Deck overview

This is a Dimir flash/faerie control deck built around Alela, Cunning Conqueror. There is no hidden commander; the deck leans on Alela's opponent-turn trigger, with Bitterblossom and Mystic token generators as backups. The primary plan is to keep the table in check with instant-speed interaction, build a flying faerie army, goad opposing creatures, and pressure with evasive chip damage. Secondary paths use Fireshrieker to turn Alela into a double-strike clock or set up Wound Reflection plus Exquisite Blood and finish with Exsanguinate. Braids, Arisen Nightmare adds repeatable drain and card draw. The deck is robust against creatures but weak to enchantment stax and lacks a compact combo or tutor.
