Kaalia of the Vast my first and favorite commander. Truly a threatening force as soon as it hits the battlefield. I play Kaalia with a control edge, because she is such a potent threat I find if she does not attack the turn she comes into play then I will likely have to spend a couple turns keeping my opponents at bay while I attempt to recast Kaalia.

Any of Angels, Demons or Dragons put into play by Kaalia has to be able to do something immediately usually in one of three categories. ETB triggers such as Rune-Scarred Demon or Angel of Despair give your opponent little to no time to respond to a powerful trigger. Damage triggers like Balefire Dragon or Hellkite Tyrant will force your opponent to decide if they can handle the next threat Kaalia sends there way, or if the creature that just entered is the prevailing threat. Finally static abilities, like you'll see on Avacyn, Angel of Hope or Sire Of Insanity , will have inherent value that persists overtime.

The deck features the infinite combo of Hellkite Charger + Sword of Feast and Famine . Both cards are good inidividualy and having a quick, reliable win in any deck is valuable.

Quicksilver Amulet works as a second Kaalia that can be harder to eliminate but is less effective.

Moltensteel Dragon was a surprise hit, it can win games out of nowhere. Pair it with Aurelia, the Warleader , Gisela, Blade of Goldnight , or Archfiend of Despair and you'll likely have one fewer opponent to deal with.

This deck is more or less tooled for 1v1 with cards like Identity Crisis and Master of Cruelties . Kaalia thrives in multiplayer as well and the abundance of board wipes helps give Kaalia the time to either come back into play or start casting the creatures you were hoping to sneak into play.
