One more note: I'd like to keep it relatively fair & fun for everyone, so please don't suggest stuff like Armageddon or Rakdos the Defiler . While certainly powerful, those are just not what I'm looking for with this deck.

Possibility Storm . It's hilarious, and it also doesn't inhibit Kaalia'a trigger.

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try for sure.

I'm not sure if you view this as unfun or unfair, but how does Aurelia, the Warleader strike you? It comes out with Kaalia, granting you another combat phase, thus you'll get to drop down another Angel,Demon, or Dragon.

ahh, so no suggesting Master of Cruelties then? lol, it is a tad mean I suppose. Another fun intereaction is with Mycosynth Lattice and Hellkite Tyrant and/or Vandalblast . Other creature suggestions are Aurelia, the Warleader ?

@MagicMike69 & fijord: Thanks for the input guys. Aurelia was in there but as far as I know she won't trigger when put into play with Kaalia so I replaced her with Waves of Aggression . If that one fails in testing, I'll put her up again though.

Master of Cruelties sounds brutal but might be just the right tool to take someone directly out of the game once people start picking on me. I guess he'll take the spot of the Grinning Demon or something comparable..

Ph and check out my deck see if theres anything there that might interest you. Like Conspiracy naming dragons for the lols. Always a blast!

Been there, seen it, +1'ed it. ;)

Have you considered Path to Exile and Utter End? Nothing like exile to get rid of opposing Avacyns.

As for creatures, Bladewing the Risen is handy for getting dragons back. Thundermaw Hellkite and Stormbreath Dragon are good five drops to have, in case Kaalia can't hit the field. Stormbreath is also immune to StP and PtE.

Aurelia, the Warleader is almost an auto-include in a deck that wins with the combat step. Hellkite Charger also grants extra combat steps, but you need seven mana to do so. He also goes infinite with Sword of Feast and Famine (provided you have seven mana, obviously).

Blood Speaker is a handy tutor, along with Rune-Scarred Demon. Archangel of Thune is also fun, nothing like buffing all your creatures, as if they weren't big enough already.

Fervor is a great card in a deck like this. Slap that down, and next turn Kaalia with haste. Phyrexian Arena is also very handy, card draw is always always good to have, and you don't need triple black.

Sorry for the huge wall of text. If you want, feel free to check out my Kaalia deck: There Are No Brakes On The Revenge Train

Hey mate, thanks for the massive input. Some of your suggestions have been in and out of the deck already. For example I tried out Aurelia some time ago and found her just too fragile to keep her in. I'll see if I can fit Fervor in though.

Did you skip Master of Cruelties on purpose?

December 12, 2014 9:30 p.m.

chilbi says... #13

Hey PlattBonnay! Actually yes, I did. Same is true for Armageddon and such. Kaalia is such a powerhouse on ist own that I'd rather try to keep the deck somewhat beatable for the other players as well. Maybe I'll post a list of stuff i intentionally excluded soon, might be helpful.

December 15, 2014 5:29 a.m.

Yeah, a list of cards you won't consider or have already tried might be nice.

December 15, 2014 8:19 a.m.

PlattBonnay says... #15

Yeah, I agree with ThisIsBullshit, toss up the list of cards that you won't consider for the deck.

Although I would suggest helping your friends upgrade their decks so that you don't have to intentionally limit yours.

See your Kaalia must have been hugged more as a child. Mine is all bitter and angry lol. I run mass land destruction because a couple of others in my playgroup do as well.

Hehe, and there you have it: Escalation spiral! enter image description here

Casey4321 says... #18

True story. I really like this build though. +1

GobboE says... #19

I know...you must have play tested it or considered it a gazillion times before...but I must ask: Gift of Immortality or Indestructibility they would be sweet (perhaps instead of Shining Shoal?)

Nice build! + 1 from me

May 24, 2016 9:15 a.m.

chilbi says... #20

No, not really - thanks for the input! Indesttructibility looks a bit overcosted but Gift seems like a perfect fit. I'll definitely try it out!

Daedalus19876 says... #21

Between those two, I like Gift because it protects against sacrifice and -X/-X, unlike Indestructibility.

May 25, 2016 12:49 a.m.

chilbi says... #22

Yeah, exactly my thoughts. :D

bnwl91 says... #23

Have you tried Master of Cruelties in this deck? If you bring him out with kaalia he puts their life down to 1 and then kaalia deals 2 damage and kills them (just a small wincon)

June 19, 2016 1:44 a.m.

chilbi says... #24

Hi bnwl91! And as stated in the description I'm skipping on the Master since he just seems to unfair to me. Thanks for the post though.

Great Khalia deck! +1,000! The Timmy in me adores her, and I was thinking about making a deck for her, but I wanted my Mardu deck to be Zurgo Helmsmasher for different, still very Timmy, reasons. Ankle-Shanking, if you're interested. It's still in a very formative stage but I want a counter/mirror to a Thraximundar and/or a Silvos, Rogue Elemental deck. I want a 7-power+ -general beater deck! I already kind of have a "cheat-out-fatties" deck and a hordeling deck.

So I'm, uh, making one. The power of agency! Behold!
