Sleep-Cursed Faerie is pretty strong I think. Maybe also one of the Kaitos? Bitterblossom almost seems better than Bitterbloom Bearer because it's harder to remove, idk though there could be upsides to both. Brazen Borrower is another good faerie. I am seeing some cool looking more control-heavy faeries lists on mtgdecks that have performed well maybe look at some of them for inspo? Maybe try something with ninjutsu to bounce your sprites like in pauper? Maybe the Kaito THAT HAS NINJUTSU lol Kaito, Bane of Nightmares. Overall I like the budget of yours and all the efficient faeries-matter spells, +1 from me

If you're referring to my name being a 40k reference I'm afraid it's not. Its actually a starcraft mashup between the high templar unit and its ability psionic storm. 40k isn't something I know much about although I think it is neat. Just don't have anywhere near enough time or money to be starting new hobbies lol.

Deck wise though it is definitely looking better with the additional lands and trimmed spell selection. I do think shardless probably should have stayed though and removed temur instead to maximize early cascades. You can fix your mana pretty well with the fetches as it currently stands. Otherwise, maybe consider some of the old staples such as Brazen Borrower for more interaction and you should be pretty well equiped to compete. Looking at old lists can give you some good ideas to explore as well. Good luck out there.

Oh wow is Brazen Borrower really that cheap now? I need to grab a few. Last time I checked it was $12+. Anyway, yeah it’s a faerie staple so I’ll join those saying ‘run it’.

Some creatures to consider to give you a better early game:

Picklock Prankster - Can be played to dig for more cards at instant speed (faeries or instant spells), and is a cheap creature to play.

Hypnotic Sprite - Option to play as counter and play as creature makes it a useful card. Not high power, but playable.

Spellstutter Sprite - Probably one of the best faeries you can play as it is a cheap flash creature that serves as counter magic.

Faerie Miscreant - A decent one drop option. Only really useful to give you early board presence that helps with Spellstuter Sprite, but also chance to give you card draw if you can open with more then 1 copy.

If you can afford:

Brazen Borrower - One of the best aggressive creature options you have that also serves as early bounce. Understable that it is hard to obtain due to cost ($$$), but if you can use them I would definetly say this would be a must for this kind of deck.

Cards I would remove:

Wasp Lancer - To slow and over costed

Glen Elendra Liege - Not enough multi colored creatures to take proper advantage of its bonus.

Cards I would trim copies:

High Fae Trickster - Would only run up to 2 copies due to high mana value of card. Personally would not use.

Faerie Swarm - overcosted if you don't have creatures on board, if you have creatures you might already be winning due to flying aggro. Maybe 1 or 2 copies in deck.

Oona, Queen of the Fae - Very late game card in a deck that doesn't really have a way to build to late game, seems like bad fit for this deck. Would only use it as a one of fun of, but ultimately cut.

Lastly I would suggest maybe some cheaper bounce spells like Fading Hope so it is easier to do something like bounce a threat and counterspell it on its way back to the board. Fading hope adds extra bonus to get some scry action and even can be used on own creatures as a form of protection.

Hi Thor1394,

So before I give too many suggestions, can I ask what is the overall game plan? Do you have particular budget restrictions etc?

I would say, I did make this deck myself, and whilst it was pretty good, the play style was not for me. That being said, as your commander has pay off for playing in other peoples turns, may be best to have some additional payoffs as well. I was a big fan of Wavebreak Hippocamp to keep you with card draw, and also Hullbreaker Horror. I get they are both not Faeries, but they are really really useful. Maybe you could get an alter with a Horror with Faerie wings? lol.

Additionally to that, Cloudstone Curio lets you bounce you own flash creatures to your hand, to play again. Also really good once you have played your Brazen Borrower type adventure cards as.... you can use those adventures again.

Will look more and give more ideas in a bit, but good luck on building it, and +1

xtechnetia on Bounce creature with benefits

If you're specifically looking for mana after bouncing a creature (via Treasure token or whatever), there's Depths of Desire.

If you want any benefit in general, there's stuff like Fading Hope, Brazen Borrower (you get the creature on adventure), Baral's Expertise, Absorb Identity, etc. Just search Scryfall for cards with "return" and "creature" in their text.
