Alela Lifegain by picklechicken69

Format: Commander

Commander: Alela, Artful Provocateur

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Alela, Artful Provocateur is the engine of a faerie token deck, but not the only win condition. The deck has no hidden commander or alternate face; it wants to play artifacts and enchantments after Alela, turning each spell into a Faerie token, then snowball with lords, draw, and lifelink. Its primary finish is a life-drain loop: Exquisite Blood plus Sanguine Bond, Starscape Cleric, or Vizkopa Guildmage's activated ability, started by any lifegain or opponent life-loss event. Notorious Throng and Akroma's Will act as backup finishers if the combo does not appear. The strategy is a hybrid: an evasive flyer footprint, a slow value engine, and a compact two-piece combo finish.
