I have an up to date Kaalia deck, and I can honestly say it’s still a powerhouse. I’m usually play 3v1 because at most tables, they want me gone first. That said, I find that to be fun. If I die or will die I’ll take someone with me. And if they don’t kill me I’ll usually win the game. I’ve even played and won in 5 and 6 player pods. One thing about Kaalia decks is you need to know when and how to play her.
I personally prefer Kaalia, Zenith Seeker. I built her as a blink and reanimation edh deck and Kaalia provides a great amount of card advantage for the strategy
The effect is super strong, and the ward 3 just makes it broken. It basically means killing it costs 5. If you play first, you need instant removal, and then you lost a turn against someone with mana acceleration to spare. If you go second you're dead. If it was a 4/4 with ward 2, It would already be great. I don't know why they thought it was OK to print it that way. It's incompetence at this point.
Also decks should be viable without their commanders so that you arent gutted like a fish if it doesnt work out. There are alot of great demons, angels and dragons to compensate
I agree!! I think including some lower mana creatures in those types is a great way to ensure you have a back up plan if Kaalia is not sticking around! I talked a bit about that at the end of the deck tech when discussing things I would change or improve!

That mana tithe hit on the wash away made my day!
Was such a clutch moment! 😅
best commander in the world
She has definitely earned her stripes!

I wanted to include her but I was out of mythic wildcards! I never thought to use her with blink! That’s a great idea!
Voja is one of those commanders i find brutal to play against
Yeah I feel like I underestimate them every time! And then BAM! I’m dead lol
yup its not often that i choose to start a game against it, i usually just concede right away.
That’s where I am at with Nadu
Omg same

i got hasted out with that new mono red land that exerts itself first time i queued against her in brawl, its good tech for that deck
It’s arguably the most important card in my build tbh! It was such a great feeling seeing it in my opening hands!
@empty_g that's awesome bro, it's good to see people still pushing her. There's too many big scary things that needs to be cheated out! 😆
