Kjacobson6800 on Kaalia, Queen of the Vast

2 weeks ago

Cool Build. I have a pretty mean Kaalia myself but its rather competitive. Yours looks fun to play I just tested it a few times. Love the Sneak Attack as a backup. Feel free to take a look at mine if you'd like. My only real suggestions after seeing your maybe list is to tune the creatures a bit more and sell that Alpha/Beta D-Tutor ... buy a Chrome Mox. Would leave you with a few $$ to really deck this thing out. Id also be running all 3 Talismans. A revised Demonic tutor is Rather affordable. I run Gamble Demonic Tutor, Enlightened TutorGC, Vampiric TutorGC, Grim Tutor, And Imperial SealGC. More tutors and maybe Steelshaper's Gift to get the Greaves out fast. Diabolic Tutor works just fine to go get an Avacyn or something and get the whole table salty Lotus Petal is clutch too and chronically slept on IMO, especially when it comes to Kaalia... Im pretty sure Jeweled Lotus is banned in EDH now so maybe let that one go too. Necropotence is stupid good in a Kaalia deck, especially if you can get a Reliquary Tower out. As soon as i focused more on tutors, mana rocks, and a few board-wipes Wrath of God Day of Judgment Damn She started going off quick and dirty.Sensei's Divining Top is super helpful too. I wouldn't sleep on Dark Ritual if you're short a Jeska's WillGC. I slip a Dark Rit in mine from time to time depending on where I'm playing. I also run Armageddon and Catastrophe. Sometimes Winter Orb ...locks everyone down once I have Her out. I Cant tell you how many times Steel Hellkite has won the game for me. Blows up all dorks and keeps opponents rocks at bay. Plus you can grab him with Enlightened tutor. Dragon Mage could work in this to help load up youre Kaalia drops without needing a Wheel of Fortune Solid build!! Ive been tuning mine for years now.

Shrieking Affliction is unnecessary with Urza's Saga (got up to the full 4). Anguished Unmaking is probably better in the side. Also, needs cheap removal like Fatal Push, maybe even Solitude. Damn is a nice touch, I'd add a second to the main or board. Flagstones of Trokair + Smallpox + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is a major draw to Orzhov Pox, that you're already like 60% there on.

Some thoughts:

• As already mentioned, both Teferi's Protection and Thriving Moor are not modern legal.

• Also as already mentioned, you always want your deck to be at 60 cards - anything above this is a concession of both power and reliability. The first thing you should be doing is ditching 19 cards to get back to 60.

• your deck is running a LOT of really suboptimal versions of cards. Specifically, i’d be expecting countermagic like Counterspell, No More Lies, and Spell Pierce. And interaction like Prismatic Ending, Fatal Push, and Leyline Binding. And, board-wipes like Supreme Verdict or Damn.

• some of these cards seem more “cute” than “useful”. Specifically looking at Smothering Tithe, Palantir of Orthanc, and Approach of the Second Sun.

• the landbase needs a lot of work, soecifically fetchlands and shocklands (allied fetchlands are getting reprinted in mh3 this year so should get a lot cheaper when that happens).

Damn is solid removal here.

Shadrix Silverquill is an excellent source of go-wide +1+1 counters.

Reconnaissance is great in any deck where you turn stuff sideways. This card has a few hidden tricks up it's sleeve and feels almost like cheating if you know what you're doing with it (look at my Edgar Markov deck description if you aren't familiar).

Inkshield feels like low hanging fruit, but it makes Inklings.

Stroke of Midnight/Generous Gift if you find you need more versatile removal.

raspberryfish25 on The Kaalia Battalia

1 year ago

Hey, I really enjoy your Kaalia deck but, one thing I noticed, you don’t have a lot of ways to protect Kaalia while she is on the board. A few cards I run in my personal Kaalia deck to help with this are: Galadriel's Dismissal, Teferi's Protection, Mithril Coat, Sephara, Sky's Blade, Earnest Fellowship, Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip and, Sejiri Shelter  ^Flip.

Both Teferi’s Protection and Gladriel’s Dismissal basically do the same job of not just protecting Kaalia but your entire board from spot removal and mass removal. Gladriel’s Dismissal also has the two added bonuses of in a pinch just being able to protect Kaalia or using it on your opponent to remove all their blockers for a turn. Mithril Coat is more niche but, has protected Kaalia a few times from targeted removal spells. What I like about the coat is I can play it at instant speed so I can possibly bait an opponent into waisting one of their removal spells on Kaalia. Sephara, Sky’s Blade is a slightly worse Avacyn, Angel of Hope which you are already running. Earnest Fellowship is a card I find a lot of people sleep on. At first glance the enchantment does not look like it would do that much but with it out you’re giving Kaalia protection from the three most prominent removal colors. I have had this card in my Kaalia deck for years and I have lost count how many times an opponent has went to cast a removal spell on Kaalia only to realize that they can’t because Kaalia has protection from it. Lastly, both MDFCs should almost be an auto include because they only things they are replacing is a basic plains and swamp.

I see you run a lot more spot removal then I personally do in my Kaalia deck which is not a bad thing I have just found it is not as necessary. Instead, I focus more on mass removal because, I have found in most games getting rid of one or two cards on the battlefield does not help me when I am behind. However, resetting the board when the table has shut me down helps me out immensely allowing me to claw back into the game.

A few mass removal cards I would consider are Damn, Farewell, Crux of Fate, and Scourge of Kher Ridges. Damn is just an upgraded version of Damnation because it has the flexibility to be spot removal or mass removal. Farewell is arguably the best removal spell in the format because outside of Planeswalkers it can deal with anything making it so versatile plus as an added bonus it exiles instead of destroys. Crux of Fate is unique because your deck is already running a ton of dragons so why not possibly save your board of dragons while you clear everything else out of your way? Speaking of dragons, I stumbled upon Scourge of Kher Ridges awhile back and man has this card impressed me so much. You cheat it into play with Kaalia then for {1}{R} you get to do 2 damage to all creatures without flying! Best thing is you can activate the ability as soon as Scourge hits the table. As long as Scourge is out you are able to shut down all non-flying creatures. Plus 99% of the creatures in your deck have flying so you don’t have to worry about any of your creatures taking damage.

Sorry if this was a longer than normal post. Overall, I really like the direction you took your Kaalia deck.

Would Damn be worthwhile without the white? Unconditional 2-mana removal seems pretty good (and the art is sick).
