What's your plan? How are you trying to win?

Necropotence is another good draw card.

I think with 33 land you're going to struggle to reach your high drops, especially planeswalkers. Add Skyshroud Claim , Oracle of Mul Daya , maybe Birds of Paradise , and maybe Wood Elves , because they put forests into play.

I'm not sure how to abuse Jarad. His ability costs quite a bit of mana so using something like Nim Deathmantle after it is hard.

Hell's Caretaker can be good to abuse ETB effects but he is slow.

Entomb and Buried Alive are good ways of throwing what you want in the graveyard, ready to be reanimated later.

It That Betrays is a fun creature to try and cheat out by throwing it into the gravetard and then reanimating it.

Fair enough. Stick to Phyrexian Arena then.

Fauna Shaman and Survival of the Fittest are really good. Birthing Pod isn't bad. Especially if you do want to sacrifice something.

I think in a two coloured deck you really dont need Golgari Signet . It's not exactly acceleration. I would rather swap that for something like Skyshroud Claim that just puts more forests into play.

I'm not sure. It's a bit of a dead draw in the early game but good later one.

Sewer Nemesis , Mortivore , Nighthowler , Bonehoard , and Svogthos, the Restless Tomb are/make/become big creatures for Jarad to sacrifice to take chunks out of your opponents' life totals.

Filth in the graveyard makes your creature unblockable with an active Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth . Fodder for Fauna Shaman , Survival of the Fittest , and Victimize . Can be put directly in the 'yard with Jarad's Orders .

Birthing Pod is an amazing creature tutor engine. Nothing beats using it to sacrifice Mindslicer for a fat Lord of Extinction , then sacrificing it with Jarad to shoot everyone for over 60 life. True story.

Gaze of Granite is a great B/G sweeper.

The issue is that you don't want to put cards in your EDH deck that do nothing but function as big beaters. The reason is just the fact that everyone carries far more board clear and removal and so a big creature is unlikely to do much at all. Having said that, if the creature has the potential to one hit KO everybody, like Lord of Extinction then it can be a good addition, if you feel that you can pull off the win without it being too susceptible to instant removal.

Awesome deck, the two cards that I would highly recommend are Yawgmoth's Will and Crucible of Worlds . Yawgmoth's Will is sooo good in this kind of deck.

I'd appreciate it if you checked mine out as well: Jarad's Filthy Dregs.

crucible doesnt benefet this deck at all will ive been debating for a while lol

Yeah I guess at a closer look the only card that would put a land card into your graveyard would be Harrow . In my deck I have a lot of stuff that puts cards into my graveyard, so that's why I run it. Plus, the combo of Crucible of Worlds + Strip Mine is pretty nasty...throw Oracle of Mul Daya in there for even more fun.

I would highly recommend Yawgmoth's Will . It's won me so many games, or even just saved my bacon (i.e. casting Damnation or Living Death again).
