Nemesis of Mortals maybe? He might fit in here as being an early 5/5 with the possibility of being a 10/10 in early turns. at least i have seen it working really well in dredge in standard.

btw, when it comes out in M15 you will want to run 4x "Life's Legacy"

I'm thinking about abusing Demigod of Revenge as a win con using Crypt of Agadeem in my version
Maybe Avatar of Woe as well. What do you think?

Quadsimotto, I've considered it and decided that Boneyard Wurm is more of what I want here.
Dreno33, tell me about it. I can't wait.
Caligula, Avatar of Woe seems amazing. I've been looking for good 187 creatures, and while that can't kill immediately, it's huge, cheap, evasive, and kills stuff, plus it's a creature.

That's what I was thinking. Plus it should be easy to get her out. If you run a playset. Then they have to deal with her and then watch everything grow.

Putrid Imp as a discard outlet? When you run out of gas in your hand, you can dredge Stinkweed Imp and then toss him back to your graveyard. This also gives Putrid flying so it's kinda nice if you equip a Nighthowler on him.

I'm wondering if maybe you want to use Grave Strength in this deck. I don't know what to take out, but a Grave Strength on a Splinterfright seems pretty powerful.

BlindJoker, that's a cute combo, but most of the time I'd rather play Stinkweed Imp onto the battlefield at that point and get him to start blocking for me. Putrid Imp is also not very useful with the rest of the deck, and a 2/2 flying that can't block for is pretty terrible here, so the body isn't what makes it. I don't think the Imp deserves a slot in the deck.
SolelyUbiquitous, that's one of the cards from FRF that I'm considering, the other being Sudden Reclamation. I feel like Grave Strength is easily compared to Nighthowler, so let's compare.
Grave Strength fills your graveyard, which is the biggest point for it. Like Nighthowler, it beefs up a creature. This allows it to work well with the trample of Splinterfright and the fling effect on Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. It also costs only two mana, which won't let you play it earlier, as you won't have creatures in the graveyard or on the battlefield. It will, however, let you use that mana for something else.
On the other hand, if you don't have a creature, you're out of luck, you can't play it as a regular creature like Nighthowler. Plus, the effect doesn't get bigger as your graveyard fills up. The biggest problem with it is that it isn't a creature, which means it's a dead card in the graveyard. Soit's worse than Nighthowler. What about Boneyard Wurm? That's a close comparison, too. I think it's worse in that instance as well. So I don't think it's a good enough fit for this deck.
On an unrelated note, what do you thin of Murderous Cut?

Murderous Cut would allow you to toss those lands and instants that make it into your graveyard, but if it is in the graveyard itself, it's just another kill spell that you can't use.

I figured one would be good (probably better than Putrefy due to its mana efficiency. Also, a single copy can be recurred with Nyx Weaver. I'll try it out and see how it goes.

I like this, +1.
It's a shame for the budget's sake that Tarmogoyf himself wouldn't be bad here...
Maybe 1 Garruk, the Veil-Cursed Flip ?
