Based off of Varolz and the Death Feeders by jermtube with my own personal tweaks. All credit goes to him/her.

Use Splinterfright, Forbidden Alchemy, Grisly Salvage and Jarad's Orders to fill up the grave to fuel Varolz and Deathrite Shaman, while also making Splinterfright and Jarad stronger. Lotleth Troll also helps fill up the grave with creatures.

The best scavenge targets for Varolz are Skaab ruinator, Splinterfright and Dreg Mangler, i.e. high power creatures for relatively low cost. You can use this to power up things like Lotleth Troll, Diregraf Captain and Gravecrawler, which can then be sacr0ificed by Jarad for extra damage. The interplay between Diregraf Captain, Lotleth Troll, Dreg Mangler, Jarad and Gravecrawler helps keep the deck alive if you're struggling to get the mill engine going.

I also really enjoy the interplay between Jarad and Deathrite Shaman. Without the Shaman, sacrificing lands to bring back Jarad would not be a feasible option.
