KongMing on Should Coastal Piracy have the …

Coastal Piracy, as is, but with the subtype Pirate. Better reprints like Bident of Thassa and Reconnaissance Mission have been printed, so it wouldn't break any power ceilings.

plakjekaas on What is your favorite mono …

How can you be into mono blue without actually having a deck to play in the color? Is it a favorite constructed deck that you'd like to translate to commander? How can you like the color most, if after months of starting topics about this, you didn't even settle on a commander yet? That makes it hard to help you.

I personally detest mono blue, I only made a Brawl deck to make sure I can efficiently do my dailies on Arena if they're blue. My commander of choice is Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar. With a bunch of evasive creatures, Coastal Piracy-effects and interaction, you can keep busy casting spells all the time, and it resembles the mono blue standard decks of the past decade.

Last_Laugh on Alela's Artifacts Makes Tokens Do Stuff

Nice to see another Alela list and good job keeping your avg mana cost low. I have some suggestions for you and I'll try to break it down by category and keep things budget friendly. If you're picking up what I'm putting down and need help with suggested cuts, just holler.

CARD DRAW:

Breena, the Demagogue is amazing here. It incentivizes opponents to attack one another for card draw while your creatures get the +1+1 counters and you get the draw/counters twice for attacking the 2 opponents with higher life.

Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip brings the Monarch mechanic into the game which will draw you an extra card at your end step but you'll also smack an opponent for 2 for every card you draw while you're the Monarch.

Plumb the Forbidden in response to a boardwipe ensures you have a grip full of cards to redeploy. Instant speed and pseudo dodging counterspells makes this card.

Reconnaissance Mission/Bident of Thassa/The Indomitable/Coastal Piracy - I personally run 3 of these effects... they will draw you a ton of cards.

CREATURE BUFFS:

Skyhunter Strike Force will buff all your attackers +3+3 just for attacking all 3 opponents. Bonus points for not needing to attack itself.

Nykthos Paragon because your commander is an evasive lifelinker and this guy is an enchantment. The low bar here is you hit for 2 with Alela and everyone gets 2x +1+1 counters, then 4 the next turn, then 8, and that's assuming Alela only had 2 power to start.

Felidar Retreat is another go-wide counters effect that works wonders here.

MISC.:

Fanatical Devotion let's you sac tokens to save your actual creatures.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Alela's Aerodynamics: A Crash Course

I'd swap Graceful Adept for Library of Leng. Cheaper, harder to remove, and added bonus against discard.

Cancel for any other counterspell. There are plenty of 1UU with upside such as personal favorite of mine, Admiral's Order. Rewind, Dissipate, Unwind and Negate are also solid budget options. Personally not a fan of Mana Leak-esk counters since if an opponent has a ton of Mana, they become useless. Also, Defense Grid is an odd choice for a blue deck since it hurts your own counters on your opponents turn.

I'd consider trying to find room for a card or cards like Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, and The Indomitable.

Single protection to consider, Mithril Coat is amazing, Commander's Plate always pulls a ton of weight in mon color (may hurt commander's unblockable agaimst another monoblue but otherwise really helps), Dive Down not amazing, just a pet card when it was in standard.

Ohran Frostfang, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Reconnaissance Mission, Bident of Thassa, Coastal Piracy, The Indomitable, Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor, and Marcus, Mutant Mayor are all excellent draw engines here. I personally recommend running 3-5 of these but especially Ohran.

NV_1980 on U/B/R Pirates

Some ideas to add to the theme/tribalism of your deck :)

• Blatant Thievery/Bribery/Expropriate/Insurrection: Take what you can, give nothing back!
• Breeches, Brazen Plunderer: is awesome at helping you steal your opponents' stuff.
• Coastal Piracy: lots of potential draw and very much in theme.
• Coercive Recruiter: another awesome card for stealing stuff, this time for opposing creatures already on the battlefield.
• Fathom Fleet Captain: yay, a pirate-generator!
• Kukemssa Pirates: now we're stealing artifacts too!
• Ruthless Knave: sacrifice the creature you just stole and create some treasure tokens instead.
• Zephyr Singer: wait, what?! FLYING pirates?

Ghool on Kira the Thief

Sceptre of Eternal Glory is nice, use it in two other decks. Throne of Eldraine pretty good too speaking of mana and draw.

Mind Stone I run in pretty much every other deck, great card and most likely getting added.

There's a few high cost cards I'm not getting enough out of such as Archetype of Imagination and Stormtide Leviathan for example that will most likely be removed. The aforementioned Shadowspear has been weak since hexproof has not really been an issue. Don't need both Bident of Thassa and Coastal Piracy so one could be replaced.

Added Capsize and Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage a few days ago. I believe they'll be nice additions.

Come December I hope to be updating this thing and it already plays quite well right now. If you have any ideas for cards that might work well besides ramp please list them. I was looking at cards like Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant, but the mana cost seven is higher than I want (been working on reducing the mana cost of my decks). Things that steal or drastically slow down opponents are great.

Goldbranner on Goro-Goro and Satoru - Explosive Entry (v0.3)

My build is not as focused on tokens, but I think Lagomos, Hand of Hatred is an upgrade over a couple of your other producers, his tokens are more reliable to hit than some of the 1/1 tokens. Elturel Survivors similarly is probably better than your other myriad creatures. Genasi Enforcers also is a solid turn 2 play before Goro, you're much more likely to hit with those tokens on turn 3 than with the Banshee's on turn 6. I like your Reconnaissance mission, and in my experience having multiple of those effects is worth the slots especially for your token build where you have an engine often before goro-goro is cast. You won't regret any number of Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor, Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar, Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, or the new card The Indomitable. I think Decadent Dragon isn't a great fit, I noticed it on the recent edhrec suggestions for not much reason ;)
