Hey, nice budget version of Alela, but you forgot Sol Ring :)

My suggestions are to improve the mana. 30 lands is low with only 6 ramp sources. My advice is add 5 more lands or five more mana rocks or a combination of both.

• Exotic Orchard
• Path of Ancestry
• Caves of Koilos
• Sunken Hollow
• Esper Panorama

and/or

• Sol Ring
• Dimir Signet
• Azorius Signet
• Orzhov Signet
• Mind Stone

Cards to consider cutting:

• Shambling Suit
• Baneful Omen
• Kiora Bests the Sea God
• Norn's Annex
• Oppressive Will
• Cancel

---

Some upgrades to consider for repeatable draw:

• Bident of Thassa > Shoal Kraken
• Skullclamp > Blue Sun's Zenith
• Reconnaissance Mission > Arcanist's Owl

Bident and Mission are very good repeatable draw sources with Faeries since you draw a card for each creature who does combat damage to an opponent. When your Commander can create 1/1 creatures then Skullclamp is a reliable powerful draw source.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, Skullclamp is one of the better repeatable die effects with Teysa since drawing 4 cards each time you equip to a creature for 1 mana is very good value. Skullclamp could replace Wayfarer's Bauble. The maybeboard is packed full of good cards that could be upgrades and there's several budget cards there to consider adding.

• Arcane Signet
• Talisman of Hierarchy
• Viscera Seer
• Archon of Justice
• Sun Titan
• Court of Grace
• Demon's Disciple
• Woe Strider
• Solemn Simulacrum
• Kaya's Wrath
• Generous Gift
• High Market
• Tainted Field
• Temple of Silence

These cards could replace:

• Vivid Marsh
• Vivid Meadow
• Orzhov Guildgate
• Gavony Unhallowed
• Dauntless Cathar
• Voracious Null
• Unruly Mob
• Countless Gears Renegade
• Thallid Omnivore
• Bone Splinters
• Elixir of Immortality
• Fellwar Stone
• Thallid Soothsayer

Other good budget cards with Teysa: Dark Prophecy, Midnight Reaper, Dreadhorde Invasion, Victimize, Ministrant of Obligation, Marauding Blight-Priest, Path of Ancestry, Witch's Cottage, Esper Panorama, Ash Barrens.

Good luck with your deck.

RustedChainsaw on Alela's Artifacts

While 37 is the recommended number of lands, because of the large number of mana rocks in your deck and the relatively low CMC of your cards, you could probably cut 2-5 lands. I'd cut Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse, and Emergence Zone first as they are the "slowest". Esper Panorama would be a good substitute for Moorland Haunt - since you're three colors, I'd really limit the number of colorless-producing lands you run.

A couple of cheaper cards I would consider adding:

Favorable Winds

Etchings of the Chosen

Gravitational Shift

Arcanist's Owl

Darksteel Mutation

Propaganda

Ethereal Absolution

Confounding Conundrum

I would consider cutting:

Spirit Bonds - Reasoning: You're not casting enough creatures, Etchings of the Chosen would be a better way to protect your commander)

Cruel Celebrant - Reasoning: I feel you're not running enough ways to sacrifice creatures to get the full benefit

Faerie Formation - You shouldn't have any trouble making Faerie tokens since you already have Alela. There are cheaper ways to draw cards.

Skycat Sovereign - this is only good when you already have a lot of tokens, you'd be better off running an enchantment or artifact that can boost your tokens

Master Transmuter - most of your artifacts are already cheap, and "putting it into play" doesn't trigger Alela's ability - you won't get faeries when you activate this

StopShot on Opposition Agent needs a preemptive …

skoobysnackz, What about Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Ash Barrens, Fabled Passage, Prismatic Vista, Armillary Sphere, Bant Panorama, Esper Panorama, Grixis Panorama, Jund Panorama, Grixis Panorama, Blighted Woodland, Burnished Hart, Expedition Map, Myriad Landscape, Renegade Map, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Solemn Simulacrum, Sword of the Animist, Thaumatic Compass  ^Flip, Thawing Glaciers, Traveler's Amulet, Wanderer's Twig, Wayfarer's Bauble, or Wood Elves?

For some of the casual play groups I’ve been in Opposition Agent would really hose their ability to mana-fix and I can’t think of anything more annoying than sitting on removal you could use to take it out, but not having the right mana to cast it.

SirQuixano on ~PDH~ Danitha Mono-White Voltron

3 months ago

For removal, how about cards like Pacifism. I see you have Journey to nowhere, which is definitely better, but to shut down another creature from combat is quite useful, and devastating against certain voltron decks. It wont stop combo commanders, but is still nice to have.

For a deck with so much equipment, you might need a bit more ramp. Everflowing Chalice, Mind Stone, Orazca Relic, Bonder's Ornament, and Magnifying Glass can help you get the mana when you need it then you can ditch or use them for the card draw when you need it lategame.

Monocolored Utility lands may also be nice in some areas, since you aren't playing anything close to devotion, and in monocolored, colorless lands hurt you by a generally negligible amount. Cards like Radiant Fountain, Quicksand, Forge of Heroes, Cave of Temptation, and Haunted Fengraf are nice utility. You may also want to add the Panoramas that grab plains (Bant Panorama, Esper Panorama, and Naya Panorama + Warped Landscape) since you can landramp with them if you get a Scaretiller in play, and if you don't get him, they don't really affect you otherwise.

Hey, nice budget version of Teysa.

Some budget card upgrades to consider:

• Open the Armory > Night's Whisper
  Armory can get Skullclamp. If it's not getting Clamp than Deathmantle or Greaves or Animate or Dance.
  
  

• Leonin Relic-Warder > Serrated Scorpion
  Warder makes a dies loop with Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead or Necromancy and since you have all these enchantments then it fits right in. If you would like me to explain the interaction I will.
  
  

• Mirror Entity > Burnished Hart
  Entity can be repeatable pump for all tokens and Teysa or it's activated ability for zero can be the sac outlet to combo with Reveillark + Karmic Guide.
  
  

• Priest of Forgotten Gods > Flesh Carver
• Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim > Cartel Aristocrat
• Tithe Taker > Hunted Witness
• Victimize > Unearth
• Generous Gift > Mortify

Some budget lands to consider adding: High Market, Ash Barrens, Esper Panorama, Opal Palace, Orzhov Basilica.

Good luck with your deck.

DreadKhan on C-EDH Doomsday

Rhystic Study might be more impactful in a game than Phyrexian Arena. Grim Tutor might be a bit better than Beseech, but that's a small improvement.

Does Temple of the False God really work out that well in this deck? I feel like it'd be a struggle to get to 6 lands in Esper in cEDH, and at 30 lands it seems very unlikely unless I'm missing something. YMMV, but I'd consider Esper Panorama or maybe a dual with white in it like Skycloud Expanse?

DemMeowsephs on Mean girlfriend

Well I think one thing to help with CMC problems is to have a stronger mana base. If she has the budget, I would consider all of the lands below.

• Esper Panorama
• Watery Grave (I notice you already have this one)
• Hallowed Fountain
• Godless Shrine
• Drowned Catacomb
• Glacial Fortress
• Isolated Chapel
• Darkslick Shores
• Seachrome Coast
• Concealed Courtyard
• Underground River
• Adarkar Wastes
• Caves of Koilos (Silent Clearing?)
• Sunken Ruins
• Mystic Gate
• Twilight Mire
• Polluted Delta (Budget: Bad River)
• Flooded Strand (Budget: Flood Plain)
• Marsh Flats
• Sea of Clouds
• Morphic Pool
• Vault of Champions
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Exotic Orchard
• Strip Mine/Wasteland
• Forbidden Orchard
• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
• Gemstone Mine

• Gemstone Caverns

• Ok sorry that was kind of a lot- but trust me, a good mana base makes a good commander deck and these kind of lands could help A TON. Arcane Signet is also really good and worth checking out! If this helps be sure to check out some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH and A Deal With the Devil EDH, I would deeply appreciate it! Anyways though, good luck on your deck, hope this helps, and both of you have a great day! Happy tapping!
