With some use of the trigger stack, Phyrexian Devourer is an insta-win. Other cards I suggest are: Liliana Vess and Hermit Druid .

I imagine that you can just continually response to the triggers to make Phyrexian Devourer huge, but can you still sac him to Jarad before he dies?

@Xtrampleman I agree with Jarad's Orders I had it originally in the build but for the life of me I have no idea why it was taken out...
@Alizer313 Thanks, I already was aware of the inf. combo but thank you. I havnt tracked a copy of it down yet to possibly work in. but I do agree with Liliana Vess and Hermit Druid

I see a lot of good things going here, but I think your deck still has a lot of potential to be more. So Imma suggest you get your hands on Bloodgift Demon , Harvester of Souls , and Soul of the Harvest .These are all really good cards to have while you are trying to dredge (Which is a critical component to any good Jarad deck).
Bonehoard is a good secondary Mortivore to have
and while it is rather sadistic, you could put in Phyrexian Processor . So you can either pump out big critters to fight or sacrifice to Jarad

@graveyardwaltz- I've been trying to get ahold of a Bloodgift Demon for awhile now. great suggestion. I had Bonehoard in the deck but I have no idea why I took it out... Just curious but do you have any suggestions for things to take out?

I would either replace Golgari Germination with Necrogenesis so you can also exile your opponents creatures, or remove that. Vulturous Zombie, Varolz, the Scar-Stipped, and Skulbriar just seem kind of out of place if you ask me. But that's more because I have an actual Skullbriar EDH as well that revolves more around the scavenge mechanic, while Jarad's deck revolves more around the dredge mechanic. Feel free to take a look to see if there's anything else that you might add to your deck He went to Jarad

I'm liking the deck, chap. It's reminiscent of mine, although much, much more decked out! That's a thumbs up from me.
Savra, Queen of the Golgari might make for an interesting addition. With the amount of sacrificing going on, she's effectively another Grave Pact . Wound Reflection and Exquisite Blood corrolate well with Jarad, I think. You might have a think about those two. Killing Wave is another favourite of mine, which, again, might be of interest to you. With things like Grave Betrayal and the two aforementioned, it's a brutal card for those tough spots. Guarantees a smile, at least. Bonehoard is a nasty piece of work, also, and quite cheap for what it is. Lastly I'd think a Mossbridge Troll would serve you well. Jarad often enough pays for him, and afterwards reaps the benefit of such a juicy power-up.
I've been pondering this, do you get much use out of Korozda Guildmage ? She drifts in-and-out of my Maybelist.

why is Glissa, the Traitor in there when you only run two artifacts, both of which are mana rocks?

@canterlotguardian -- Mainly shes in there because shes a 3/3 for 3 and she has doomstrike, which is worth it in itself imo. there were more artifacts in the original build but i phased a few out. considering bringing back Bonehoard tho

Bonehoard would be good for this type of deck, unless someone does a mass-reanimate spell like Twilight's Call

As I wrote before the overhaul, yours is quite the wicked deck! I'd be keen to see this in action, as it looks very much to be hell bent on sacrificing everything... Everything! Which leads me to wonder if you wouldn't find Savra, Queen of the Golgari a better fit as commander. However blasphemous be the thought (I 'heart' Jarad as much as the next acolyte), his power seems wholly diminished when the creature base under him is sacrificing itself left and centre.
If you were to consider Savra, think about Shambling Shell in addition and how the two interact, and how the Shell might serve as that expendable sacrifisal lamb for your other spells that demand a supporting player dies. It's just a thought. That said, I'm still fond of your deck. Thumbs up from me.

@Kaleanath yeah sorry I forgot to reply to your message but Savra, Queen of the Golgari is a definite going in once I can actually get my hands on one. I'm just looking to trade more so than go on ebay and buy it since it is kinda cheap. idk we'll see how desperate I get haha. and Shambling Shell might make itself back in once I work on the whole scheme of things today. finally vacation and I have some actual time to do some work haha. thanks for the support man.

Why not run Rings of Brighthearth ? It seems like it would work really well with Jarad, Skirsdag High Priest , and your planeswalkers, amongst other things.

I would suggest putting Nighthowler . He's a creature that definitely fits the feel of your deck.

I would suggest Jarad's Orders , its nice to get any creature you might need to your hand say Lord of Extinction and then a Golgari Grave-Troll to your graveyard to dredge
