How to Play

Get creatures in the graveyard to buff up Jarad. Use regeneration creatures with Death's Presence to bust out the 1/1 counters. Use Jarad's Orders to get cards you need in situations: Dying Wish to gain life, Deadbridge Chant and Corpsejack to make it fun, Crowned Ceratok for beast trample smash, Putrefy and Golgari Charm to get rid of annoying enchantments, creatures, artifacts.

A Scavenging Ooze could work in there somewhere if you can make room

Primeval Bounty is nice and would give you sac-able creature token - but it's expensive at 6 mana and you're already running quite high mana cost without a ramp. Green has some great mana ramp, shouldn't be too hard to find - I believe they're mostly elves.

My favourite mana ramp card in green has to be "Into the Wilds" though it does sit at 4 mana.

There's a distinct lack of flyers or creatures with reach. I believe it's just the Trestle Troll and there's only 2 of them. The Deadly Recluse is a brilliant flyer deterrent.

Or if you've got the mana the Silklash Spider

Also, Primordial Hydra would work very well with your Corpsejack Menace

I added some needed mana ramp with Elvish Mystic and Gyre Sage. And some more reachers. Some gain life to the sideboard

I feel like I am trying to do two different things at the same time. I either need to focus on scavenge and 1/1 counters with Varolz, Dreg, and slitherhead. Or focus on keeping creatures in the graveyard to buff up Jarad with a lot of regeneration to proc Death's Presence. But then i could switch cards in and out and have two fun decks!
