A deck that is focused on manipulating its graveyard to make huge creatures that you simply toss out at the other players using Jarad's abilities and call it a game.

All the ramp is creature-based in order to facilitate filling up the Yard if I no longer need them or if the creatures are killed over the course of time. Minimal amount of non-creature synergies, with every possible function (Draw, single target, board wipe, etc) all coming from the creatures in order to maintain a strong possibility of continuously filling the graveyard and then picking up the best possible from the choices in the graveyard with the animation spells.

A few creatures are there because they have really cool Necrotic Ooze effects, and I'm looking for more. Xathrid Gorgon, Reaper of the Wilds, Liliana's Shade, and Trumpeting Armodon are among them. Any suggestions for replacement creatures to be used would be awesome.
