Rune-Scarred Demon for some serious tutoring in EDH, not to mention beating some face with a 6/6 flyer coming in to play. Or if you're REALLY nuts....try plopping a Hellcarver Demon or Rakdos the Defiler.

I'm thinking Angelic Overseer makes sense, she's automatically Indestructible and Hexproof if brought in with Kaalia so flavor-wise I like the combo
Also I feel like the black part of her keeps getting screwed, Kokusho and Griselbrand getting banned, it just seems like they've banned all of blacks best options and left some ok stuff that can't keep up with white

The only thing I don't like is how very linear EDH decks with her commanding it are going to be. Play Kaalia, cheat big creature into play, beat face, repeat. Which isn't to say she isn't an amazing, awesome card and commander, it's just that she doesn't really lend to the most varied of strategies.

If you check out "competitive" edh decklists, they tend to run very similar decklists, no matter the general. A lot of Spikes end up making the same decks over and over. More than anyone else, Spikes need a good reason to make a new deck, and try out new cards.
Do the spikes do that? Sometimes.
Anyway, is this going to be Sarkhan's girl?

She needs a Whispersilk Cloak!
The only other thing missing from Kaalia in EDH is more card draw to make sure you have enough crazy creatures to dump. Promise of Power is great, Moonlight Bargain is pretty good, and a Wheel of Fortune and the cheatable Dragon Mage are absolute musts.
Oh, and World at War.

There are so many good things to put onto the battlefield with this creature.
Akroma, Angel of Wrath, Archangel of Strife or Iona, Shield of Emeria.
Demon of Death's Gate, Kuro, Pitlord or Pestilence Demon.
Dragon Tyrant, Bogardan Hellkite, or Vampiric Dragon.
Those are some of my favourites, but a Commander deck using this card wants lots of powerful Angels, Demons, and Dragons to put into play with Kaalia.

Play Kaalia
Attack w/Kaalia; put Lord of the Pit into play tapped and attacking
Next turn, sacrifice Kaalia to Lord of the Pit
...who's the commander now, puny human??
Lose your Lord of the Pit to whatever
Replay Kaalia from command zone; put Reya Dawnbringer into play
Dawnbring the Lord of the Pit back to play
Next turn, sacrifice Kaalia to Lord of the pit
I wasn't finished with you!

She has a pretty giant target painted on her forehead
I guess that's why they gave us Lighting Greaves in each of these things

I foresee the price of this card maybe going up a bit when Avacyn Restored releases...
I've been used to playing relatively slow EDH decks. I made a deck with Kaalia as the general....holy crap. Absolute freaking beat down. Angels, Demons, and Dragons....they just don't get much angrier than that.
