Do you like making alternatives for Kaalia that don’t get strung up by a lack of color spread? Then this deck is for you!

Make sure you have your haste modifers out, then cast Pumba and start dropping big baddies, primarily dragons and eldrazi. Your dragons will hit over anything, slinging damage all the while, and your eldrazi will destroy one or more threats a turn, cuz Annihilator is fucking broken. Hitting for 7-10 damage a turn, not including Pumba or extra combats, the games will run down pretty quick. Balefire Dragon just attracts forfeits, while Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth cycle your graveyard and minimize the damage of discarding to draw. Don't forget that cards like Glorious End and Sundial of the Infinite take Pumba's static ability off the stack, allowing you to retain creatures that would otherwise be returned to your hand. Be judicious about this though; if you think an important creature might be eliminated, your hand might be a safe place for it.

Bear in mind that once Pumba goes off, he is an enormous threat, and your table will recognize this. Additionally, between elimination and the mana restrictions of red, keeping him in play will be difficult. Concentrated artifact ramp is key to maintaining his presence. It's all in or nothing with Pumba. Pay life, permanents, your hand, pull out any stop to keep him charging. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed with the progress he fails to make due to vulnerability.
