Cards that can work in a Khallia of the Vast deck

Commander Deck Help forum

Hi! I've been thinking of making a Khaalia of the Vast commander deck, but don't know much about demons or angels. I'm pretty sure I'll use Tariel, Reckoner of Souls and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight in it, but don't know what else is good. Thanks for any suggestions and/or feedback!

You can use Iona shield of Emeria, she gains alot of hate as soon as she hits the table. I will suggest you run a leyline of sanctity as well khal is a card that gets targeted easily, putting you on the chopping block.

Kaalia staple a/d/d (not budget):
Kokusho, the Evening Star | Iona, Shield of Emeria
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight | Aurelia, the Warleader
Avacyn, Angel of Hope | Master of Cruelties
Balefire Dragon | Utvara Hellkite
Bogardan Hellkite (not a popular choice for some, but will win the game too easily) | Angel of Serenity

The things to look for in angel/demon/dragon to cheat in are: do they win the game in 1-2 turns if not interacted with AND/OR do they stop the opponent from interacting with you AND/OR do they f*ck around with your opponent to the point where they cannot cast creatures without it dying.

I flat out refuse to assist anyone in building with this commander.

I will also make it my mission to take the Kaalia player out before that first oppressive angel (Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Iona, Shield of Emeria) or dirty damn demon (Master of Cruelties, Archfiend of Depravity, Rune-Scarred Demon, Reiver Demon (with Avacyn out first, obviously), Sire Of Insanity, Etc..) or disgusting dragon (Steel Hellkite, Utvara Hellkite, Moonveil Dragon, Etc..)

I hate you for even contemplating building this bullshit deck...

Mirrorwing Dragon could be a solid pick... Could make your commander less susceptible to mass removal... and any deck with Dragons needs Shivan Dragon... ;-)

Lord of the Void is legit. So is Steel Hellkite.
