Currently in the works, but the idea is to use Dying Wish to enchant Worldspine Wurm and use it in conjunction with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's ability to sacrifice creatures. It's a really heavy-hitting combo to not only make all opponents lose 30 life, but to also get 15 life and three 5/5 trampling wurm tokens is pretty awesome! If Worldspine isn't available, Vastwood Hydra can make a decent substitute, or Gyre Sage if she's buff enough

Mana comes from the Gyre Sages and all of the ways to put +1/+1 tokens on creatures. Burst of Strength helps out by not only untapping the Gyre Sage, but also buffing it and giving it more mana.

Due to the deck relying heavily on being able to generate +1/+1 counters, Corpsejack Menace and Vastwood Hydra were put in to speed up the process. And if I can't use the Dying Wish/buff guy/Jarad sac-combo, I can always beat the crud outta someone the old-fashioned way with beefy guys. .

The deck is still in the works (and works within a affordable budget), and I haven't built a deck in about almost a year, so suggestions are welcome.
