My personal Kaalia deck that I am currently running. This will be updated as my personal deck is updated. I've been playing Kaalia for about 5 years as my sole commander deck. I've now started building other decks, as my Kaalia deck is duel focused, and tends to receive more flak than it can handle in multiplayer games, as it is not defense oriented, but rather built on maintaining a strong offense. Flicker spells and equipment cards are mainly for buffing Kaalia and making her more difficult to remove from the game, ramping cards to build into casting her as quick as possible, and then tutors to find either responses or the deck's win conditions. As for win conditions, there are two ten drop win conditions (Kiki-Jiki/Resto Angel, and Exquisite Blood/Sanguine Bond). Neither is perfect, but there is always Skytherix and Breath of Fury, which with an extra flyer and no flying defender's on the opponent's side, makes for a powerful combination as well.

5 years ago, the deck started only with some budget dual lands, and a lot of inexpensive (price-wise) angels, demons and dragons. Over time, the strategy has not changed as far as getting strong creatures with flying onto the field being the go to strategy, but has adopted other win conditions, and more resiliency for the commander, as many games played became many games lost. Getting Kaalia out was too expensive after she got killed so often. I've also been trying to lower the overall mana curve, as many games require me to hardcast my spells.

Currently working on getting more multicolor lands in this deck, to fix some of its curve issues, and to implement more mana ramp. This deck is going to still be duel oriented with a focus on offensive plays, at least for the foreseeable future. Kaalia seems very much geared towards that style of play.
