Every scar will build my throne

I was toying with a way to use good interaction between Lotleth Troll and Varolz, the Scar-Striped without really being aware it was 'a thing' already (having recently returned to MTG and never having played Modern).

I've thrown together a shell that I now need some help with, I am not needing to go super competitive as I am sure Lupine Prototype and Eternal Scourge aren't optimal but I've given myself a (believe it or not) shortened list of maybe's to add. I'll put my thought process briefly with them each below but would like the community's thoughts too!

Some points;

Asylum Visitor - gives cards back when you're empty and decent Power to Cost Ratio (henceforth P:C)

Avatar of Discord - good P:C and don't care if I discard really. Could do without yet another 3-drop though.

Blood Scrivener - different but the same idea as Asylum Visitor

Caustic Caterpillar - generic removal attached to a creature as a bonus

Charging Badger - a trample creature, one of the best things about Lotleth Troll in this deck

Dark Confidant - Bob is Bob, card advantage, not much with a high CMC and if I do have to resort to actually playing Death's Shadow then I don't care about the life either

Force of Savagery - excellent P:C

Geier Reach Sanitarium - helps me drum through the deck and avoid dead land drops late on

Hunted Troll - great P:C and could be the curve topper

Indrik Stomphowler - see Caustic Caterpillar but plus-size

Killing Wave - I don't necessarily need that many creatures in play and can afford to pay the life once or twice if I do need to play a Death's Shadow as a plan B

Korozda Monitor - bigger trampler

Mask of Memory - card advantage

Molten-Tail Masticore - Good P:C, another discard outlet

Mutagenic Growth - can pay the life without a worry and force through that extra damage

Night's Whisper - quite drawn to this as extra fuel and not bothered by the life loss

Noose Constrictor - discard outlet and some defence against flyers

Nyxathid - good P:C

Oona's Prowler - good P:C and emergency discard outlet if needed

Pain Seer - mini Bob

Putrid Leech - cheap discard outlet and OK for the P:C

Rite of Consumption - chuck a beefed up Lotleth Troll or something to avoid lock down

Rust Scarab - anti artifact machine with OK P:C

Scythe Tiger - good P:C, would I ever cast it?

Snuff Out - more removal and life loss for plan B

Strongarm Tactics - actually the perfect card for the deck if it remains casual as not Modern legal

Tomb of Urami - bit of a plan C?

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - worth it for any reason? Maybe if getting green flood

Vampire Lacerator - good P:C and strong aggro-ness

Viridian Zealot - see Caustic Caterpillar again
