Faerie Infestation by user3237436

Commander: Alela, Cunning Conqueror

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a flash-speed spells-matter deck that converts instants and sorceries into an evasive token army. Alela, Cunning Conqueror is the primary engine: by holding mana open and casting a first spell on each opponent's turn, the deck creates Faerie Rogue tokens and goads blockers. Secondary engines such as Talrand, Chrome Host Seedshark, Lord of the Nazgul, and Metallurgic Summonings keep the plan working even if Alela is unavailable. It wins through incremental flying combat damage, backed by anthems like Favorable Winds, Tegwyll, and Patchwork Banner, while counterspells and removal protect the board. There is no infinite combo; the game plan is tempo, card advantage, and a wide flyer swarm.
