In the light of a certain M11 Card, I'm dropping Blightning out of my build.
Spoiler:
Show
Hardheaded Baloth 2GG
Creature - Beast
When ~ enters the battlefield, gain 4 life.
If an effect of an opponent's card causes you to discard ~, instead put ~ onto the battlefield.
4/4
My intended replacement is
Spoiler:
Show
I know that Blightning is frequently underwhelming, but you also have a sideboard. Blightning isn't thar relevant in any deck that would play this anyway.
// Lands
4 [ZEN] Verdant Catacombs
4 [ALA] Savage Lands
3 [BRB] Mountain (7)
3 [WWK] Raging Ravine
4 [M10] Rootbound Crag
3 [M10] Dragonskull Summit
4 [RAV] Forest (2)
3 [DDE] Swamp (2)
// Creatures
4 [FNM] Bloodbraid Elf
4 [ZEN] Vampire Nighthawk
3 [M10] Siege-Gang Commander
4 [ZEN] Goblin Ruinblaster
4 [ARB] Putrid Leech
1 [ALA] Broodmate Dragon
// Spells
4 [ARB] Terminate
4 [MPR] Blightning
4 [ARB] Maelstrom Pulse
// Sideboard
SB: 3 [LRW] Garruk Wildspeaker
SB: 2 [ROE] Sarkhan the Mad
SB: 3 [LRW] Chandra Nalaar
SB: 2 [DDD] Liliana Vess
SB: 3 [ZEN] Malakir Bloodwitch
SB: 2 [ROE] Consuming Vapors
So when UR Delver came out to win a GP, did Christian Calcano email/call you and thank you personally, or was there just a mutual understanding?
Legitimately laughed at this...haha
No kidding. +1 internets for a hidden gem in the standard deck help.

What is everyone using in SB against RDW? I always end up losing to that.

I'm running a pretty standard jund build these days and got mauled last week byNext level Bant.
Either by replacing my main deck blightnings or in my side, I'm thinking of adding Cunning Sparkmage or Royal Assassin. Which do you think will be the better option against NLB? Or is there a better option altogether that I am overlooking?

Mitotic Slime  as another Sprouting Thrinax  ? Works really well w Sarkhan the Mad  .
Yeah, I was kinda thinkin' about that, myself, actually. Slime also fills the 5-drop slot now that we don't have Siege Gang Commander.

Oh, really? I did not know that. Doesn't make a whole lot of sence, but I'm happy with it.
Thanks for keepin' me updated :J

New direction for Jund?
This is a rough list, but it has promise, I think with some jiggery pokey, more of a toolbox could be designed, using bloodghasts, going a heavier black route. Pitching Vengevine to find BBE is pretty much busted.
4 Fauna Shaman
4 Vengevine
4 Bloodbraid Elf
4 Sprouting Thrinax
4 Lotus Cobra
2 Cunning Sparkmage
2 Goblin Ruinblaster
1 Grave Titan/Inferno Titan
(25)
2 Basilisk Collar
4 Maelstrom Pulse
2 Lightning Bolt
2 Sarkhan the Mad
(10)
4 Verdant Catacomb
1 Scalding Tarn
1 Misty Rainforest
4 Savage Lands
3 Mountain
4 Raging Ravine
3 Swamp
3 Forest
2 Dragonskull Summit
(25)

That list has some pretty atrocious cascades, though.
