I thought about putting that in, but now I'll actually try and find one. And I know Griselbrand is banned, he's mostly in there just for fun and because my playgroup is okay with it. Thanks!

I'd lose all of the creatures that don't make a devastating change to the boardstate. Each one should individually be a "deal with this now" kind of threat. I'd drop Guardian of the Gateless , Battlegrace Angel , Deathpact Angel , and Shepherd of the Lost , for starters. You can replace them with Utvara Hellkite +Scourge of Valkas (which just gets silly if left unchecked), Platinum Angel , and definitely Hellkite Charger to abuse Kaalia.

Very cool deck, but I agree with the5ervant regarding the fact that some of your creatures lack the 'oomph' that one would expect from a Kaalia deck. I'd say that Hellkite Charger is an absolute must.

If possible Replace Griselbrand with Demonic Tutor

i would add some signets in your colors because if you get one of those a sol ring and a land that produces a mana that the signet doesn't you can turn two kalia.

May 22, 2014 12:44 a.m.

logansullivan says... #11

Enlightened Tutor isn't really worth it since I don't run a lot of enchantments or artifacts. Same for Stoneforge Mystic , I have no equipment. Sneak attack isn't great since I don't want to sack my creatures

Kornex2000 says... #14

This is bullshit, Enlightened Tutor , Steelshaper's Gift and Stoneforge Mystic are all for fetching Lightning Greaves , (your best support card for kaalia). Sneak Attack is amazing in combination with cards like Sword of Light and Shadow , Phyrexian Reclamation , Volrath's Stronghold and Whip of Erebos . It is good to abuse of dying or enter the battlefield effects suck as on Kokusho, the Evening Star , Yosei, the Morning Star , Rune-Scarred Demon , Angel of Serenity .... and many other cards. It can also help if you want to do a little reanimator subtheme. There are some great Reanimate cards such as Dance of the Dead , Animate Dead , and Necromancy . I just thought that I would throw some fun ideas out there. :)

Sublime Archangel seems counter intuitive towards your generals ability.

have you considered Baneslayer Angel ?(i only suggest it because i love this cards art.)

which would work sort of well with Archangel of Thune

maybe a Caged Sun for some ramp aid

Kornex2000 says... #16

haha, I guess you didnt like my suggestions XP, I got a notification saying that you commented on this deck but I couldnt see what you said because you deleted all former comments. What did you say?

September 7, 2014 11:45 p.m.

Somebody else commented on it not me lol sorry I figured it'd be easiest to just get rid of the comments as well as updating. I believe that you can click on the update and it will show you the older comments, though.

I know they are pricey, but the Dual Lands would be really good in here. A really sweet uber-tutor for this style deck would be Planar Portal it lets you grab any cards you want to put into play with Kaalia really easily. +1 Upvote

firstly, Rakdos the Defiler . sac half their lands/permanents but you dont. then block things with him.second, needs more haste. Hammer of Purphoros , Mass Hysteria , Fervor . also Stoneforge Mystic to tutor your boots. if you want unlimited attack steps get rid of Aurelia and do Sword of Feast and Famine with Aggravated Assault or that hellkite charger. Card draw so you don't run out of gas if you go off early. Dark Confidant or Dark Tutelage , Bloodgift Demon , Underworld Connections . Alternatively you can do Sensei's Divining Top , Necropotence but you skip your draw step. protect your general from deathtouch chumpers Dolmen Gate , Reconnaissance , Iroas, God of Victory , Maze of Ith . if you want more tips you can visit my deck.

I don't think this deck needs more haste because Kaalia gets them out for me. Also, Aurelia has won me more games than I can count, it's rare when I don't see her in a Kaalia deck. Rakdos the Defiler isn't worth it, you only get to swing with him once. I already have several tutors for any card. I also have Phyrexian Arena for card draw.

This deck is meant to win quickly, turn six or seven if I don't tutor for Master of Cruelties . I don't slowly set up, I just throw things down as fast as I can.

kinja says... #21

Kaalia getting out turn 3-4, if she does't get haste, your opponents get one whole rotation to answer her, and they will. my playgroup never lets me untap with her if they can. you have 2 cards with haste, and one takes an additional mana to equip. you won't get to attack when you drop her early because you will likely use mana to tutor for them. also, let me explain how these types of decks work. creatures are the easiest type to remove in magic. chances are your opponents have removal, and when they see your general they will keep mana up. artifacts being your only form of haste, they destroy it. now you get to wait one rotation. if your plan A doesn't work, you run out of gas and you'll be topdecking until you find phyrexian arena. rakdos the defiler has trample, if he gets 1 damage in the first time, they lose half their lands. if they swing in to you, block and any combat damage dealt to them means free annihilator triggers, which is a win con early or lategame.

Man that looks fun. :P Eiganjo Castle allowed to target your commander? Just too bad room and colors wouldnt allow for a few tutor spells for it.. Think the only transmute land is blue. xD Otherwise +1.

Ryotenchi says... #23

Also must say I like that Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Bladewing the Risen have a place in here.. The more I look at this deck to more amazing things I see happening.. o.o And I dont play EDH.

September 29, 2014 3:38 p.m.

Thanks lol that was the intention

Roccovsky says... #25

This looks really fun. Great theme.

Just in case it might save you an argument, I'll mention that when Kaalia of the Vast puts Aurelia, the Warleader into play, Aurelia is already attacking, so her ability doesn't trigger.

I love seeing Boil in here. It makes me happy.
