    Man, Gravebreaker Lamia is perfect in there. Not cool.
    • justintryon | Edited 03-Feb-2020 15:36
      I think what you meant to say was, SO cool. Trying to narrow the focus of this deck now in V2. Before it was a bit more "good stuff" and now it has cards more in-line with Karador's abilities.
      • Knuttypoo | 03-Feb-2020 16:19
        Glad to see you're dialing things in. I do kinda like that Blightbeetle you have listed in the sideboard.
  • Shawn | 05-Jan-2019 16:03
    Why Karador tokens?  If you add stuff like Sakura-Tribe Elder, you can ramp and get bodies in the graveyard.  When I see you play this deck, I'm not sure I ever see you cast Karador or use his ability.  Fill that graveyard and cast cheap fatties!
    • justintryon | Edited 05-Jan-2019 16:37
      As you have discovered, I'm doing an overhaul of the deck. Out with (most) of the angels, in with other good stuff. Sakura-Tribe Elder (old snake dude!) would be good. I have used Karador effectively in the past, but what usually happens is I go and get PA and try not to lose! I was impressed with Chip's Izoni deck and will incorporate that into it. I think tokens are a hold-over from Rhys being in the deck, plus Overwhelming Stampede. I also thought about Wood Elves, Elvish Pioneer, or Sylvan Ranger/Ainok Guide.
      Also, I have Buried Alive which I hope to squeeze in. Thanks for the suggestions.
