Kah-rahbo, a.k.a The Kuriboh Deck, its strategy relies on putting out cats and letting them bounce counters off each other while you give them all vigilance and lifelink.

Phase 1

You will want to get out a solid cat or two, making use of a monstrous Fleecemane Lion, a Canopy Cover, or any of the other cards which make creatures temporarily indestructible. Your cats will start to build up a solid line on the board.

Remember to use Arahbo, Roar of the World to give one of your cats +3/+3 at the start of combat each turn. This in combination with a cheap, lifelink cat like Sacred Cat cat help you get an early lead and a bit of a damage buffer while you're setting up phase 2.

Phase 2

The second phase begins when you bring Kaheera, the Orphanguard to your hand. You'll want to have at least 6 mana available to pay the 3 colorless to bring her to your hand and then player her on the same turn, though if you need her earlier, you can risk bringing her in around turn 3 or 4 (depending on your manabase), though it means she will sit in your hand for a turn. Once she is out, all of your cats have vigilance and +1/+1. With Kaheera and a couple of strong cats out, now even stronger, you will have a formidable wall of cats as well as some extra hit points to take damage if needed. The couple of control spells in the deck like Swords to Plowshares and Journey to Nowhere will slow down your opponent as you continue to build up your cats with counters.

Phase 3

Phase 3 begins when you first bring out Arahbo. Preferably, you will still have Kaheera out when this happens. His +3/+3 ability still triggers, but now you can double a cats power and give it trample by spending 3 mana. With everything together, an Adorned Pouncer has 1/1 with Double Strike, gains +1/+1 and vigilance from Kaheera, gains +3/+3 from Arahbo, and then doubles its power and toughness, and gains trample from Arahbo's activated ability. Then instead of a 1/1 with Double Strike you have a 10/10 with Double Strike, Vigilance, and Trample.

The rest of the game is just strategically distributing these benefits each turn until you win.
