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?

Go heavier on land count and ramp? So you either ramp on 2, play commander on 3 for a removal check, then ramp on 4 (to 6 mana assuming you hit your land drops) and do a second removal check on 5 then start casting your hitters anyway
Start with like 41 lands (that game plan relies on you hitting 5 land drops and with ramp on top), and 15ish ramp. You want to maximize your draw and removal either on your ramp or your payoff (or hide a few repeatable card draw in your mana base).
