I tried it, but she just didn't do enough and Avacyn does it way better.

I just decided to run Hellcarver Demon in my deck.. seems stupid i know but my lord he can win games XD i sacked my land (no big for Kaalia) into a Boros Charm, Armageddon, Day of Judgment And then Sire Of Insanity

I ran him in one of the first iterations of this deck, but he never actually got me value. If your opponent has a turn to deal with the big dudes you get out of it, then you're screwed.

Yea i agree, he really isnt worth playing but he is just soooo much fun XDi like having a demon with amazing abilities that makes me work/suffer for having him lol..feels more demonic than the likes of Runescarred or what have you. How do you feel about Praetor's Grasp? I like being able to steal stuff from my opponents lol! Nearly everytime i go for their Sol Ring or Top

Well it's kinda fun but I already have a lot of three drops and it's a little slower than I would like.

Also Sol Ring and Top are both banned in Duel Commander.

Yea true lol...so why dont you drop the Sign in Blood for a Boros Charm.. Your draw doesn't seem to be lacking any..if not that then what about the Read the Bones

Because I like card draw better than indestructible

What exactly IS duel commander? What's the difference between duel commander and normal commander besides the banned list?

Duel commander is a variant on regular EDH. It's meant to be a competitive format, played as a 1v1, and you start at 30 life instead of 40. The ban list is different and there are no sideboards allowed in competitive events.

The biggest difference is the life and ban list.

Oh, thanks. +1

Also, what about Painful Truths over nights whisper or read the bones. Draw three is really good.

I'll have a go with that, kinda forgot it exists.

I'd use both Painful Truths and Read the Bones, because scry 2 is also quite good in a singleton format.

Hey! I am having terrible difficulty defeating a Brago player at my local card shop, my build is very similar to yours because it's based heavily on ideas you had. I can't seem to beat him no matter how hard i try, do you have any tips or ideas on what could bring him down?

Hi, sorry for the really late comment. I have a Roon of the Hidden Realm blink deck in my meta is an annoying thing to deal with. Torpor Orb, if you can get it out and it doesn't hurt you too much, works well. Lots of removal also helps, if you can get Brago off the board before he can do anything, that's good.

In terms of the Brago player messing with your plans - protection and haste work great to keep him from dealing with Kaalia. Stuff like Grand Abolisher/Cavern of Souls works to keep him from countering Kaalia. Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, and Fervor are good to get attacks in before he gets a chance to deal with Kaalia. This deck tends to be more active than reactive, so for me it's more about getting Kaalia down and swinging like a madman than it is to play the long game and keep him from wrecking you.

Mana rocks are also good for speeding your game up. Not sure if your build is regular or duel commander, but stuff like Mana Vault, Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Grim Monolith so on and so forth are the best for being able to hard cast your big guys.

Forgot to mention Nevermore as the ultimate "fuck you and your commander", but don't rely too much on this as Brago as a white commander will probably have enchantment removal. He'll also probably employ that against you after getting shut out a few times, so caution advised :)

Thanks so much for the comment! Torpor Orb and Nevermore might be what I have to add in to combat him..I have most of the other stuff you mentioned aside from boots. I run most of what you run with variations, but the only way i can seem to beat him is if I literally turn two Kaalia and not be countered lol

You can try politics - convince the other players that he's the threat.

It's 1v1, we hold 1v1 tournaments but they play multiplayer rules..they wont allow french because they are scared it will be too broken -.-

Oooooh loooord these new spoilers! Wanna hear your input as soon as you can XD im psyched

I didn't see any creatures I liked, but I loveeeeee Anguished Unmaking. So ready to replace Utter End. I also like the card that exiles a creature for 1W and they investigate. We'll just have to see.

The angel that exiles one each time it hits was almost phenomenal, but i agree. I love Nahiri , being able to search and get cards that Kaalia would have to wait another turn before getting a full effect from. Tutor for Aurelia, swing swing, put her in my hand..or better yet tutor for Rune-Scarred..then tutor for another before I even swing with Kaalia. The unmaking will most definitely be making it into my deck

Idk about the Angel. I'll probably try it but I don't like the 8cmc for only a 6/6. I'm also not sure how easily I'll be able to get 4 card types in the graveyard. Nahiri is cool but I'm not sure she's fast enough for Kaalia, especially a duel commander deck.

Yea, my formats not french so maybe itll work out for me..BUT THAT NEW ODRIC THOUGH..HE IS CRAZY GOOD! How about you not touch mw during combat ok? Greaaaat XD i can see him literally ending out opponents

He doesn't have any evasion though, that's the issue. He's also four mana, which is a highly contested spot in my deck.
