No storm works by essentially randomizing what spell their casting, if they cast a creature they essentially cast the next creature that's ontop their library instead, they also won't run out of cards as storm's last effect puts the exiled cards randomly on the bottom of their library.

Because that says play and not cast does it still affect kaalia?
August 12, 2013 4:57 p.m.
Play was old term for casting, also I believe storm can't trigger off of commanders being cast from the command zone.

nice deck you got there. love the Catastrophe - Crucible of Worlds combo oh, and here's my kaalia deck if you are looking for some new ideas Kaalia of the Vast - EDH

Oh, and btw: storm would not be tiggered by playing the commander from his zone since he's played from his zone and not your hand. Playing him from your hand would trigger the effect (by having him put there with Boomerang for example)He simply would go back to his zone in this case. I think combing Possibility Storm and Rule of Law could be fun, since it would force your enemy to play a single spell at random, with you still being able to play your creatures with Kaalia of the Vast , since she simply puts them on the battlefield, which is not casting

Rule effects Have proven to more often drag the game to a crawl than it has resulted in a quick victory.

Doesn't Possibility Storm plus Rule of Law end up saying "Whenever a player casts a spell, exile cards till they reveal a card that shares a type with it, then put them all on the bottom of their owners lib in any order"
Because Rule of Law says players can't cast more then one spell, and Possibility Storm triggers off a spell cast and says you may PLAY it with out paying its mana cost. Isn't that just a hard lock on spells?

Yup that combo does exist, but it doesn't hard lock all spells, only the ones cast from player's hands.

I think that Akroma, Angel of Fury is a sideboard card useful only against mono blue decks, and IMHO you have too many creatures that does not follow a plan, I would use Sun Titan unless I have a real deal for it, like Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead or Necromancy
Take a look at my list I build a reasonable competitive deck that has no combos in the mainboard but that has a very good win ratio against a wide variety of decks

I wonder how well your deck's mana base works in a competitive environment because there are 10 lands that technically only make colorless mana, 1 mana rock that makes colorless mana, and only 4 mana rocks that actually color correct. There are also a large amount of etb tapped lands. Kaalia needs speed for the cannon to go off and Im not seeing an early game lead here.

ghostfire86, in a competitive environment kaalia is tier 3 (maybe 4), in terms of optimizing for a competitive environment I would say I'd need to make several other changes like swapping some of the creatures just there to smash for the more game ending ones or staxier ones.
for my playgroup this current built could even use something around a 50% nerf, I mostly have the competitive meter up for personal curiosity, though I do admit the meter doesn't seem to look too hard at the deck ( I imagine it just checks for fetch lands, duals that can be found with fetches, and tutors) I would probably say the deck is around a generous 75, someday I might want to tune this a bit higher, but really it's the deck I run to teach players how important it is to not try to make their entire removal package just board wipes.

I'm not sure if you are still playing her, but I've made grate strides to make her compete with the tier 1 cedh. With my current build, I stomp on high power pretty good and can be very annoying to 4 and 5 color decks. There are other cedh decks that struggle with it as well.

Sir_Flash most color combination of decks can compete vs the top tier lists when built solidly enough, kaalia can be a mana discount plan c for a mardu reanimator combo/stax list, I do still play this deck whenever I can, but I like to keep a variety of varied tuned lists so I can have a deck for almost any table, kaalia atm for me fits in the tribal goodness to teach other players the importance of targeted removal when their current experience has them going for value.

Wtf??? In commander wouldn't that make each person who cast a spell draw to exile until they run outta cards? I love this card, but gall dang is it mean!
