Well, yeah, but the problem is that I feel like he'd be removed before I start saccing permanents. Let's say I've got the sabertooth dockside combo primed and ready to go, and cast veil of summer, and then Korvold. Because they couldn't counter him or veil, they'll likely try Path/swords/ cyc rift him before I can resolve the sacrifices necessary to cast Not of This World. Is this not a valid concern? As I've said, I have a really limited level of experience when it comes to cEDH and EDH.

oh my bad forgot about the hexproof part of veil (damn that card is op). Well, just keep the above scenario in mind without veil--what if I have rhythm of the wild, he isn't countered, and then is rifted or pathed? I think I'm gonna add it anyway if i can find an extraneous card.

This is a good list for me to work towards with my Korvold deck. Thanks for sharing!

super cool. working on a goblin tribal korvold rn :)
