First post. Used to have an account on here, but idr my username/pw, so I just made a new account.
I'm building a Karador, Ghost Chieftain deck and I'm looking for advice on wbat kind of cards would be good in this deck. I want to build a deck that has small value creatures (Qasali Pridemage), cards that benefit from dying (Wurmcoil Engine), cards with useful ETB effects (Acidic Slime. Maybe also some fatties that synergize with this strategy (Lord of Extinction.
I essentially want to build a low-ish curve deck that treats the graveyard like a revolving door. Maybe with some sac effects like Phyrexian Altar and Mind Slash. I definitely also just want an excuse to run Eerie Ultimatum lol.
Any suggestions on staples or "must-haves" would be very much appreciated!
Golgari Grave Troll and Life From the Loam are staples for a graveyard-based deck. Ashen Rider is a nasty option for Karador to be running. Skullclamp of course, and Greater Good. I had a lot of fun with a Karador spirit tribal deck a while back, and now I'm thinking about a Karador Squirrel tribal deck. Deranged Hermit and Deep Forest Hermit seem like awesome options in such a deck.
Elementals with evoke costs can be good too. Shriekmaw and Wispmare for example. Reveillark combos off with a sac engine and Karmic Guide if you want to be 'that guy' it can be good but it's pretty old news.

As for some decent options, I would look at ramp in the form of Sakura Tribe-Elder, Wood Elves, Farhaven Elf, etc.
Fiend Artisan is pretty decent and I have gotten a lot of mileage out of Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. If you care about it, he goes infinite with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and basically everything else.
Removal is also important. I went a long time with only having very basic spot removal and I found that was a mistake. Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Beast Within, Anguished Unmaking, etc. are all good for a variety of different reasons. Don't go super heavy on creature based removal because Torpor Orb and Overwhelming Splendor can be headaches to deal with.
Bane of Progress is a good card. Aura Shards can be phenomenal. And Karmic Guide is really good too.

Collector Ouphe/Stony Silence and True Believer/Leyline of Sanctity can tag-team to protect your graveyard from most things.
I need to cut 10 cards. I would love advice on what to take out.
Advice on additions/cuts would be appreciated.
