My personal Jund mana ramp is a little more literal mana ramp. with this you can literally pull out a Hellkite by turn 4 which is pretty hard to deal with if they arnt playing Path to Exile. heres my sugestion:
Land:
4 Forest
4 mountain
2 swamps
4 Savage lands
2 Twilight Mires
2 Fire-lit Thickets
1 Graven Cairns

Spells:
4 Overgrowth
4 Fertile Grounds
4 Rampant Growths
3 Primal Command
2 Profane Command

Creatures:
2 Hellkite Overlord
4 Chameleon Colossus
4 Broodmate Dragon
4 Kitchen Finks
4 Rip-Clan Crasher
4 Sprouting Thrinax

Planeswalker:
2 Garruk Wildspeaker

Now most of these creatures can be replaced by your choice of giant jund creatures but this is my preference and so far im undefeated with this deck =)
P.s. you might want to keep a side board of sweepers on your ( Volcanic Fallouts and Fire Spouts) because of all these black white token and kithkin decks =)

Karthus making a Dramatic Entrance with one or more Chameleon in play would make for a happy turn four or five.

I took a BRg token deck to the 5K in Indy and went 6-4. Looking back the deck was probably more cute than good but one thing that I was always thankful for was Sprouting Thrinax. It caused so many problem for other aggro players. Could you see it fitting in the sideboard somewhere?

And just for kicks, here is the deck.
// Lands
2 Treetop Village
2 Reflecting Pool
2 Fire-Lit Thicket
2 Graven Cairns
1 Twilight Mire
2 Swamp
4 Savage Lands
1 Mountain
1 Sulfurous Springs
4 Auntie’s Hovel
1 Llanowar Wastes
2 Karplusan Forest
1 Forest

Creatures
4 Nantuko Husk
4 Sarkhan Vol
4 Siege-Gang Commander
4 Sprouting Thrinax
4 Goblin Outlander
1 Furystoke Giant

Spells
4 Bitterblossom
3 Grave Pact
1 Torrent of Souls
4 Volcanic Fallout
2 Profane Command

This was abysmal in my testing against B/W tokens. It was 0-6 (all unsideboarded); none of the games were even close. Looking at the list, it seems like it should be a favorable match up. Bad luck? Bad play?

How are the matchups? I expect lots of BG elves, BW Tokens, RW, 5cc…

I was wondering how the deck faces against those decks etc!

I really like it so far… Gifts is a blowout card!

Thanks again for amazing technology

I totally forgot about Colossus being a changling, LOL that is so funny. I will deff run Karrthus in board,

Oh and I think it definitely calls for 4 Primal Command in the board. the card is SO good for us.

doing for testing today , as I did not make it to the PTQ i was planning to go to.

Karrthus stealing a Chameleon Colossus sounds pretty awesome. I could see running 2 in the board now.

I’m actually really sold on Karrthus being in the board due to Colossus.

Hmm. Well, it’s not a Mana Ramp style deck, but this is my first draft of a Jund-style deck:

4 Boggart Ram-Gang
4 Bramblewood Paragon
4 Viashino Slaughtermaster
4 Rip-Clan Crasher
4 Anathemancer
4 Tattermunge Maniac
4 Broodmate Dragon
3 Madrush Cyclops
3 Obsidian Battle-Axe
2 Lavalanche

4 Treetop Village
4 Savage Lands
2 Reflecting Pool
4 Karplusan Forest
2 Twilight Mire
2 Graven Cairns
4 Mountain
1 Forest
1 Exotic Orchard

I don’t know if I want to pursue this line of thought, or go another route, but this is definitely a fun deck to play. Broodmate Dragon is just greedy enough to justify itself, & is ridiculously fun with a Cyclops out.
