Deck overview

This is a general-power Kaalia of the Vast combat deck. Its main plan is to accelerate with two-mana rocks, cast Kaalia of the Vast, give her haste with Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Hammer of Purphoros, or Anger, and cheat large Angels, Demons, and Dragons into combat. Aurelia, the Warleader supplies extra combats, while Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Serra's Emissary, and Terror of Mount Velus can turn later attacks into major damage. Archfiend of Depravity, Liesa, Forgotten Archangel, and removal spells provide useful control. The deck can create a strong must-answer board around turn 6, but its finish is not compact or reliably assembled. It needs several specific creatures, repeated attacks, and protection from removal. Its interaction is broad but lacks stack coverage, and its recovery after a destroyed Kaalia engine is slow. The strongest improvements would be more haste redundancy, better card selection, and a compact alternate win route.
