So, I set out to try and build a brutal Karador EDH that would make the most use of constant dredging. Lotleth Troll and Fauna Shaman go absolutely insane with Golgari Grave Troll (and other creature dredgers.)

The ramp is all creature based so you don't have any dead cards sitting in your grave after mass dredges. They also help count towards a cheaper Karador.

Long story short, you want to absolutely fill your grave with baddies and then recur them with things like living death. This deck is very straining on your noggin' though, as there are plenty of different ways to stack triggers for maximum effect after a mass reanimation.

I'll likely be trying to buy a survival of the fittest for this deck. I want to add Elesh Norn, but I can't seem to make a cut for her. I also would like to add a Blood artist, Knight of the Reliquary, and a Yosei to the deck.
