More blockers huh? In that case, maybe consider Trestle Troll and Tukatongue Thallid. Some spells that serve as blockers/summoners would be Fists of Ironwood and Hindervines.

It looks like your main goal is to stick a creature and then buff it as much as possible with +1/+1 counters. To improve the strength and consistency of the deck, I recommend cutting anything that isn't working towards that end (unless it's very efficient.) I'd identify those cards as Druid's Deliverance, Sundering Growth, Bountiful Harvest, Bump in the Night, Lair Delve, Blood Reckoning, Tablet of the Guilds, Primal Clay, Trestle Troll, and maybe Phylactery Lich (depending on how many artifacts you end up running in the end.) I'd also suggest swapping out Intimidation to stay modern legal, possibly with something like Bellowing Tanglewurm if you really really want the evasion. Your strongest cards that I'd want additional copies of are Abrupt Decay (budget permitting), Ring of Xathrid, Undying Evil, Slitherhead, and Death's Presence (assuming your meta is slow enough to run it.) It also looks like Tormented Soul is a critical piece that benefits the most from growing big, so having redundancy for it seems like a good idea. Changeling Outcast, Gingerbrute, and Silhana Ledgewalker could all be fine targets. For +1/+1 synergy, you have scavenge staples like Varolz, the Scar-Striped, Corpsejack Menace, and Lotleth Troll along with more general options like Polukranos, Unchained, Winding Constrictor, Hardened Scales, Hydra's Growth, Rishkar, Peema Renegade, Scavenging Ooze (which is particularly good in a sideboard), Drana, Liberator of Malakir, Hunger of the Howlpack, Forced Adaptation, and Llanowar Reborn. Finally, some cards I've had success with in graveyard-focused decks include Tragic Slip, Satyr Wayfinder, Grisly Salvage, Splinterfright, and Fauna Shaman. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck with your build!

saber4734 on Death´s Presence is the key

For starters i would drop Trestle Troll and make Elvish Mystic a play set. It will help the deck run faster.

I copied and tweaked the build on my account. Ended up swapping Dismember for Hero's Downfall as your -1/-1's will deal with indestructible and give better versatility with large creatures/walkers. Tweaked the creature base, mostly removing Trestle Troll, Scavenging Ooze and Vhati il-Dal and adding Channeler Initiate and Deity of Scars. Dropped Putrefy and Tablet of the Guilds. Swapped Garruk, Apex Predator for the new 7 drop Lily (as she fits better with your -1/-1 theme) and bumped up your fixing/reducing the number of basics. In testing it was MUCH more consistent and most of the time really powerful on curve, Woodlurker Mimic was surprisingly good! Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons with either Channeler Initiate or Deity of Scars was very good (forget having multiples or having even a single Creakwood Liege on he board). I hope you playtest and find what works best for you. Let me know how you make out.

Trestle Troll seems out of place. Maybe put 2 Deity of Scars. Woodlurker Mimic is a good add but maybe run 2 or 3? Putrefy feels too slow, esp since you have a fair amt of removal plus the added wither. How about Channeler Initiate? Fits your -1/-1 theme and ramps you to your 4/5 drops. Depending on how you work that, it could shrink you by 4 cards as well.

Does Arcum's Whistle work on creatures with defender that aren't walls? Like for instance Trestle Troll?

Thanks :-)

You may want to think about taking out things like the Trestle Troll and the Korozda Gorgon for more imposing threats, like another Lotleth Troll or more scavenge fodder. I have a similar deck in which I run 3 Slitherheads and 2 Bond Beetles, just for their enter the battlefield effect, which would help with your enchantments. If you really like Golgari Germination, maybe think about adding a sac engine to take advantage of the tokens.
