This deck started as a B/W Demon, Angel, Eldrazi deck because I wanted to use Brisela. I was struggling to find a commander that would fit and in general the right cards were not becoming apparent.

I started playing Magic at a local shop right around when SOI came out, so I am very new. In the first few months I bought a handful of multicolor legendarys and some planeswalkers with no particular deck in mind, just wanted to get a base of cards to start with.

It was suggested to me that I add green or blue one night, so I looked at what options I had in my binder and there Karador was. First try wasn't terrible, I lucked my way into a victory the first night I played it. I then revised it some getting away from being so locked into Demon/Angel/Eldrazi. It still needed work, it was too slow... 2nd revision I added in more tokens trying to give myself lots of creatures fast and things to sac to ashnod for mana and for making 3/2 Eldrazi. It got more ETB focused with a good amount of flickering and cards to find me more lands.

It was working better, had some good cards in there and then I was told about the boonweaver combo. I read up on it, I'm not playing super competitive, like to have games last a bit and I didn't want to be solely focused on going for a T4 win based on such a combo.

That brings us to now, I do have an "I win" combo with blood artist, revivallark and karmic guide, and I have found some other fun combos with those cards and a sac outlet. I looked at about 10 different Karador decks, grabbed cards that I liked and I feel I have a good balance now. Have some life gain, protection, removal, card draw, tutors, and some flicker... And a good amount of grave play... I was super disappointed when I realized that primeval Titan is banned :-( It still has some nice Angel and Eldrazi action, so its identity is not completely lost from my original intent.

Enjoy, feedback is welcome!

Any other creatures that let you tutor for non basic lands?

Update: Soooo I made changes again and the above identity that I initially went after has largely changed.

Another update: More ramp, lower curve...No more eldrazi.
