We have the same concept, reanimate stuff albeit yours is pretty much straight forward from karador, it's tricky if he's not out in the field. I'd suggest

Stitch together life/death

for cheap reanimation

Doesn't seem quite focused enough. You have a lot of neat cards, but they kind of go in different directions.

For example, Doubling Season is a 5 drop that does nothing with your commander or 90% of your deck and doesn't interact with your opponents in any way. Doubling season is an amazing $50 card and all, but it doesn't really go with the rest of your cards. If you want to keep it, my suggestion is to get lots of creatures that make tokens ( Grave Titan , Hero of Bladehold , Brimaz, King of Oreskos etc.)

I think I would just swap it out for more cheap reanimation Animate Dead , Dance of the Dead , Necromancy . Or powerful creatures to reanimate.

It is one I've been thinking if dumping but as to your point it does interact with about twelve other cards in the deck and point of fact none of your suggestion interact any more with karador then doubling season does. The do reanimate though. I'll give you that.

Yeah, the fact that they are creatures or redundant reanimation spells makes them better in a karador deck than most non creature spells. I have had a lot of iterations of my karador deck with different strategies and in my experience if it isn't a creature spell it should either be a win con (or tutors for win con) or a way to protect yourself.

Your elf subtheme is pretty interesting, and is a way I havent gone. Ezuri, Renegade Leader , Eladamri, Lord of Leaves and a couple other elf lords probably would be pretty nice with that package you have going and would interact with roughly half of your current nonland cards

This started out Elves but slowly moved away from that. I had Ezuri but cut him as I added more non elf stuff. Eladamri I like. I was thinking of bumping him from my marwyn edh. Stupid shroud and all but I like the idea of him in here.

Have you thought about ever trying any hulkweaver combo shenanigans? Even if you don't put the whole thing in Karmic Guide and Reveillark are very strong with karador decks.

Had not thought about it but could be cool. I'd be open to it

I don't have my hulkweaver list on the site, but here is an example.

Karador Multiplayer Boonweaver Combo/Control

Do you know how the combo works?

No please explain

I wrote out a long comment explaining and it some reason logged me out. I will not be typing it all out again as it is a lot lol.

Here is a primer that explains it pretty well, but it was written before Protean Hulk was made legal again. It can basically be used interchangeably with Boonweaver Giant and Pattern of Rebirth .

I did end up putting my list with a bit of a primer on the site after my last comments and figure I should share it with you here in case you could find something interesting to add to your deck, or think of something to suggest for mine.

Looks like you definitely need more lands. Probably 34 at the least.

Anvil of Bogardan is good for both draw and discard. Final Parting would be another copy of Jarad's Orders but better.

Hi, you probably know already but I think Kethis, the Hidden Hand would be a good commander for abzan elf.

I like kethis. But I think his love of Legends hurts him for elf tribal. But I think there might be enough to do a legendary elf tribal in abzan. I went with karador so I could reanimate who I wanted. Thanks for the comment.
