Hey guys so I've actually moved on from commander on to 60 card decks so I don't have any commander decks.
Anyway I've started my own gameplay channel in which I play games (Magic also)
While looking through your own I found cards I didn't see before, now just need to cut 40+ cards from my decklist.
The Timmy in me wants to keep all these giant creatures while the Spike in me just wants the bread and butter.

As for card selection, Edgewalker only affects your Commander, so that's largely a dead card.
Swords of X & Y and Whispersilk Cloak are expensive and likely unnecessary. I might understand pro-colors or shroud for protecting Kaalia, but at the same time, you're running Stax, which also cuts into your own mana. Perhaps something like 1-shot pro-color might serve better (Gods Willing)? Or maybe even Gift of Immortality or go with an Indestructable equipment like Darksteel Plate?
World At War is a very hit/miss win-more card. Post-wrath, it does nothing, or even wrathed inbetween casts. Kaalia drops should do enough without it.
I noticed you didn't have Quicksilver Amulet in the list, it functions about on par with Sneak Attack (get to keep your stuff) or Kaalia herself.
Push some of your lands back into the Basics. Non-Basic hate will end up burning you at some point. Blackcleave Cliffs are likely to come in tapped with most lists. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth doesn't seem to do much (save maybe ease of use with Kuro, Pitlord and Necropotence). Phyrexian Tower seems a bit small in utility as well.
Edgewalker seems decent to keep Kaalia low if she leaves play for whatever reason but does mostly seem like a dead card otherwise
I run the swords because of how light and shadow returns creatures to my hand for another Kaalia bash, and Fire/Ice is just real good.
Cloak makes me unblockable and gives shroud.
Do I need to make Kaalia indestructible? I'm more thinking she will get tucked rather than destroyed.
Urborg I like due to how it makes other lands tap for colors if needed and helps pay for necro if needed.

Sure it doesn't come down from Kaalia but late game it gets back three creatures at a time for kaalia to bash with.
