Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir flash tempo strategy commanded by Alela, Cunning Conqueror. It focuses on casting instant-speed spells during each opponent's turn to generate an army of 1/1 flying Faerie Rogue tokens. By dealing combat damage with these evasive flyers, the deck goads opposing threats to manipulate combat steps and force opponents to whittle down each other's life totals. Efficient 1- and 2-mana interaction spells serve a dual purpose: answering key opposing threats and triggering token creation on every rotation. Card draw engines such as Reconnaissance Mission, Nymris, Oona's Trickster, and Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor keep your hand full of counterspells and removal. The endgame transitions from chip damage to a decisive clock using Shadow Puppeteers to transform the Faerie swarm into 4/4 flying Dragons, closing the game around Turn 8.
