(Chase BTW) Glimpse of Nature is a ridiculous card for this deck. Probably worth the price tag.

Hey! I have a Jund Devour Deck as well and I have a few suggestions for you. I would run Mycoloth, he is an amazing devour card, and he keeps pumping out more tokens to devour. I would also consider doubling season if it is in the budget, if not parallel lives can be a good addition as well. Also consider running cards like fling and Soul's Fire. They are both instants that you can use if your opponent tries to unsummon your big creatures.
This looks like a great deck. I like the deathtouch soulbound. Very nice touch.
I would rethink putting in Valakut. I had them in my burn deck and just recently took them out because the game never makes it that far. If I haven't killed my opponent by the time it would trigger, it isn't likely going to save me. If I pull them early all it does is slow me down. They really belong in a RG ramp deck.
In bant exalted decks I love the idea of running lightmine field. it really lets you abuse the exalted feature. Other than that I like the meeting of the Kaldra equips and bant. Well played If you get a chance to check out my equip deck that would be great. Looking for advice on which equipments before I buy it.http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=349273
I like the plan that you have here, but a blue black mill deck just isn't complete without Glimpse the Unthinkable. It can serve as a great backup plan in conjunction with the twincasts if you can't get your combo out,. If you get a chance to check out my equip deck that would be great. Looking for advice on which equipments before I buy it.http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=349273
I like your style, just keep them at bay until you peck away with the poison counters. You might consider Inexorable tide. It allows you to proliferate every time you play a spell. Makes all of those counters do double duty for you. I know it is a little pricey in terms of mana cost, but blue decks are normally looking to extend the game anyway. and now the shameless plug for my deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=349273 I'm trying to figure out the best equipment to put in is before I buy it. Take a look if you can.
Inkmoth is great with this. If puresteel is out and your equip costs are free, you wait until your opponent doesn't have nothing that flies, activate your nexus and throw all of your equipment on it for a one hit kill.
I always like the idea of invigorate in infect decks. It is a free +4/+4 (or+7/+7 if you have wild defiance out.)
I have a few suggestions as well. I built a mill deck (b/u) so this card didn't make it in, but one thing to consider might be Telemin Perofmance. The opponent mills cards until a creature card is revealed, and then you control that creature. Can be very entertaining. Have you considered splashing black into the deck? a lot of the best mill cards are b/u such as Glimpse the Unthinkable and mind funeral. Also pick up archive trap, it is a great mill card, especially now when everyone is running sac lands and searching for land. In my mill deck I combine this with twincast and end up milling 26 for 2 mana. not a bad deal any way you look at it. You can take a look at my mill deck if it give you any ideas. Also I just built an equipments/tempered steel deck that I am looking to have people sanity check before I buy it. Take a look if you get some time: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=349273
I had vines in the deck, but I took it out for invigorate. Not that I look at it, I should have taken out the titanics. I love my dual lands for some reason, simic has been well worth it on many occasions. Breeding pool is a bit pricy for my tastes, hinterland could be a good replacement. I guess with the super low mana requirements of this deck I may not be getting the milage out of my double lands. I didn't have tezzeret's in because it has a relatively high cmc for the deck. Have you found it to be worth it? I like to keep my decks at 60 cards so what would you tale out?
I had haunting echoes in the first draft but ended up taking it out because it is simply too annoying from a practical standpoint. People didn't want to play against that deck Anymore. Do you think terramotphoc expanse is worth it? I feel like it might slow me down a little bit because there is now a turn where inwill be down a mana. Have you used it with much success?
Ya I may sideboard it. Volt charge also works with stormblood berserker stromkirk noble and Chandra :)
The only issue I have with this deck is that the early game defense is pretty limited. Your creatures are pretty pricey in terms of cmc, so that leave your burst lightning and your lightning bolts to deal with early aggression. I would much rather have my opponent take my lightning bold to the face than waste them taking out early creatures.
Volt charge is great for pumping up shrines. you get 1 counter for upkeep, and one for the red spell, and finally one for the proliferate. if you get an early shrine out they can be devastating. I considered isochron, have you found it to be too clunky?
I don't see how archon of redemption would stop me from attacking? I swing when I am unblockable so the defensive power doesn't mean much.
I like it, but I would change out Raging Goblin to Goblin Guide. Just a better one drop in my opinion. A lot of your power comes late game, I would consider some mana ramp to get your dragons out faster. Seething Song might be a decent option. Also since you are running cloudposts already, I would consider glimmer posts as well. It will give you cloudposts a lot more kick. A final note, pyromance rascension just seems too clunky to me. If you do decide to go for some mana ramp with seething song or glimmer post, I would swap the ascensions for curse of bloodletting. It costs a little bit more mana, but you don't have to depend on your draw.
This is great. I built a similar deck and added Wild Defiance. It makes this type of deck an absolute monster.
