A french build for Varolz. The deck has two major plans.

1. Play varolz and scavenge cards like Death's Shadow onto him and just attack.

2. Reanimate a big fatty like griselbrand, avenger of zendikar or woodfall primus.

The advantage of running these plans is that your graveyard tutors / discard outlets help both strategies getting the guys you want in the graveyard.

Also you get to play life from the loam and sylvan library, both cards that are very difficult for the control decks to play.

I have yet to play against some of the more aggressive strategies but when I do I will probably make some changes.

Please leave a comment! Thanks.
