Kaalia, Zenith Seeker fills your hand with needed whompers, get fast rocks down to cast them early and often. Cheat creatures in from hand or graveyard when able. No control.

  1. Play rocks.
  2. Wipe if able.
  3. Angel / Demon / Dragon.

Old school essence.

No real primer needed. Only real play tips needed for this deck to be piloted optimally is to time things right. Turns 1-3, just get rocks down.. don't rush a threat before board wiping if you have that as an option. Follow a wipe up with your first big creature. Only cast Kaalia, Zenith Seeker when you need to refill your hand. Don't rush her out.

You will notice the inclusion of Ephemerate. This is ONLY because it's a 1cmc blink Instant that will repeat itself, so it doesn't slow down your creature drops. You can use it to refill hand again with Kaalia, Zenith Seeker, or to rescue a big threat of your own from being removed. Added bonus if it has a nice ETB.

That's really about it. I see a a few others using Mana Crypt and Grim Monolith in Kaalia, Zenith Seeker builds, and while I'm a HUGE fan of both cards, I don't want to ramp to one big threat. I want to keep dropping them like bomb after bomb. I don't want to miss a creature drop to untap a monolith, and there's no slots in this build for untap shenanigans to be cheaty with them. So I chose to go with reliable rocks that untap as normal. I'd suggest doing the same. If it were a rush to your commander, I'd go with those 2 cards, but as stated earlier, Kaalia, Zenith Seeker is only used to refill our hand. There's 30+ creatures that work with her ability. The deck is tuned to do that one thing really well.

Upgrades:

  • Cavern of Souls (use this to name whatever creatures you draw into the most in that particular game, since you can't name all 3 types)

  • Terror of Mount Velus (just an optional swap for Utvara Hellkite or another dragon. i like this new card a lot, but won't include it just yet)

NOTE: I will update this deck soon with my full maybe board. The cool thing is that there are so many good Angels, Demons, and Dragons, especially considering we don't care too much about casting cost.
