Kaalia of the Tutor (Casual, Old List)

Commander / EDH Angels Demons Dragons RBW (Mardu) Reanimator

CrystalQuarry


This is probably my second favorite EDH deck after my Sisay deck. The deck is not constructed for super competitive 1v1, instead it is intended for larger, drawn-out games. That said, the deck is still fully capable of pulling off quick wins, if desired, with cards like Master of Cruelties.

One line of play the deck can do is go for reanimation with the numerous tutor effects, Entomb using spells like Reanimate, Animate Dead, and Living Death to bring them into play.

Another thing it can do is tutor for threats or defensive spells with the various transmute cards I added to the deck like Shred Memory, Brainspoil, and Netherborn Phalanx. These let me find anything in the deck with converted mana costs 2, 5, and 6, which hits quite a number of cards and does allow the deck to respond to evolving conditions in a large game.

Defensively, there are a number of wrath effects and spot removal spells. Many of these can be retrieved with Sunforger, which is a good way to respond to sudden threats.

I'm interested in finding more ways to keep cards flowing in this deck (things along the lines of Phyrexian Arena, Dragon Mage, and Bloodgift Demon). Also, there may be some newer Angels, Demons, or Dragons that I'm not aware of that should really be in here.

In terms of lands, I think the mana base is pretty solid and I can generally avoid being short on any particular color. I could be running every fetchland except Misty Rainforest, but I think five fetches is sufficient (including the 3 that pair within Mardu colors). The bounce lands have frequently been such targets for land destruction that I've been considering cutting them from my decks. I may add more fetches to replace them, or just other generally useful lands (suggestions welcome!).

Hope you enjoy!
