Any suggestions are welcome. This deck focuses around the Almighty Lotleth Troll. I used to think a Psychatog deck would be fun to build, however once I saw Lotleth Troll, I new I could build an awesome modern deck around him. In this deck, your graveyard is your hand. It takes advantage of madness by casting spells for much cheaper than its normal casting cost. Liliana of the Veil and Lotleth Troll are the most important functions in this deck.

Awesome synergies / combos:

Gravecrawler/Lotleth Troll synergy: play Lotleth Troll, discard Gravecrawler, recast Gravecrawler for free +1/+1 counter.

madness/Lotleth Troll synergy: discard any of the madness spells for a free +1/+1 counter and cast cheaper spells.

Vengevine/Lotleth Troll Combo: On turn 3 - Discard Vengevine first (+1/+1), you may discard Gravecrawler for a free counter, cast at least 2 spells, (any madness spells or cheap spells you could cast on turn 3). return Vengevine from graveyard to battlefield, swing for 7+ damage on turn 3. Note: Unearth and Bloodghast does not cast spells for Vengevine, however Gravecrawler does.

Lotleth Troll/Vengeful Pharaoh combo: whenever a creature attacks you, discard Vengeful Pharoh at instant speed, destroy the creature for free removal and +1/+1 counter. (due to its 5 mana weakness, you may use fetch lands to shuffle deck or keep it in hand to re-discard.)

Bloodghast/Lotleth Troll combo: discard Bloodghast, play land (preferably on turn 3), play blood ghast for free and a free +1/+1 counter. (returning it to the battlefield does not cast it, so it is ineffective with Vengevine.)

Disciple of Bolas/Lotleth Troll combo: discard your hand except for Disciple of Bolas, cast Disciple of Bolas - gain X life and draw X cards = free +1/+1 counters, life, MORE CARDS TO DISCARD, and synergies in graveyard.

Late game combos:

Haakon, Stromgald Scourge/Lotleth Troll/Nameless Inversion combo: Discard Haakon, Stromgald Scourge, recast it from graveyard. Use Haakon, Stromgald Scourge's ability to cast Nameless Inversion from your graveyard.

Other spells:

Lightning Greaves: protects Lotleth Troll

Call to the Netherworld: overall great card. you may use it to re-use your other Lotleth Trolls.

Scavenging Ooze: the other half of Lotleth Troll.

Infernal Tutor : tutors duplicate Vengevine, or if no cards, can tutor Vengeful Pharaoh for late game

Fauna Shaman: tutors Lotleth Troll.
