latter having the added bonus of being able to dodge removal. If you were to run those, you wouldn't have to worry about being "too slow" with Scry lands. I think the scrying is too important in three colors to not run at least 8 (I always run the full 12). The Ram will also gain you some of that pain land life back. On a final note, I don't think Jund is really all that good in Standard right now. I feel like it took a big drop off this past rotation. Anyway, that's just my opinion, I'm sure there are some good Jund decks out there, but nothing like the last cycle.

Jund was the deck type the lost the least but pretty much gained nothing. Other decks just fell a part and new ones are rising. Jund just seems to have a bad match up with these new decks in this meta so far. But who knows? Literally the beginning of this meta lmao, so much can change when new stuff comes out in a month or two.

The decks that are dominating my FNM are Abzan tempo/midrange, Jeskai aggro or combo (or control?), and Mono Red burn.
