Alela - Cunning Conqueror by Harrigan

Format: Commander

Commander: Alela, Cunning Conqueror

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Dimir Faerie flash deck that plays a controlling, counter-heavy game and wins by burying opponents under Faerie tokens. Alela, Cunning Conqueror is the primary engine: every first spell cast on an opponent's turn grows the Faerie army, and combat damage goads enemy creatures, keeping the board safe. The deck aims to keep the stack locked down with a high density of counterspells and instant-speed removal, then kill with a swarm of flying Rogues plus life-loss from Obyra and Faerie Tauntings. Its secondary play is the Hullbreaker Horror + Sol Ring mana loop, though it lacks an immediate kill outlet, so sustained token pressure remains the primary route.
