The idea for this deck is to get some big green monsters on the field and then sac them off with Jarad. Its built around the hyrdas and the +1 counters they use. Something like the Primordial Hydra or the Kalonian Hydra with Corpsejack Menace and/or Doubling Season could escalate things quickly, but looping Devoted Druid and Quillspike could become a big sacrifice for Jarad too.

Also looping Bloodghast and Perilous Forays as much as you can afford per turn to get land into play, having Lotus Cobra on field allows all of your basic lands to be played in one turn. If Ob Nixilis, the Fallen were to be on the field as well, this would drain opponent while setting Ob up to be sacrificed by Jarad. Spoils of Blood Once Bloodghast has died and come back multiple times.

Jarad's Orders to get Filth or Brawn into the graveyard depending on the situation, or even Bloodghast, if trying to set up land.

Wall of Blood + Predator's Rapport to sac off with Jarad for a win. Enchant with Dying Wish if someone happens to have more than three times your life.

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar and Symbiotic Elf for infinite Insect Creatures.Couple with Essence Warden for infinite life, or Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest for infinite Insect Creatures with essentially infinite +1/+1.
