Another reason to pick up the Ghostly Possessions your friends throw out?

When the Commander deck series was first released, three of my friends and I each went out and each bought a different deck. I had really wanted the Political Puppets deck, because it played more to my style, but it was sold out. So, I defaulted into buying Heavenly Inferno. At the time, I was a little disappointed. But now things have changed...

Fits great in my black/white deck. Angels and Demons kinda works great together with her...

One of the most brutal Commanders. Kaalia, along with The Mimeoplasm, is one of those few that are immediate threats the moment they come roaring out of the command zone. You'd better be prepared to take her out as soon as she hits the battlefield, or be prepared to face the rising tide of Angels, Demons, and Dragons. And there are a lot - a lot - of them. Innistrad alone has given Kaalia such toys as Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Angelic Overseer, Griselbrand, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Balefire Dragon...

So powerful!
It would be hilarious if they ended up banning a card from Commander as a commander.

Shooot, I don't even run her in commander, personally, I think I'd like to run something less easily removed, but she works wonders in 60-card decks.

Tutor Avacyn, Angel of Hope and play Kaalia (Use Dash Hopes to discourage removal)
Drop Avacyn next turn covering Kaalia and my army of vampires and angels attacking with her.
Smile wide and evil and laugh if it's total overkill.

Kaalia gives me Avacyn; Kaalia makes my day. :)

Barring giants like Worldspine Wurm though. The thing is, she's not overpowered when faced with casual decks that drop things like that as fast as you do. Elvish Piper is the green equivalent, if they need it given the massive mana ramp green has. (I say this because my brother uses it.) Kaalia won't always be available as you may not always draw her. Sure, she can be tutored, but I'd rather search Thought Hemorrhage and get rid of Elvish Piper or nuisances li... (see all)

Put this up there with Doubling Season, Training Grounds, Painter's Servant, and Intruder Alarm for most referenced cards.

Aside from that, she just bugs my Timmy a bit because I've been making all kinds of Demon decks for years. Unplayable, huge, demons and decks filled with them all in the name of "These are so awesome!"; but this card makes stuff like that too easy. Hear me out..

To me; part of Timmy-ism is actually paying the huge mana cost. I can get a 9/9 for 3 mana off of a Titan Forge and Coretapper; but that doesn't feel even half as huge as the Sundering Titan to my Timmy. Getting a 6/4 wind-mill slammed Pit Spawn feels bigger and way more bad ass. Why? Because you paid huge mana for it. Timmy's don't want to Show and Tell or Kaalia in my experience; they want to ram... (see all)

I am in favor of the notion that EDH should be casual and fun, but to those who dislike this card for that reason, I think you are misdirecting your frustration. People are competitive, cards are not. A Card is only as good as the other x in the deck make it. it is true that this commander doesn't leave a lot of room for creative deck-building, but it itself doesn't make a powerful, no-fun deck. I bought this very early in my EDH playing career, and I didn't own all the flashy Kaalia targets, so I was essentially using her for tempo, not ramp (similar, i know, but the difference is plopping down a serra angel with her turn 5 so I can use my 5 mana on other things, versus getting out iona, shield of emeria 100 turns early).

No one is saying you can't run casual cards. electropotence, magus of the moat, earthquake. No one's saying you have to run general tucks like cha... (see all)
