ok so basically this deck focuses on having control over the table, loads of effects helping building up Karlov of the Ghost Council like Aetherflux Reservoir + Authority of the Consuls and since its a commander deck it focuses on small and frequent lifegains and it don't matter that much how life you have. Protection is king and you can never trust anything ive added all the hexproof/protection cards i know about all from the Lightning Greaves + Mask of Avacyn to General's Kabuto + Spirit Mantle

also since there is not many creatures to protect you ive added the crowd controls Hundred-Handed One + Palisade Giant and Palace Guard and with combos like shield of pariah + beloved chaplain or the shield with Souls of the Faultless + Stuffy Doll to make it less comfortable to attack ive also added Ghostly Prison + Norn's Annex and to make it uncomfortable to attack there is Teysa, Envoy of Ghost

finally no EDH/Commander deck is complete without board whipes, ive added a few

if you have any tipps or ideas to make this a better deck please let me know, im trying to hold it to a budget so expensive cards won't get inn
