The idea here is to flood the board with one drops and attack every turn. A couple creatures should be able to get through for early attacks, and the rest may be lost due to enemy blockers. However, drop Varolz, the Scar-Striped on turn three and then begin to scavenge all of those one drop creatures for two +1/+1 counters each. If i manage to get Corpsejack Menace out, then it's double the fun!

Lotleth Troll plays a key part here, as he has both trample and regenerate. I can pump him full of counters and just attack away without fear as long as I keep a swamp open to regenerate him. Using his discard ability is also incredibly useful, as I can give him a +1/+1 counter just by ditching a creature and then scavenge the creature I just discarded for another two counters. I can also use that ability to discard a Varolz, the Scar-Striped if I end up with more than one in my hand so it's not a wasted card. Lotleth Troll will typically swing for lethal after i bump him up with 8 or so counters in one turn (even more if Corpsejack Menace is out), usually on turn 5.

After round one, I will likely side in my full board and change the deck to more of a midrange to account for the opponent bringing out excessive small creature removal and to take them unawares. I have yet to actually play a game using that sideboard transformation, so that is still in the theoretical stages.

I could use suggestions on what to include in my sideboard to be able to change the strategy of the deck without compromising its effectiveness. And if there are any blatant weakspots that I may have missed in the main deck, please let me know!
