Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Alela, Artful Provocateur runs a go-wide Esper Faerie deck that converts cheap artifacts and enchantments into flying tokens. The primary path is a one-turn alpha strike: spam noncreature spells, multiply tokens with Elspeth, Storm Slayer, Exalted Sunborn, and Roaming Throne, then turn that board sideways under Kinbinding and other anthems. A secondary path is a more resilient midrange flyer game, using Alela as a lifelinking blocker/finisher and suiting her with All That Glitters or Helm of the Ghastlord. Card draw from Caretaker's Talent, Welcoming Vampire, and Bident of Thassa keeps the engine stocked. There is no infinite combo; Bolas's Citadel and Smothering Tithe provide mana and advantage but do not create an automatic win. Commander dependency is moderate because Alela amplifies token production but is not the only source.
