Here's my Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund list. Lots of fun to play. It likes to ramp up to Karrthus by turn 4 or 5 and beat face, while dumping dragons in the yard for a well placed Patriarch's Bidding or Living Death. I suppose I should add Twilight's Call... hmmm. Suggestions would be great.

dragon tyrant is not in here because i want to be able to realistically hard cast my creatures and keep them in play. RRRR during my upkeep is much too steep a cost for me.

If you assume Karrthus in play, he's a hasty massive amount of damage.
I'm pretty into the idea of this leading towards dragon swarming via karrthus + mass reanimation. Maybe Pandemonium if you're not already using it?

"I think EDH would be more fun for the majority of participants if players just showed eachother their decks rather than actually playing games out."

yeah a lot of times i win by just beating face with karrthus. if i get survival out and no one stops me, i dump dragons in the yard and reanimate them, which is why i'm thinking of adding twilight's call. another way to reanimate would be nice.
but it also wins other ways. i've won games with bogardan hellkite, sneak attack, and erratic portal all in cahoots together.
as for pandemonium, it seems pretty solid to me, i'll see if i can grab one in a trade tonight.
gotta figure out two cuts.

Ok, so this deck has been on the backburner, as I have been fiddling around with so many other decks lately. Anyways, I dusted it off this weekend, and ended up making some changes. One of the major changes, which came with the realization that almost all of my dudes are either 6/6 or 5/5, was adding Wild Pair. The card is going to be a house in the deck, I think, but have yet to actually get to play it. I also added Aggravated Assault for plain bad-assery and as another way to win with Bear Umbra (people like to exile Hellkite Charger).

Chandra Ablaze is a lot of fun, discard a red dragon, burn an enemy.
you really really really should be running Anger. Because if i was playing against this deck i'de be spamming karthus w/ removal. I wouldn't bank on one creature to give all my dargons haste, especially an expensive one. Anger can be hit real fast with Buried Alive etc. The only way to deal with anger is get rid of mountains or graveyard hate.
Also i like loot effects for this kind of deck. Jalum Tome is good since most loots are blue. Draw lots of Dargons and discard lots of dargons.
Which means, IMO i would run more dargons.
Also if you are building a deck dependent on reanimating from the graveyard, i would run Elixir of Immortality. Here's why; Bojouka Bog etc. effects are REALLY annoying. If i can't counter the spell, which is not easy in Black/Red/Green, i would rather reshuffle the yard, than lose it to RFG

I previously ran Chandra Ablaze in here, but she never shined for me.
As for Anger, I only have one which is in another deck. He is on my to-get list, though.
Elixir of Immortality is another good suggestion. I thought I was running Feldon's Cane, but apparently I took it out at some point.
Regarding needing more dragons, Hoard-Smelter Dragon is also on my to-get list. Love that guy.
Any other dragons you would suggest? I've probably run them in here already, but just interested in the feedback.

He only needs to hit a player 3 times without any buff. With Crucible of Fire that goes down to twice. With any sort of team firebreathing like Bladewing the Risen or some kind of equipment it could go down to once. I have him in my reanimator deck and i want to see him get more experience. I like dragons that can do a little bit of board clearing too, Thunder Dragon, Ancient Hellkite, Steel Hellkite. Since ure in jund, Darigaaz the Igniter is also a good choice.

Don't have Fauna Shaman. Dunno that I'd run it anyways, since Survival doesn't make the deck, and as such I don't need a ☺☺☺☺tier version, really.
I didn't like Ancient Hellkite when I played him, I felt his ability is a little weak.
I added Skithyrix a while ago, I need to update this list, but kind of waiting until Besieged comes out.

Twilight's Call is good, Balthor the Defiled is another mass reanimate for this deck. I run both of those + Patriarch's Bidding in my Bladewing, the Risen deck.

This card just shines. It really should go in here.
I'm intrigued by Skitters, the Poo Dragon.
He only needs to hit a player 3 times without any buff. With Crucible of Fire that goes down to twice. With any sort of team firebreathing like Bladewing the Risen or some kind of equipment it could go down to once. I have him in my reanimator deck and i want to see him get more experience.
