Deck overview

This deck is an Abzan graveyard midrange and reanimation strategy led by Karador, Ghost Chieftain. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard with utility creatures during early turns using self-mill and sacrifice enablers. Karador reduces his own casting cost for each creature in the graveyard and allows you to recast a creature from your graveyard every turn. The deck controls the board using repeatable enters-the-battlefield removal like Plaguecrafter, Aura Shards, and Skyclave Apparition. Meanwhile, card draw engines like Skullclamp, Guardian Project, and Beast Whisperer generate continuous card advantage. Once the graveyard and battlefield are stocked, the deck pivots into game-ending combat steps using Craterhoof Behemoth, Overwhelming Stampede, or a mass reanimation spell like Living Death or Ascend from Avernus to overwhelm the table.
