DrunkManSquakin666 on Kaalia, Raining Death from Above

Personally, I prefer run Vindicate instead of Mortify . Sorcery speed is a fine price to pay for a three-drop that can kill literally anything. You never know when you might need to take out a Coffers or a Cradle.

I'd also recommend Thundermaw Hellkite and Subjugator Angel as ambush cards to kill someone with blockers out of the blue, as well as Angel of Despair for better spot removal (same reason as Vindicate).

Also, if you're running Sunforger , I'd go with Tithe if you can afford it and a Mistveil Plains to give the other players a hard time. SOmething to look into for that Sunforger package, especially if you go that route, would be Rakdos Charm for repeatable grave hate and Bathe in Light as a similar ambush card to Thundermaw and Subjugator.

Nice deck, though. =3

DrunkManSquakin666, Yeah that's probably a good call. I have never really given Angel of Despair a fair go, I've actually had it in the deck before and have removed it for other angels simply because they were foil or whatever, but now that you mention it, having a simple angel like Serra Angel with basic abilities is pretty lackluster. I'll dig er up and swap it in. However, I have been playing loads of COCO Angels on Arena Historic and have been wanting to purchase Youthful Valkyrie and Righteous Valkyrie for this deck. So now I have to sort out a couple more slots. Any cuts you might make? I Would appreciate any suggestions. ThankS

This deck looks like it's want more ETBs. Surprised by Angel of Despair being so conspicuously absent. O.o I'd also recommend Angel of Finality for grave hate.

Looking for suggestions, eh?

My best advice would be to try and get as much bang for your buck as possible, using cards that do more for less mana, and to keep that mana curve as low to the ground as possible. One of the biggest criticisms I have for other Kaalia decks is that their mana curves are too crazy, leaving them far too reliant on her.

That's not something you wanna do. She is your friend, but letting her become your crutch is asking for people to target her... and when you can't play her, you can't play your deck when you rely too much on her.

Obviously, the first thing you're gonna want is better dragons. I'd recommend Thundermaw Hellkite at the very least, to keep blockers outta your way. Angel of Serenity , Subjugator Angel , and Angel of Despair serve a similar purpose in my deck. Emancipation Angel also bounces them to be used again.

I also like having a sac outlet and Reya Dawnbringer , which goes quite well with cards who have ETBs. Alternatively, Phyrexian Reclamation can bring them back to hand to play again with her effect, which is quite nasty with Rakdos the Defiler and Master of Cruelties if you don't mind being mean, lol. Another card I like using specifically with those two is Oni of Wild Places , whom Thundermaw Hellkite and Kaalia, Zenith Seeker also like very much. XD

Never hurts to have more sweepers and spot removal as well... and redundancy when possible.

My deck's right here Hardcore Heavenly Inferno if you wanna take a look. Hope that helps. :)

Charcoal Diamond Marble Diamond Orzhov Signet are solid relatively cheap (both budget and rocks for your ramping woes.

Talisman of Hierarchy is also fairly budget friendly

Other ramp/ramp adjacent options that aren't necessarily to theme but are in your colours. Pitiless Plunderer, Revel in Riches, Knight of the White Orchid, Kor Cartographer or Crypt Ghast

And just becos it's a card I like that's an angel, Angel of Despair is (albeit very expensive) flexible removal on a body.
