Deck Primer / Description
Jarad is a Golgari Dream for those who want to
a.) Put creatures into the graveyard
b.) Sacrifice creatures
While this deck is designed for Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to be your commander, you can alternatively run Izoni, Thousand-Eyed for the deck synergy and a slightly different game plan. Jarad for big swings himself when the graveyard is filled or wanting to sacrifice big creatures to hit eveyone. Izoni, for when you want a swarm of bugs from a filled graveyard and a sacrifice effect to help draw more of your deck.
Look towards your spells like Veilborn Ghoul and Reassembling Skeleton to act as recurring sacrifice targets and Deadbridge Chant to fill your graveyard and return cards from your graveyard.
If you are looking for a simple line of play for the deck, here it is:
• Make sure to have 3-4 lands in hand at the start of game.
• Fill your graveyard with "self-mill" cards like Deadbridge Chant , Codex Shredder , and Grisly Salvage .
• Bring out and attack with your payoff cards like your commander , Graverobber Spider , Kessig Cagebreakers , or Rhizome Lurcher .
• And if needed, rely on cards like Kraul Foragers or Gnaw to the Bone to help regain lost life if the game goes long
A final word of advice, this is a budget deck that can be open for updates and edits, but functions, however it was built to focus on its own gameplan and has limited interaction. Be stingy with using removal spells, you are not a control deck, but an aggro style deck.
