DISCLAIMER:

This deck is a more budget-y version of this Kamahl EDH deck which I had previously found on another site (upvote it, it's really awesome!): Badass Foil Kamahl Fist of Krosa EDH

Currently, my Survival of the Fittest and Gaea's Cradle are proxies.

For a more extensive explanation of card choices and how to play, see the link. For the cards I've swapped out with, see below:

Custom Choices

This may be a budget take on the linked decklist, but I have definitely incorporated my own spin to it, mostly with a ridiculously convoluted win strategy involving several cards in the deck for massive amounts of overkill damage, but without going infinite. It's mostly for casual, but if you get lucky draws, it is possible to do it in a tournament environment.

Current Overkill Damage Record: -11,057

Step 1: Build Up the Land Count

In order for the overkill strategy to work, you will first need to draw into Boundless Realms, and then either Eternal Witness or Greenwarden of Murasa. Hardcast the Realms to pull most of the basic lands from your library, then return it to your hand with one of the above cards to get the rest of them. You will have at least twenty-seven lands in play.

Step 2: Build Up the Board

Not including the commander, three creatures are essential to have in play the turn before the alpha strike: Avenger of Zendikar, Spawnsire of Ulamog, and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger. Vorinclex doubles your mana output, which will be essential, at 27+ lands, the Avenger will create Plant tokens for days, and you'll have enough mana left over to ultimate the Spawnsire and pull all your massive Eldrazi from sideboard (as it stands, my sideboard isn't tournament legal because it has multiple copies of a few cards; I'm working on it).

Next turn, you should have enough mana and giant dudes to swing for lethal.

Step 3: Alpha Strike

Put Bear Umbra on Kamahl to protect him and double your mana output further, create excessive amounts of mana with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, then figure out the ratio between your animating lands and using them for Kamahl's overrun ability to maximize damage output. Use the mana from Bear Umbra to squeeze in those last hundred points of damage.

Step 4: Calculator

Have fun figuring out exactly how much damage you just dealt to your opponent. See my record above; if you can beat it, post in the comment section below; I'd like to know.
