Perks of being such a wide effect. Her power continues to scale up as more and more powerful creatures she can throw onto the board are put into the game. Not to mention the great support white has received in the past year or so to "catch it up" to the other colors in commander.
Reminiscent of the Shadowfax deck, which I still enjoy playing to this day. Fun deck that I'll certainly be giving a spin. Awesome content as usual, love all the videos.
I think any deck that can cheat 7+ cmc creatures into play as early as turn 3 or 4, who then gain haste and can also Tutor for whatever you want probably belongs in hell queue.
20:18 You could also Rip Apart Kinnan and use Skrelv to grant Kaalia Protection against Green and have the Enchantment fall off, right? Edit: Aaaand, it gets answered 10 seconds later. Silly me.
Skrelv doesn't actually grant full Protection, just one half of it (unblockability + Hexproof from the chosen colour), so the enchantment would not fall off. Giver of Runes does, though, and she could have achieved that a turn later.
Make sure to mulligan hands that don't have a clear plan, some games in Brawl can be unforgiving for slower starts. The deck certainly has some bad matchups, but if things don't work out it's pretty fast to move onto the next game.
@@LegenVD Now THIS is exactly what I needed! Thank you for the encouragement, my copium has now been transformed into burning desire to crush all opponents that come my way!!
A friend of mine had a Kaalia deck in paper years ago. There was a match where I used acidic slime multiple times with my meren reanimation to break his lands so he couldnt cast kaalia... sadly after this he never used the deck anymore. I ask for forgiveness since then.
Can you make an indomitable creativity deck using the new Ulamog? I've been messing around with the idea and would love to see your take on it. The best I've done is a turn 4 17/17 with haste using Akorma's memorial.
Hey guys! I’m a new player and looking for a budget Kaalia deck to use in person. But there’s so many on edhrec that idk what one to pick. Can someone help me out and link a good one to buy and start with please:) would really appreciate it! Really want to get into magic
There's no real need to exactly copy a decklist, start from one you like that's close to your budget and you can make some changes based on personal preference! This way you'll be a lot more familiar with your own deck by the time you get to play it. Also note Griselbrand is banned in commander, while being legal in Brawl, so the two formats have different banned lists. Arena also has a much smaller available card pool compared to paper, so you'll have way more options. If you need more in-depth help I do offer personalized decklist feedback as one of the rewards on Patreon for higher tiers.
@@LegenVD Thankyou so much! Thats really what I want to aim for☺️ That’s my only problem though. this will be my first ever deck. So I’m kinda struggling with how to get a build to start with if that makes sense? Like, I know Kaalia looks really fun! I just don’t know my playstyle or the game yet and I want a deck to be able to play with my friend irl. I was going to use arena to test it but that’s more expensive than even buying a deck in person😬 I’m just looking for a really baseline budget starter deck to start with really☺️ I thought Kaalia would be nice too, since I can run any demon,angel or dragon:) Thankyou! I really appreciate the help🤍
Hey Legend, love all your content although Brawl is by far my favourite. I was wondering, do you have an overview of every category you tend to split decks up into? Would be neat to see. (I mean as a whole, for every kind of deck, and not the category overview you already include, in case it reads confusingly)
@@LegenVD That's alright! I find them super helpful at the start of the video, along with the in-depth. It has helped me a lot in terms of structuring brawl decks.
I crafted this deck and in the end I had to cancel it. It's fun, but a 2/2 commander who can be killed by EVERYTHING is too weak in the Brawl environment. She needed at least ward!
I found in the worst way with my own Kaalia deck that Vilis is a terrible terrible addition in a meta where Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is so common. You will trigger infinite card draw and damage if she is on the battlefield. Hope for drawing a removal in time!
Love your channel, but every time I come back to MTG Arena, I'm just annoyed. Their rigged matchmaking and still not fixed stalling is ridiculous. Hard to say anything nice about that company, scum of the Earth really :D.
"I guess we are in the hell queue with Kinnan"
Proceeds to demolish that deck, then Nadu, then Narset.
I think Arena was right about this one.
I think so, too. Kaalia used to be terrifying in commander (and still can be). And in a 1v1 commander format? Yeah. Very strong.
I've lost to EVERY Kaalia in the que...yeah she's RIGHT where she belongs 😡 😊
Tha turn 3 against Narset seemed like something straight up from hell queue
Angels, demons, beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes
lmao!! Grandma Turkey 🤣😂
U name it
A diaper
As polite as LegenVD is, I could feel the smug through the screen when he said "desperately trying to block" in the nadu game
24:10 So cathartic watching Nadu get decimated like that
it was extremly pleasing
sublime
@@phyrexia4everepiphany
Kaalia, the definition of "kill on sight" in any commander/brawl table.
Kaalia was my very first commander in paper many years ago now. Will always hold a special place in my heart.
Dude you entered hell queue so fast 😂
Love the layout you did during the deck tech!
Glad you liked it!
Ah, so she's still as scary as she was in 2011. Got it xD

I think this is the most games Ive seen in this amount of time lol sick
Funny that this deck got put in hell queue. Even funnier that it destroyed hell queue.
I think any deck that can cheat 7+ cmc creatures into play as early as turn 3 or 4, who then gain haste and can also Tutor for whatever you want probably belongs in hell queue.
Question for LegenVD, what is your favorite commander in MH3 so far and your favorite card from the set?
Haven’t gotten to try them all yet!
@@LegenVD fair enough. I'll ask again when Assassin's Creed comes out. I promise. What would you say is your fav. so far at least.
20:18 You could also Rip Apart Kinnan and use Skrelv to grant Kaalia Protection against Green and have the Enchantment fall off, right?

@@slavecek Ah, I see, I was double wrong, then
I've been waiting for SO LONG FOR HER TO BE ON ARENA
Brawl videos are my favourite.
THE PURE AMOUNT OF DOPAMINE AND SERATONINE THE MATCH VS NARSET GAVE ME WAS ASTOUNDING OMFG!!!!!
Absolutely amazing, love to see it 🥰
Such a nice deck , i never thought that i would be interested in a deck of commander , nice! thanks legendvd
Glad you like it!
That casual turn 3 with 18 mana against Narset was hilarious
Dennis the Street Wise give extra trigger for Kalia, and make it unblockable by bigger creature
Good point!
36:55
That "thank you very much" kills me
I find this commander so cool!
Absolutely trounced the Nadu decks. Well done!
I’d like to make this deck but i don’t have enough impact full cards.
Your deck has a lot of high weight cards, which is why it ended up in hell queue
25:55 that was by far one of the best W I've seen lately hahahahah
If you ran a roaming throne or Ishin 2 heavens as one, would you be able to,e to double the Kaalia trigger and out down 2 creatures?
Bringing me back to the good ol days!
2nd video I've seen a green flash on the screen.
around 32:10 for just 1 frame.
I've cut out a few but they don't always show up while editing. Probably a glitch with the recording software.
This was kickass!
20:20 you could have give her pro green and the aura would fall, is it not?
No, only true protection does that. Skrelv's pseudo-protection doesn't remove enchantments that are already attached.
I’m having the biggest skill issue of my LIFE plying this deck. I think I’ve gone 1-15 and it’s demoralising at its absolute best for me
Make sure to mulligan hands that don't have a clear plan, some games in Brawl can be unforgiving for slower starts.

Haha, thanks for sharing!
Why i cannot craft, mana stone and a lot of cards in any of the game modes?
Make sure the "not collected" filter is turned on in the deckbuilder when searching for cards.
Can you make an indomitable creativity deck using the new Ulamog? I've been messing around with the idea and would love to see your take on it. The best I've done is a turn 4 17/17 with haste using Akorma's memorial.
Why not Xenagos?
Yet another commander I won't play because of instant hell queue sadge

In game 2, Skrelv could have given Kaalia hexproof to fizzle Kenrith's Transformation, no?
No, only true protection does that. Skrelv's pseudo-protection doesn't remove enchantments that are already attached.
@@LegenVD today i lerned! Thanks! :)
Teaching people in Arena about powerful Kaalia of the Vast.
How do you make your thumbnails?

(I mean as a whole, for every kind of deck, and not the category overview you already include, in case it reads confusingly)
I do them on a deck-by-deck basis so don’t really have a general overview.
@@LegenVD That's alright! I find them super helpful at the start of the video, along with the in-depth. It has helped me a lot in terms of structuring brawl decks.
I see mardu kaalia, i instantly like
I crafted this deck and in the end I had to cancel it. It's fun, but a 2/2 commander who can be killed by EVERYTHING is too weak in the Brawl environment. She needed at least ward!
We want part 2!!!!
Could you maybe do shilgengar as your next brawl deck?
Angels, demons, and dragons oh my 🤪
How could Nadu lose twice?? It is the bringer of the end of days!!
LVD drops a video requesting Nadu to get nerfed
Future LVD watches the video: "Hold my beer"
Proceeds to humiliate every Nadu player in sight
When LVD enters Hell Queue, it becomes L queue (with a lot of vaalue)
I have her in my anthology collection. Very fun to play with. I've been wanting to update the deck. Fun video.
I really want the format in the description.
It’s written in the video description!
Gee, I wonder why Kaalia is a kill on sight commander. This video didn’t convince me enough otherwise.
It really isnt anymore, people just fear her from the old days
Ehhhhh she's still monolithic. Obvious chokepoint for the deck. The entire point of the deck.
There is a guy in my LGS with this commander and i HATE to play against him, its so unfair haha
4/10 games had boots in the opening hand. Hmm
There are a lot of cards I would rather have in my opener 😂
"Kinnan who ?"
I see Kaalia already started in the hell queue, good to know.
Do I have high hopes for this list? You bet I mardu
Take your like and LEAVE SIR
I found in the worst way with my own Kaalia deck that Vilis is a terrible terrible addition in a meta where Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is so common.
You will trigger infinite card draw and damage if she is on the battlefield. Hope for drawing a removal in time!
Worth it 🤣
This is a bit too strong, no? Haha
Value Soup
