I have been working out the kinks in this deck. Last night i got 2nd at the local tournament holding. Went 4 and 1 [4 wins, 1 loss] which is the best ive done up there. I want to win lol so here's my deck, comments and critique welcome =]
I like what you've done here. I, too, experimented a lot with Corpsejack menace and I came to the conclusion that it works best when you're not actively trying to scavange creatures, and instead use creatures that have undying and get counters naturally. The resilience of your creatures works great for blocking and really makes your opponent not want to kill them initially.
My suggestions to you are as follows:
For the greatest difference affecting your entire deck, do whatever you can to change those Golgari Guildgates to Woodland Cemetary, and get at least one more Overgrown Tomb.
25 land might be a little much in this deck. I'd drop down to 23, and if you're brave and have the money or trade bait to do so, I would change at least one land to a Kessig Wolf Run and change some lands to red dual lands (not guildgates!) to fuel it. Getting extra pump damage and trample will easily push you to the next level, but again ... this is an expensive addition to your deck.
See about changing at least one of your Vraska's to Garruk, Primal Hunter. This will give you additional 3/3 beasties and/or card draw and really fits better with your deck, in my opinion. Garruk The Relentless isn't too bad, either.
If you have the means, change the two Bone Splinters in your main deck to Abrupt Decay. I would also change the Ultimate Price to Tragic Slip considering the nature of your deck ... it will kill far more creatures.
Speaking of Morbid effects, consider trading out 2 Increasing Savagery for 2 Hunger of the Howlpack. In a Corpsejack deck, this can be a complete game changer in a single turn, especially on a trampling beastie.
I'm not a big fan of Slitherhead, although I can see he works well here. I dunno, perhaps taking two out for Deadbridge Goliath would be worth testing. Or maybe even trading all 4 for Arbor Elf to help give you some ramp (or even Farseek).
-4 Young Wolf
+4 Experiment One (All around strong card and great synergy with Increasing Savagery)
-3 Champion of Lambholt
+4 Predator Ooze (All around strong card and great synergy with Corpsejack)
-4 Slitherhead
+4 Gravecrawler (Slitherhead is too weak for its situational benefit(going nuts with Troll/Corpsejack), which is, I admit, really nice. Keep Slitherhead if you really must.)
+2-3 Essence Harvest. I really think it's an undiscovered god-tier card. Try it out at the very least. After you burn someone for 9, winning you a game you had no business winning, you'll never go back to "good" cards ever again.
you're playing corpsejack but no predator ooze and experiment one?
kk
i dont have them. and i dont rly need them. corpse jack works well with my undyers, scavenge, Champion of lambholt, and increasing savagery. whats even better is that all that still works without him.

-2 Ultimate Price
+4 Tragic Slip (kills: Lotleth Troll, Predator Ooze, Falkenrath, Reckoner, Olivia, Angel of Serenity)
-4 Young Wolf
+4 Experiment One (All around strong card and great synergy with Increasing Savagery)
-3 Champion of Lambholt

I was thinking of putting in a couple of conjourer's closet and another champion of lambholt and using that as a combo w/ my undyers and corpsejack
