Deck overview

This deck is an Esper tokens and flying aggro strategy commanded by Alela, Artful Provocateur. It focuses on casting cheap artifacts, Equipment, and Auras to steadily amass an army of evasive 1/1 Faerie tokens. Key synergies incorporate Job select Equipment, goad Auras, and combat-triggered card draw engines such as Enduring Curiosity and Curiosity Crafter. The deck transitions into the mid-to-late game by leveraging anthems and potent legendary flyers like Akroma, Vision of Ixidor and Dion, Bahamut's Dominant to scale damage and close out games through the air.
