I haven't played mtg in a couple years and got the itch to put together a new commander deck as it was always my favorite format and this is what I've come up with: an aggro Kaalia Angel, Demons, and Dragon deck.

The goal is to get Kaalia out turn 3-4 (ideally with haste through [Generator Servant], [Hall of the Bandit Lord], or [Dragon Tempest]) and get her some kind of protection ([Champion's Helm], [Lightning Greaves], [Swiftfoot Boots]) ASAP if she resolves. Then drop the boys and go big.

The maybeboard is just full of cards that I imagine could be swapped in to improve on various aspects depending on how well/poorly it plays.

Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

Update: I've made some recent additions after getting to play this against some mid-range combo decks and realized some glaring weaknesses, mostly in it's speed/ramp department. I've addressed those with better mana artifacts. I removed some other gimmicky things for more consistency and a combo of my own (Worldgorger, since he matches the theme and reanimation is good with these big creatures anyway).

I'm currently retooling this deck to have more deck-digging capability through red discard/draw spells and taking advantage of the discards by including more reanimation. Cards in the sideboard are cards that I think I want to work in, but I haven't figured out what to swap yet.
