Hi Knixx,

It fairs very well. It depends on your goal, if you just looking to win, consistently definitely go with a Thrasios, Triton Hero or a Kess, Dissident Mage. For myself, I want to win, but want to enjoy doing it. It doesn't have the card advantage of or enough tutor/counter interactions to be as consistent as several of the Competitive+ commanders, but feel Kaalia of the Vast falls in that.

Generally cEDH theory with Kaalia of the Vast is to abandon the damage line, you can see some recommended changes under Maybeboard Sushi. I haven't found that it significantly improves my win ratio, but it may be the way to go.

I have Turn 1-Turn 3 win potentials, and have a Turn 4.x average win. I do find, I'm almost exclusively combo wins now, <20% of wins involve combat damage.

So in short, yes this deck and Kaalia of the Vast can be competitive, not on a level consistent with some others. Abandoning combat damage is key to having success, you'll see I've pretty much abandoned but can still be pushed a little further. Funnest commander, maybe Animar, Soul of Elements, so for me, competitive and entertaining.

SynergyBuild,

Used your suggestion (Felidar Guardian + Restoration Angel) but instead of Healer of the Pride went with The Great Henge. I'm not sure what it is I'm drawing into yet (mana and infect maybe, or infinite damage combo that is cmc9 wtf). Thinking of adding Aluren and Whitemane Lion which also work with The Great Henge. Wish Oketra's Monument was haste not vigilance, but no way to tutor artifacts so better to find enchantments or creatures that this works with.
