I Hate Jake v1 by BrandonM

Format: Commander

Commander: Kaalia of the Vast

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Kaalia of the Vast is the primary engine: it cheats Angels, Demons, and Dragons into play tapped and attacking. The deck accelerates to four mana, protects Kaalia with cheap boots and free spells, and wins through combat damage. Secondary paths include Master of Cruelties via Kaalia to set a player's life to 1, extra-combat chains from Aurelia, Scourge of the Throne, Bloodthirster, and World at War, and reanimation of large flyers. The deck is commander-centric, but contains enough high-impact threats and tutors to pose a slow threat even if Kaalia is removed, though its fastest wins disappear without her.
