This keep my use of this deck 1) versatile, with many methods and combinations to win and 2) fun while still being relatively competitive. \n\nThe Story:\nSo I just got into MTG and started playing the game regularly with the Buckle Up precon. A buddy of mine was so thrilled about me getting into the hobby that, after my first win playing commander, he decided to gift me with Kaalia the Vast (told him I would love to play with angels, dragons, and demons). \nAnd so I've set my sights to making my first deck build with Kaalia! To get me started, I traded in an old comic book collection for the more expensive cards on this list. The rest I'm trying to figure/finalize before making anymore purchases. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck looks functional. In my opinion it will be weak against enchantments. Pillow fort and enchantment removal are both problematic for Kaalia, but you only have 2 removal spells that can hit enchantments. That said, I wouldn't worry about it unless you are seeing those strategies in your play group.\n\nI would reconsider any creatures with an attack trigger.
