Any ideas for a deck around Nemesis of Mortals?

I use him in my U/G green deck U/G Deck but that deck is kind of bad as a whole and tries to do too many things IMO. However, one of the cards that has been fairly useful to me is Nemesis of Mortals, and i'd like to maybe create a deck focused around him. I'd appreciate any ideas to this!

I've found that Nemesis of Mortals works really well in a G/B deck that fills up its own graveyard quick.
I played something a little while ago that used Satyr Wayfinder , Grisly Salvage and Lotleth Troll to fill up the graveyard, then get out Nemesis of Mortals and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord very quickly. It also used Nighthowler and Herald of Torment to be able to push damage through.
Strength of the Fallen could also work very nicely, though it means you need to play a few more enchantments / enchantment creatures to be able to trigger it over and over.

Reaper of the Wilds is a good card to block and scry with. Not a bad beater either.
I think the deck should be:
4 Elvish Mystic4 Slyvan Caratid4 Lotleth troll4 Nemesis of Mortals4 Satyr way-finder
Then add your choice of Grisly Salvage, commune with the gods,and Master of the feast for big beats early.And Immortal Servitude to get back all your 2-drops.

So he fits moderately well into dredge decks, and someone listed the standard deck most people are playing with it, it essentially focuses on under costed fatties. I personally dislike that version and play a more enchantment focused Strength from the Fallen deck. If you care to see an that option and possibly get ideas it's below:

I've been playing the dredge deck with a splash of red for Ghor-Clan Rampager . It lets you bloodrush for trample or gives you a trampler for Nighthowler to enchant. Coupled with Lotleth Troll , you don't even need Nylea, God of the Hunt .

I've been playing Dredge competitively for the past few months. I don't support the use of Strength of the Fallen . Strength of the Fallen most of the time is a "win more" card. The biggest problem is that it isn't a creature itself, and the number of times it prevents a turn 3 Nemesis of Mortals is annoying. I'd try a number of Dredge variants out and see what you like.

Nemesis of Mortals would probably be decent with stuff like Commune with the Gods , Satyr Wayfinder and something to give trample...like Nylea, God of the Hunt .
You'll need some ramp, Elvish Mystic s and Sylvan Caryatid s probably fit the bill.
