Panharmonicon and Chief Engineer would also be good considerations

CloseTalker, thanks so much for the suggestions. I keep going back and forth on Chief Engineer, on the one hand, more cost reduction for storming off, and on the other hand, there is already alot of cost reduction in the deck.

Not certain Panharmonicon is right for me in this deck. But that may just be me underestimating it.

Urza is too expensive for my liking, but maybe something I go with in future upgrades.

I have been looking into Memnarch :)

I'm not sure Sword of the Meek would work with Alela out because if the +1/0 she grants and I will rarely have her off the field to utilize it.

And I like the meth-tweaker commitment comment. I'm taking it as a compliment lol. And it has now become apart of my vocabulary, so thank you for that. I'm hoping to pick up the remaining pieces I need to have the deck look as you see it here, but I got sidetracked upgrading and tweaking my Syr Gwyn deck.

Sword of the Meek should work in alela—- moreso to combo off with something like Thopter Foundry to get it goin.

Noelqkazoo Do to the Sword of the Meek needing a 1/1 creature entering the battlefield to bring it back, you would need to at first rid the bored of Alela, Artful Provocateur because as long as she is on the bored, the Thopters created by Thopter Foundry will be 2/1's after state based actions are checked. So yes, while in theory you could include the combo, you'd have to be sure to sacrifice Alela to your Ashnod's Altar prior. I have recently been informed of that option. When the deck is so focused on keeping Alela on the field to maximize the production of faerie tokens, I've overlooked that option.

That said, I'm not totally against using the combo anymore. I've recently purchased a few more cards and have yet to update the deck so it has a few more options to keep the deck running in the event that Alela is removed, specifically Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas for the mass damage they can generate.

I personally run a tezzeret planeswalker subtheme with artifacts build of alela (courtesy of a youtuber’s deck idea). Its been the most interesting version of alela i’ve fiddled with thus far, though i would try to run alela eggs with something like a Cloudstone Curio combo if i were to convert her to a cedh build.

Which of course, is how i ended up here with your list

Have you thought about running Leyline of Anticipation for flash plays on your opponent’s end step?

Noelqkazoo Solid suggestion. I'm super proud of this build. It's my main. I've been working with her since she came out, starting with a faerie tribal build with a artifact anthem subtheme. Since then I've slowly been incorporating more and more artifacts. This is truly my homebrew. It morphed into more artifact creatures, and finally to where it is today. I've always had the idea to go with Tezzeret, but just recently pulled the trigger on him. I've watched a few deck techs on her and used edhrec, and it was kinda cool to see how artifacts slowly were added to the deck since most people went with enchantments at first. Because of this, I've actually shy'd away from looking at enchantments too much and missed Leyline of Anticipation I had planned on working on getting a Vedalken Orrery. the Leyline would definitely allow me to put more priority elsewhere until I can get the Orrery and makes a great compliment to Shimmer Myr

Well met, doughty traveler, and hereupon we must joust! You entreated my presence, and thence thou shalt be remunerated. I shall be oppugning your deck most perfidiously, yet you must fend off my awesome advice!

(Okay, I'm done.)

Let's do this.

Well, I have an artifact build of my own, thus I may be leastway some aid. (See Mr. Scarecrow)

In your deck updates you mentioned cutting Mystic Remora, but I find this card to be amazing whenever it is upon the field. Do you know how many decks run all creatures? Only those obsessed with Umori. Four mana is a severe tax, as this oft draws four or five cards or entirely ends the opponents' plans, merely due to them being afeard of you drawing too many cards.

Come on. Only 33 lands?! (Mine has 25.) I'd actually go down a few. Expedition Map can serve as a land-in-disguise, and Traveler's Amulet, as with Wanderer's Twig, each serve more late-game value just by being artifacts.

Go do your homework, young 'un. Should you not be studying for Tolaria West? This tutors for all sorts of trangams. Need defense for a combo? Pact of Negation! Wish to murder everything? Walking Ballista it shall be. It can also find an Inventors' Fair to find an artifact, and may stomp upon those foul graveyard players with a Tormod's Crypt.

So, let me teach you the glory of Academy Ruins, for you see, person, it is probably just better than Buried Ruin. It is repeatable and gets back all of those fun combo pieces if it must.

Dispatch is spicy, Swords is just better. Now, as much as I love spicy cards, I find it difficult to justify them when there is just a better option, in this case one that is unconditional. Dispatch may be active turn one on a good day, two or three on a normal day, but Swords to Plowshares is always ready.

Prepared for some bromidic options? Ichor Wellspring draws a lot, being one of the primary engines in my deck. Krark-Clan Ironworks ends the game upon resolution. Thirst for Knowledge is always solid, stocking the bin and sculpting the hand. If you can get ahold of one, Daddy-o does bloody everything.

Semblance Anvil, I choose you! I use fireblast! Pokémon aside, this casts the entirety of your hand. That cost reduction is no joke.

Now, upon my spicy choices:

I have said afore and I shall say once more, if the deck bears Dimir, you run Unfulfilled Desires. It goes through SO MANY CARDS. It lets you be mana efficient for those bloody turns where you have three just lying about and being indolent, whereat you may filter through three cards instead. This mayn't be card advantage, but it is amazing. Mana-flooded? Lovely! Mana-screwed? Still great! It is better than it reads, and it reads most meritoriously. Oh, and it's cheap, too. My card store had thirteen lazing within their shelves.

Turn Aside is fun, but have you seen the splendid Hindering Light? Of course you have, yet it draws a card, and therefrom I find reason enow to see to its inclusion. Only if you want, but it feels great.

Now, I much enjoy Supreme Will, for it leastwise cycles but may act as a lacking counterspell. Impulse goes in all of my blue decks, for it evermore pulls its weight. Moreover, I am rather fond of Painful Truths, as it draws quite a few cards withal much efficacy.

There are a sparse few things I would foredo.

Spellbook doesn't do anything. If you're drawing enough to be above seven, you should be winning the game instead of maintaining your hand. Call it clemency.

Scheming Symmetry gives the opponent a Pulverize. I am not fond of this card, though the political aspects are enticing.

I'm sure you don't wish to do so, but there are always banal options. Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Storm Crow, Vedalken Archmage, stuff of that ilk, but I shan't instill tedium by such suggestions.

May all luck have you!

Discussing payment, you must see my lovely Hazezon. Thank you very much.

Azeworai, whooo that is alot.

First, he defense of Spellbook the effect was nice, it was mainly put in for the free cast to storming. Now that I think about it, I did pull a Mishra's Bauble the other day that I could swap it out for.

You really think going lower than 33 lands could work? Perhaps I'll give it a try. I kind of like the idea of running cheap artifact land fetches. I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure how much lower on lands I could get away with.

Academy Ruins is definitely getting a slot when I pick one up, now that Double Masters has added more to the market, now might be the time to pick one up. Tolaria West had escaped my radar, and shall also receive a spot in the lands.

I had once thought about Semblance Anvil, but stopped looking at it once I got Cloud Key. If I do drop the lands, I can see the inclusion of this being vital. Thanks for putting it back on the radar.

Krark-Clan Ironworks is something I've thought about, but not quite sure exactly how to break it, yes, I know, I have Ashnod's Altar, but they are functionally different, despite their similarities. I keep going back and forth on Ichor Wellspring, and I suppose if I can figure out KCI, the value there is worth the spot.

I suppose you are right with Swords to Plowshares over Dispatch

Urza, Lord High Artificer I've been against, but have recently have started to look more into him.

Mystic Remora will be re-evaluated. Just I'm hyper focused on the artifacts.

Thank's for the look and suggestions. I'm off to work now, so I'll try to take a look at your deck later tonight/tomorrow morning.

Reznorboy I'll up your offer for spicyness here, if possible. No real theme outside of it being an artifact deck, kind of a Breya lite without the red. The decklist here is a little out of date, but that is okay, because I am essentially going to rebuild it. It got to be too powerful for my playgroup, and to the point where I didn't even know how to pilot it outside of spewing artifacts with Alela on board.

So, I actually really like the deck as is (and I think it is a lot better than even some of the best Alela decks I've seen in terms of power) BUT

I have an idea that I think is both good AND I don't think has ever been done before.

Alela ENCHANTMENT storm.

Basically, you would play cards like Treacherous Blessing and Sage's Reverie along with cards like Cleansing Meditation, Faith's Reward, Fragmentize, etc.

I can try to make a list later.

Reznorboy that is actually pretty encouraging and I'm glad I didn't tear it apart yet. I will take another look and play with it some more, maybe I just ran into a bad string of game. I am proud of this deck, I started on it when Alela first came out and very quickly turned my back on faerie tribal and went with artifacts it seems before anyone else really caught on to how powerful she can be as an artifact commander.

I like you idea for enchantment storm and even pondered taking her in that direction myself at one point, and will most likely go back to that idea if I ever convert this into a Breya list (which has also crossed my mind).
