I thought of this today and crammed it all together today after I changed it from reanimator/dredge/exile everything from my graveyard for my benefit. To, this. Game plan, it's a bit of a combo deck but not totally dependent upon, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord However he is...super important and amazing to have. Get a fattie, make him fatter, toss him, bring him back.That's my simple strategy.

1 mana drop card

Elvish Mystic Ramp up mana

2 mana

Brain Maggot Poor man's Thoughtseize also, protects my Jarad or hydras. And I can dig for him with Garruk.

Sylvan Caryatid Ramp mana of black or green which can be super helpful also hexproof and block aggro decks.

Abrupt Decay Obliterate Detention Sphere Banishing Light Brimaz, King of Oreskos Herald of Torment Boros Reckoner Pack Rat Nightveil Specter Sage of Hours ajani, call of the pride Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver and/or Domri Rade

Golgari Charm -1/-1 all creatures, sucks for you mono white/mono red/mono black aggro creatures with the intro of Gnarled Scarhide destroy target enchantment answer to the Journey into Nyx set, and regenerate all creatures I control, shove it, Supreme Verdict

3 mana

Herald of Torment I get a 3/3 flyer for 3 or I can put wings on a multi headed snake. Swing, block, whatever.

4 mana

Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord The main man, big hoss, hoss bog, the Michael Jordan of the 1995 Bulls of this deck. I can crack a few lands to get him back and crack some huge hydras for supah damage.

Polukranos, World Eater He's a 5/5 for 4 and I can make him bigger for some mana and I can pump him with Kalonian Hydra then toss him with Jarad.

Nylea, God of the Hunt Indestructible, all my huge hydras have trample I can pump them, and she's...pretty much always online.

Whip of Erebos Lifelink and I can crack my hydras for damage then bring them back with the whip and swing again.

5 mana

Arbor Colossus 6/6 Reach monstrosity for 6. 3 devotion for green and I get to block Stormbreath Dragon and I get to kill Desecration Demon for 6. Then fling 9 damage at your dome next turn for 3. Wincon...

Kalonian Hydra The second in command, the boss hog, the Scottie Pippen of the 1995 Bulls. He hits the table at 4, and as soon as I swing he turns into 8 trample and...I get to pump the rest of my creatures that have +1/+1 counters. Which hopefully means all of them.

Heroes' Bane Another 4/4 who I can pump for 4 mana then once again slap him into a catapult and tell Jarad to cut the rope.

Mistcutter Hydra I put him the in the 5 spot 'cause I never plan to cast him for less than 4 counters. Haste, pro blue, awesome.

6 mana

Garruk, Caller of Beasts Once I drop him I have priority to dig for 5 cards and put all creatures into my hand. And if I dig 5 lands I can toss them to the bottom, I don't care I already have 6 mana I'll just do it again next turn then get the creatures. Also, free Polycrackers. I mainly plan to use him to dig.

Sideboard suggestions would be....just great...
