Karlov of the Ghost Council (Retro Frame) (Ravnica Remastered) Light Play

Orzhov's Silent Arbiter

Karlov of the Ghost Council arrives as a compact engine for life gain decks. Karlov of the Ghost Council carries a low casting cost of {W}{B} and rewards incremental life with two +1/+1 counters each time you gain life. That steady growth turns small lifelink swings into a threat that can outscale blockers and shore up your board presence in mid to late game plays.

Beyond raw size, Karlov of the Ghost Council offers removal when you are willing to bank counters. Paying {W}{B} and removing six +1/+1 counters lets you exile a creature, which converts repeated life gain into targeted answers without relying on instant speed removal. This card fits naturally into Orzhov control shells and commander lists where life gain and attrition are central themes.
