Main interaction is Varolz, the Scar-Striped and Death's Shadow to put a large amount of counters on a creature with Scavenge.

Zombie theme allows for Gravecrawler to pump Lotleth Troll for free and to be a potentially repeatable way to regenerate Varolz as needed.

Putrid Leech - Awesome with a Rancor. Early beater. Can lower life totals also to allow normal casting of Death's Shadow.

Lotleth Troll - Discards Death's Shadow like a champ. Has trample and regenerates. Perfect target for some counters.

Bloodghast - "Free" discard for Fauna Shaman, Lotleth Troll, and can regenerate Varolz if needed. Keeps coming back. It feels good to discard these to Lotleth Troll and get them for free when dropping a land. Would be even better if I owned any fetch lands.

Dismember - removal of choice that can lower life total if needed for Death's Shadow.

Treetop Village - man-land with trample that can carry counters if needed.

Shizo, Death's Storehouse - can give Varolz Fear if needed

Inkmoth Nexus - win out of nowhere
