So I've realized that scavenging the gods with Varolz is simply ridiculous and now I plan to abuse it, and here's how:

The idea of the deck is to throw cards in the graveyard early game with things like Commune with the Gods and Grisly Salvage, any left overs in my hand can be tossed with Lotleth Troll. Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid are there to ramp me into my 3 and 4 drops, overall putting me ahead of the game quickly. After some gods are in the graveyard and I have a Varolz, the Scar-Striped out I can scavenge onto a Lotleth Troll, Horizon Chimera (for flying and trample), or better yet scavenge onto a Fathom Mage and gain chunks of life with the Horizon Chimera. Or with Prime Speaker Zegana I can have my own makeshift Sphinx's Revelation.

Overall I know that the deck doesn't run smoothly and I'd very much appreciate some advice and criticism. Overall I really like this idea and want to make this into a casual fun deck. Thanks in advance and +1 if you like :D

Minor Considerations — Oct. 1, 2013

Edit

I'm beginning to wonder if Deathrite Shaman is a better choice in this build rather than Sylvan Caryatid. The shaman only provides mana if there is land in my grave (which is only reliably possible after a salvage or commune) but is still a fairly reliable mana producer on turn 3 like the Caryatid is, plus he is a 1/2 blocker that can ward off pesky 1/1s. Also noting that I can also use his other abilities late game to possibly drain 2 life for each instant/sorcery in my graveyard. The Caryatid also has hexproof and is free from being killed by burn spells. All things to consider. Feel free to comment and give me your opinion on the matter.
