One of the longstanding tricks in the format is to play Karmic Guide alongside Saffi Erikdottir so that you can put the echo trigger on the stack and then sacrifice Saffi, eventually bringing back Karmic Guide (since, in your Karador deck, Saffi is cheaper to cast)

Even when it kills the creatures
