"Only the Avatar, master of all five colours, can bring balance to the world."

That is, of course, patently untrue. Karona only brings chaos, strife and lies. This deck is comprised of mainly threats and answers, with a strong emphasis on Avatar creatures. It's not technically a tribal deck as there are two exceptions: False Prophet and Birds of Paradise/Sylvan Caryatid. The Prophet, because every god needs one, and the bird and plant because some gods also need mana fixing.

I've changed some elements of the deck since it's inception. The mana base was a horrible thing, so I was able to obtain some shocklands and fetchlands to smooth it out. Also, the colours were spread too thin, so I consolidated most of the cards to be in colours.

As a god, Karona is capable of miracles, so I've updated the deck with a miracles package, complete with Sensei's Divining Top and Scroll Rack.

The deck is weak to a lot of different strategies, but since it mainly runs unexpected threats and versatile answers, you can sometimes unbalance the other players' game plans long enough to get some good hits in. Sometimes that's enough. I have definitely managed to best players with Door to Nothingness.

The inspiration for this deck is SaffronOlive's Avatar tribal deck that he played in a Commander Clash on MTGGoldfish. You can see his list here.
