Tsukimi on Fae Dominion- control upgrade

Hey, nice Alela deck! I would definitely recommend Alexi's Cloak and Blessing of Leeches as both work as instant speed (and then ongoing) protection for your commander, who is a beacon for removal.

If you're looking for more suggestions, from buffing your faeries with additional pieces like Heraldic Banner, to Nettling Nuisance for a different take on control and goading, to interesting typal support like Mari, the Killing Quill, I'd recommend checking out my primer: Alela's Huge Goads [Primer]

Using Blessing of Leeches or other regenerate abilities taps the creature in question. I think that might interfere with your combos

Sweet! Kindred Discovery looks a little on the expensive side, both in regards of imaginary money budget and looking at the mana value. This deck grinds very well in though due to goading large threats, and such a stable card engine might be worth the five mana to play it. So maybe it will find a spot in the future!

I did take a look at your deck too, and realized Alexi's Cloak, Raise the Draugr and Mari, the Killing Quill all look super good for the deck, so I added them here too! I also added Blessing of Leeches as an Alexi's Cloak at home, since protective auras with flash seem like such a good idea.

Dazard The Soul Channeling and Blessing of Leeches were specifically for a combo related to Pestilence or Pestilence Rats since you were looking for combos. I understand! I made a sac-outlet deck for rakdos, so if you want any more black suggestions, check my lagamos PEDH deck! Best of luck!

Well first thing that stands out is that you need more mana, probably 35 lands plus a few more rocks - if there was any deck to use a Sol Ring in, it's one where your commander costs six! Given you're not running many tapped lands anyway some of the extras could be filled in by the ZNR DFCs like Hagra Mauling  ^Flip, giving you more lands if you need them without sacrificing spell slots. Once you're making sure that the deck is consistent in getting there you could also then add some bigger creatures or other finishers, safe in the knowledge that you should be able to hardcast cast them most games (and given how much life you can gain recurring 6/7 drops should be easy enough). Speaking of might be worth at least CONSIDERING other graveyard stockers/reanimator spells such as Unmarked Grave/Reanimate in case Rudolf is indesposed or you have to recover from a board wipe. Given how easy it is for you to make Rudolf indestructible board wipes are going to be a great friend - being in white you can take the slightly cheaper Wrath of God/Day of Judgment over Damnation, then get a bit more spenny with Toxic Deluge/The Meathook Massacre or pay a bit of extra mana to get flexibility in Merciless Eviction/Austere Command. Essence Pulse and Fumigate gain life as well. Similarly you're in the best colours for spot removal: ditch Disenchant and the cards which give -x/-x (they might not get the job done on a big boi) and get Vindicate/Mortify/Anguished Unmaking/Fateful Absence/Path to Exile. The deck is also quite commander-centred, meaning that lasting protection for the main man is more important than an instant which saves him once. Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots are the classics but I like Blessing of Leeches in commander as you can regenerate for free as many times as you need per turn while the life loss is meaningless to you. Otherwise you might want see if my Licia deck (Reign in Blood) has anything you like the look of.

Coat of Arms usually helps your opponents more than you. Obelisk of Urd might be more helpful.

If you boss is getting whacked Blessing of Leeches is nice defense.

Astarion's Thirst is thematic and can make your boss a beast.

Blood Tribute is terrifying.

Anowon's ability is a triggered effect so if you double the trigger (with Strionic Resonator of any of a few other artifacts) you make people sac twice as many creatures.
