Flying
At the beginning of each combat, any opponent may sacrifice a creature. If a player does, tap Desecration Demon and put a +1/+1 counter on it.

Death comes for us all
You're welcome. I like to build decks :-)
If you make the changes I suggested, I would also recommend you put Sorin in the sideboard replacing Desecration Demon and adding a Duress . Discard will make this deck happen. I would even play test with discard main board... Removal targets permanents. Discard gets everything (pending the card text of course)... Think about it ;-)
Oh, and DO post results!!! Like details about each match and stuff, so as we may get a grasp of your meta. If you didn't already know, you're allowed to take notes during matches... Shorthand works best.
Varolz's Scars and Skaabs
@jermtube I see your point on Jarad's Orders
, as for the Splinterfright
guys, esspecially Splinterfright himself, they would be what you scavenge onto, so that as you dump your deck they get bigger, and once Varolz is on the board, they get a bigger boost from counters making their power/toughness stabilized to an extent, as they can still grow, if you see what I mean.
As for the scavenge bombs I know what you mean if you were in red or had colour fixing I'd suggest Vexing Devil
as he is probably the best value for scavenge in standard, plus turn 1 him, they take 4 to the face. In black though Desecration Demon
is a solid pick, as he's nasty on or off the board.
B/W Zombies. First place FNM!
On second thought the enemy triggering sac for Blood Artist every turn while pumping Desecration Demon is probably vastly better for a late game threat.

What do you think about Harvester of Souls in place of Desecration Demon , I've been playing a deck similar and wondered how good the synergy with the sac playstyle would be.
One Mean Golgari Aggro Deck
justavictim82 I haven't decided what I'm going to do with Desecration Demon yet, simply because I've yet to play with it and see how it fares comparatively to the rest of the deck as a whole. However, you are correct that there isn't a whole lot of card draw in this deck. It does however, have the ability to tutor and grab what I need. And I agree with you about the Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord . It is really my strongest asset for when I begin to stall out. It has great synergy with the rest of my cards, and the ability to sacrifice a swamp and a forest to add it back to my hand is phenomenal. Not to mention, Jarad's second ability allows for me possibly deal enough damage to an opponent to win the game if it goes into a late game.
Now KingPimp you're right about how easy it is for me to get a Jarad. I can send him to the graveyard and grab him through his last ability if need be. Jarad is quite resilient in the sense that he does keep coming back. However, I'm not entirely sure how many Jarad's I will be running in this deck. I might only run 1 and 1 Desecration Demon , or maybe play 2 and sideboard 2 for bigger control games. Especially since the new Legendary rule that is being put into place, have more than one is also rather useful. I've not decided on what to do with them, that will mostly depend on how well the demon works in here. Finally, I know that the Diregraf Ghoul is a MUCH better one drop than Slitherhead , but it is the consistency that the slitherheads provide for this deck that works much better. Because I can't always scavenge the diregraf ghoul, I can only do it if I control a Varolz, the Scar-Striped . Also, being a hybrid color allows me to play him with any land in my deck on the off chance that I do drop the slitherhead. Slitherhead is mostly just as a card to discard for Lotleth Troll , and then scavenge him instantly to get lotleth up ASAP. However, Slitherhead is not an amazing card, and although he synergizes well with a lot of my cards, I will be dropping 1 for at a Dreg Mangler or Lotleth Troll , and eventually getting rid of the Treasured Find s, one for each of the previously stated.
Rakuno, Rakdos, Raktres
Interesting deck name. For being a fan of legendary birds I don't see any in the deck :-P.
Have you considered Hellrider and/or Lightning Mauler .
You can have the Lightning Mauler out, ready, and waiting for when you put in Rakdos, Lord of Riots or Desecration Demon and Hellrider is just a nice aggressive 4 drop.
2HG Rakdos Control
What about:
-8 Rats
+2 Guttersnipe +1 Desecration Demon +1 Sire Of Insanity
You can also consider Mutilate against aggro
