BG big dude fling. I see a lot of Jarad builds be more directly graveyard-based, but I think he's enough of a win condition on his own that you don't need to focus that heavily on it. Jarad is an interesting intersection of various different BG builds: graveyard recursion, +1/+1 counters, land sacrifice, etc. You can easily impart elements of each strategy into the deck, and they end up with a fascinating blend of synergies.
