Updated list —Sept. 11, 2016
I've come back to this list to update it with some of the changes I've made over the last year or so. I've changed the mana base up a bit, going up to full playsets of the Fast lands. I've cut peer through depths, mystical teachings and the Conjourer's bauble for 1x Lab maniac and 3x Spoils from the vault. The sideboard has changed drastically, having been almost completely overhauled.
I've actually never played against anyone who uses Slaughter Games side, but I can see it being a problem. I guess I'm just trying to kill them before they are able to play slaughter games.

That wouldn't be too hard as most Jund decks that play it only use 1, rarely 2.
Does Ad Nauseam have another win besides Lightning Storm, or is that the only one that works in the combo?
Oh, and thanks for helping me learn about this deck.

Well, there is 3 cards you can use for the combo. Lightning Storm, Seismic Assault and Conflagrate. The reason you use Lightning Storm is that it keeps the combo instant speed, and doesnt require your win con to be in the graveyard when used. The reason this deck is so good is the fact that you can go off at instant speed and win out of no where, at the end of your opponents turn.

Ah, that makes sense. Even if they have disruption you can play around it. Would it be reasonable to play Lightning Storm as the main win and have another one of the too in the deck as back-up, or is that too challenging to pull off/makes it too inconsistent?

There isnt really any reason to dilute the deck like that for a worse win-con than the Lightning Storm, as you'd have to take something else out and almost every card in this deck is essential. You're fine with just the one Lightning Storm, but if you really want to have 2 win cons in the deck, use 2 lightning Storm and take out one of the digger cards.

OK, that makes sense.
Thanks again for all the help understanding how the deck functions and some of the key pieces of it!

It's a solid deck, +1
Curious, does the deck just fold to Slaughter Games? Some Jund lists play 1-2 copies in the side, and I wonder if that would just defeat the deck.
