Gravitational Shift is offense and defense.

Lightmine Field looks like it kills your fairies. That's my second favorite flavor text in the game though.

Notorious Throng and Stolen by the Fae

Helm of the Ghastlord maybe?

If you put in Cathars' Crusade a combo-wincon would be Dovescape. Not fairies but they are flyers and you have some flyer buffs already. You just need to make sure yours are bigger than theirs.

carpecanum Great suggestions, thanks! Don't know how I missed some of those.

Lightmine was leftover from when this was a more defensive deck that I forgot to remove. Whoops!

Hey, nice budget version of Alela, but you forgot Sol Ring :)

My suggestions are to improve the mana. 30 lands is low with only 6 ramp sources. My advice is add 5 more lands or five more mana rocks or a combination of both.

• Exotic Orchard
• Path of Ancestry
• Caves of Koilos
• Sunken Hollow
• Esper Panorama

and/or

• Sol Ring
• Dimir Signet
• Azorius Signet
• Orzhov Signet
• Mind Stone

Cards to consider cutting:

• Shambling Suit
• Baneful Omen
• Kiora Bests the Sea God
• Norn's Annex
• Oppressive Will
• Cancel

Some upgrades to consider for repeatable draw:

• Bident of Thassa > Shoal Kraken
• Skullclamp > Blue Sun's Zenith
• Reconnaissance Mission > Arcanist's Owl

Bident and Mission are very good repeatable draw sources with Faeries since you draw a card for each creature who does combat damage to an opponent. When your Commander can create 1/1 creatures then Skullclamp is a reliable powerful draw source.

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia, I can't believe I forgot to add my Sol Ring! How can I ever call myself an EDH player??

The number of lands/mana sources is actually something I've been playing with, so I appreciate your opinion on that. I'll definitely take that into consideration.

Great suggestions, thank you!

Hey, you're welcome.

An advantage that Alela has is with mana rocks because rocks are good early game for ramp and also give you value because of Alela mid/late game. This is very helpful to get value from rocks really at any time of a game because usually it sucks to draw rocks after not needing them for ramp.

Looks good. You might consider these: Coat of Arms , Konda's Banner , Heraldic Banner , Hall of Triumph , Obelisk of Urd , Metallic Mimic , Adaptive Automaton , Larceny , Ajani's Welcome , Bastion of Remembrance , Flickering Ward , Shimmering Wings , Mark of Eviction , Sigil of Sleep , Pentad Prism , Coastal Piracy

Oh and Distant Melody

king-saproling Thanks for the tips! Those artifacts will definitely help support the faerie tribal-ness of this deck.

This deck is a really cool enchantment variant for Alela! Definitely got some inspiration from yours on top of the (very much appreciated!) suggestions you made for mine.

Have you considered Archetype of Imagination? It triggers Alela, and it knocks down all blockers, allowing the Fae to flit over unopposed!

Vessiliana Yes, I have! I have a copy that used to be in this deck set aside. I have major trouble deciding what to cut from any of my decks. I'll definitely reconsider working him in again. Thank you for the tip!

Well, I hate to be adding to your difficulty of choosing cuts, but Favorable Winds is a good one, too, buffing all your team and creating a Faerie?

Vessiliana: Used to have that one too! Until I decided to take it out for some reason. Now that you got me thinking about it, I decided to make a handful of changes to this deck, including adding in Archetype and Winds.

Thanks again!

Nice deck but I do think this thing needs more draw power. Reconnaissance Mission, Coastal Piracy, and Bident of Thassa will all draw a bunch of cards. Vault of the Archangel and just the THREAT of activation makes it worth running. Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip I've had good success out of. Plumb the Forbidden in response to a boardwipe ensures you have a full grip on your turn.90

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Same commander but I run more of a +1+1 counter subtheme. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Alela's Aerodynamics: A Crash Course
