In terms of improvements, there are some small things like the ramp package that could be better optimized. I play this deck more for funzies rather than to be competitive. A few pricy cards like Berserk could be added.

It's close to as powerful as it can be, for what it is. In order to make the deck a lot more powerful, you'd need to add more tutors and make it based on combo or Sneak Attack, but I don't find that as fun.

+1 for the absolutely brilliant name!

I built Kaalia of the Vast a couple years ago and slowly started foiling her out over that time. It has been a long time coming, but I finally got her there!

Absolutely love running her as she encompasses the theme of the first starter deck I ever bought a long time ago - "Blood and Fire" - as well as the creature types I enjoy the most in MTG - Angels & Demons (in particular).

I appreciate both you and Profet93's advice on this list for sure, and did cut a couple creatures in favor of Sneak Attack and Chance for Glory as those definitely seem like game changers and/or enders, so thanks to you two for the valuable feedback. I was running a couple pieces of MLD a while ago, but realized it often didn't seem feasible given scenarios I was actually experiencing in-game. I know Profet93 wasn't too keen on Terror of the Peaks, but it's 5 CMC makes it easy to cast and presents the opportunity to deal further damage when another big creatures enters from Kaalia of the Vast's triggered ability.

I personally don't care for Dragon Mage as it can just as easily benefit my opponent(s), but Heartwarming Redemption is tempting...

Thoughts on Full Throttle?

The OG commanders were the best. Kaalia is still one of my favorite decks to pilot. Perfectly captures the Mardu spirit. How long did it take you to foil this bad girl? I will make sure all my suggestions have foil options.

You can definitely afford to trim a few creatures. Profet93 provided a profitable list of potential cuts for things like

Big card draw like Heartwarming Redemption or Dragon Mage

Extra combat steps like Chance for Glory or Breath of Fury

Or maybe Kaalia #2 in Sneak Attack

Kaalia will always be one of my favorite commanders. That first batch of commander decks were special.

This is a really neat shell. I like your use of niche white control spells like Abeyance and Orim's Chant. Would something like Conqueror's Flail be useful here?

I really like your use of Necrodominance and Necropotence. Is this speeding up your wins?

A playset of cards from my list that I think would be excellent here:

Eiganjo Castle kaalia protection

Arena of Glory best haste enabler

Chance for Glory wins games

Cataclysm the math is on your side

Sneak Attack kaalia #2

Cut all the creatures that don't fit the tribes. Keep Mother of Runes. The rest are just good stuff.

WOW that Kobold is bonkers, I see why it inspired you to make this deck. It's kinda like Sneak Attack but better. Maybe still worth considering that as a backup strategy though, since no swing is necessary.

Drakuseth, Maw of Flames is an insanely strong Red Dragon to consider, cheat that out with Haste and watch them all burn.

1. Instead of Palladia-Mors, play Symbiotic Wurm. It will leave 7 creatures behind after dying, allowing them to finish the job.
2. Playing only 2 Sneak Attack is a huge mistake. Your deck does pretty much nothing without it. Play 4.
3. Undiscovered Paradise works with Winter Orb. As for the orb, play 1 if you must as a tutor target. But it's situational.
4. Since you are already playing Draco, you could add Insidious Dreams and 1 Erratic Explosion. However, that will only deal 16 damage, so unless you add some other burn, it will be useless.

I really like this! Seems really powerful but Winter Orb just feels out of place in my opinion; why not just a full playset of Sneak Attack? maybe something like Miscalculation to flex as either interaction or just help dig for combo to win?
