"Green, black and red have answers to just about anything in standard right now. Green has powerful creatures that can glue a deck together while hitting other strategies where theyre weakest. Black has access to excellent disruption and can kill the biggest creatures in standard with ease. Red is sleek and efficient, providing great ways to deal with crowds of tiny creatures and deal extra damage to players and planeswalkers. Together, these colors can do a whole lot. So, lets put them to work.

While many other Jund archetypes focus on a slew of unimpressive creatures that generate marginal card advantage (Phyrexian Rager, Im looking at you) while using disruption and creature kill to stay alive while they try to get a Mimic Vat or similar online Zenith Jund takes a very different approach. Zenith Jund eschews the low quality creatures that many lists run and focuses on an engine that gives the deck the versatility and power it needs to keep pace with tier 1 decks everywhere.

That Engine?

Green Suns Zenith.

The green zenith is an absolute powerhouse of a card, allowing us to run a package of powerful, efficient creatures that utterly destroy opposing strategies. By running even 2 copies of a specific green creature, having [4] Green Suns Zenith in the deck instantly makes it like youre running [six] copies. The Zenith not only gives you incredible control over your deck, it drastically increases your access to the creatures most likely to cause your opponents deck pain. Zenith Jund allows a skilled player to find a chink in the opponents armor Then drive a bulldozer through it.

The Zenith Engine is then supplemented with the best black disruption and red board control as well as the most powerful finishers in the colors for breaking the metagame in half."- StairC of mtgsalvation forums introduction of Zenith Jund archetype.

And listed here is my take on the Zenith Jund.
