I couldn't finish it. The guy broadcasting is awful at playing Jund. He would make awful actions before Reid commented like not tragic slipping or wolf running the restoration angel in the second match when Reid warned him about supreme verdict.
"So, we never really use wolfrun" right after a turn where he skips an activation on wolfrun and has a turn where azorius charm is targeted by snapcaster.

Yeah... what sucks about the format there was clearly the guy was just like "ok, I have a pro here, and I need to do something with that". If he took maybe a little initiative rather than asking for advice on every move, that might've made the stream more fun. Or perhaps instead of a timed tournament, get another friend with those decks to play against you so you don't have to worry about time. Or better yet... you probably don't even need a friend if you announce that this is Reid Duke playing Jund... you'll probably find people that want to play a few friendly matches.
Edit: And it's obvious the guy hasn't played Jund.

That would had been best. He could had virtually picked any deck in the format to play against by announcing it in chat or something.
I can tell he hasn't played Jund before, but there was also a game where he had three mana, a shock land and kessig in hand. He played the shock and paid 2 to play his huntmaster despite having the two colors already in play.
Yes, but I did love the stream (after the first game when it actually worked) with Reid Duke discussing the deck, sideboarding, and mulligan decisions. Sure, the moderator probably had no experience with Jund, but who cares? Reid is probably one of the best (along with Owen Turtenwald) at playing Jund, and I appreciated having him on.
I am brand new to Jund, but even I thought some of Scotty's moves were poor. Even Reid Duke said Jund is pretty much a control deck, and although I am new to Jund, I am not new to control. One thing I can say is that Reid was a bit more aggressive than I would have been in the same situations. I do think not -3'ing Garruk when he was at 3 life was a mistake, even though he lived through it. I mean I understand why, there is a higher chance he DOESNT have Searing Spear than him having it, but I just couldnt leave it to chance when I know there might be something I could do to stop it. All in all the point of the video was to show how Reid plays Jund, so I'm actually glad Scotty stayed out of it, for the most part at least. This video gave me boatloads of information being brand new to the deck. I basically just got a 2 hour crash course, and for that I am very glad =)

This isn't the exact link since I don't have scg premium, but Reid is talking Jund post-M14. Seems like Scavenging Ooze main with more discard, and less Doom Blade (which we have discussed).
If anyone has premium, would love to know his opinion on the two walkers.

He doesn't include them in Jund if thats what you want to know. He sticks with Garruk, primal hunter. He believes Caller of Beasts is powerful but prefers Garruk PH. I don't think he even mentions Chandra.
