This is a deck I'm working on.  Let me know what you guys think, and i really need help on sideboard.

Needs more  {Blood Artist} and  {Varolz, the Scar-Striped}

Harmon74

What would you take out for more  {Blood Artist}?  And how many  {Varolz, the Scar-Striped} would you put in?  I'm not sure he does a whole lot with the little critters I have.

I'd say only like, 2 Varolz. Basically, you'll just have a bunch of {Slitherhead}s in the graveyard. But, he does seem like he could be a decent mana dump mid game. 

As for SB, {Abrupt Decay} could be nice. Especially if you do put Varolz in so you can get rid of pesky {Rest in Peace}s.

Bman0121

Probably swap out undying evil for varolz because you need more sac putlets and 4 cartel aristocrat isnt enough and as for blood artist i would probably drop a thragtusk and a orzhov charm also  {Lingering Souls} to feed cartel and varolz and make blood artist so much better

Harmon74

Updated.  My only thing with  {Undying Evil} is that it seems so nasty with  {Thragtusk}.  Lol

Harmon74

What are your thoughts on {Bloodthrone Vampire} as another sac outlet?  And maybe  {Rancor}.

I would stitch to 3 varolz considering he is your other aristocrat and put deathrite shaman at 3 he is good but not insane in standard, what would you take out for blood throne because with varolz you can scavenge onto cartel aristocrat which seems so good and yeah undying evil on thragtusk is good but lingering souls in this deck is probably even better than thragtusk you get 4 creatures to sac to your sac dudes and is good with blood artist and if they board wipe you can sac a spirit to varolz to keep him alive then next turn you can flashback and scavenge all your board wiped dudes also with blood artist lingering souls is probably the best card for him

Sounds like a pretty solid argument.  :) I'll update, and tell you how it works out.

This deck seems super fun to play

Thoughts on maybe having {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad}, or  {Garruk Relentless} in this deck?

Sorin is better because of lifelink and making your  {Cartel Aristocrat} bigger

I wanted to bump this because a pro player in a big scg tourney is playing something very similar, and doing very well this weekend.
