My first commander deck, made years ago, was a Golgari deck. It didn't have a very good focus, and was basically just a goodstuff pile with a bunch of cool cards. Recently, I've decided to revisit the Golgari deck, and this time around, I've chosen an obscure commander with a mechanic that I find really interesting, and really want to make work.

Basically, the point of this deck is to get big power creatures into the graveyard as soon as possible, and then use those to scavenge with Varolz. Then, attack with them, or sacrifice them for some kind of power-necessary value. The big combo with this, I think, is sacrificing these newly buffed creatures with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. By doing so, you drain all of your opponents with that fatty you just used Varolz on.

There are a bunch of creatures in this deck that are high power and low mana cost, as well, since you have to pay the cost to scavenge. Creatures like Death's Shadow and Phyrexian Dreadnought are awesome in this deck because whether or not you discard or sac them, they'll end up in the graveyard pretty quickly on their own, which is where you want them.

Skullbriar, the Walking Grave is another addition I made with scavenge in mind. The ideal situation is to play him, buff him with a bunch of counters by scavenging other creatures, sac him with Jarad or some other means for some value, and then scavenge him from the graveyard with all those juicy counters still attached to him.

There are a large number of sac outlets in the deck, and some discard/self-mill as well, but I know I could always add more and better options, so any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
