Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord leads a self-mill graveyard deck. Mill creatures, enablers, dredge cards and tutors that bin creatures fill the graveyard, which grows Jarad and a large squad of creatures that count creature cards in graveyards. Jarad's sacrifice ability then turns those huge bodies into life loss for each opponent, and recursion and land-return effects keep the engine running. How it wins: The deck sacrifices an oversized graveyard-scaled creature to Jarad to drain every opponent at once, backed by big combat damage, Syr Konrad's death triggers, and the Wall of Blood combo, which pumps the Wall with life before sacrificing it to Jarad. Key roles: - Self-mill and dredge: these fill the graveyard with creature cards quickly, through milling on entry, upkeep milling, and dredge replacing card draws. (Stitcher's Supplier, Golgari Grave-Troll, Splinterfright) - Graveyard-scaled threats: these creatures and effects grow with the number of creature cards in graveyards, which makes them lethal attackers and ideal sacrifice fodder for Jarad's drain. (Lord of Extinction, Mortivore, Bonehoard) - Sacrifice payoffs: these turn creatures dying into damage, life loss, cards and mana. Jarad converts power into life loss for each opponent, and Wall of Blood can grow to any size by paying life for a lethal fling. (Wall of Blood, Syr Konrad, the Grim, Greater Good) - Creature tutoring: these find key creatures, or put them straight into the graveyard, to set up threats and recursion. (Buried Alive, Jarad's Orders, Fiend Artisan) - Recursion: these bring creatures back from the graveyard, or return Jarad himself, to keep sacrifice fodder and threats flowing. (Dread Return, Genesis, Deadbridge Chant) - Lands-in-graveyard value: milled lands and lands sacrificed to Jarad's own return ability come back through mass land return, recursion and token makers, so Jarad's land cost turns into an advantage. (World Shaper, Life from the Loam, Crawling Sensation)
