I'm trying to work out if/how this deck will work and how to pare it down to 60 cards. I dont have many of these cards yet and its prevented me from shuffling up and seeing how things go. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated. I am on a budget which would rule out buying Damnation and likely Deed but I've been playing for years and I have a decent collection so don't hold back. If I don't have something, usually there is a more wallet-friendly option.
The concept is using Corpsejack Menace, Varolz, the Scar-Striped, and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to make trampling creatures of unreasonable size that either swing and/or are sacrificed to Jarad. Hermit Druid and Grisly Salvage will get stuffs in the yard and from there I can start using Varolz. Scourge of Skola Vale has star potential in this deck. Right now I feel like I have a lot of good options but I need to refine and streamline it so as to use the best possible set of cards. Our group uses almost the entire pool of cards but generally don't like to see truly degenerate combos.
Why work with a strategy that relies on so many factors? I also think your current list lacks focus towards +1/+1 counters. You only have Lotleth Troll and Scourge of Skola Vale that can generate counters for themselves, but they require a cost. There are tons of creatures that would performs better.
Run Kalonian Hydra and Primordial Hydra. Both can be very good on their own, with Corpsejack Menace they become insane (even win-more). Vulturous Zombie is another great card that grows fast in multiplayer. Forgotten Ancient is another all-star with Corpsejack. (When you move the counters from FA they also get doubled!)
This is my friends deck. I am not saying it's perfect, but if it's not handled quickly it can get out of control and usually provides some LULZ in the process. He's generally pretty budget oriented and the Kalonian's were a gift.

1 Oversold Cemetery
1 Gaze of Granite
4 Golgari Rot Farm
2 Yavimaya Hollow
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!

You could splash red for Deathbringer Thoctar. You'd also have access to Taurean Mauler, another great creature.
Triumph of Ferocity can draw you some extra cards. But I've also had some good experience with Hunter's Insight.
