Jund burn-Is this viable??

So I'm looking to change up the burn deck. Jund seems just as good as Naya.

Land: Our Blackcleave Cliffs and Copperline Gorge give us the opportunity to color-fix without hurting us. We can still fetch our shocks but if we have the fast lands out then we fetch for basics and it means less pain, which lets us live a little longer vs. the mirror.

Burn: The burn package is the same as I run in Naya burn except for Bump in the Night. I like bump for one reason: it's cheap and that means that I get to play more spells at one time and hopefully get more triggers for Monastery Swiftspear.

Sideboard: This is where the most changes show up. Most burn decks run Path to Exile, Kor Firewalker, and Deflecting Palm. Here, I run Abrupt Decay, Dragon's Claw, and Rakdos Charm. Most of the advantage in the burn mirror here comes from surprise. In game two, the burn player will bring in 3xPath to Exile and 3xKor Firewalker. Those Paths don't help them against my Dragon's Claw so they'll have 3 bum cards in their deck. They can still path my creatures, but that's no worse than having them burned away. Plus, I get a land out of it. My Abrupt Decay for their firewalker may cost two mana, but in game 3 when they bring in Destructive Revelry instead of Path to Exile, their answer will cost two mana as well.

TL;DR

I know I have my lifegainDragon's Claw and I have my answer to theirsAbrupt Decay. They won't have an answer to my lifegainDragon's Claw because Path is almost a dead draw. [[Deflecting Palm will be missed against infect, hexproof, and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn but Rakdos Charm is awesome against Twin, any graveyard deck, and is more artifact hate if my Destructive Revelry isn't enough. Kolaghan's Command also does serious work by letting me get a bro back, do damage, and a few others.

Destructive Revelry is an obvious choice. Ensnaring Bridge is for grindy matches where I end up in topdeck mode, like junk. Swing in now Siege Rhino ;)

I am also considering Vampiric Link for some lifegain in the sideboard. If I attach it to Eidolon of the Great Revel, that's a lot of life.
