My take at Karador, Ghost Chieftain!

This is a "lands matters" list.

No combos by design, but something very close to a hard lock is possible.

Edit: I have now been play this list for quite some time and I love the lands matters "archetype", yet Cabal Coffers is so incredibly strong that more then just a few cards are on the list was added just to support Cabal Coffers (e.g. Realms Uncharted, Hour of Promise, Thespian's Stage, Deserted Temple, and of cause Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth)

The inclusions of this entire package has pushed the focus of the deck away from lands interactions and instead turned into "find Cabal Coffer, Thespian's Stage, Deserted Temple, Urborg", make a ton of mana and Use Chainer, Dementia Master + a sac outlet to abuse any good creature (e.g. Kokusho, the Evening Star, Yosei, the Morning Star, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord)

The deck has been working very well, and secured its fair share of wins. But to get the focus back to "Lands matters" I am going to rebuild the deck and exclude Cabal Coffers! I will still keep this list here in case anybody wants to see it.

The new list can be found here together with a list of the cards that has been changed: Karador 2.0 - No Cabal Coffers!
