This is my variant of the competitive Jarad list from Razzliox, who maintains an excellent primer on MTGSalvation.

The primary strategy is to fling giant things using Jarad, or swing in with big creatures, supported by lots of reanimation effects. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskellion, Necrotic Ooze, and Phyrexian Devourer in several combinations provide clear win conditions to kill the table.

Other cards serve to fill graveyards. Razzliox keeps his basic land count very low so that Hermit Druid can provide significant and fast self-mill. This gives us lots of reanimation targets, and makes Lord of Extinction gigantic. Survival of the Fittest lets us pitch creatures to the yard basically at-will, and miraculously tutors up another creature at the same time. Greater Good lets us sacrifice and discard while giving us draw power.

We use mana dorks for most of our ramp. They're fast, they can be reanimated, and they can be sacrificed for value when no longer needed.

The last few cards should be arriving in a few days, so I hope to do a first test of the deck in the next week or so.
