Used this deck to some successes with my playgroup during deployment earlier this year. But now that I am home I am looking to replaced the cards I now know are banned and fine tune Karador. Would love any inputs or ideas on what to change or try out, usually play with pods of 4 or 6. Only rule is no combo. Thanks in advance!
Okay. So I have infinite combos in the deck that I don't use, got you. Looking for ideas to help make my deck better. But yes, I have infinite combos in the deck. Just not looking to add combos, just some new ideas.
Sakura-Tribe Elder doesn't pretty much everything you want, ramps, is a creature and puts a creature in gy. Liliana, Heretical Healer lets you discard and reanimate which is perfect for Karador. Sidisi is just generally a good card for a deck like this. You can sac Karador for Morbid Curiosity and draw 8 cards.
I would cut Karn. He doesn't have any relevant abilities that help abzan colors, you can't recur it with Karador and he costs 7 mana. Sheoldred, Whispering One, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger are also pretty bad. They just cost a lot of mana Sheoldred and Elesh Norn just do nothing if your opponents don't have any creatures and Vorinclex has no impact on already tapped lands. I guess Elesh Norn is ok your meta has bunch of weenie decks but I'd still run something like Spore Frog over Elesh Norn. Better cards would be Terastodon, Iona, Shield of Emeria and Void Winnower
One immediate upgrade at a glance: Exsanguinate out and Debt to the Deathless in. While the initial investment is higher, if your goal is to drain people out Debt does a better job of it once you're investing your Cabal Coffers etc. mana.

Viscera Seer + Reveillark + Karmic Guide + Fiend Hunter lets you blink any creature any number of times. Blink sun titan to recur animate dead to reanimate Kokusho, the Evening Star which you then sac for seer (sac grave titan for infinite creatures). Even if you don't have fied hunter you can just recur Acidic Slime with Reveillark to destroy all artifacts and lands.
If I wanted an example of a degenerate combo deck I would look no further.
