Mainboard

• Feed Lotleth Troll by discarding for +1/+1's, then feed him again via scavenge (once Varolz, the Scar-Striped is out).
• Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord is has home here because he'll be using the graveyard until I scavenge them out. He also serves as a conditional lethal sac finisher (once Lotleth Troll is pumped).
• Desecration Demon is here for three reasons... 1-He's awesome. 2-He's a flyer. 3-His 6 power for 4 on a scavenge is RIDICULOUS.
• Slitherhead is just a quick chump blocker while you're waiting on your hand and is an easy scavenge even without Varolz, the Scar-Striped in play.
• Ranger's Guile protects my investment into Lotleth Troll from unfortunate targeting spells or uncounterable spells (' Putrefy , etc). NEW ADDITION
• Deathrite Shaman is here because it is awesome.
• Scavenging Ooze really strips this deck of being budget-friendly, but I have 2x at this point in time that I've been lucky enough to pop in boosters. I plan to use this as a recovery and an opponent graveyard stripper. I plan to put one more in when I get it and I'll remove a Putrefy .
• I've also included Wasteland Viper for a kill (deathtouch/trample combo is NASTY). Special thanks to vazhar for this!

Sideboard

• Crypt Incursion is here if I am playing a REALLY fast aggro deck and just need a midrange survival burst. I don't envision using this very much, as this deck is very fast itself. It'll be the first to go if I need a different sideboard option.
• Doom Blade is awesome and cheap. Its here if I find myself needing additional removal.
• Glaring Spotlight ... I just love this card. Multipurpose hexproof prevention and protection.
• Golgari Charm is here due to Theros being such an expectedly echantment-heavy block. The regenerate all creature is really nice for a Supreme Verdict , as Mccates has pointed out - thanks!
• Pithing Needle is awesome for planeswalkers or against a Scavenging Ooze deck. Great control for some dangerous cards and a surefire way to beat an opponent with a slim wincon deck.
• Skylasher is here in hopes that I have him in hand and enough mana to cast him in response to a Far / Away . Also, he's a 2CMC for 2 scavenge, so that also works well.

Conclusion

Seemed like a good idea at the time and I own all of these cards. Had some great help building this along the way (look over the update comments).

Can this deck be a FNM contender? Can't wait to hear what you think...

Cool Tip...

Sneaky move that I just learned of... LOVE THIS! Protect your Lotleth Troll from Azorius Charm by activating your regeneration ability, then casting Abrupt Decay on your own Lotleth Troll . Lotleth Troll is no longer considered an "attacking creature" (since it's removed from combat) and the Azorius Charm doesn't return him to your hand. Brilliant!
