EquivocalVision - Thanks for the compliments! Definitely still a work in progress if you read the notes/updates but it is getting there! It would be so easy to make so MANY Kaalia decks as there are so many good angels, demons, and dragons but so far I am loving the dragon synergy. I really want to get Ancient Gold Dragon added for combos off Terror of the Peaks, Dragon Tempest, or Scourge of Valkas as rolling a ten with no damage modifiers out or no other dragons in play equates to 66 damage :)

I had never seen Zirilan of the Claw...interesting card. You are also not the first to mention Quicksilver Amulet so I really need to add that to the Maybe Board to experiment with. You are right about if people instantly kill Kaalia of the Vast the deck is pretty slow but that is where all those treasure producing enchantments should come in handy! Kaalia speeds up the deck significantly but without her it still does pick up stream, and makes me significantly less of a target until I am a target :)

Personally, I feel like using cards like Sneak Attack to cheat creatures out only to have them possible exiled would do the deck as it is currently built a disservice but that is a unique twist this deck could take with the Flickering. has plenty of cards that you could add in to support that strategy to make it viable and there are enough demons, angels, and dragon with ETBs effects that could be used to punish, tutor, or protect as needed. I mean, could you imagine flickering Dockside Extortionist for 2x treasure production! I may take a stab at this idea in the future as I have never looked into a deck like that but it has potential...

I did take a look at your deck...Blast-Furnace Hellkite looks very similar to Sylvia Brightspear except it is a dragon...I like this! Lots of other angels and demons I had not seen before or would like to add to my deck but room is scarce.

Thanks again for the upvote and your thoughts, I appreciate it!

TheMeadiator - This looks very fun! A Landfall deck that is built not around overwhelming opponents but sacrificing to deal direct damage...unique take!

I had never seen Canopy Cover before...that is nice for decks as not much outside of Blue grants Flying.

Some suggestions is dropping Utopia Sprawl for more traditional land ramp like Nature's Lore. Great card but I found it to be sub-par in Commander but in say Modern, Utopia Sprawl is great! Sight of the Scalelords is easily outclassed by Unnatural Growth, same goes for Vessel of Volatility against some of the spells that do the same thing that are not artifacts as those can be destroyed. Font of Fertility also seems a little lackluster and could be replaced for something similar but better. Lastly, I love Kessig Wolf Run for its ability to double down and really do some damage, might be a good replacement for Skarrg, the Rage Pits.

TheMeadiator - Thanks for the thoughts! So easy to go "nose blind" to your own decks so having some outside eyes is always so great to get needed feedback. I do enjoy the treasure theme but it is definitely not as efficient as it could be with Kaalia at the helm. She has a great ability but it is pretty hit or miss with the treasure product meaning some games I barely make any and others I drown in it with so many produced via Ancient Copper Dragon or a well placed Blood Money.

Hmmm...I had not thought about Quicksilver Amulet for this deck...that is a pretty good idea though and has merit...I will have to think about that but I do love the Ixalan set so good choice :)

Most games, I feel like the deck does not struggle to much in getting four lands to get out Kaalia by turn 4 and that is always the goal to get her out quick and have her swing often and early. I would say like 80% of the games that occurs seamlessly and of that other 20%, usually some early treasure production can help "fix" my mana issue to get Kaalia out like 50% of the time. So pretty consistent.

This is definitely my take at a Kaalia deck and I actually built it around Revel in Riches as I thought that was such a funny win combo that is pretty easy to achieve with the right circumstances. Plus with all the tutors, you can find thing like that pretty easy when desired :)

TheMeadiator - Thanks for the upvote!

--------------------- - Thanks for another upvote! Greatly appreciate it! This deck I have mixed feels about compared to Gishath Spared No Expense!!!. I played it last night at FNM and things went great but the previous showing things were the completely opposite where the deck really struggled to get off the ground...I need to increase the consistency of the deck but otherwise, it is slowly being improved as I get playtest feedback :)
