The goal is to have as many instances of gaining life as possible to get enough counters on Karlov to use his ability and have it ready to go again right away. No Felidor Sovereign because alt wins are for chumps. This deck's win con is almost always general damage because of how fast and consistent he gets counters. Hope y'all enjoy!
