Deck overview

This deck is an Abzan graveyard midrange deck led by Karador, Ghost Chieftain and built under the strict companion restriction of Umori, the Collector. Every nonland card in the 99 is a creature. The game plan focuses on rapidly filling the graveyard through self-mill creatures like Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, and dredge cards like Stinkweed Imp. Once the graveyard is loaded, Karador enters for a steep discount and casts utility creatures, removal, and massive scaling threats each turn. The deck finishes games around Turn 8 by generating wide armies with Aatchik, Emerald Radian or overwhelming opponents with massive graveyard-fueled beaters like Moldgraf Millipede and Neo Exdeath, Dimension's End. While its all-creature build limits reactive stack interaction, the deck exhibits exceptional engine recovery against standard creature removal.
