Depends on exact build as well. You can have a strong aggro curve if you play 3 Viscera, some Voice, 3 Renegade Ralliers. Or you can be focused on combos with Redcap and more EWit.
A single GQ is not going to beat them. If you do that for 2-3 consecutive turns while maintaining pressure it may be good. I personally prefer Tidehollow Scullers tho.
Brian DeMars plays 3x Fulminator Mage + 2x Surgical Extraction. I never tested this but it should be decent for Tron, valakut, midrange/control (especially Ux), and Dredge.
1. Manadorks help us to get ahead on board, to face Liliana. If opp boards out Liliana, it is ok to board out manadorks so that our deck packs more value. In the dark, I would just cut around 3 manadorks (I play 9 total). Liliana is one of the few ways to break our Eternal Witness loop.
2. Redcap is good against Jund
3. Their best cards are Scavenging Ooze, Kalitas and sweepers (and of course Grafdigger's Cage). Most games depends how many of those card our opp can draw, so sideboard for them. I like playing 7 removals total (3 Paths, 3 Abrupt Decay and 1 Maelstrom Pulse).
4. As for specific sideboard cards, Anafenza, Courser of Kruphix, and Linvala are all good. They are all good against their best cards. Pharika is less so, it still loses to Scavenging Ooze.
grats on the top8! Vs jund, I have not tried Logan's plan before, but I'll do some testing tomorrow for WMCQ.
Before that, I assume it is difficult to combo off in face of Jund's infinite removals. So I would cut Melira, the weakest piece.
My plan for your sideboard is: -2 Melira -some manadorks, +some Paths/Abrupt Decays/Anguished Unmaking +Reveillark (maybe +Burrenton Forge-Tender)
I don't like Tidehollow Sculler in this matchup as it's an artifact.
Reveillark is high value, but it's still weak against the best cards Jund has for us (Scavenging Ooze, Kalitas, Anger of the Gods) so it doesnt handle our weakness. I have not been using Burrenton Forge-Tender in my sideboard since Kozilek's Return was printed, I would bring it in against Jund if I have it, but you still have to play around Damnation.
I'm using Courser of Kruphix like Logan's sideboard. I'll also test Linvala, Keeper of Silence tomorrow, if it's good against Jund I would play it this sunday.
I suggest at least 1 out for opposing Scavenging Ooze

Of course run a 2/2 split for Surgical Extraction and stuff
For budget fetchlands choices, you can work with no swamp. Just go with all green fetches.
