Overview:
A classic Kaalia of the Vast deck focused on cheating powerful Angels, Demons, and Dragons into play for explosive combat damage, supported by protection spells and removal to ensure Kaalia's survival and effectiveness.
Primer:
This deck's primary strategy revolves around getting Kaalia of the Vast onto the battlefield with protection, then using her ability to cheat powerful creatures into play for free. The deck runs numerous high-impact Angels, Demons, and Dragons that would normally be too expensive to cast, along with protection pieces like Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots to keep Kaalia safe. The secondary strategy involves hardcasting threats when Kaalia isn't available, supported by various mana rocks and efficient removal.
The deck aims to establish early board presence through ramp artifacts, protect Kaalia with equipment and instant-speed protection spells, and then overwhelm opponents with massive flying threats. Card advantage engines like Phyrexian Arena and tutors help maintain consistency, while cards like Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Teferi's Protection provide resilience.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on its commander, making it vulnerable to repeated removal or tuck effects. The high curve of creatures can lead to clunky opening hands if Kaalia is unavailable. Board wipes can be particularly devastating, especially if protection pieces aren't available. The mana base could be improved with more dual lands and fetches for better color consistency.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 6/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 7/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the focused-to-optimized range, capable of explosive turns but lacking the consistency of higher-powered builds. It can establish threatening board states as early as turn 4-5 with the right draws, but typically wins around turns 7-8. While it includes several powerful protection pieces and interaction, it doesn't quite reach the speed or consistency of highly optimized builds. The deck would struggle against power level 7+ decks due to their faster combo wins and more efficient interaction, but would consistently overpower most casual decks below power level 5.
Final power level rating: 6.0 - 6.5
