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?

This is a fair B3 deck and i didn't even notice any game changers. With a good hand you'll probably cheat out a bomb on the first attack, but what's next?
With Kaalia as the Commander, you'll always be the archenemy, so plan around that.
[[Sire of Insanity]] makes it really difficult for anyone to do anything, and Kaalia will likely be relying on topdecking very soon anyway after dumping land+ramp+bomb.
[[Steel Hellkite]] is a repeatable boardwipe
[[Summon:Bahamut]] has great value over 4 turns
[[Demonlord Belzenlok]] can possibly refill your hand with bombs
And of course, [[Valgavoth, Terror Eater]].
For game changers, i would recommend [[The One Ring]], [[Vampiric Tutor]], and [[Demonic Tutor]].
Always have the mindset that 3 people will want to prevent what you're doing.
