Kaalia's Summons
Custom Cards forum

Kaalia is a very popular character in this game, but I noticed that she does not have a "signature spell," so I decided to create one for her, as seen, here:
Kaalia's Summons Show
This card is very simple and straightforward, and it works very well with Kaalia's original incarnation, so it naturally shares her colors.
What does everyone else say about this card? Do you like its design?
It's certainly better than the trash Kaalia we got in M20.

Funkydiscogod brings up a good point. Perhaps make it like Zenith Seeker's ability and have it so you can put one of each in your hand. It COULD be seen as drawing 3 cards so it might be worth it to make it cost 1 more.

Skyler1776, that is some very awesome flavor text, so I hope that you would allow me to use it. However, I believe that it would be better if it said "no demon could control her, no dragon could destroy her," since demons are known to be manipulative, whereas dragons are known to be destructive.
Funkydiscogod, would the card be too powerful if it put the creature directly onto the battlefield?
Falcoshin, that is actually a good idea, so I may experiment with it.

Was trying to go off of cards like Opportunistic Dragon , and Nicol Bolas, who were known for taking others and manipulating them. Demons work just as well, though! Feel free to use this!

Falcoshin As in look top 6? Or the entire library, pick the best Angel, Demon, and Dragon and stuff them into your hand?
The last one is definitely too overpowered, the closest we get to multiple card search would be something like Shared Summons which is 5 CMC. Otherwise you're looking at Conflux , Uncage the Menagerie or Firemind's Foresight type of cards.
The cheaper ones would be something like Congregation at Dawn which is significantly worse.
Considering we already have Kaalia of the Vast to cheat the cost and Kaalia, Zenith Seeker to find gas, I would think it wiser to have Kaalia's signature spell be something different but beneficial to those abilities.
Also yeah, DemonDragonJ basically casting Dragonstorm without storm at 3 CMC or close would be too powerful.
Ideas for another way to encompass her signature spell:
She cheats out big Angels, Demons or Dragons with her first iteration, and finds them with her Zenith Seeker iteration.
Perhaps her signature spell should utilize those big things on the board, or bring them back from beyond the grave for another round.
"Return target Angel, Demon, and/or Dragon creature card from your graveyard to your hand."
Or
"Return target Angel, Demon, and/or Dragon creature card from your graveyard to the top of your library in any order.
If you return an Angel, you gain 5 life. If you return a Demon, target player loses 5 life. If you return a Dragon, deal 5 damage to target creature."
It doesn't do much here and now but it secures that future draws are at least worthwhile gas. Basically a flipped Congregation at Dawn with an upside.
I would be careful about providing too much tutoring help to a deck that cheats mana costs in general.

Flavor Text: “No angel could save her, no demon destroy her, and no dragon control her. One by one, she gathered them all.”
