Kaalia - Mana curve and help trimming down 9 cards 5/22/2012 2:37:30 PM

Help trimming down my Kaalia deck would be appreciated.

http://essentialmagic.com/Decks/View.asp?ID=930767

I have a few fun combos in there that I would like to keep, such as Timesifter+Stranglehold, Sanguine Bond + Exquisite blood, but aside from keeping those in I am pretty flexible. Any tips would be appreciated.

cut
Vampiric Dragon Buy - holy smokes its a ridiculously overcosted and lame Olivia Voldaren Buy.
Rakdos the Defiler Buy - awful guy. just sets you up for instant speed removal that destroys you
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon Buy - i guess if you sneak it in early its adequate, but then again you can sneak in iona early and its pretty adequate too. not exactly a creature that does all that much
Celestial Mantle Buy - 6 mana auras that dont say you win the game are unplayably bad.
Ob Nixilis, the Fallen Buy - unimpressive and unevasive. maybe better off just playing a decent dragon like Balefire Dragon Buy or something instead.
Furyborn Hellkite Buy - pretty bad. if you cheat it in its just a 6/6 which is unimpressive. if you dont cheat it in you can cast better things for 7 mana.

in
Mother of Runes Buy - mother protects win conditions from dying to instant speed removal.
Balefire Dragon Buy - on paper this guy looks alright.
Graveborn Muse Buy - draw more cards
Victory's Herald Buy - seems pretty good just for lifelink
Victimize Buy - black tooth and nail.
Insurrection Buy - alt win condition.
Word of Seizing Buy - awesome awesome spell. play it in every red deck. its just simply amazing. the number of times this card has saved me is almost incredible. the very first time i played it on 7ish life, i stole someones Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter Buy with a bunch of counters on it during their attack step. blocked and killed a guy, gained a stack of life then removed all the counters and killed 2 more dudes, then sacrificed vish. another game i was on 20 general damage from jenara, seized her during combat and sacrificed her then proceeded to turn the game around as my olivia was now online.

if you can fit it in Moonlight Bargain Buy is also a pretty good draw spell. its black FoF, but your opponent never gets to choose


*disclaimer* any suggestions i make are purely hypothetical, unless otherwise stated. if you have playtesting evidence to prove otherwise, then feel free to ignore any suggestions i make
