Rules Q&A
Alora, Merry Thief
Legendary Creature — Halfling Rogue
Whenever you attack, up to one target attacking creature can't be blocked this turn. Return that creature to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.
Choose a Background. (You can have a Background as a second commander.)

Let's say I have an Alora, Merry Thief in play and I target a creature I reanimated with Dawn of the Dead. What would happen to the creature at the end of my turn, would it go into exile or into my hand?

I’ve found in my adventure deck that it’s really helpful to have effects that bounce creatures back to your hand, like Flood of Tears and Crush of Tentacles, are very helpful allowing you to cast your adventures all over again. Alora, Merry Thief is also good for this plus can get you past a wall of creatures your opponents may have set up. Enjoy the adventure!

Yup did it. Commander changed to Safana, Calimport Cutthroat and Dungeon Delver
Also:
Removed
- Alora, Merry Thief all the reasons specified above
- Gonti, Lord of Luxury was a for-fun place filler, now have more dedicated cards to put in.
- Plaguecrafter have asymmetric board wipes, this guy making me sacrifice was too far
- Hooded Blightfang commander no longer hands out deathtouch like candy so less synergistic.
Added
- Agent of the Shadow Thieves basically voltron on a stick.
- Marchesa's Decree why not add monarch? I already make myself hard to hit.
- Krydle of Baldur's Gate excellent replacement for alora's unblockable effect
- Reconnaissance Mission moar card draw!

Another option would be Imoen, Mystic Trickster partnered with Agent of the Shadow Thieves though I think I like Safana better.
Also considering removing Alora, Merry Thief. The unblockable is nice but the bouncing back to hand is just not nearly that helpful and I find myself just choosing not to activate her abilities more often than not.

Also Seedborn Muse can make it so you can cast all the instant adventures and Alora, Merry Thief can not only get your creatures through, but then return them to had to recast the adventure spell side all over again.

iwulf411 Hey, thanks for your comment! I don't understand what do you mean when you say that I don't have any means to make Zareth unblockable? I have at least 6 cards in the deck that make him unblockable (Alora, Merry Thief, Krydle of Baldur's Gate, Rogue's Passage, Thassa, God of the Sea, Whirler Rogue, Whispersilk Cloak) and 2 cards that give him pretty good evasion (Mask of Riddles, Shizo, Death's Storehouse).
True, I could change my commander but then I would have to rebuild the deck in a different way since this build is centered around Zareth San being my commander.
If you think you have better cards in mind than what I have in my deck currently, please be so kind to suggest those.
