Edited for post tournament changes. Got a lot of new stuff added, and removed the sideboard entirely. Running a lot smoother with more consistancy. Original build pulled 5th place at local tourney. After tourney, a few games pulled in pod sweeps. Still waiting for Iona, Shield of Emeria to come in, will most likely pull Stormbreath Dragon or Baneslayer Angel for her.
And simply the the mana base some, you didn't put in a basic count, but I'd love to drop a Back to Basics on you... Totally ruin your day. (Ruination is a thing too.)
You certainly have a good start, but as with most things, there is room for improvement. Drop by my Primer on this cery commander (link in sig) as that will undoubtedly have more information for you to take in and make this deck into the monstrosity it can really be.
thanks for the link to your primer, I really appreciate it. Still looking to see if anyone thinks I need any further improvement. Out of a 9 man tourney, I took 5th prior to the changes. It should be a lot faster and stronger with current additions.

Edited for post tournament changes. Got a lot of new stuff added, and removed the sideboard entirely. Running a lot smoother with more consistancy. Original build pulled 5th place at local tourney. After tourney, a few games pulled in pod sweeps. Still waiting for Iona, Shield of Emeria to come in, will most likely pull Stormbreath Dragon or Baneslayer Angel for her.
Also, I now run a few basic land in the deck even though Kaalia makes the deck not need much land, once she's out, I proved you don't need mana. I pulled a turn 4 Kaalia of the Vast into a Rakdos the Defiler costing my opponent half his field (4 land and 2 artifacts), then turn 5 attacked with Kaalia of the Vast and Rakdos the Defiler dropping Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, causing me to have to sack all my lands but my opponent had Beast within, which saved him a turn, only to die next turn to my Gisela, Blade of Goldnight. Only mana spent was for Kaalia of the Vast and Blind Obedience. And with current additions of the Signets, I should be able to fire off starting turn 2 or 3 with the right starting hand (any of Boros Signet, Orzhov Signet, Rakdos Signet and opposing Blood Crypt, Godless Shrine, Sacred Foundry combo'd with Sol Ring makes for a turn 2 Kaalia, and attacking on turn 3) .
All of your "non-Kaalia" targets are underwhelming, save maybe the Archetype of Courage.
Elbrus, the Binding Blade, Hammer of Purphoros, and Spear of Heliod can go. (Elbrus is only good if you can manage to connect, and most aren't likely to let him stay for long)
Duress, Crucible of Fire, Fervor, Honor of the Pure, Gleam of Battle... All lacking.
And simply the the mana base some, you didn't put in a basic count, but I'd love to drop a Back to Basics on you... Totally ruin your day. (Ruination is a thing too.)
