For some reason, Zinnia's battle music from Pokemon ORAS gets stuck in my head whenever I test against this deck. Just thought I should let you know.

In a desperate attempt to find a reason to start commenting again, might I suggest Dark Tutelage or similar effects? Maybe Coercive Portal?

Portal is kinda slow: four mana to draw one card every turn? Idk what I'd replace with it.

I wish I could run Dark Confidant effects but I think it's just too much life and the risk of flipping an Avacyn or Griselbrand or Iona is too high to be worth the life lost.

How are you feeling about the new spoils? Really disappointed with this set so far to be honest, Brisela is cool but will likely never see play and is slow as all hell. Gisela herself may see some play for me though how about you? Kind of a less impressive Baneslayer angel to me lol. Btw I finally picked up a Gamble and i've enjoyed playing it so far, hasn't really bitten me in the ass yet.

I agree, this set has been super disappointing for Kaalia so far. The only card that maaaaybe I'd consider is Collective Brutality, but no angels, dragons or interesting demons. I wish they'd put more effort into Brisela. It seems poorly designed in my opinion and I'm not fond of the meld mechanic.

I should get a Gamble, I'm just too lazy and I'm working on a different deck lol

Why not Vampiric Tutor?

MeMinusMyself banned in Duel Commander :(

ThisIsBullshit welp. I'm going to have to take that out of Korlash; TappedOut doesn't list it as banned so I thought it was okay

I personally like Subjugator Angel from the new set. Seems like a second Thundermaw Hellkite that's not as good to hard cast. Would be cool with Quicksilver Amulet on an opponent's upkeep. I have a slower version of Kaalia that Sorin, Grim Nemesis is doing lots of work in.

Does this take into account the change to 20 starting life?

April 24, 2017 4:33 p.m.

I haven't updated it to reflect the new rules. However, I doubt that I would change much.

How does Glorybringer work with Kaalia's ability?

June 26, 2017 3:46 p.m.

I don't think it works, because you declare attackers and then specify which ones are exerted. That phase has already passed when I put in a creature with Kaalia, so he doesn't work.

June 26, 2017 5:47 p.m.

Yeah, that makes sense. on the topic of Amonkhet cards, does Angel of Sanctions make it in?

June 27, 2017 10:57 a.m.

I dont know what you'd cut though

June 27, 2017 10:57 a.m.

Nah, I don't think it does. That black demon from HOU though....mmmmm baby

June 27, 2017 11:04 a.m.

Oh yeah, Raspberries. I can't remember his name off the top of my head but thats what everyone on tumblr is calling him

Also apparently your deck is illegal according to the display thing? You assuredly know more about duel commander than I do but I figured I should still let you know

July 3, 2017 12:10 a.m.

Razaketh, the Foulblooded.

And yeah it's showing up as illegal because Tappedout is dumb. Anything past SOI shows up illegal for no reason.

July 3, 2017 12:15 a.m.

I guess the cards aren't in the database yet?

July 3, 2017 12:22 a.m.

Nah, they're definitely in the database I just don't know why they're not marked as legal for Duel Commander.

Uau, a duel commander deck, that's nice! I posted a Radha duel a long time ago but the duel community here is small. :(

One question: Why not use more turn 2 ramps for faster kaalia?

I had always figgured out that the deck explosion consisted in turn 2 ramp turn 3 kaalia turn 4 attack demon BOOOM!!!!

I finally afford to buy a kaalia here in my country, i'm anxious to build my own deck!!!

January 25, 2018 12:07 p.m.

Cute work, but if I'm not mistaken, Griselbrand is banned from this format

Really cool, but your curve seems high and by testing a few opening hands I was swarmed with high cmc cards. I don't mean this as an offense, cause I'd really like to build something similar. I just can't help wondering how this deck would perform lets say against Kess, a deck packed with efficient answers.
