BR and Jund (Basically BR plus Lotleth Troll and Dreg Manager) performed better than Golgari did overall at the first large Standard tournament post rotation.

It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

BR is miles better than BG. Th difference between BR and Jund is only marginal and it depends on your match ups, but a crap load of two power guys for 1, followed by burn spells seems like a legitimate way to win the way. I was genuinely surprised at how effective the BR list from SCG is when I started testing it.

Black/Red is a lot faster, Black/Green has dudes that are harder to kill.
Being hard to kill isn't a huge deal.

Jund is RGB, named after the "shard" from Shards of Alara.

Jund refers to the three colours centred around red, from Alara block; black, red and green. 'Jund,' if you can afford the mana-base for it, offers the best of both black-red and black-green Zombie lists. If you must truly choose one or the other, my vote goes to black-red, because Falkenrath Aristocrat is amazing and I love it.

Edit: Gravecrawler makes it amazing because you can usually return Gravecrawler to play via other zombies, making Falkenrath Aristocrat indefinitely indestructible, more or less.
Edit2: Also, it's a sac outlet, making Blood Artist bonkers, frequently.
