Kaalia's lore is found in two parts: first read this one and then this one.

As a Timmy/Spike player, there's nothing that makes me quite as happy as playing a deck that is both explosively powerful and (somewhat) resilient while still being a blast to play. Fortunately for me, this particular Kaalia deck does almost all of that. Depending on the hand, I can play a big opening with Kaalia or I can start with stopping their deck and then stabilizing to play Kaalia or my other creatures later.

This deck is my baby. It's the first real deck I made and it's the one I really learned how to play magic with. I learned all the ins and outs of deckbuilding with this deck. I decided what goes in and what stays out. I've been playing it for about three years now. There have been about a billion list changes, a billion games played, many times I've pulled it apart and reworked the mana base because it just wasn't working, it's been overhauled at least twice, and I still haven't gotten sick of it yet. I really love this deck.

Please keep in mind that this is a Duel Commander deck - it is meant to come out of the gate quickly and overwhelm one opponent before they can do anything. Duel Commander also uses slightly different rules and has a different banlist than regular EDH. Please don't tell me Griselbrand is banned, because he's not. The Duel Commander banlist can be found here for those interested.

Thanks for looking! If you liked it, feel free to leave a comment and a +1!
