This is my take on Karlov. This deck wants to close out the game with combat damage, but there are some combos in case Papa can't connect. A one hit kill most people don't see coming is Essence Harvest. If Karlov is huge, you can cast it to knock one player out, then swing at another.

Bolas's Citadel is one of those cards that if you get too greedy, you end up killing yourself. But it is also a great finisher with Sensei's Divining Top and Aetherflux Reservoir. All these cards are good on their own, but you can tutor them up together with Insidious Dreams
