Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord was a bounty hunter who worked extensively in the Undercity of Ravnica. His sister, Savra, Queen of the Golgari was the matka of the Devkarin Dissident, and unbeknownst to him, the servant of Szadek, Lord of Secrets, the parun of House Dimir. When her ambitions brought her to control Svogthir to upset the current guild balance, he found himself opposed to his twin. Allied with Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran and Fonn Zunich, he was instrumental in upsetting Szadek, Lord of Secrets' coup at the decamillenial Festival of the Guildpact. After his sister's death in those events, he took control of the Golgari Swarm.
He briefly married Fonn Zunich and fathered a child named Myczil Savod Zunich, however their obligations to their respective guilds and differences in belief of how their child should be raised led to their separation. When Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran died, he acted as one of the pallbearers at his friend's funeral.
He was ultimately killed by Lyzolda, the Blood Witch in a Rakdos ritual trying to rescue his child who had been kidnapped to fuel the ritual. Thanks to his intervention, Myc's life was saved, but Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord died shortly after. However, being versed in necromancy, though not as proficiently as his deceased sister, he managed to possess his own corpse. He remained the Golgari guildmaster.
In the period leading up to the War of the Spark, the Cilia, a council of Devkarin Dissident shamans and rogues, isolated Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord in a sparsely populated corner of the Undercity. Pleased with the planeswalker Vraska, Regal Gorgon's role in securing The Immortal Sun, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker rewarded her with the information where Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord was to be found. As leader of the disenfranchised among the Golgari, she vowed to bring justice to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and replace him with a worthier guild leader, herself.
With the help of the troll Jarga, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest and Xeddick, a white kraul, Vraska, Regal Gorgon found Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord in the Devkarin Golgari Rot Farms. While the Cilia elves tried to save Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, the Erstwhile Storrev, Devkarin Lich betrayed him. After Xeddick had extracted all of Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's dirty secrets from his mind, Vraska, Regal Gorgon petrified him.

This is my take on an old but classic Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord Reanimator EDH deck. I haven't made an EDH deck or any deck that deals with reanimating creatures from the graveyard yet, so this is my first crack at this..
I'm currently loving the Golgari color combination when it comes to the versatility of both black and green, that's why i stepped away from my previous Golgari EDH deck, Slimefoot, the Pun-gus, which while it's fun, I wanted to make a faster way to burnout my opponents using another Golgari commander.. And that's what lead me to the former guild leader of the Golgari Swarm, Jarad, the golgari lich lord!

The main strategy is to ramp on the first turns, then start to fill the graveyard with a bunch of creatures using dredge and self-milling mechanics, and reanimate them for cheap and smash face! After, we can use our commander to sacrifice those BIG creatures and drain each of our opponents life, when they least expect it.
Dawntreader Elk - Ramp that can be a blocker and a creature in the graveyard.
Deathcap Cultivator - Dual lands on a creature that can defend with deathtouch.
