Alela, Cunning Conqueror by Cryotine

Format: Commander

Commander: Alela, Cunning Conqueror

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Alela, Cunning Conqueror is the engine of a UB flash Faerie tempo deck. The primary plan is to stay untapped, cast flash Faeries on opponents' turns to trigger Alela's token generation, and then convert a wide evasive army into combat wins while goading the best enemy blockers. Secondary lines include Notorious Throng after Rogue combat damage, either as a one-sided Overrun or with prowl for an extra turn, and Reins of Power to steal an opposing alpha strike. Alela is both a token engine and a deterrent; the deck still has Bitterblossom and Obyra to grind without her. There is no hidden commander; the supporting legends are just excellent lieutenants.
