Phelgming. Launch the Fleet is a very awesome card for what i am doing and a great alpha strike enabler i will have to try and fit that in. i have looked at Blessed Alliance and want to make it fit but not sure where and how to put it i have decent control atm but it never hurts to have more in my playgroup. Blinding Beam may have to make it in though it would help in games vs my playgroup.

Thanks for the suggestions! and the upvote!

What do you think of Launch the Fleet , Rolling Thunder , Grapeshot , Blessed Alliance , and Blinding Beam ?

I actually think Staff of the Flame Magus or Blinding Beam are the weak links you could take out first before taking out another ramp card, but if you want to keep both of those and trade ramp for ramp I’d say to drop Grow from the Ashes .

White needs a flavor adjustment. Prey counters shouldn't make something indestructible.

Maybe create a raptor token for each creature with a prey counter? That would highlight the flavor of them being hunted.

Or, if you wanted to stick with Primal Dawn, you could channel Blinding Beam flavor and sleep all creatures with prey counters on ETB.

Could even go the Humility route and strip those creatures of abilities and/or make them 1/1s

Aurelia's Command Tapping down the enemy's creatures is a thing, you can see some cards here. I stopped before I even got 1/3rd of the way through that list but here are some examples.

Akroan Jailer
Akroan Mastiff
Alaborn Cavalier
Angelic Benediction
Avacynian Priest
Aysen Bureaucrats
Ballynock Trapper
Benalish Trapper
Blinding Beam
Blinding Mage

One thing I will say though is I like how for every other command there are multiple combinations that are all great together. Like Jarad is deathtouch and then the +1/+1 and trample. Niv MIzzix is Copy a spell and change target or change target and draw (so it even works against Abrupt Decay!). Aurelia's Command just seems lacking.
