A 1v1 Work in Progress Kaalia of the Vast deck, looking for suggestion to make more competitive.

This deck tries to be always able to do Kaalia protected (red counter in case of blue opponent, silence, grand abolisher & Co.) until she can attack (better if with haste) and than put on the battlefield a big problem for the opponent.

The deck has a group of creature hardcastable from hand for force the opponent to take care of them. Two combo (WGD and Razakats) for a B-plan instead of passing trough combat.

Sideboard is for switching to multiplayer, different depending on table.

Fast Starts

T1 Kill

Land BR (2/99) + Dark Ritual + Sol Ring + Lotus Petal

-> Buried Alive + Dance of the Dead/Animate Dead

-> WGD combo INSTAKILL

T2 Kill

WGD

T1:

Land B (12/99) + Dark Ritual + Buried Alive

Land (27/99) + Lotus Petal +Sol Ring +Buried Alive

Land R (11/99) + Lotus Petal + Dark Ritual + Buried Alive

T2:

Land R (B if not yet) (11-13/99) + Dance of the Dead/Animate Dead

if Sol Ring Land WR (>6/99) + Silence/Orim's Chant/Abeyance

MoC

T1:

Land + Sol Ring + Talisman R (>2/99) + Mass Hysteria

Land R + Sol Ring + Lotus Petal + Mass Hysteria/Dragon Tempest/Generator Servant

T2:

Land MissingColor -> Kaalia

-> Master of Cruelties

(if not using Petal -> Silence/Orim's Chant/Abeyance/Gods Willing/Apostle's Blessing/Mother of Runes/Giver of Runes - last two only with Hysteria -

or Sol Ring -> Apostle Blessing)

Less efficient with Mothers in T1 and a Haste Enabler made with Petal in T2

Kaalia Haste & Protected

Same as MoC but without killing, only putting onto the battlefield a big problem.

Updates

Update 1 11/12/2019

+: Bloodstained Mire, Marsh Flats

-: Mountain, Shizo, Death's Storehouse

Buyed two fetches so i removed two lands for them.

Update 2 13/12/2019

+: Windswept Heath, Orim's Chant, Pentad Prism, Buried Alive, Final Parting

-: Sejiri Steppe, Ob Nixilis, Unshackled, Angelic Renewal, Response / Resurgence, Bojuka Bog

Some tests to stabilize WGD Combo e to add possibilities for Kaalia T2 o T3 protected. One More Fetch.

Update 3 28/12/2019

+: Giver of Runes, Lotus Petal, Leonin Relic-Warder, Gisela, the Broken Blade, Boros Charm

-: Lyra Dawnbringer, Aurelia's Fury, Mortify, Kaalia, Zenith Seeker, Diabolic Tutor, Bloodgift Demon, Demonlord Belzenlok

Adding best protections and speed. Testing Razakats combo for infinite tutors and Brisela.

Update 4 9/1/2020

+: Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Chancellor of the Annex, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Mass Hysteria, Trill of Possibilities, Abeyance

-: Sephara, Sky's Blade, Angel of Serenity, Swamp, Earnest Fellowship, Opportunistic Dragon, Catastrophe

Sephara is often a dead cast, Angel of Serenity is fantastic in multiplayer, but in 1v1 often has no target other than in graveyard. Earnest Fellowship is a good protection, but slower than some instant, trying the cut.

Mass Hysteria give the possibility of Kaalia T2 protected and with haste, why not? Thrill give the possibility of put in graveyard some big boy for reanimation (maybe WGD for the combo) and a bit of card draw.

The other three I think that don't need explanation
