ironmindraph on Alela's Air Force Squadron (flying matters)

Thanks for the comment unstable_anomaly

Most of the time if I start with 3 manas or 2 manas and a free mana rock, this isn't an issue at all considering the low cmc of the deck (2,71). I can't affort putting myself in a situation where I flood out of mana.

That said, I might have to consider Coastal Piracy and adding one more mana slot. I don't wanna trade with Phyrexian Arena nor Tocasia's welcome throught because drawing is the key of the deck's mechanic. I've already though about replacing Sphere of Safety by No Mercy.

I'm not a big fan of Anointed Procession since it does nothing on it's own and the fact that it's a kill on sight enchantement. I've already tried it last year but I wasn't able to get enough value out of it.

Never heard about Harsh Mercy before but it looks like an incredible board wipe I should highly consider. Thanks a lot for the hint there.

I already play Meathook Massacre in another deck so i don't want it in here.

Again, thanks :)

Your land count makes me nervous, do you ever have any issues with mana?

Also Coastal Piracy is a strict upgrade over Phyrexian Arena / Tocasia's Welcome. All That Glitters and Stoneforge Masterwork can allow for an easy one shot with your commander and gain a ton of life in the process. No Mercy is also a great card for an Alela deck. Harsh Mercy is a one sided board wipe most of the time. The Meathook Massacre can also sometimes be one sided, and will double as a finisher if you kill enough of your own creatures.

Would also highly recommend Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus.

Windreader Sphinx Magus of the Moat Maybe Scouting Hawk I love Medomai the Ageless And to actually win the game maybe True Conviction or a bunch of extra turn spells. I would cut Dictate of Heliod and Always Watching and slot Kangee, Sky Warden and maybe Kangee's Lieutenant or Thunderclap Wyvern Also Coastal Piracy and Bident of Thassa seem like theyre worth finding a place for maybe cutting Behold the Multiverse and a wipe. Reveillark and Karmic Guide seem reasonable. I dont know about the 3cmc cantrip flyers without blinking or recurring them. Idk. Cool list tho. I have a blue white kangee deck but I don't have it online. I built it for the same reason, to play against low power decks, but still tough to close out games. Akroma's Will is one great way you already included. GL!

Nature's Lore, Three Visits, Masked Vandal, Heroic Intervention, Boros Charm, Species Specialist, Kargan Intimidator, Dusk / Dawn, Dowsing Dagger  ^Flip, Kindred Discovery, Kindred Dominance, Kindred Summons, Bojuka Bog, Scavenger Grounds are all worth consideration

I'd take out: Sol Ring Most of your mana costs are colored. Explore replace with better ramp as suggested above. Derevi, Empyrial Tactician not sure what this does here. Thassa's Oracle you're not looking to mill yourself out. Brainstorm only good if you can shuffle your library regularly such as with fetch lands. Demonic Consultation you're not looking for specific combo pieces Spell Pierce. You want to be spending your mana early, not keeping this up. Same with Mana Drain. Rally the Ranks. If you're gonna do this kind of effect, use something nicer like Realmwalker Coastal Piracy. Doesn't seem as good here as Kindred Discovery

Also think you can cut a couple lands given that your mana curve stops at 6. Or replace them with lands like Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip and Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip

I would suggest running more card draw. Fortunately there's a LOT of options in these colors.

Coastal Piracy is another recon mission/bident variant. Skullclamp is great in token decks. Plumb the Forbidden is an excellent answer to boardwipes that fills your grip up for redeploying. Tocasia's Welcome triggers off your tokens and anything else cmc 3 or less. Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip isn't a faerie but with enough draw power, this guy can hit for a ton of damage. Shadrix Silverquill will typically go wide with +1+1 counters (which is amazing on a flying army) but he does have a draw option.

On the note of +1+1 counters, consider Cathars' Crusade, Felidar Retreat, and Drana, Liberator of Malakir. Archangel of Thune is a bit pricier but is downright amazing here (if you add it, I recommend Authority of the Consuls with it). Divine Visitation is another way to pump up your damage output with this much token production.

Nice deck but I do think this thing needs more draw power. Reconnaissance Mission, Coastal Piracy, and Bident of Thassa will all draw a bunch of cards. Vault of the Archangel and just the THREAT of activation makes it worth running. Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip I've had good success out of. Plumb the Forbidden in response to a boardwipe ensures you have a full grip on your turn.90

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Same commander but I run more of a +1+1 counter subtheme. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Alela's Aerodynamics: A Crash Course

You gotta run Coastal Piracy over Recon Mission for the flavor lol (or both).

I would recommend running a lot more draw engines... fortunately there's a LOT of budget(ish) friendly options in these colors.

Reconnaissance Mission, Bident of Thassa, and Coastal Piracy are some of your best options here. Skullclamp, Court of Grace, Plumb the Forbidden, Tocasia's Welcome, and Mystic Remora are all options that fit your theme. A few creatures that draw cards but are outside your tribe worth considering include Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip, Aerial Extortionist, and Welcoming Vampire.

I would also recommend making room for Azorius Signet, Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Hierarchy, Talisman of Progress, Arcane Signet, and Fellwar Stone.
