What are you playing? Because I have been a playing u/w version, and I this is my experience so far against Jund. In a nutshell, Cards like jace and elspeth are very good in this matchup, because of the net card/board advantage they both net you. Then, small thing like never playing stoneforge unless you can brainstorm, or unless you can slam the equipment right away is something too, so you can't have it hit by a discard spell (they will often not play their discard baring hymn early in order to get you with your pants down after playing a stoneforge). Also, jund tends to play a lot from the top of their decks, so shutting down sylvan library and Bob ASAP is very important, and even more so in their case , as literally every card in jund nets them a 2 for 1. Also, if you can play spell snare, that card is very good against them, in general, as the scariest things IMO cost two in there (bob, library, hymn and tarmogoylf to a certain extend). Also, after looking at JRichardson's list, I tried out moorland hunt, and it happened to be really good in this matchup (protect jace, trump liliana -2, smash people with jittes). Out of the sideboard, I go for a removal suite, in verdict, path, perish (the only black card in the deck), and now testing geist of saint Traft (can't be decayed, bolted, and seems to go well with the "i break your board and hit you for a lot plan").Originally Posted by preddi
Finally, if you can't control the early torrent until they end up hellbent, your chances will be VERY low (especially in game 1). letting bob live even 1 activation is usually a major disadvantage (remember, all their cards are 2 for 1s), and library is just disastrous. Also, play arround wasteland as much as possible, and sensei's top is also very good against mass discard.
Aside from that, graveyard hate should not be bad against them (I think), and lingering souls should also be very good, until they play engineered plague.
