Welcome to the afterlife
Commander Deck Help forum

So I have been throwing around this idea for a Karador, Ghost Chieftain deck. It is going to be mostly G/W with a splash of black and it is going to focus on the idea of an "afterlife". Essentially creatures that leave something behind when they die or leave the battle field or they sacrifice themselves to get something. With Karador I will get maximum value from them. I am shying away from black zombies and undead. Since that is only one for of life after death. I love building fun themed decks that are also pretty decent.
Right now I am looking for cards to flush out the deck. I would love suggestions on cards or mechanics that I should take a look at. So far a have a few good ones: Reincarnation , Afterlife, Thragtusk, Yavimaya Elder, Symbiotic Wurm and the rest of the symbiotic series Penumbra Spider and the other Penumbra cards Honored Hydra , Sakura-Tribe Elder, Life's Legacy
I am leaning towards focusing on the enchanment Enduring Renewal and I trying to find cards that work with that as well.
Pelakka Wurm may not be the best creature but fits your theme.
Speaking of worms, Worldspine Wurm. Leaving 3 5/5s when he dies but sadly hes not gonna make it to your gy.Unless you got Reincarnation and a sac outlet. Damn that must be fun.

Wurmcoil Engine, Voice of Resurgence, Mitotic Slime, and Pawn of Ulamog? I will try to think of others not already suggested later.
It's a shame you can't have Reef Wurm and Chasm Skulker though.

Blisterpod? Hangarback Walker for sure. Doomed Traveler and Brindle Shoat. Dripping-Tongue Zubera Hallowed Spiritkeeper Elgaud Inquisitor
Don't forget about Teysa, Orzhov Scion too...

I think I am going to gravitate towards a positive or beautiful afterlife sub theme? and shy away from cards like Attrition or Pawn of Ulamog maybe gravitate towards angels and/or spirits. Some other cards I have found (instead of grading papers and doing my job): Archon of Justice, Walker of the Grove actually most evoke creatures seem good with Karador, Seed Guardian, Deathrite Shaman to conduct the funeral, and Yisan, the Wanderer Bard to play music at the service, Pattern of Rebirth, Resurrection, Spore Frog is on theme and is nasty with Karador

Some decent cards that can work with your strategy are Attrition and Greater Good. As far as creatures you want to die, Selfless Spirit comes to mind
