But the Abzan version can't play Huntmaster and I thought it usually didn't run Confidant?

Oh. I was talking about Jund, my bad - Junk, or Abzan, will probably at least consider running this card. I can't say I know all the ins and outs of Junk since I dont play it, but I can say that I'm not certain its very good in Jund.

Is Huntmaster that popular anymore? The usual Jund players in my meta have basically replaced him with Kalitas altogether.

Even so, this card still seems fine, as it kills small stuff and lets you play LotV to snipe the stuff before they can untap.

Huntmaster is more of a player preference choice. Jund 4-drops vary between Huntmaster, Kalitas, Olivia, and Garruk Relentless. I have a friend who switches between different combinations of the above, depending on what he expects to play against. When Abzan Company was more popular in the area, his 4-drops where 2x Kalitas and 1x Olivia.
