My take on building around the new Alela, Cunning Conquerer! Faerie typal with a splash of flash! And rouges and goad.

I was excited to finally see a fun faerie commander, I didn't wait for spoilers to finsih before building this. I would really love some feedback because blue black isn't my normal playstyle. There's a good chance I could forgo Leyline of Anticipation and Vedalken Orrery all together because I have enough instants/creatures with flash but I won't have a chance to playtest it for another week or so.

Essentially as of now I am trying to find a balance between instants and being able to run cards like crystal shard and potentially equilibrium and Glen elendra pranksters to be able to replay smaller faeries over and over again. Please let me know what you think!
