Quick Info
- Enchantment/artifact tribal to ping Alela as often as possible and overwhelm with fliers.
- Attack with Alela herself to get flying Commander damage. Cards included to protect her, since she gets expensive to keep re-casting.
- Faerie tribal aspect with Bitterblossom and Alela
- Control and utility cards are enchantments or artifacts when possible.
- Effects that reward for creatures entering the battlefield under your control (e.g., faeries).
Control/Answers
Cards to control/answer threats, whether through exile, destroy, tap, bounce, counter, etc.
Auras
Auras for utility and to ping Alela and other enchantment-matters cards.
Ramp
Cards that find land, tap for mana, reduce casting costs, etc.
Card Advantage
Cards for drawing, scrying, tutoring, pseudo-tutoring, choosing from graveyard, etc.
Has Flying
Creatures with flying or cards that make fliers to support the flying tribal aspect.
Rewards for enchantments and/or artifacts
Most cards in the deck should be enchantments, artifacts, or things that care about enchantments and/or artifacts.
These cards reward playing or having enchantments and/or artifacts.
Creates Token Creatures
A goal is to spew out tokens, especially faeries or other creatures with flying. Other cards in the deck reward having creatures or permanents enter the battlefield, so these will ping those.
ETB Triggers
Since we want to spew faeries and other tokens, we also want things that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield under our control.
Faerie Tribal
Things that make faeries or boost faeries (or chosen creature type) or boost fliers.
Defensive
Cards that protect from damage, grant hexproof or indestructible, etc. Important to protect Alela.
Flash Enchantments/Artifacts
Cheap enchantments and artifacts with Flash, not so much for their own sake but for pinging Alela and getting a blocker as a combat trick.
Thinking of Replacing
Cards I am considering replacing.
