Have you ever wanted to take your library and just stack it exactly how you want it?  Have I got a treat for you!  Based on an idea from Deeslir10:

{Grimgrin, Corpse-Born} + {Gravecrawler} + {Jar of Eyeballs}  = B: Put two eyeball counters in the Jar and a +1/+1 counter on Grimgrin.  I love these two guys in Standard! :-*

In Standard, {Falkenrath Noble} gives a big boost here. Splash R for {Rage Thrower}. {Selhoff Occultist} to eat their brains like a good zombie should.

If we are willing to leave Standard for a minute, why not throw in a frequent combo piece of mine: {Paradise Mantle}.
Being able to tap the Saw cast member for mana lets us go infinite, or in official Magic terms, "arbitrarily large number".
Now we can add 100's of eyes to the Jar (I seriously don't know where all of these eyeballs are coming from) and then fish'em all out like they were pickled eggs!  :9

Now you can stack your entire library however you want.  Randomness is for the weak and foolish!

Season liberally with cards like:
{Grave Pact}
{Opposition}
{Blade of the Bloodchief}
{Butcher of Malakir}
{Deathgreeter} (Soul-less Warden)
{Pawn of Ulamog}

For bonus challenge points:
{Salvaging Station} + {Chromatic Sphere} + {Grand Architect} instead of {Paradise Mantle}.

Enjoy!

How could I forget to add {Secrets of the Dead} for B: add +1/+1 to Gringrin, add 2 counters to the jar, AND draw a card.  Heck, stacking your deck might be irrelevant at that point.
