Tap: Creatures you control gain protection from the colors of target permanent you control until end of turn.

Thank you for the suggestions DreadKhan. I like the Samite Elder suggestion, definitely adds some redundancy with Mark of Asylum.

I'll be tinkering with the deck list a bit more tonight with a friend. I have about 85% of the deck in paper, but am deciding on adjustments before I order anything new.

It's redundant, but Screams of the Damned can also Pestilence stuff. Samite Elder is a great way to protect your entire board from your Pestilence effects fwiw.

The Pestilence + Samite Elder combo seems like a good idea, because pestilence alone could boardwipe (at the cost of creatures) if I don't have samite out. Drumbellower is also a fun idea so I can block with deathtouch stuff as well. However, Energy Flux doesn't seem like the best idea unless i'm facing off against an artifacts list, because even though it would work as stax, I don't want to lose my artifacts. thanks for the ideas nonetheless.

It's a lot to set up, but Pestilence (or any analogue of it), Samite Elder and your Commander can wipe the board of opponent's creatures each turn for B, and you gain a ton of life potentially since it'll also have Lifelink, any excess Black mana can be dumped into Pestilence, and Pestilence can swing for 4 on an open board, and you can do the actual wipe at instant speed. Also good with a Drumbellower I suppose, then you can wipe on each player's turn for B.

It's a bit weird, but New Zur can do some shenanigans with Parallax Wave, since it can then exile itself, which brings everything back, including itself, so you can keep it around if you want, locking down a few problem creatures that don't have important ETBs (or you can flicker your own that have important ones, even a Spirited Companion drawing a card isn't bad technically), which is pretty good value for the 1W needed to turn it into a creature.

With so few artifacts, you could maybe look at Energy Flux, that really hurts decks that use artifacts.

Blitzak

could you take a look at my saskia deck there are some cards that want to take out/ replace. I was wondering if you tell me what which cards you think should come out all recommendations are welcome.

Cards: that i want to add are: Faeburrow Elder, Samite Elder and Dominaria's Judgment.

here's my deck: Saskia's Crusade

You need some cards that can give you, in one turn, enough traction for an alpha strike. Ankle Shanker is a particularly scary example. Driven / Despair, Dominaria's Judgment, Overwhelming Stampede, Ready / Willing, Rush of Battle for that aforementioned life gain, Samite Elder targeting Saskia, Spare from Evil assuming there's no human tribal in the meta, Vault of the Archangel, Overrun, are all super good group buffs.

So royku I run a less-competitive kaalia deck based on your budget one. Some cards to consider.
Torment of Hailfire, Samite Elder, Whispersilk Cloak. I know you have the latter two in the sideboard, but they are huge pluses.

The deck is looking pretty good. You got the master of cruelties + strionic resonator in there already which is huge.
The question I'd ask you though is what do you want to focus on? Angels + Dragons, Angels + Demons, or Dragons and Demons? While you can splash a couple of each into the deck I've found Kaalia plays better if you focus on two tribes. (I myself do dragons/angels).
