Deck overview

This is a Dimir Faerie tribal flash-control deck helmed by Alela, Cunning Conqueror. The core plan is to play almost entirely on opponents' turns-flashing in Faeries, countering spells, and triggering Alela's token generation whenever you cast your first spell during each opponent's turn. Alela's second ability goads creatures whenever Faeries deal combat damage, letting the deck dictate combat from the command zone. The win condition is a growing Faerie swarm, pumped by lords like Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor, Scion of Oona, and Shadow Puppeteers (which turns attackers into 4/4 Dragons), accelerated by Notorious Throng for an extra turn. The deck is a classic draw-go control shell with a dense counterspell suite and removal covering all permanent types.
