Faerie like Shiny! by DataPriest

Format: Commander

Commander: Alela, Artful Provocateur

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Alela, Artful Provocateur leads an Esper artifact combo deck that wins by looping cheap artifacts for infinite casts and mana. The main engine combines cost reducers (Foundry Inspector, Etherium Sculptor, Cloud Key, Semblance Anvil) with sac outlets (Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks) and recursion (Myr Retriever, Scrap Trawler) plus Sensei's Divining Top and The Reality Chip to generate infinite storm. A second loop is Enduring Renewal + Ashnod's Altar + Ornithopter for infinite ETBs. Alela is a multiplier, not required for combos, creating flying Faeries and pumping fliers for fodder and an alternate combat win with Cranial Plating and All That Glitters. Sai, Master Thopterist and Emry provide hidden engine value, while Aetherflux Reservoir and Marionette Apprentice convert loops into damage.
