Why doesn't it just say "Affinity for creature cards in your graveyard"?

Karador has a ton of extremely potent spells to go in his deck. There are obvious inclusions such as Shriekmaw and Bone Shredder, and there are some not so obvious combinations, such as Zombie Infestation, Worm Harvest, and Praetor's Counsel. Basically every card with Dredge is an auto-include in his deck. Also reusable, and abuse-able, cards to go with Birthing Pod, with a Grave Pact on the field of course. Karador's deck can become one of the most terrifying to hit the table if you build it right, since it has White and Green in it you should never have to worry about pesky graveyard hate, Krosan Grip deals with anything that has an activated ability, such as Tormod's Crypt or Relic of Progenitus, also if you must, there is also Bind to counter those abilit...

I think he's the one card that can viably command a spirit tribal deck.
Iname, Death Aspect to fill your graveyard (getting around 5 random creatures + utility stuff like Bloodghast and Nether Traitor + all the Eidolons available) or use some of the better channel abilities (namely Arashi, the Sky Asunder and cast him for cheap. Then start casting goodstuff spirits (Yosei, Karmic Gude, Souls of the Faultless, the Myojin, Kodama of the (...) Tree, Divinity of Pride, Deity of Scars, Oversoul of Dusk, Seedborn Muse, Windborn Muse). In case something goes wrong with Karador, keep Iname, Life Aspect around to backup all your creatures.

I was blown away by this card, so I went to order him off of strikezone. Saw it was 99 cents for a foil. "WOW! Sign me up!" I thought. Strikezone package arrived. The look of disappointment on my face when I pulled that oversized card out of that envelope...I have since learned my lesson.
That aside, an awesome card in any format.

Even if you aren't playing a deck with too much graveyard love (Entomb, Buried Alive, etc.), he is quite an effective "Non-issue" general.
A "non-issue" general is one that has a decent effect, but doesn't provide a massive threat on its own. An "issue" general would be someone like Krenko, Mob Boss or Sheoldred, Whispering One; Once they hit the field, your opponents, no matter how many you're playing against, will target you.
Sure, you could TRY to convince your playmates to target your next door neighbour who's playing Sharuum and has a Phyrexian Metamorph in their grave and a Disciple of the Vault (infinite combo there), but they're going to think you're trying to fool them or trying to avoid their wrath (which you are).
But when he's there, he just allows you to choose from more spells to play, some of which your opponents can predic... (see all)

What is his CMC for the birthing Pod?
There are kind of no good 9 CMC creatures in the game so if it is his current cost counting the reduction and does the number or increases due to command zone entry play any roll?
