Awesome list! Please add Terrain Generator, Thespian's Stage, Vesuva. It makes that Valakut and all your basics extra deadly. Maybe Blood Moon too. Punish opponents for being greedy.

This might be shameless self promotion but feel free to look at my Skycaptain Kari Zev Captain of the Sky! for less obvious tech.

Yours is probably the closest to mine I've seen so far, so I can recommend adding in Ghirapur AEther Grid and Inspiring Statuary. Not only do they make use of a resource totally free (Tapping Artifacts) they also allow you to tap Static and Winter Orbs during end steps and make their effects onesided plays.

One card I'd highly recommend in Kari is definitely Trading Post.

the_earl_0f_grey thank you for the suggestions! I very much like Inspiring Statuary and Trading Post!

Also, I've taken a look at your list and I've decided to maybeboard Mask of Memory as well.

Hopefully your playgroup hasn't noticed that Blade of Selves doesn't really work as its described here. Kari's ability triggers on the attack, and since the Kari Clones are put into the field attacking (identical method as Ragavan's trigger actually) they aren't able to trigger their own Ragavans unless they are around to be declared as attackers during the beginning of the phase. Unless of course you managed to combine it with the Sundial of the Infinite for the next combat.

the_earl_0f_grey thank you for the heads up! Thankfully I've been doing it correctly; I just worded the interaction oddly in my description, which I've now fixed.

armymonster2 of course! I'd love the Kari stax idea to spread!

GrixCHIM, Thank you so much!!! I'll mention you in my description and link it to you once I'm finished if you'd like!

If you're interested in any more stax effects Damping Engine can be fueled entirely by Ragavan once you take the lead, worst case scenario can sacrifice itself. Price of Glory combined with your War's Toll (occasionally Tectonic Instability) will keep counterspells, Cyclonic Rift, and Seedborn Muse at bay. Im sure you've already considered Blood Moon but Planar Chaos is all but forgotten these days and does a fantastic job at keeping spells at bay and Torpor Orb can shut down most things while only stopping your own god and tremors triggers. Kill Switch can shut down artifact heavy metas while also being another method of manipulating your orbs. Portcullis can also be backbreaking in a stax shell. Ragavan can also be used to fuel a Helm of Possession as well.
