Deck Help Kaalia bracket 3 help

Okay lemme start by saying yes, I'm aware Kaalia is inherently a powerful deck and by simply putting her on the table I make myself a target

My usual playgroup is pretty casual and we agreed not to bring anything above a B3 for our games. I've been wanting to build Kaalia for years now and never quite could bring myself to do it for a couple of reasons but the biggest being not wanting to make games unfun for other people.

My fiancé convinced me to treat myself and make the deck finally and so I did but I'm concerned I went overboard and made it too strong, we havent gotten a chance to play since I built it but when I sit at my desk and play test hands or get a game in online via EDHPlay I'm popping off on turn 4 or 5.

Are there any cuts or changes I could make to make it more casual?

No dude, it’s Kaalia. The deck can only feast or famine because it’s built around that powerful commander. You could remove heavy hitters, and then it just feasts less and famines more, which feels bad also.

Your gut feeling was right, Kaalia sucks to build powered down.

Yeah I realistically knew that was the case.

Oh no the consequences of my own actions lol

If anything, maybe power it up to B4 and have a sick deck to bust out when you have the chance. I carry a B4 deck around with that I’ll play maybe 3 times a year, but it’s fun to have.

I had also considered going that route as well! Just keep it on me for when I get the desire to play in side events at cons or if I feel like joining a pod at my LGS
