The deck looks pretty cool. But my question to you is how do you like the scavenge ability? I never really tried it out and have been curious about it. Is it worth throwing something together for it and can it be a competitive style deck now that  {Varolz, the Scar-Striped} is a thing

I've liked it so far in my testing. I tried to make the deck very Aggro and less reliant on his ability to scavenge everything in the graveyard. It's more of a bonus if I can get that to stick, and throwing rancor and counters on a Vampire Nighthawk is so delicious. This is also a tweak on Brian Kibler's Golgari Ooze deck as I'm not sure if Varolz is better than ooze. Gotta do some more testing
