So , Uncle Karlov is ready to grow strong.

Mostly this dack is based on Karlov being always at the field , and nothing else being there.

At least 2 mass removal and a lot of ( 15 ?) spot removal with help of Grandfather Karlov will at least keep the board clear. And cut by cut - from here , from there , a bit of extort, a bit of Ghost Councils - and Your opponents go to 0.

Sure , as it is a Commander deck there are at least two options for instant win. First - being nort hated - Your life will never be below 40 - which means - Felidar Sovereign is an auto-win option.

Also - Sanguine Bond or Defiant Bloodlord and Exquisite Blood + just 1 lifegain for You or 1 life lost by Your opponent and - instant win.

And sure , there is always an option just to beat down your opponents with such annoying creatures as all the Ghost Councils and the gods , if they are online.

There is also an answer to almost each threat, and an alternate game plan - Teysa and Tokens - cards , removal, value.
