Deck Description

This is a deck that I have built.
I tried to adhere to the correct sets as much as I could.

How to Play

Pretty obvious, really.

Use Kaalia's ability to drop huge guys on the field.

Deck discussion for Kaalia EDH

First and foremost; Kaalia is a noob trap. A commander that lets me play huge, OP versions of the three most popular iconics in the game? I want all the Kaalias! But the reality is any smart group will realize in about four seconds that the deck just dies with Kaalia off the field, or better yet pinned to the board with something like Darksteel Mutation being useless. It's not even really an issue of hardcore competitive vs. not, because even the people running janky pirate tribal can shut her down by shuffling half a dozen thirty cent cards into their deck.

All that said:

Homeward Path. Get one in here ASAP. You don't want to be staring at pretty much any of those creatures swinging back at you.

Less dudes, more draw. You can only cheat one guy into play a turn, and you probably won't be hardcasting more than that either. Plus you risk overextending into a board wipe with too many guys down simultaneously. You need gas in hand so every swing with Kaalia puts something down though, or gives you answers. Phyrexian Arena and Necropotence are good starts, and I'd probably also find room for Ambition's Cost, Ancient Craving, and probably NIght's Whisper, Sign in Blood and Read the Bones, too.

Cards I'd run over Murder, Unmake, Victim of Night and Annihilate: Terminate, Mortify, Path to Exile, Go for the Throat, Utter End, Hero's Downfall, Anguished Unmaking, Chaos Warp.

You need more ways to protect Kaalia. Righteous War saves her from 95% of the targeted removal spells in the game, and helps a lot of your other dudes, too. Lightning Greaves protect her and let her swing out the turn she comes down.
