I'm super convinced that boros reckoner is going to be a thing so I'm looking toward none damaging removal. Is ult. Price really that good in a word full of multi colored creatures? What about victim of night as zombies is all but dead and there are only a small hand full of good creatures it can't hit and of those your other removal can take care of it. Just some thoughts.

Ultimate Price in Jund did me in when I was going for the win a Thundermaw.

Although it's not exacly the same I suppose running  Price and Victim in the same build main and side would work because back in the scars of mirrodin standard people playing black did the same thing with Doom Blade and Go for the Throat. You main boarded whichever would be best for the meta and sbed for the problomatic cards that might show up from time to time.

Looks like solid Jund.  The deck concept is pretty easy, get ahead/stay alive through the first few turns, then get paid by playing ridiculous value creatures until you're stable enough to switch the momentum.  Careful of when you drop Olivia since she differs from your value guys.  She really takes over games, but think of her ideally as a 6 drop so you can at least ping something to steal when you untap or whatever.

As far as the actual list, you want the fourth Thragtusk for absolute sure.  They really help cover your ass after getting beat up in the first few turns by aggro, plus they're superb durability against control's sweepers and such.

Definitely don't really like Vraska.  I think you'd do a lot better with more Abrupt Decay and stick with big Garruk.  Dude's beasts are hard to deal with offensively or defensively, and refilling your hand off a Thragtusk or whatever is nuts.

You probably don't need that many shocklands, also.  You could comfortably add a slightly higher ratio of M10 duals so you don't take so much damage from shocks.  Probly something like -2 Stomping Ground, +2 Rootbound Crag since you're not on the Arbor Elf plan or anything.

I'd cut the Underworld Connections from the main for the fourth Swagtusk.  Connections is really not good against aggro decks, but it's a good sideboard card to help keep your hand gassed against control.

Board, I'd probably go something like:

2 Ground Seal
2 Deathrite Shaman
3 Slaughter Games
1 Rakdos's Return
2 Duress
1 Staff of Nin
2 Underworld Connections
2 Acidic Slime

Probably what I'd want to play right now, but definitely room for what you feel works.

The list works like a well oiled machine for y meta. Every card served a purpose and performed as ecpected. I took down a Standard Win a Box. !st place with the list above. 

How do you guys feel about Desecration Demon as a sideboard card against Bant Hexproof, American Flash, and Control?
