Alright. You caught me. I have my Kaalia deck, you can find it in my folder, and in the description it mentions that it was my first deck.

I lied.

Throwback to the year 2017. I was just rediscovering my love for Magic, the Gathering after a good 6 or 7 year hiatus.. I began slowly buying a few packs and singles that I just enjoyed the nostalgia of. Rise of Eldrazi, Scars of Mirrodin, Lorwyn, around that era when I originally first started playing. I saw a thumbnail on my Youtube recommended titled "The Command Zone etc etc". I was enticed. MTG Content online, interesting concept, especially at the time. I was introduced in that brief few moments to the format we all know and love, Commander.

I finished the video and immediately took to my boxes and dug out one of my ALL TIME favorite Legendary creatures with the iconic beautiful art. Unfortunately from the Chronicles set, not original Legends, (If you have a lead on one drop me a link!)

So I assembled the deck, and found I had nobody to play with, but I had developed a couple of "new" friendships from people I knew in the past, playing video games regularly with them, who also happened to play EDH every Sunday night. I was over the moon with excitement to try out my very vanilla, Timmy Dakkon Deck. So there I was. Turn 1, seven beautiful cards in hand, 92 cards remaining in the deck of 60 lands, 12 creatures and 27 Voltron style spells/enchantments and equipment cards. I got BULLDOZED, 6th or 7th turn and I only had 6 mana out, JUST enough to cast Dakkon, once. I didn't even manage to get a swing out with him in that game. I was so discouraged and continued the evening playing a friends enchantress deck in Bant Colours.

Once I got home I dismantled the deck and Dakkon went into the box to collect dust on his sleeve and not see the light of day for 4 more years. And here we are now today, with a slightly better version. Aside from my first rendition of this deck, I haven't ever played with Voltron strategies in the past. This deck has been has only been played 5 or 6 times, with 4 wins under the belt already from outright Dakkon swings. The deck aims to manipulate land plays and add as much value as I can, with a backup Voltron strategy for Dakkon to get PUMPED and become unblockable. Some smaller pieces are en route, and the landbase needs a ton of work. Open to criticisms as usual, and thank you so much for reading.
