Deck overview

This deck is a five-color midrange engine helmed by Karolina Dean, Runaway. Karolina produces {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} every precombat main phase, creating huge mana velocity that specifically funds spells cast from exile, graveyards, or library zones. The deck exploits this restriction with a dense suite of impulse draw, foretell spells, airbend abilities, and cascade triggers. Once Karolina untaps, the deck chains spells from exile to trigger paradox win conditions such as Nico Minoru, Runaway for table-wide burn, Iraxxa, Empress of Mars for token swarms, and The War Doctor for massive single-target damage. While vulnerable to early creature removal and board wipes that target Karolina before she generates mana, the deck's high density of interchangeable exile enablers and explosive mana advantage allow it to overwhelm opponents with scaling value.
