Maybe some {lotleth troll} to pump up? He's sick for that with his regenerate. Other than that this deck looks solid.

I have a question. If this deck have Red as well, and ran {Hellhole Flailer}, could you use {Hellhole Flailer}s ability then use {Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord}s ability in response to make them lose 8 life for {3}{R}{G}{B}{B}?

No, because the sacrifice is an additional cost to the mana costs, just like how you can't add mana to your mana pool, cast a creature and say in response I'm using the mana to cast this creature.

I don't quite understand, could you explain differently?

Because once you sacrifice a creature, you cannot use another sac ability "in response" to it targeting the same creature.

117.10. Each payment of a cost applies to only one spell, ability, or effect. For example, a player cannot sacrifice just one creature to activate the activated abilities of two permanents that each require sacrificing a creature as a cost. Also, the resolution of a spell or ability doesn't pay another spell or ability's cost, even if part of its effect is doing the same thing the other cost asks for.

Note: you can activate other abilities "in response" to another ability as long as you pay it's cost separately. For instance {vizkopa guildmage} 's 2nd ability in reaponse to activating {bubbling cauldron} .

I'd say drop {Trestle Troll} for {Lotleth Troll} the synergy with {Slitherhead} is crazy. At optimal you could turn 2 a 10/9 trampled with {B}: Regenerate. It's so sick

Taysby is getting too excited but ya  {Lotleth Troll} +  {Slitherhead} is perfect also try  {Desecration Demon} with it's synergy with  {Varolz, the Scar-Striped}

Good luck 😃

It's called {azorius charm}, breaker of all hopes and dreams.

WORST CARD EVER!!!

{Azorius Charm} wrecks anything without hexproof or protection. It's just unavoidable, so I don't consider if, because it effects any card.

{Ranger's Guile} if you're that worried
