About this deck
After having Kaalia as an EDH commander for a wile, I have became the number one target in my play group. It has gotten to the point that I loose so fast that I spend haft the night waiting for them to finish so I can play again. So I have decided to take this deck in a completely new direction. My group of friends don't handle control deck very well, so focusing my deck on that aspect was a no brainier.
I agree with blackjack about using powerful enchantments, if you try to control what creatures they have out with instants and sorceries then people aren't really going to target you as much because you're just reacting instead of making moves, the witchbane orb and the imperial mask help against people targeting you as well, constant removal helps you hold off till you get the right set up you need

How the deck work?
Kaalia Control is based of a Basandra, Battle Seraph control deck I saw played once. It uses cards like: Winter Orb, Norn's Annex, War's Toll, Ghostly Prison, and Leonin Arbiter to prevent people from attacking you while you set up for the kill.
Please give me some feedback or any suggestions you think I should make.

Rattlesnakes and taxing players only targeting you, like Ghostly Prison (rather than global effects), tend to draw a lot less hate.
