Karlov of the Ghost Council - Competitive TL

Sideboard


Hey everyone! I first got introduced to Tiny Leaders a year or two ago and I've been in love with it since. Originally I played Merieke Ri Berit but then they printed Karlov of the Ghost Council and I knew what deck I wanted to focus on. Built it on day one.

At first it was rough but through hundreds of games of playtesting against a huge variety of decks (There's a fair bit of Tiny Leaders in my area) the deck has evolved into what you see here. Just added Shadows Over Innistrad to it. A competitive deck that has answers to most things in this format.

Some important notes to playing this deck:

  • Playing a life gain source on turn 1 should always take priority. If it gets killed, it happens. If not, they have a 4/4 Karlov to contend with on turn 2.

  • There are a fair number of moving parts to the deck so it's important to think your plays through. When is it right to gain life? When is it right to hold back that gain life to save Karlov from instant speed burn? Who do I equip the Collar to to make an additional threat?

  • For people out there who hate "Red Deck Wins", while this deck does lose games here and there against others, I can say that in all the games I have ever played with this deck, I have never once lost a game against mono red. All the life gain simply ruins Christmas for them.

A NOTE ABOUT THE SIDEBOARD

You'll notice the sideboard is only at 8 cards, it's because I havn't figured out the optimal last 2 cards yet. I've got bad placeholders in there at the moment. I removed Elixir of Immortality from the sideboard because I was blitzing down mill decks faster than they were milling me.

Arguments for 2 optimal sideboard cards to add are more than welcome. Tell me what you think of the deck!
