This deck hinges on two strategies that come one after the other if everything goes smoothly. First, the deck wants to control the board and stop its opponents from becoming threatening until it has established itself on the battlefield and built a solid presence. After this, the strategy becomes a voltron strategy and attempts to build Karlov up to a very threatening level, either as a big beater or for furthering your control over the board.

For the purposes of control, the deck actually runs a few non-blue counterspells such as Withering Boon and Lapse of certainty, along with a very large amount of spot removal, a fair amount of which goes around indestructible by exile.

For voltron purposes, this deck has an absolute-unit amount of lifegain triggers to get Karlov up to absurd amounts of counters in a very short amount of time, along with a few equipments to grant haste and unblockable to Karlov to go in for the kill by commander damage.
