Death walks again v1.2 by Baron_Buchanan

Format: Commander

Commander: Karador, Ghost Chieftain

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Karador is a midrange reanimator engine: his cost reduction and once-per-turn graveyard cast make creature-based value and combo lines cheap to reassemble. The primary plan is to put Saffi Eriksdotter and Karmic Guide into play, then loop them through Altar of Dementia to deck every opponent. Secondary paths use Ghave, Guru of Spores with token doublers and Ashnod's Altar plus Cauldron of Essence for infinite drain, or grind with Betor, Ao, and repeated reanimation. Ghave acts as a hidden commander/combo anchor; Eirdu's back face, Isilu, provides persist to fuel these loops, while the front face's convoke speeds casting.
