This is my second deck I actually sat down, focused, and put effort in making. Please any helpful feedback/suggestions would be very appreciated.
Any cuts or replacements. I feel like my land base is a bit small but Looking over the deck plan it feels ok at the same time if that makes any sense? 🤷‍♂️
I'm having a hard time keeping my "vegetables" in the deck, I feel like the creatures are all super important for the deck.
Thank you in advance! wubbyPray

Pretty solid list from what I can see, only criticism might be amount of haste enablers for kaalia as she (if your playing in a pod that's higher bracket or more aware) usually will get killed asap, also considering cost of haste enablers. Ideally you'd be able to ramp turn 2 and kaalia with haste turn 3 but might be slightly tricky with 3mana thinkings like Rising of the Day

#

[[Arena of Glory]] is a good one

I would maybe cut Isshin and Kaalia Zenith just cause from my experience, Isshin is just winmore and is awful when youre behind, zenith doesn't hit as often as you'd really hope it would (although you have more creatures vs my list)

#

also care about card draw because you dont wanna run out of stuff to cheat or extra protection once your board is nice and strong (also since you're not running tutors)

#

but you've got solid stuff like esper, rakdos, speed demon, BMC etc

#

Im running [[Lotho, Corrupt Sherrif]] in my list cause turn 2 ramp is quite important, so could consider him over Monologue tax, but see what works best in your groups, for me he generated like 14 treasures over a game (might help with Tithe to make Hellkite a cheeky backup win)

Canopy lands also handy for fixing and card draw, I try not to have tooo many tap lands (even tho surveils are great) for ramp on 2 kaalia 3 moves

#

[[Flawless Maneuver]] also good for protecting kaalia cause it's free when she's out
Edit: Ignore me, I just didnt recognise the art on your version hahah

[[Hall of the Bandit Lord]] as well for good haste enablers, although can be expensive

trialing a card called [[Generator Servant]] as well since you have more creatures that double damage it might work well for you as well? Although you also have more dragons for Tempest to actually hit, so that might just be better

if you run [[Urza's Saga]] at any point you can also add [[Lavaspur Boots]] to fetch offa it
