Kaalia with control/stax elements and combo finish (kikki and zealous/res)

Good ol combat damage like a traditional Kaalia if combo is stopped. Cut traditional power houses like damage doublers and land destruction in favor of combo and interaction.

Basic plan is to ramp or slow others down then assemble combo via Kaalia sending in Rune-Scarred Demon (or sneak attack him in) then Kikki to copy Rune-Scarred and get the rest.

A rule I tend to follow is don't cast Kaalia unless she can have haste or if you have enough mana to hard cast a fattie next turn.

Deck can win w/o Kaalia. Sometimes it is better to keep mana up to combat combo/blue players, hence the pyro and red elem. blast main board.

Expedition Map in for lands as answers to situations (cavern for counter heavy, lifelink land, Tab in a creature heavy board, etc.)

Can Kaalia win in my combo heavy meta? Yes!
