I'm not entirely sure what to do with this deck. I think it is pretty good but it needs a certain matchup or the cards to come up a certain way. I feel like it has a split focus and is almost 2 decks in one. On one hand I want to get out a troll or Varolz and get creatures in my graveyard to scavenge them and beat you down while on the other hand I want to kill everything you put on the battlefield and then get Vraska out to assassinate you. While they two side can work well together, the duality of the deck makes it seem inefficient. I could just lighten one half of the deck and boost the other side but I'm also considering splitting it into two decks: Troll and Vraska.Troll:Add cards like pack rat and Arbor colossus to give me another discard outlet and another value scavenge creature. I'm not sure where my resiliency to disruption would come from because while the Trolls (Varolz/Lotleth) can be regenerated, bounce spells and couterspells would kick my ass.Vraska:Add cards like putrefy and mutilate along with Liliana Vess to have a bigger hate on creature based decks while not really running many (if any) of my own rendering opponents creature hate mostly useless. Adding some discard effects like mind rot or duress would help me protect my Assassin tokens for my win con.Not sure any of this is going to be better than what it already is but is something I might try.-B

I agree with what you're saying about split goals, but I don't think you need to split it; Vraska is a good enough card that two of them on the top of the curve is fine, even if they don't strictly speaking for into the game plan. What I see when I look at this deck is a few inefficient cards that could be something better. Slitherhead is synergistic, but in a best case scenario is a card that puts one +1/+1 counter on a creature, which doesn't seem to merit a card slot, and while Loleth Troll is good, Varolz is your only way to scavenge, so in most cases, his "discard to pump" ability is just built in card disadvantage. I think cards like Dreg Mangler that are good and can scavenge themselves might be needed here.
Bill’s assessment of the deck is right on.I agree with mystery man’s suggestions for salvaging the focus of this deck, but I LOVE your split deck ideas.Troll:Troll + Varolz + Pack Rat + Scavenge value cards = wow. My favorite value-scavenge card (with Varolz) that barely missed the cut in Jarad was Deadbridge Goliath. And hello, Desecration Demon. I’m not sure what the supporting cards should be, but you’ve got something here.Vraska:Vraska was built for a control deck, which your non-Troll half of your deck is a good start. If you want to be winning more games by assassination, control is the way to go.-Mike
