This is my second EDH deck, this time, based around Kaalia of the Vast.
Why I chose Kaalia
I like the colors that Kaalia provides me with. This color combination is home to some of the best removal, such as Swords to PlowsharesPath to Exile and Mortify. In addition, it has a ton of board wipes to just decimate board states.
Kaalia seems like the strongest bet for this color combination, if you give her haste, which is very easy to do, you can drop bomb creatures like Rakdos, the Defiler and Griselbrand that just let you win.
Some Dragon, Demon, and Angel cards that wouldn't cut it in other decks become incredibly playable when they are free and can still be useful without Kaalia. Many of these guys do things as soon as they attack or even hit the field, causing drastic board state changes out of nowhere.
She is just cool, flavor wise and mechanic wise
Deck Strategies
Basically, find a way to protect Kaalia as she comes into play, and giving her haste is a very nice plus.
As Kaalia attacks and drops free creatures, you use your mana for removals, and enchantments that allow double damage, which just kills opponents quickly
