A foiled-out version of my Kaalia Deck. My actual deck does not have this much foil. If it did, it would be a sure sign of the Apocalypse. and I would die from the pure beauty. However, I decided that my time would be best spent on Tappedout, pretending I have money.
How it works:

---

The goal of this deck is to get Kaalia out as fast as possible (hopefully turn three or four) and then start swinging and make everyone hate you as fast as possible.

To play this deck, simply ramp into Kaalia, then throw down as many demons, dragons, and angels as possible with the help of extra combat phases, and sometimes even casting the creatures when Kaalia just can't empty your hand fast enough. Then, if an opponent looks like they might gain an advantage soon, or if you smell a boardwipe coming, don't be afraid to destroy everyone's lands. Don't hold the land destruction in hand so that you can cast that Dreadbore , or any other spell. It honestly isn't worth it. and you can drop most of your dragons for free with Kaalia!

Important things to be aware of-
There's a lot of reanimation in here. So if one of your creatures, or even Kaalia, gets killed, don't worry. She'll be fine. However, if you have the mana, re-casting her is often a much safer choice than relying on a spell to help her up because counterspells are a thing.

Boardwipes- I know these are a questionable choice. However, sometimes people can drop creatures faster than you can. It's sad, but it happens.

Synergies and shenanigans

There's plenty in here.
The ability to lock someone out with High Market / Phyrexian Tower + Yosei, The Morning Star and some reanimation actually does make her worth a spot. She's great on her own, but that combo kills people.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope + any board or land wipe = a serious advantage.

Kaalia of the Vast + Rakdos the Defiler - When Rakdos enters the battlefield tapped and attacking, he never actually triggers his first ability, menaing that only your opponents have to figure out which permanents to sac.

There's plenty of other synergy in here but it isn't quite as strong.

Final notes:

My play style is that of someone with a stompy Mayael the Anima deck- I like to hit things and hope for the best. Turning creatures sideways brings me joy. I also don't think through all of my plays, but that's what allows people to have fun. So while playing this deck, remember to swing at everyone's face. Especially if they don't have fliers up.
Thank you so much for looking. Please leave comments so I can consider them with much thought and please upvote if you like Kaalia, Angels, Demons, Dragons, and/or foil.
