The title pretty much says it all. This deck is completely built around turning Lotleth Troll into an unstoppable monster as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Everything else in the deck is either there to make the Troll stronger, or for situational uses to attempt to make the deck as well-rounded as possible. Combining the Troll's regeneration ability with hexproof from Ranger's Guile makes him incredibly resilient. The removal suite in Golgari right now is awesome, and helps the deck control the opponent's board.

Cards like Slitherhead and Dreg Mangler are just begging to be Troll food. Pack Rat serves as a secondary discard outlet in case I don't get my Troll, and Scavenging Ooze and Deathrite Shaman give me other ways to abuse cards after I've discarded them, while Boon Satyr is a very versatile card that can serve many purposes, including feeding the Troll.

Warriors' Lesson and Grisly Salvage provide much needed card draw.

Thoughtseize is Thoughtseize. Pretty basic there.

I'm using this as my somewhat budget friendly (but still competitive) deck as I look to unload some of my more expensive RTR staples. It is definitely meant to win games (and hopefully tournaments), so any and all feedback is appreciated!

And please don't forget to +1 if you like it!
