My modifications of the Kaalia commander deck as I gain cards and what have you. Its fairly simple to play. Try to get Kaalia of the Vast out there and stick long enough to drop a big creature, hopefully one such as Iona, Shield of Emeria or Admonition Angel to get some control going. The 2nd swing (if you get it) is for an Akroma, Angel of Wrath or some other big beater. If you get to use Kaalia of the Vast for a big beater, that's great, but if she draws enough kill spells you can't be afraid to just hard cast some creatures. Sometimes, it can even be for the better (Razia, Boros Archangel and Linvala, Keeper of Silence for example).

The sideboard is actually stuff I want to put in, I just don't know what to remove for it. Any ideas would be wonderful. To fit the angel theme, I was half considering removing all the dragons and demons in the deck, but at the same time, I'm not sure if it is worth the change.

Coat of Arms is only going to go in if I can fit Angelic Destiny just for that one extra Angel option to boost everything. Elspeth, Knight-Errant is not in there yet because of liking some cards too much to take one out, and cost.

Any ideas on what creatures would make this better would be greatly appreciated. Bear in mind, this is a casual EDH deck, so I'd like to keep with the primary angel theme to it, as well as avoiding too OP cards. Thank you all for any input!

Update 10/18/11

Got rid of the cycle lands for what was in the side board. Still ideas of what to put it/take out would be awesome.

Update 5/2/12

Some card swaps to make room for the new awesome Avacyn Restored angels.

Update 6/4/12

Again, just updating for Avacyn Restored. Realized that Angel of Jubilation hoses every deck one of my friends plays. And he runs a way to get his Thraximundar in play for 0 mana, so I have no guilt of doing this.
