Alela Cunning Conquerer by Peachywalrus

Format: Commander

Commander: Alela, Cunning Conqueror

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Alela, Cunning Conqueror leads a flash-Faerie tempo deck: cast spells on opponents' turns, build a flying Faerie army, and use goad to keep opposing creatures away. Bitterblossom is the hidden commander, supplying a token every upkeep. The primary plan is a midgame alpha strike with pumped flyers (Tegwyll, Scion of Oona, Door of Destinies, Shadow Puppeteers), often finished by Notorious Throng's extra turn. A secondary grind path uses Bident of Thassa, Kindred Discovery, and Tegwyll's draw to bury opponents in card advantage while counterspells and bounce control the board. The commander is a token engine and goad outlet, not an infinite combo piece.
