At the release of Commander 2015, I was very excited to see some new orzhov generals. Karlov is by far my favorite of any other. There's plenty of easy ways to gain life in B/W, from protective lifegain, ETB, or draining. The theme of this deck is to specifically not win with cards like Felidar Sovereign, and get as many triggers on Karlov as we can. Life total means nothing in this deck, we just want Karlov to trigger so many times he wipes the board on his own and is still able to lethally attack someone.
