Deck overview

This is a Mardu "cheat creatures into play" deck helmed by Kaalia of the Vast. The primary plan is to cast Kaalia on turn three, attack, and put an Angel, Demon, or Dragon from hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. The deck packs over twenty high-impact flying threats, including damage doublers Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and Twinflame Tyrant, extra-combat Aurelia, the Warleader, and the one-shot Master of Cruelties. Roaming Throne doubles Kaalia's trigger, cheating two creatures per attack. Backup cheat outlets include Sneak Attack and a small reanimation package (Animate Dead, Necromancy, Reanimate). The deck wins through overwhelming combat damage, accelerated by extra combat steps and doubled damage, with a dense protection suite (Mother of Runes, Grand Abolisher, Silence, Deflecting Swat, Flawless Maneuver, Clever Concealment) keeping Kaalia and her cheated threats alive.
