Can people please post about my deck, I would like some advice on what I should switch or do differently. I made this deck with cards I actually have.

I would add  Life from the Loam and or  Crucible of Worlds. Let me look at some things I may have more advice later.

I would recommend adding some tutor effects like  Vampiric Tutor or  Demonic Tutor. As well as a couple more mana ramp.

I suggest adding cards like Golgari Rot Farm, Golgari Guildgate, Overgrown Tomb, Evolving Wilds, and Terramorphic Expanse. Although you may be only running 2 colors it can be helpful to shuffle the deck every once in a while. If you can get your hands on them I also suggest Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.



Edit: if you can't get Sensei's Divining Top you can use Crystal Ball in its place. Sol Ring is an other card that's a staple in EDH that's not to hard to get any more because of commander decks coming out resently.

I do actually have demonic tutor and golgari guild gate I will switch some cards out and update my list above, thanks for the advice its really great. Keep it coming.

You can't play Beckon Abbaration, its part white. If it was mono black you could, but its hybrid white

I fixed it on here and on my commander deck also, thanks I didn't see that.

Commander can be a tough format to start out in when your collection is just starting out - needing 100 cards, all different, and most of which will want to be rares, can be daunting when you're really limited. I hesitate to offer to many suggestions, because I don't know your budget, but here are a few cards and guidelines I can toss out to help you mold a successful EDH deck for Jarad.

1) if it's tiny, it should either produce mana (Elves of Deep Shadow, Quirion Elves) or love to die for you so you can sacrifice it happily (Solemn Simulacrum, Yavimaya Elder). There are a few exceptions of course - certain creatures have utility abilities that are just too useful to pass up. Your Vampire Nighthawk, for example, is pretty tiny in the EDH world, but his flying + deathtouch abilities make him a valuable blocker. Or Acidic Slime, one of the most useful 2/2's in all of EDH.

2) Jarad loves the unbelievably huge. Ghoultree is a fantastic start, but it's only one card - throw more mayhem into the mix with terrors like Doomgape, Artisan of Kozilek (or other Eldrazi), Moldgraf Monstrosity, or any if the possible 8/8s and larger out there. Most of them are pretty inexpensive, too!

3) Think about synergy - what cards will work with your strategy to make it better?  Are you sacrificing a lot of creatures? Reanimate-type cards will let you sacrifice multiple times, or let you sacrifice your biggest creature without a care! Add Savra, Queen of the Golgari and your sacrifices become even more potent! Need stuff in your graveyard? Check out dredge, like Golgari Grave-Troll or Golgari Thug.

4) Staples. As many as you can fit. Colorless has your Sensei's Divining Top, Sol Ring, and various "mana rocks" like Chromatic Lantern. Green has your mana ramp (Cultivate, Explosive Vegitation, Harrow), Birthing Pod, Garruk Wildspeaker, and artifact/enchantment removal like Acidic Slime. Black has TUTORS TUTORS TUTORS! Board-sweep effects like Life's Finale, Damnation, and Black Sun's Zenith, too. And Necropotence if you're feeling spunky/want to be a target In green-black multicolored you have Putrefy.

I need to stop writing book-length posts. Hopefully something in there is helpful

I do have a few of the cards you listed above like doom gape but the thing is the place where I play magic the gathering at we always have to use current cards so right now were using: 2011-2013 cards that are through that time made range. Which I think makes it even harder to make this deck above so can you all post recent cards that could help like (ex) gate crash

deathrite shaman
maelstrom pulse
abrupt decay
