I can see that, would you mind taking a look at my Kaalia deck and give me some pointers? You don't have to i just feel as though I'm struggling with what I want mine to do, mine is also my baby and I really want it to be as slit-throat as possible. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/23-05-15-the-divine-comedy/

Thank you very much for all the help in my deck XD i literally sweep even veterans in my local store.. Everytime Kaalia comes out i hear a collective groan from my opponents..even being targeted the entire time i play i still have an overwhelming sense of pride XD.. i really want to find a way to put Elbrus the binding blade in my deck (without sunforge mystic) any ideas? Or is this just a lost cause? I also have a promo art Ugin id love to have in there as well..but their mana costs are very high

I just don't think there's a spot in a Kaalia deck for either of those cards. The thing about aggro in EDH is you have to be fast - otherwise you get out-midranged by the actual midrange decks. So adding in slow stuff just makes your deck a bit worse.

If you're ever playing casual EDH, maybe, but not in a competitive environment.

Yeeeeaaa i agree..just thought maybe there might be a way XD maybe ill build a deck i can use them in

With the new cards in the new Command decks coming out, is there anything you see that you would he interested in putting in this deck?

I was looking at the decklists and I'm not really seeing anything I really want to add.

I am not playing dual cummander but still, this is one solid Kaalia's decklist.

Have you ever considered Boros Charm for protection? That card's put me out of trouble so many time... Also, I would run Debt of Loyalty just to make sure the giants stay on the board. Bt hey, with a such decent decklist it's hard to make place for those 2 cards!

Yeah, I've never really had issues with my giants not staying on board and I don't think there's been a place where I've really wanted Boros Charm but maybe I'll see if I can find a spot for it

What ended up being taken out for Read the Bones? I ended up taking out my Sign in Blood for Faithless Looting , the flashback is very nice as well as the 1 drop draw, I felt I already lost too much life due to my lands lol. I also run Vault of the Archangel the deathtouch/lifelink is great with things like Thunder Dragon, Balefire Dragon, or even Thundermaw Hellkite. Also I am thinking avout adding the black and white spirit dragons to my deck to abuse the Sneak Attack / Phyrexian Reclamation combo. What do you think?

I took out Resolute Archangel, she didn't seem to be doing enough.

I tried Vault, it was just too much mana for an effect that didn't do as much as I expected, and this deck is super color hungry, so I can't afford to run lots of colorless-mana producing lands.

As for the dragons, they're cool but 3 mana (two of which is specifically red and black) and two life doesn't seem worth it for the white one. Kokusho could be good, but I've never tried her because it's just not the direction I want to go - also she's six mana to hardcast, which is an awkward spot on my curve.

Also, it's rare that you'll assemble that combo without already winning the game. If you resolve a Sneak Attack, have a bomb or two in your hand, and red mana, you're already miles ahead and don't need reanimation shenanigans in order to win.

Just my two cents, if that made any sense.

For sure for sure, sorry i keep commenting on this threads, just really enjoy your build but want to adapt it to my own

Haha don't worry I love it when people comment on my decks

How about [Aegis Angel] to help with protection?

I tried it, but she just didn't do enough and Avacyn does it way better.

I just decided to run Hellcarver Demon in my deck.. seems stupid i know but my lord he can win games XD i sacked my land (no big for Kaalia) into a Boros Charm, Armageddon, Day of Judgment And then Sire Of Insanity

I ran him in one of the first iterations of this deck, but he never actually got me value. If your opponent has a turn to deal with the big dudes you get out of it, then you're screwed.

Yea i agree, he really isnt worth playing but he is just soooo much fun XDi like having a demon with amazing abilities that makes me work/suffer for having him lol..feels more demonic than the likes of Runescarred or what have you. How do you feel about Praetor's Grasp? I like being able to steal stuff from my opponents lol! Nearly everytime i go for their Sol Ring or Top

Well it's kinda fun but I already have a lot of three drops and it's a little slower than I would like.

Also Sol Ring and Top are both banned in Duel Commander.

Yea true lol...so why dont you drop the Sign in Blood for a Boros Charm.. Your draw doesn't seem to be lacking any..if not that then what about the Read the Bones

Because I like card draw better than indestructible

What exactly IS duel commander? What's the difference between duel commander and normal commander besides the banned list?

Duel commander is a variant on regular EDH. It's meant to be a competitive format, played as a 1v1, and you start at 30 life instead of 40. The ban list is different and there are no sideboards allowed in competitive events.

The biggest difference is the life and ban list.

Oh, thanks. +1

Also, what about Painful Truths over nights whisper or read the bones. Draw three is really good.

I'll have a go with that, kinda forgot it exists.
