Faerie Vandal

Creature — Faerie Rogue

Flash (You may cast this spell at any time you could cast an instant.)

I don't have a ton of experience in second draw / second cast decks, but I do know that you'll probably get more value out of threats that come down early and start accruing permanent advantage. Bloodhaze Wolverine fails the latter check, and Steelgaze Griffin fails both. I'd look at cards that get counters (Knowledge Seeker, Faerie Vandal, or even Kraum, Violent Cacophony with built-in card draw) and/or I'd look at making tokens (Mischievous Mystic, Emrakul's Messenger, Homunculus Horde, or Thopter Fabricator) In your colors, I might consider Irencrag Pyromancer for the removal too. The next step is to make sure you have a reliable source for drawing every turn. Looting with Evie Frye and Merchant of the Vale is fine but comes with a heavy upfront cost. I'd prefer to consolidate the deck around cheap fliers or other even more evasive creatures to play into cheaper Coastal Piracy effects like Curiosity and Curious Obsession. Faerie Mastermind is another great include if you don't mind a little bit of symmetry. With or without Improbable Alliance itself, there are a lot of powerful faerie-themed cards available to the strategy. It could be worth going into black or full pivoting to dimir for other tribal staples like Bitterblossom, Bitterbloom Bearer, Spellstutter Sprite, Vendilion Clique, Obyra, Dreaming Duelist, Scion of Oona, etc. This also makes cards like Banner of Kinship way better. If you prefer to stay in red though, and given the types of Tormenting Voice and cantrip effects you're running, you may get better mileage out of just committing to a spellslinger strategy that temporarily pumps a few big hitters. Monastery Swiftspear, Kiln Fiend, and Nivix Cyclops come to mind from older decks I've seen. Toss in some Assault Strobes and the like and lethal shows up fast. White also has some interesting magecraft creatures from Strixhaven that could fit the strategy. In summary, I'd either focus on swapping out some of your instants/sorceries for more consistent draw sources and payoffs (probably involving faeries) or I'd do the opposite by switching up your creature lineup to better payoff the spells you currently have.

That's a good call. I have Faerie Vandal to benefit from the draw, but something that damages per draw might be nice as well. I will have to play it a couple times to see what doesnt work, but I think i have a couple extra Crawlers in my library, so will have to find a space for it.

Looking at the list, I think it needs some adjustments before I play it for the first time. There are things in the list that are peripheral to the main game plan and could be swapped out for more consistency. I think my first need is for more removal.

Some candidates for swapping out include:

wallisface thanks for your feedback and insight! I agree with #1 and #3 completely; I haven’t put much time/effort into buying singles to fill out my deck and I’m still figuring out what matchups I need to deal with (my sideboard is very much “my next 15 cards that I’d want to use”) and some cards like Bind the Monster have come in handy against decks with large 0/X defenders to get them out of my way.

For #2: mutate in general tends to require high mana costs to take advantage of mutate. If I pare down and try to lower my mana curve, I’d probably get rid of most of my mutate cards and double down on card draw with Faerie Vandal, Lorescale Coatl, and Chasm Skulker. Any recommendations on which mutate cards to build around for 4+ mana?

Solid list. There are some great cards worth looking at which give this kind of list a lot of versatility- and a lot of the rares from Nightpack Ambusher era are cheap. Spectral Sailor, Mizzium Meddler, Lutri, the Spellchaser, Nimble Obstructionist, Faerie Vandal, Quickling, Wildborn Preserver, Vile Redeemer.

With Cathar Commando/Hushwing Gryff/Containment Priest, you could probably string together a strong w/u or w/g list. I remember messing around with Mantle of Leadership for this in the past. Sigrid, God-Favored+Niambi, Esteemed Speaker point to a legendary tribal option if budget legendaries show up for the archetype.

Hey Dude, I'm a Fellow Flash Fanatic as well!!!! Ikoria was AN ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER for Flash in Standard!

Dirge Bat with Sea-Dasher Octopus May be GOOD, but have you tried Sea-DashO with Faerie Vandal ?!? IT IS ABSURD!!! Lemme tell ya, A 2/2 Flyer whom gets a +1/+1 Counter on it after Each Swing, IS FKN DANGEROUS!

Check out my deck UB FLASH! If your interested, I strictly play only this deck and IMO its pretty Fine Tuned. Needless to say, I have put in Lotsa tweakage and am confident in this build. Try it out If you want to consistently Draw Cards and Flash ALOTTA SHIT, FTW. Just stay away from playgrounds with it..... LOL
