Not to derail your thread too far, but I disagree. When I set out to build my Karador deck, I essentially grabbed Birthing Pod and a reasonable curve of creatures with nice 187 abilities. As it happens, the list I ended up with is more or less the "average" Karador list if you look at all of the decks posted online, and it was completely unintentional. There's a reason for that beyond "good cards are good", and in my mind it's Karador's ability. The deck functions fine without him, but with him it can really be not fair. I've stumbled on lands, had my graveyard exiled, board wipes, you name it...but there's always that turn during the game where I start to feel like I can't lose, and more often than not it turns out to be true. You could of course deviate from that plan and make centaur tribal or something, but by and large I think Karador suggests a certain deck and the majority of people playing him are playing that deck.
