My pet EDH deck Karador. Pretty much exemplifies my playstyle of preferring grindy midrange creature decks that slowly ekes out card advantage over the course of the game.

The deck does feature a few explosive plays like Lord of Extinction + Jarad to end games in a hurry when you need to and also technically Vish Kal + Saffi Eriksdotter and Sun Titan // Reveillark or Vish Kal + Karmic Guide + Reveillark // Saffi Eriksdotter is an infinite combo but I have never pulled that combo off with this deck and if I have the ability to tutor for a combo I usually prefer to go for the Lord of Extinction combo instead since its a cleaner kill that hits all players.

Deck's main weakness is that its slow as a turtle during its setup, and I have been really stingy with the mana base so there are those 5-10% of games where you just draw really sucky land combinations. You are going to want to mulligan for colors or mana fixing in this deck.

I like this version of Karador because it isn't a dedicated combo graveyard deck therefore you aren't completely blown out by graveyard hate.

Most overrated card I feel is Deadbridge Chant since 90% of the time it ends up being a mill myself for 10 for 6 mana and the card advantage it ekes you is completely up to RNG. (That said I play it cuz it's just awesome lol)
