You really, really cannot budgetize Jund. The reason it's such a good deck is because it's absolutely stacked with powerful cards. If you stop playing the powerful cards, the deck becomes absolutely terrible.
Also, Jund isn't that strong. It only had a 40% win rate at the PT, despite being 30% of the field. It's just extremely consistent and allows for more skilled players to do significantly better than average with it.
I would highly recommend you just try to build a cheaper archetype instead of trying to budgetize an existing deck.

PROTIP: don't take deck advice from people who tell you to side in brindle boar vs valakut.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.
How Kedi tests his decks: Spoiler:

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out

Agreed. Cutting Gyof, Confy and others completely change the deck. If you REALLY aren't going to give up on trying to force this to work then I would at least add some crack lands, deathrite shamans, and lingering souls.
Oh, and Jund has been consistantly good it seems. At the GP this weekend spirit jund took 1st and 2nd. Player of the year won with jund as well. There's a lot out there to explore and the meta significantly effects what's good in modern, but jund is definitely something which can't be ignored.

Unfortunately, VCLs do not currently have the tools necessary to take moderation actions directly. VCLs submit their actions to ORCs, who then actually perform the action. This processing can take between a few minutes and several hours, depending on how busy/attentive the ORCs are. If you see something that needs VCL attention, please use this thread (MTGO) or this thread (paper) to make a request and a VCL will look at it as soon as possible. CoC violations should be reported to Customer Service using the "report post" button.
