[EDH] Karador, Ghost Chieftain

[boneclub24]

Ihave a fairly laid-back playgroup. Rarely any combos. We play once a week on Thursdays.

Anyway, I still need to aquire a few EDH staples (Krosan Grip, tutors), but in general, this deck feels finished. I only have so much money to spend on the deck, so nothing too expensive, please. :laugh:

I've run Karador for a few weeks, and here's my finished list. It's pretty brutal, but my playgroup tends to have more fun playing really competitively, for EDH.

As far as budget additions go, Stitch Together, Necrotic Sliver, and Fleshbag Marauder are things I would consider adding.

Stitch Together is obviously awesome. Might include it over one of the current reanimation spells. Necrotic Sliver is like a Vindicate... but a rattlesnake. Quite interesting as well. Marauder is also great. I will try and make room here.

I'm building a deck similar to this. One thing I included was Birthing Pod as it's ability to essentially tutor anything I need is great. Plus it combos great with Grave Pact / Martyr's Bond which you can get from a dead Academic Rector.

Both for the current build, and if you add Birthing Pod, Reassembling Skeleton is a great card. It allows you easy access to something to dump mana into (only 1B but its something) and with Skullclamp it means you have unlimited black divinations.

Knight of the Reliquary is also a fun card. I use Krosan Verge type lands to produce mana excel, I don't have land sweepers in my meta though I do have targeted land hate which won't cause me to over extend my mana base.

Shred Memory is amazing. At worst it just gets Demonic Tutor, but it can also get your reasembling skeleton, lightning greaves, Scavenging Ooze, Stone-forge Mystic. And its also targetable graveyard hate.

Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger is a game warping bomb of a card so I say he'd probably be good.
Myojin of Night's Reach for the same reason.

Beast Within solves most problems.

Eladamri's Call is a nice tutor, sense you said you were planning on getting some.

I don't know what you should take out. Its kind of up to you as the more you take out the more it changes the core of your deck. Birthing Pod has a lot of cards that can revolve around it.

And whats the best way to link cards on this forum? This is actually my first time posting, long time lurker.

Thanks for sharing all of those with me. I'll try and find some copies.
