If I use Karador, Ghost Chieftain to cast Enternal Witness from my graveyard and the Witness dies am I able to cast it a second time that turn? I was not sure if the card is refering to one creature or one time per turn.
Thanks
No. Karador's ability allows you to cast exactly one creature card from your graveyard during each of your turns. If you use it to cast an Eternal Witness, and the Eternal Witness dies during the same turn, you can't cast it from your graveyard again this turn unless Karador leaves the battlefield (and you have some other means of casting cards from your graveyard, or if Karador returns to the battlefield - but in this case you'd still only be able to cast exactly one more card).

You cannot cast the Witness again. You've cast your one creature card from the graveyard this turn--you don't get another, even if it happens to be represented by the same physical object. As far as the game's concerned, it's a completely different card than the one you cast.

If I play a creature using Karador, would I also be able to cast another creature out of my yard another way, like Haakon, Stromgald Scourge? In other words, does Karador limit me to only playing one creature from my yard a turn, or is it just one through his ability? -Jack
Karador's ability is permissive in nature. It allows you to cast a creature card from your graveyard even though you would normally not be able to do this.
If you cast Haakon from your graveyard due to its own effect allowing you to, this doesn't count against the one per turn restriction on Karador since you aren't using Karador's ability to allow you to cast it. Karador's ability won't stop you from casting Haakon more than once if Haakon ends up in your graveyard again.
