i have been playing Kaalia as one of my commanders for some time now. i got out of magic for some time and im getting back into just playing edh. so i was wanting a little help with my deck and what i could cut to try to add the cards in im looking at or if theyre even good cards to run in this deck type.
this is the last build of this deck that i have updated. i have previously picked up some cards that i thought would fit well into this deck but like i mentioned wanted advise on if they should be in the deck and what i could possible swap out for them.
My deck imo runs like a typical Kaalia deck where i can use her to put down creatures or use my Amulet to get them in there
Also should mention ive kinda built this deck as a multiplayer deck as i usually play with minimum 4 players
if your group doesnt mind it, armageddon, catastrophe, and cataclysm. since you can keep your kaalia, you can wipe and then throw down some other beefy dude and beat down till your opponents are all dead while they build up.
i use to run armageddon but took it out because the typical guys i play with didnt like it. i am actally looking to branch out to play at a local card shop
Kaalia is kind of a one trick pony that relies on land destruction to be optimal. She does lose much power if you don't run that type of strategy for a win con. Yes it is cheap but so is auto wins, looping to win, etc. I have a list in my signature that only has two land destruction cards in it and is semi geared towards a mid/longer game for of a more casual setting. There are also cards I am planning to receive so if you check the list a week from now it'll be a bit for optimal for myself. Either way this deck runs off efficiency to win and win it can if you hit what you need or you'll amass a huge army in no time to either meet a board wipe or what have you. It's hard to steer off this bath but if they want to play that long grindy game cathar's crusade could do some work for you.
