Dominating the format....that's what it was doing.

Jund was about as rediculous as caw blade as far as meta domination and the mind sculptor of the deck was bloodbraid. Cascade is a fairly broken mechanic in and of itself, but put it on a 3/2 haste in a deck that runs 3 and lower CMC power house spells like {dark confidant}, {lightning bolt}, {inquisition of kozilek}, and {liliana of the viel} and something has to be done to stop it. They had their day in the sun and with {blind obediance} effectively shutting down a majority of combo decks it's time to redefine the modern meta.

Jund was too popular. Wizards doesn't like one super dominant deck so they went out to change that.

I'll be glad to see him use a new deck!  Tired of watching Jund play.
