Commander Overview
How This Commander Plays
Kaalia of the Vast is a Mardu 2/2 flying Human Cleric from Commander 2011 Heavenly Inferno. Her attack trigger puts one Angel, Demon, or Dragon from hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking that opponent. Build around mana fixing, haste, protection, safe attacks, high-impact creatures, recursion, and enough card flow to recover when Kaalia is removed.
Core Game Plan
- Fix red, white, and black mana and use efficient ramp to cast Kaalia without overloading the hand with expensive creatures.
- Give Kaalia haste or protection so the table has less time to stop the first attack.
- Attack an opponent safely and choose the best Angel, Demon, or Dragon already in hand.
- Prioritize ETB, static, unblocked, or combat-damage effects that work with the tapped-and-attacking entry rules.
- Protect or recur Kaalia after interaction and account for growing commander tax.
- Refill the hand, redeploy the best threats, and repeat only while the attack remains safe.

Build Paths
Protect Kaalia and deploy expensive Angels, Demons, and Dragons with immediate ETB, static, or combat impact.
Highest threat quality, but most vulnerable to commander tax and top-heavy hands.Lower the curve, keep pressure in the air, and use Kaalia as acceleration rather than the deck's only threat.
Recovers better when Kaalia is removed but gives up some top-end power.Discard, recur, or reanimate large creatures so expensive cards remain useful when Kaalia cannot attack.
Adds graveyard resilience while becoming more exposed to graveyard hate.Use compact reviewed lines such as Kaalia plus Master of Cruelties without importing generic Mardu combo families.
One opponent can be eliminated, but the verified line is conditional and not infinite.Commander Spellbook combo 29-137 uses Kaalia to put Master of Cruelties in attacking; if neither creature is stopped or blocked as required, Master sets that opponent to 1 and Kaalia deals the final combat.
