CHICAGOLGARI BULLS BAYBEEEEEEE

Commander / EDH

ReckonerCeleste


Aggressively mill yourself and punch as hard as you can - Jarad is really an engine that just gives a bunch of ways to win, commander damage is viable, sac'ing big creatures is viable, Lotleth Troll is viable, it's really just pretty stronk

Commander Damage: getting to 21 in as little as 2 swings is pretty realistic for Jarad (19 creatures in your graveyard 1 shots) but he lacks any evasion to get through by himself. Enter: Korozda Guildmage Stonehoof Chieftain Whispersilk Cloak Eldrazi Monument and Key to the City . All of these provide various ways for Jarad to get through, and Chieftain/Cloak/Monument make him harder to get off of the table as well.

Big Creatures: There's the obvious Worldspine Wurm and Sheoldred, Whispering One that serve as pretty big wincons by themselves... but I tried to incorporate some creatures that have a higher than average power for their cmc/can be cheated in for cheaper than their cmc to synergize with Jarad's first activated ability. Namely: Avatar of Might, Ghoultree, Nemesis of Mortals, and Primeval Protector. Two other notable creatures to sac are Abyssal Persecutor and Phytotitan; Peresecutor is 6 power for 4 cmc, and its "you can't win" clause is almost never a problem as he is easily rid of in this deck and normally will follow the pattern of swing>sac for 12 damage. Phytotitan is just a beast in the deck. Holding it as a blocker and having "1BG: Each opponent loses 7 life" every turn is pretty good.

Engines: How am I aggressively milling myself you may ask? Lemme just put some card names here for you: Nyx Weaver, Splinterfright , Mindwrack Demon , Satyr Wayfinder, Deadbridge Chant, Rot Farm Skeleton, and a plethora of discard/sacrifice effects keep your graveyard nice and full. Nyx Weaver is nice because it's also a retrieval card with an engine the same horsepower as Splinterfright's, and Deadbridge Chant flipping 10 on enter is nearly worth the 6 mana just by itself.

Feel free to recommend any fun cards I may have missed! Probably going to eventually add the Pharika/Strength of the Fallen combo for nostalgia reasons
