This is a blue/black faerie tribal deck, with a focus on vibes over all else. The deck's main playstyle is control. I tend to build up my board slowly, trying to cement an alliance on the table by countering a few spells in other players' favours, before engaging in a mid-to-late game faerie beatdown. Your win conditions are either blowing people up with a faerie swarm, or beating people to death with a massive Oona. Oona's activated ability is mostly there for token generation, it's rare that you'll actually mill anyone out with it.

Latest Update

Happy Eldraine faerie players!!! I've added some of the new cards of course, as well as splitting the "removal" section of the deck into three. Counterspells and Board Wipes now have their own sections, and anything that fits into neither category stays in the removal zone.

New additions to the deck include:

• Talion, the Kindly Lord > Jace, Wielder of Mysteries. As much as I love him, Jace is a bit of a flavour fail in the deck.
• Obyra, Dreaming Duelist > Cloud of Faeries. The former goes wonderfully with Bitterblossom, the latter might fare better in a real aggro deck.
• Likeness Looter > Nightveil Sprite. Likeness Looter is just a better 2 drop
• Mocking Sprite > Component Pouch. Not sure why I had component pouch in there to begin with.
• Alela, Cunning Conqueror > Wizened Snitches. Unfortunately, the Snitches have become extremely outclassed.
• Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor > Rhystic Study. This is just for the sake of the table haha, you can keep Rhystic Study in if you like to play with it.
• Halo Forager > Assassin's Ink. I wasn't finding much success (or flavour matchies) with Assassin's Ink.
• Island > Oona's Grace. As much as it's on theme, the deck doesn't have enough lands to reliably draw with Oona's Grace.

Original Description: Show

This deck would probably be better if I owned a skullclamp but I don't!

This is a blue/black faerie tribal deck with a focus on control. Win cons are beating people do death with faeries, beating people to death with Oona (happens more often than you think!), or milling them out with Oona (has happened once in a long line of games).

If I had the money I would add a Mistbind Clique into this deck but I don't, sadly. If you're wondering "how can you afford Bitterblossom and Vendilion Clique but not Mistbind Clique?", it's because the first two were gifts.

I used to run Dark Petition in the deck, but I swapped it out for Mystical Tutor, you could probably put whatever good tutor card you have in that slot. You can switch Beseech the Queen out for a better tutor too, but that's only if you're a flavour hater :/

Last Year's Update: Show

I got my hands on the Faerie, Faerie, Faerie Rad Secret Lair because I’m a shill and it pandered to me, meaning that I can now add Mistbind Clique to the collection! A bunch of other cards have been swapped out here and there, the list being as follows:

• Mistbind Clique > Nectar Faerie
• Tome Raider > Latchkey Faerie
• Nymris, Oona’s Trickster > Distant Melody (I wanted Nymris in there, and felt like Distant Melody did nothing for you if you were even a little behind)
• Feed the Swarm > Silumgar’s Command (Sweet, sweet enchantment removal)
• Heraldic Banner > Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver (I didn’t feel like Ashiok pulled their weight, and wanted a leetle more ramp)
• Faerie Formation > Nightveil Sprite
• Wizened Snitches > Sprite Noble (I missed having Wizened Snitches in the deck)
• Ice Tunnel > Temple of the False God (Temple has screwed me over too much for me to love it anymore)
