Deck Description

Hopefully the idea of this deck is clear. Graveyard/discard/kill all the things, then dig for as many counters as possible with their bones!

This is about as "kitchen table" of a deck as it can get. It won't work all the time, but when it does it's dirty.

How to Play

So the point is to get as many massive creatures into the graveyard as fast as possible via Buried Alive, Lotleth Troll's discard ability, or through their own abilities (ie, casting Deaths Shadow with 20 life or Phrexian Dreadnought with no creatures in play). NOTE: Graveyard hate will destroy the whole idea of this deck. I am very aware of this.

Then get old Varolz into play as soon as you have him and at least one Lotleth Troll. Start scavenging for 1-2 mana and ALOT of +1/+1 counters.

The best part about this deck is that even if the scavenging counter strategy doesn't work, your backup is having (hopefully one or two) Vexing Devils or Death's Shadow's that haven't been exiled you could cast (with Unearth or in your hand) with low life and scrape together a late game.

Diabolic Tutor is there just in case you do play one of the other creatures and haven't pulled your Varolz/Lotleth Troll.

This deck is just supposed to be fun, so I know maybe putting all your "Trolls" in one basket is risky, but if it works, it can be alot of fun.
