Cheap cards for Kaalia
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on July 12, 2023, 11:37 a.m. by Cheesus2112
Hi folks,
I pulled a Kaalia of the Vast in a double masters draft and am now looking to make an EDH deck with it. The only thing is, I'm definitely on a budget and a lot of the cards I am seeing that synergize best with her are hella expensive.
Does anyone have any recommendations on cheaper cards to throw in this deck? Over time I'll probably replace things and invest in some better cards, I am just looking for a stating point.
Thanks!

I generally don’t watch any of the angel cards, because they don’t usually fit any of my themes, but when it comes to demons there are a lot of “bad” cards like Indulgent Tormentor that get effectively zero play because they’re maybe a little weaker because of differing/lackluster CMC or P/T situations. I would strongly recommend looking at a lot of those “bad” cards, specifically this tormentor as it can help keep your hand full.

Steel Hellkite, Karmic Guide & Drana and Linvala are good places to start.
Other options like Rune-Scarred Demon, Burning-Rune Demon & Vilis, Broker of Blood are a few bucks each, but worth it.
Cheers!

Since you mentioned you're pretty on a budget, most of these (at least according to my knowledge) are at or under a dollar.
For some cheap angels- Angel of Finality, Resplendent Marshal, Angel of the Ruins, and Angel of Serenity.
For some cheap dragons- Drakuseth, Maw of Flames, Terror of Mount Velus, Piru, the Volatile, and Glorybringer.
For demons- Infernal Sovereign, Dreadfeast Demon, Overseer of the Damned, Nightmare Shepherd, Abhorrent Overlord, and Indulgent Tormentor.

Play cards that double her effects. Double ETB triggers, bounce creatures repeatedly, double combat triggers, and then play a bunch of angels demons and dragons with ETBs.

Hi,
Playing Kaalia can become very expensive very quickly, I try and make the best of her ability with cheap but high drop like Aegis Angel , Tariel, Reckoner of Souls, Starnheim Aspirant.
even if it isn't optimal, mine run mostly as an angel tribal, feel free to take a look if it can be of any help Kaalia of the poor
