I really like your take on the deck! I Love Alela, as you can do so many different things with her. One thing I'd suggest would be to include more combat-centered enchantments. I see you already have Etchings of the Chosen , which has absolutely overperformed in my test runs. I'd also suggest Intangible Virtue for the anthem and vigilance, as well as Radiant Destiny to really play into the faerie theme.

I'd also recommend Grafdigger's Cage because every deck needs some grave hate, and it's just so strong in this deck.

Finally, you can play Hall of Heliod's Generosity for your enchantment recursion and Academy Ruins for the artifact recursion.

like70bunnies thanks for the like. At first, I initially had it mapped out to be stax, then thought against it. I don't want to lose friends. My one friend showed me the commanders quarters mini episode of their budget edh 40 cards to add and I liked the idea of going with a Grand Architect build. While I haven't ruled out putting him back in for his anthem, focusing on him to generate mana didn't seem optimal since the only thing I had in here to pump that mana into was Steel Hellkite and while that is a nice effect, there wasn't much else to do with it. I looked into more artifact creatures, and saw how expensive the CCs for most are and my heart sunk, until my eyes landed on Master Transmuter . And, there we are. She's searchable and tutorable, cheats in big creatures, recast the cheap artifacts she switches out for the creatures with to still get my faeries, and creates sooo much value with transmuting out Baleful Strix .

Obviously, we are on the same page with upping the anthem package. I don't want to convolute the slots with anthems, so I guess, I'm asking what do you think is the ideal number. 5 Anthems, 5 Removals, 3 Bounce, 7 counters, 7 draw, plus the rest of the deck.

Then remove some faeries for the mana dork myrs, and a couple more big artifact creatures.
