After several days of reasearch and manipulation I've put together my take on a Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord EDH deck. There are a few different approaches one can take when building this deck, however, I've decided to use the dredge mechanic and sacrifice fatties to yours truly. Please review my deck list and feel free to rip it apart! I'm sure i've made some oversights and forgotten about many of the good cards that could go in this deck. Perhaps there is some synergy that I could add.
Please, if you do make any suggestions, mention both the card you feel should be removed; which one should be added and why. This always leads to healthy debate and plenty of exploration.
You have Ghoultree on your list twice. I like your list, I'm actually thinking of building my own Jarad deck here soon, but I'm still unsure of how reliant on him I want to make it.
You could run a scavenge oriented deck using Varolz, the Scar-Striped. That's what I do, couple that with big guys, a corpsejack menace, some self mill via Nyx weaver, and mana ramp and Library retrieval you can easily win. It plays a bit slower, but the scavenge any creature plus double counters make it a great and easy win. Just self-mill him out, retrieve from the graveyard and activate his ability. DONE!
Thanks for the viewing and bringing to my attention my duplicate posting of Ghoultree. I've deleted the duplicate but I'll have to make some adjustments to the card counts. I'm going to sit down and try and arrange the post a little better so my decklist matches some of the more professionally posted deck lists. I've read one post that mentioned you should post your decklist in terms of casting cost especially when asking for help adding and subtracting cards.
I hope my list will give you some good ideas! This is currently a work in progress so check back as It's always nice reading other people's ideas.
Hmmmm how reliant to be on your general...that's a good question. I once read a article about building an EDH deck and the author said you should always try and incorporate your commander rather than having him sit on the sidelines. More than an other card in your deck I think you should rely on your commander the most, after all he can always be recast after being destroyed or exiled. I think there is something to be said about that.
Please post again once you've got your decklist together (or anytime if looking for advice). I'd love bounce some ideas back and forth.
Thanks for the post! The scavenge oriented deck looks pretty sweet and looks like it would be fun to play. I'm sure the Imperator will enjoy looking into some different approaches. I really like Nyx-weaver it's such a great card. It's currently one of the cards I'm trying to make room for. Maybe now that's I've deleted my duplicate Ghoultree I can get that bad boy in there!

My Trade Thread
I will admit, Grave-Shell Scarab was a filler and Sheoldred, Whispering One would be a huge upgrade. I'll definitely make some adjustments to the decklist.
Could you post a link to your decklist?
I'm also thinking about adding Puppeteer Clique. I think it would be fantastic in this deck!
My Trade Thread
I had a look and it looks good!
I made a few selections from your mana base: Buried Ruin, Crypt of Agadeem, Vesuva, Volwrath's Stronghold
I made a few selections from other areas: Ghoultree, Cauldron of Souls, Deathbridge Chant, Vampiric Tutor
I think all of these cards a self explanatory. I really like Buried Ruin, Ghoultree, Cauldron of Souls and Deathbridge Chant. I think they fit perfectly in this kind of deck.
And of course I think almost any deck, but more specifically this deck needs a tutor.
