A semi-budgetish deck in progress, where you get big powered creatures into the graveyard (by means of discard, sacrifice, tutors, etc.), where you then obviously use varolz's ability to put them onto logical creatures or Varolz himself, swinging in for tons of damage or using the voltron effects to aid you in this regard. There is some +1/+1 counter synergy but the deck really is based around the scavenge mechanic and while there are some extremely helpful counter-based effects (like The Ozolith) our goal doesn't exactly lie in that path, nor does it revolve around graveyards and sacrificing as the scavenge mechanic exiles such cards and it simply wouldn't make too much sense to go down that path either. Thus, the deck is really about simply getting em in the graveyard, and using synergistic effects with that to win. It isn't too bad at the moment considering I've just recently built the deck, but I would absolutely love suggestions, especially specific cards I may have missed since there's bound to be a bunch, as well as any suggested cuts (go figure). Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

[Semi budget, preferably nothing over 40-50 dollars at the moment]

• +1/+1 counter synergy cards (aim to not have too many of these)
• Ramp & Land cards
• Card Draw
• Some voltron cards
• The creatures to actually put in the graveyard
• SOME creatures to put counters on (don't need a lot since we have Varolz, mostly infect)
• Interaction/disruption
• Ways to get creatures into the graveyard (surveil? discard? some sacrifice?)

To do's:

• Needs more unblockable/trample effects
