I'm looking to make a theme deck of sorts, based on the shard of Jund from Alara, commanded by Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund. The deck aims to encompass a few key elements: namely that Jund is a savage land where the ideal of survival of the fittest reigns supreme. The people of jund are shamanistic, barbaric, and fierce.
Basically, what I'm looking for are some cards (outside of alara block) that fit into the theme of this deck. I'm looking for token makers, card advantage, ramp, sacrifice outlets, removal, etc.
Well, there is Skull Rend It's a 6 for one card wise, and if you include the life it's a twelve for one. There s also Havoc Festival and if you're packing the mean monster for it, the festival can get crazy real quick.
Edit: oh, and a good instant that I've used against someone playing blightsteel is Backlash

Skull Rend seems like a great idea. Although I'd probably use Delirium instead of Backlash for the art.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
A lot of zendikar stuff looks like it would fit, as well as various Golgari cards. Thanks.
Innistrad has the entire morbid mechanic. Most of them aren't Constructed-playable, though a few are. And remember to include Moldgraf Monstrosity and some way to make it change zones instant speed (letting you get around exiling it). Creeping Renaissance is also really good.

Some examples:
Here are the cards from SoA/CFX/ARB that I am considering:

Major thanks to Traprootkami for the signature.
fresh meat
viscera seer
fecundity
shriekmaw
hellion eruption
And how could you have 'The Jund' jund deck without the jund man himself, Kresh the Bloodbraided?

Excellent suggestions. I'll probably use most of those. And I do have Kresh. He's in the 99. I prefer Karrthus as the general.
Blade of the Bloodchief is another card that fits Jund's 'death matters' theme; in fact, it had a minicycle of these cards, and they've also appeared elsewhere. Also consider Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, and Savra, Queen of the Golgari.
And look, there's also morbid for you to look over.
Diabolic Intent is obligatory.
Oh, and be sure to give a Goblin Sharpshooter deathtouch!
On phasing:
I'd planned on using all 3. They are all pretty good.

Well, Crushing Vines is better than Shatter or Plummet, but not as good as...a lot of other options.

On phasing:
Vorapede and Giant Adephage seems like they would be cool, kinda like the giant bugs from King Kong or something
Volcano Hellion and Thromok the Insatiable for some awesome big monsters as well.
