About Karador, Ghost Chieftain

Karador, Ghost Chieftain, Legendary creature — centaur spirit, designed by Todd Lockwood first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 14 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.94.

A graveyard-focused reanimator deck would benefit greatly from using Karador, Ghost Chieftain, as it allows for efficient casting of creature spells from the graveyard and incentivizes filling the graveyard with creature cards. While there may be other powerful reanimator cards like Meren of Clan Nel Toth or Muldrotha, the Gravetide, Karador's ability to reduce its own cost based on the number of creature cards in the graveyard makes it a strong contender for inclusion in such decks. Karador should definitely see play in decks that aim to leverage graveyard synergy and reanimation strategies.
