Karlov of the Ghost Council (Anime Borderless) (Ravnica Remastered) Light Play

Ghostly Ledger of Karlov

Karlov of the Ghost Council rewards steady life gain with tangible board presence. As a Legendary Creature Spirit Advisor, Karlov’s passive triggers each time you gain life, placing two +1/+1 counters on himself and quickly turning incremental gains into a clock your opponent must answer. The anime borderless art highlights his spectral authority and fits a control or lifegain shell where incremental advantage compounds over turns.

Beyond being a growing threat, Karlov trades counters for removal in a way that reads like careful bookkeeping. For the cost of white and black mana plus removing six +1/+1 counters you exile a creature outright. That conversion makes him both a finisher and a toolbox piece in midrange or aristocrat decks. Use him with recurring lifegain sources or small drains to accelerate counters and keep the board clear on your terms.
